18、med to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing. Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, theres
19、 no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before Im finished or fail to take your turn when Im finished. Thats what was happening with Betty and Sara. It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expec
20、ted relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel. The general ph
21、enomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping(思维定式). And these social phenomena can have
22、 very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break inand never found it. Although back home she w
23、as considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up. Thats why slight differences in conversational styletiny little things like microseconds
24、 of pausecan have a great effect on ones life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problemseven in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training. 36. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her? A. Bett
25、y was talkative.B. Betty was an interrupter.C. Betty did not take her turn.D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.37. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns? A. Americans.B. Israelis.C. The British.D. The Finns.38. We can learn from the passage that.A. commu
26、nication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacingB. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USC. ones inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesD. one should receive training to build up ones confidence39. The underlined word “assertiveness” in the last pa
27、ragraph probably means.A. being willing to speak ones mind B. being able to increase ones powerC. being ready to make ones own judgment D. being quick to express ones ideas confidentlyB Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is the ability to read and understand emotions in ourselves and others. It is said
28、that emotional intelligence makes up 80 percent of ones success.Ever since the 1995 publication of US writer Daniel Golemans best-seller, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, EQ has been seen by leaders and educators as the solution to many social problems. In some Western countri
29、es such as the US, emotional intelligence is now taught widely in secondary, business and medical schools. EQ is important. But our enthusiasm for it has hidden a dark side, says a recent article in The Atlantic. Recent research and studies show that as people improve their emotional skills, they be
30、come better at manipulating (操控) others. When someone knows what others are feeling, they can motivate them to act against their own best interests.Does this remind you of those “managers” at pyramid scheme (传销) companies? Hundreds of thousands of otherwise cautious and rational (理性的) people have be
31、en brainwashed by their impassioned speeches and become bankrupt as a result.Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. A study by the University of Cambridge found that when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely t
32、o look over the message and remembered less of the content.Researchers call this the “awestruck effect” (敬畏效应), but it may just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect, says The Atlantic article. Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our ability to reason. If they have self-serving motiv
33、es, or their values are out of step with our own, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon of manipulation and the results can be destroyed.Another recent study from Kyoto University shows that people with high interpersonal EQ influence others emotions based on their own goals.A research team led by
34、 University College London professor Martin Kilduff shed more light on this dark side of emotional intelligence. According to them, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. Emotionally intelligent people “intentionally shape th
35、eir emotions to leave favorable impressions of themselves”, Kilduffs team writes in the journal Research in Organizational Behavior. It seems that to better understand the dark side of EQ, we need to look no further than Shakespeares Macbeth or its modern adaption on TV: House of Cards.40. Which of
36、the following statements about EQ is NOT true according to the passage? A. Many westerners have a good knowledge of EQ. B. EQ plays an important role in solving social problems. C. EQ can help you read and understand emotions in yourself and others. D. If a person has a high level of EQ, he will sur
37、ely succeed in everything.41. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph but one means that the research team _.A. made clear the dark side of EQ B. hid the positive side of EQ C. understand the positive side of EQD. discovered the dark side of EQ 42. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.
38、Macbeth was adapted from House of Cards.B. House of Cards helps us understand the dark side of EQ better.C. The dark side of EQ is shown neither in Macbeth nor in House of Cards.D. To understand the dark side of EQ better, wed better not refer to House of Cards and Macbeth.43. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The dark side of EQ. B. The importance of EQ to readers.C. The definition of EQ. D. The positive and negative aspects of EQ.限时7单选：ACDAD DBBAB ACCDC完形AABCD DCBAB BCADC DADBC阅读CBCD DABA
