He moved there a few y
8、ears ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends. My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy
9、with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor caf. We walked along that
10、 afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my sons funny facial expressions. Gone was my fathers critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before? The next day dad
11、took out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment.

14、lds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the candy 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 amazing has happened. A survey
15、 found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally and grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation early were more likely to be lonely, easily upset in time of difficulties and inflexible. Actually, the
16、ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesnt 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 cant explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the f
17、ace of troubles that would defeat a less resistant (有抵抗力的) person. Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting peoples success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.
18、EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together, how ones ability handles stress, for instance, affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ cou

While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse. 7.Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A.make

Scientists havent discovered the way EQ and IQ work together DThe baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby. Almost from the moment it is born, the baby
23、monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment, particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey begins to avoid n
24、ewcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother” the real mother or the mothersubstitute (母亲替代物)During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered th
25、is fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mothersubstitutes one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth mod
26、el was cool, for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mothersubstitutes as their favorites.Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact comfo
27、rt seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers skins, putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mo
28、ther and rubs itself against her body. Wire doesnt “rub” as well as soft cloth does. Prolonged (长时间的)“contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a babys lov
29、e for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be.It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the baby rushes to it a
30、nd holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mothersubstitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is we
31、ll. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its “mother.” 11Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?AWarmth. BMilk.CContact. DTrust.12After th

35、n the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors（客厅）where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? 16 . 17 They certa
36、inly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty. There are a vari
37、ety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. 18 But in a number of large cities It is a major problem. Another problem is the carelessness of pet
38、owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat and they continually push their parents until they get one. But the parents dont realize how much time and money must be spent on the little friend after its brought home. Then they abandon it. 19_ You must have read of children being hurt by pets on
39、the street. Lastly,1 would suggest something should be done about it. In my view, its time we stopped being sentimental（伤感的）about pets. 20 This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases. A. Many people find this funny. B. Theres no definite answer to that question. C. I can see no
40、 reason why we should get upset when animals are used for medical experiments. D. Pet foods often contain more vitamins than human food. E. As a result. they are allowed to run free. F. This can be seen when we look at pet foods. G. No. the English too, pay more attention to their pets.第二部分 完形填空（共20
