Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.     By the time the children reach high schoo1,something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑)early were more likely to be lonely. easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的).    Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.    The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most,like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.    Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence：when it comes to predicting people’s Success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".    EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素)for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20％;the rest depends off everything from social class to luck.    While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.（3)The underlined word "upbeat" in Paragraph 4 probably means______________.A. kind             B. floating        C. excited           D. optimistic(4)Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To amuse both the children and readers.B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.(5)What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.D. Strong demands for basic emotional education. 【解析】  这篇文章讲述了情商所起的重要作用、它与智商的关系以及人们应如何看待。(1)C推理判断题。从文章第二段的第二句可推出答案为C。 (2)C正误判断题。从倒数第二段的第一句"EQ is not the opposite of IQ. "可知EQ和IQ并没有相对立的关系，由此可判断C项正确。(3)D猜测词义题。从画线词所在句后面的内容“困难可打倒意志不坚定的人”可猜测出"upbeat"是“乐观的”意思。(4)C写作意图题。文章从"make an experiment"入手，从而引出作者要谈及的话题EQ和IQ。(5)B文章结构题。从文章的最后部分"some few fear. EQ invites misuse"可推出，下文最有可能谈及少数人对EQ持否定态度的例子。 *********************************************************结束单选题高考预练1. --I hope he won't get ill during the examinations.--___________ .
