He was frail（虚弱的）and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of fresh orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with a note reading, "Drink your juice." I knew such a gesture was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love to me. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me!" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn't love you!" "Well, he never tells me," I complained. "He never tells me either," she said, smiling. "But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us."‎ I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. ‎ Dad owned and operated a small scrap（片）metal business and after school, I often hung around while he worked. I always hoped he'd ask me to help and then praise me for what I did. He never asked. His tasks were too dangerous for a young boy, and Mom was already worried enough that he'd hurt himself. Dad put scrap steel into a device that chopped （切，砍） it into pieces. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn't do things just right, he may get seriously injured. "Why don't you hire someone to do that for you？" Mom asked Dad one night as she rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment（擦剂）. "Why don't you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.‎ Many years later, during my daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on, I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.‎ ‎24.

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 school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who had enough self-control generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. Thus they had a better chance to become winners of life in the future. However, the children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible. ‎ Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence or EQ, which doesn't show up on an IQ test. ‎ The hardware of IQ and the software of EQ have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain optimistic in the face of troubles while others can’t. ‎ Here comes the theory of Daniel Coleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability which is measured by IQ may actually matter less than EQ. ‎ EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers are trying to understand now is how they work together and how one's ability to handle stress affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the factors for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ accounts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck. ‎ Although many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some people fear that EQ invites improper use.‎ ‎32. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that _________.‎ A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment B. high school students have higher EQ than four-year-olds C. candy can be used to measure a person's EQ D. the ability of self-control plays an important role in personal success ‎33. Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text？‎ A. The higher a person's EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is.‎ B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.‎ C. Scientists have already discovered how EQ and IQ work together.‎ D. One’s IQ may not be so important as EQ in deciding one’s success.‎ ‎34. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?‎ A. To amuse both the children and readers.‎ B. To introduce the topic of the text. ‎ C. To prove the scientist's wisdom. ‎ D. To show us how to do an IQ test.‎ ‎35. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?‎ A. Information about famous people with high EQ. ‎ B. Examples of EQ being misused. ‎ C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field. ‎ D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.‎ 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Perhaps you have heard somebody said this before: “Attitude is everything.” It is quite true indeed. 36.__________ For example, it makes you feel happier, have more positive energy and attract more positive people in your life.
