18、etter place. He has managed to put his words into action showing those around him that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. As the son of working parents, Fila had to make the most of every opportunity no matter how small. “I remember there was a small basketball hoop near where I lived.

19、 It looked like it was from the 1940s and there was no net.” He remembered. But that was Filas introduction to sports and played an important role in his life. Fila played high school football in Sedalia, Colo. In order to prove his talent, Fila went to West Hills Community College in Fresno, Calif,

20、 where he played football for two years. A serious leg injury (伤害) in his second season seemingly prevented his plans of playing at a four-year college, but there was another college that was taken by Filas ability and offered him a chance to play two more years.

The researcher invites the children into a simple room. “You can have this sweet right now,” he says. “But if

26、 you wait while I go out for a few minutes, you can have two sweets when I get back.” And then he leaves. Some children eat the sweet the moment hes out the door. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others make up their mind to wait. They cover their eyes, they put their heads down, the

27、y sing to themselves, they try to play games or even fall asleep. When the researcher returns, he gives these children their sweets. And then, science waits for them to grow up. By the time the children reach high school, something unusual has happened. A survey of the childrens parents and teachers

28、 found that those who as four-year-olds were strong-minded enough to hold out for the second sweet generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable teenagers. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early on were more likely to be lonely and easily upset. When we think

29、of excellence, we see Einsteindeep-eyed, woolly-haired, a thinking machine. High achievers, we imagine, were born for greatness.

30、leasure of meeting needs is a master skill, a victory of the reasoning brain over the impulsive (冲动的) one. It is a sign, in short, of emotional intelligence. And it doesnt show up on an IQ test. In his book Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman argues that brain power as measured by IQ actually mat

31、ters less than qualities of mind like understanding ones own feelings, empathy（同情）being sensitive to other peoples feelingand the ability to 初三英语期中试卷初三英语期中试卷 第第 6 6 页页 共共 1111 页页 manage your own emotions. EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers are trying to understand is how they work to imp

32、rove each other. Among the ingredients (因素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%: the rest depends on everything from luck, to social class and emotional intelligence. In the business world, according to personal executives (主管), IQ gets you a job, but EQ gets yo

D Every time people make a new acquaintance (泛泛之交), be it at a job interview, in primary school, parents night, or at dinner with a friends family, first impressions (印象) decide whether people consider each other l

36、ikeable. “More than half of a first impression is affected (影响) by appearanceclothes, makeup, body language, gestures, and facial expressions,” said Mahena Stief, a business psychologist. But, it often makes a difference who the other person is. “Im certain that when men judge women, appearance play

37、s a greater role than when women judge other women,” said Lydia Maier, chairman of an association of color and style advisor. With the help of a mirror, a good female friend and a good male friend, ones own appearance can be completely valued. Some important questions are: What effect do I have on y

38、ou Why is that so Do I want to have that effect or something completely different The first place to look is in the closet (衣橱). “Good clothes are not contingent upon how much was spent on them. Whats important is that the clothes are clean, fit well, and match the personality of the person wearing

39、them,” said Maier. Depending on the occasion, choose a timeless, careful, or stylish set of clothes for an introduction. “Generally speaking, the importance of fashion has increased in recent years,” said 初三英语期中试卷初三英语期中试卷 第第 7 7 页页 共共 1111 页页 Professor Gerhard Amendt, director of an institute at the

40、 University of Bremen. He sees a danger, however, that the personality of a person could be lost behind a fashionable appearance. Well-being and inner balance are shown in body language such as good behaviors, open expressions, smooth movements, and help to cause a positive appearance. People who ar

41、e comfortable with themselves appear balanced to others. “You can do a lot for your own well-being,” said Stief. “It begins with clearing away major dissatisfactory things in your life.” Relaxation exercises, yoga or weight training help the progress of balance. Exercising also helps people look hea

42、lthy and energetic. Expressive body language and gestures, appealing facial expressions, and communication skills can be learned by attending management meetings or adult education courses. No one becomes a perfect talk master through these means, but they help people recognize how others interpret

43、their outward behaviors. “A considerable part in appearance is self-confidence,” said Amendt. “Only those people who are sure of themselves, who know their own strengths, and feel certain of them come across as self-confident and convincing (使人信服的).” 30. What does Mahena Stief think of first impress

44、ions A. Friendship is built on the first impression. B. Women consider appearance more important. C. Appearance affects the first impression greatly. D.

47、t for talking. It is our most important communication tool. Through language, we can tell other people what we think, how we feel, and what we need. In fact, civilization (文明) itself depends on our ability to communicate. In the long history of human, languages survive, grow, disappear, move from pl

48、ace to place, and change with time. Now, some languages are ancient, and others are new. There are about 6,000 different living languages around the world today, and there are many thousands more that are no longer in use. Languages might sound different, but they are thought to have come from a sin

49、gle ancient language. It would be quite interesting if we search for stories about the creation and disappearance of languages. Nobody knows exactly when people first started using language. Some scientists say that people first spoke to one another about two million years ago. Today, our sophisticated (复杂的) languages get fully used in the magazines, novels, science books, and movies that fill our libraries and bookstores. As human, it is important that we can tell the long stories, which separate us fro
