According to Peter Salovey, Yale psychologist and author of the term EQ, IQ gets you hired and EQ gets you promoted.
Salovey tells of a simple test. Some four-year-old kids were invited into a room and were given the following instruction: "You can have this marshmallow right now; or if you wait, you can have two marshmallows when I get back." Then, the researcher left. Some kids grabbed for the treat as soon as the researcher was out the door, while others waited for the researcher to return. By the time the kids reached high school, significant differences appeared between the two groups. The kids who held out for two marshmallows were better adjusted, more popular, more adventurous, more confident, and more dependable than kids in the quick gratification group. The latter group was also more likely to be lonely, more easily frustrated, more stubborn, more likely to buckle under stress, and more likely to shy away from challenges. When both groups took scholastic aptitude tests, the "hold out group" walloped the "quick gratification group" by 210 points (the test scores range from a minimum of 200 points to a maximum of 800, with an average for all students of 500 points).
Researchers have been discussing whether it’s possible to raise a person’s IQ. Geneticists say No, while social scientists say Yes. But while brain power researchers continue the debate, social science researchers have concluded that it’s possible to improve a person’ s EQ, and in particular, a person’ s "people skills, " such as empathy, graciousness, and the ability to "read" a social situation.
According to the social scientists, there is little doubt that people without sufficient EQ will have a hard time surviving in life. EQ is perhaps best observed in people described as either pessimists or optimists. Optimistic people have high EQ and treat obstacles as minor, while the pessimistic people have low EQ and personalizes all setbacks. In social research circles, EQ denotes one’s ability to survive, and it’s here that there may be an overlap between EQ, IQ, genetics and environment. As to that, I am reminded of the words of Darwin, "The biggest, the smartest, and the strongest are not the survivors. Rather, the survivors are the most adaptable." Those of us who survive and thrive in this complex world are not only the most adaptable, but also the most optimistic and the most likely to have a high EQ.
According to the social scientists, ______.
选项
A、pessimists have high EQ
B、optimists have low EQ
C、it’s impossible to improve a person’s EQ
D、a person having low EQ will have a hard time surviving in life
答案
D
解析
由第四段第三句“Optimistic people have high EQ and treat obstacles as minor,while the pessimistic people have low EQ and personalizes all setbacks.(乐观的人有高情商并把挫折看得很小,而悲观的人情商很低,并容易放大各种挫折。)”可知,选项A和B都不正确。由第三段第三句“…social science researchers have concluded that it’s possible to improve a person’s EQ(社会科学研究人员总结说提高一个人的情商是有可能的)”可知,选项C不正确。由第四段第一句“According to the social scientists,there is little doubt that people without sufficient EQ will have a hard time surviving in life.(社会学家认为,毫无疑问,没有足够的情商的人生活会很艰难。)”可知,选项D正确。所以,本题选择D。
