(2019·南京、盐城一模)As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has

gone global, we've watched professionals fail as they try to improve their

emotional intelligence because they either don't know where to focus their

efforts or they haven't understood how to improve these skills on a practical

our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found

that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider

areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to

achieve — and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply

relying on understanding them conceptually.

The first step is to get a sense of how your self­perception (how you see

yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you)．

This is especially true for the development of emotional intelligence

because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of

our example, most of us think that we're good listeners, but

very often that's really not the t this external reality check, it

will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your

g feedback from others can also provide proof of the

necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.

To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your

self­perception and reputation, you should use a 360 degree feedback assessment

that takes into account the multiple facets of key is to find one that

guarantees confidentiality to those giving you feedback and that is focused on

development and not on performance assessment.

Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform

what you want to also consider what your goals it comes to

cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you're at a huge disadvantage

if you're only interested because others said you should emotional

intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在

地) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits

than it does when simply learning a skill.

That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the

intersection of the feedback you've gotten and the areas that are most

important to your own aspirations (渴望)．Understanding the impacts of your

current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long haul

as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.

Once you've determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify

specific actions that you'll you're working on becoming a better

listener, for example, you might decide that when you're conversing with

someone you'll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and

check that you understand before you it should also

take every naturally occurring opportunity to practice the skill you're

developing, no matter how small.

By starting to change your routine reactions, you'll be well on your way to

figuring out the old habits that aren't serving you well and transforming them

into new, improved ones that do.

语篇解读：本文主要讲述了提高情商的方法。

1．confuses/puzzles　根据第一段第一句可知随着情商(EI)的概念已经全球化，我们

已经看到一些专业人士在试图提高自己的情商时失败了，情商让他们很困惑，不知道该怎

么提高。

2．differences　根据文章第二段的内容“The first step is to get a sense of

how your self­perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation

(how others see you)．”可知，第一步要弄清自我认知和声誉之间的不同之处，故将

differ转变成differences。

3．capable　根据第三段的第三句“Without this external reality check, it

will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your

performance.”可知，如果没有这种外界的检验，你就很难确定你的行为会如何影响你的

表现。有了这种检验，我们就能够准确理解我们的内在行为了。be capable of doing

sth.“能够做某件事”，固定搭配。

4．motivated　根据第三段最后一句“Getting feedback from others can also

provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do

so.”可知，从别人那里得到反馈也可以证明我们有必要改变我们的行为和动机。

motivation转化成motivated。

5．assess　该题是第四段第一句“...you should use a 360 degree feedback

assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI.”的信息转换，故将

assessment转化成assess。

6．matters/counts　根据第五段最后一句“Your emotional intelligence is so

tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在地) motivated to

make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does

when simply learning a skill.”可知，要改变一个长期的习惯，内在的动力要比学习一

项技能要重要很多。所以要提高情商，我们必须搞清楚什么才是最重要的。

7．recognize/know/identify　根据第五段第一句“when you get your feedback

from an assessment, let that inform what you want to also consider

what your goals are.”可知，当你从评估中得到反馈时，让它告诉你想要改进什么。但

也要考虑你的目标是什么。所以要知道自己的目标。

8．Combining　根据第六段第一句“That means the areas that you choose to

actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you've gotten

and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations(渴望)．”可知，这

意味着你选择积极工作的领域应该处于你得到的反馈和对你自己认为最重要的领域的交叉

点上。因此，要把外部反馈和自我目标相结合，故答案是combining。

9．specific/clear/explicit　根据第七段第一句“Once you've determined which

EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that you'll take.”可

知，一旦你决定了你想专注于哪些EI技能，你就要确定你将采取的具体行动。关注到文本

中的specific即可。

10．Remove/Abandon/Quit　根据最后一段的内容可知通过开始改变你的日常反应，你

将会有可能发现那些对你无益的旧习惯，并将它们转化为新的、改进过的习惯。因此要去

除无用的旧习惯。

Decoding the young brain

There was a funny experiment to see how a young child would answer a

specific question compared to an the adult had spent some time

speaking with the child, he asked the child, “What do you think about me？”

The child answered, “You talk too much.” When the adult performed the same

experiment with another adult, the reply to the same question was, “I think

you're a very interesting person.” Even if the adult felt the same way as the

child, his brain allowed him to take a moment，consider the question, and come

up with an could have been annoyed, but his answer didn't reflect it

because he was being polite.

The secret lies in the science of the developing child's honest

answer was reflected in the fact that his brain wasn't equipped to filter(过滤)

information before answering the a result, he was honest, but he

said something that may have been r, the child did not

intentionally hurt the adult; it's just the way his brain a child

grows into adolescence and then into adulthood, that changes.

The human brain is made up of billions of neurons(神经元)．In order for our

body to execute a command, like getting up from a chair and walking to the

other room, the neurons in the brain have to communicate with each

also help us employ our senses like taste and touch and help us remember things.

When the neurons send messages, perhaps one sensation(感觉) the person

feels is excitement about eating a cookie because it is so , if

that person smells a cookie or hears someone talking about a cookie, it can

spark the electrical signals that call up the memory of eating the delicious

an adult, he or she may remember that eating too many cookies can

have consequences, like weight because the younger brain is more

impulsive(冲动的), the desire to feel the pleasure of the sweet treat outweighs

the consequences.

That is because when a child is young, his brain is “wired” in such a way

that he seeks pleasure and is more willing to take risks than an

affects his decision­making process and it is why younger people tend to be

more mes parents have to tell their children over and over

again before the child remembers that something is dangerous or many

times have we heard a parent say, “I tell her this all the time, but she never

listens！”

To conclude, what we know about the young brain is that children are more

likely than adults to be isn't always necessarily because they are

being naughty; it may very well be because of their the next time you

ask a child what he really thinks of you, be prepared for any kind of answer.

A young child's having a natural (7)______ to

seek pleasure and take risks results from his

young brain.

·This affects his decision­making process and

it is why younger people act in an impulsive

语篇解读：本文主要解码了年轻的大脑为什么回答问题会不假思索，是因为他们的大

脑更容易冲动。

1．off　off the top of one's head “不假思索”，固定短语。

2．thought　think twice 仔细考虑，三思而后行。

3．phenomenon　实验中这种现象产生的原因。

4．although/though　他很有可能会伤害到别人，尽管他自己不想这样做。根据句子

的逻辑关系可知用though或者although，表示让步。

5．making　根据第三段第一句“The human brain is made up of billions of

neurons (神经元)．”，可知答案为is made up of的转换，此处作定语，故填making。

6．associate　根据第四段第二句“Later, if that person smells a cookie or

hears someone talking about a cookie, it can spark the electrical signals that

call up the memory of eating the delicious cookie.”可知，一个人闻到甜饼的味道

会联想到吃甜点的记忆。associate ...with ...“把……和……联系起来”。

7．tendency　根据第四段最后一句“But because the younger brain is more

impulsive(冲动的), the desire to feel the pleasure of the sweet treat outweighs

the consequences.”可知，年轻孩子的大脑更容易冲动，所以他们更有可能冒险去体验甜

饼的滋味。tendency可能性。

8．dangerous　根据第五段第三句“Sometimes parents have to tell their

children over and over again ...is dangerous or risky.”可知，尽管被一再的警告，

孩子还是会接触危险的事物。

9．stronger/greater　根据最后一段第一句“children are more likelythan

adults to be impulsive”可知，孩子更加容易冲动，也就是大人的大脑抑制冲动能力更

好更强。

they are being naughty”，可知答案。
