Science Daily (May 1S, 2012) - People who rate themselves as having high emotional    intelligence (El) tend to overestimate (高估) their ability to detect deception(欺骗) in others.      This is the finding of a paper published in the journal Legal and Criminological Psychology on 18 May 2012.
Professor Stephen Porter. director of the Centre for the Advancement of Psychological     Science and Law at University of British Columbia Canada along with colleagues Dr. Leanne Brinke and Alysha Baker used a standard questionnaire to measure the EI of 116 participants.
These participants were then asked to view 20 videos from around the world of people     pleading (祈求) for the safe return of a missing family member. In half the videos the person     making the plea was responsible for the missing person"s disappearance or murder.
The participants were asked to judge whether the pleas were honest or deceptive say how much confidence they had in their judgments, report the clues (线索) they had used to make those judgments and rate their emotional response to each plea.
Professor Porter found that higher EI was associated with overconfidence in assessing the sincerity of the pleas and sympathetic feelings towards people in the videos who turned out to be responsible for the disappearance.
Although EI, in general, was not associated with being better or worse at telling the difference between truths and lies. people with a higher ability to notice and express emotion (a component of EI) were not so good at spotting when people were telling lies.
Professor Porter says: "Taken together, these findings suggest findings features of emotional     intelligence and the decision-making processes they lead to may nave the paradoxical (适得其反的) effect of weakening people"s ability to detect deception."
"These findings are important because El is a well-accepted concept and is used in a variety of fields, including the workplace"

A.EI has something to do with telling truths and 1ies.
B.The participants were asked to identify liars on the spot.
C.The participants had to tell reasons for their judgments.

D.were good at spotting deception

A.indicate that people with high EI are mostly adults
B.indicate that EI is very important in the workplace

When asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer "to keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.
If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.
Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer"s body just as well.
Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month"s clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!

A.Looking attractive to others.B.Following the fashion.

If Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be many candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.  It’s nothing personal.  Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius.  In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.  More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.  These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学).  Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy.  Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.  So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.  Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. 
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
小题1:The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.
A.provide some key facts about Confucius
B.attract the readers’ interest in the subject
C.show great respect for the ancient thinker
D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
小题2:We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______.
A.have a great interest in studying Chinese
B.take an active part in Chinese competitions
C.try to get high scores in Chinese exams
D.fight for a chance to learn Chinese

C.Chinese Culture for Westerners
D.Old Thinker with a Big Future
小题4:The passage is likely to appear in ___________.

Peer pressure can be a powerful force, and sometimes a positive one. For example, hanging out with active peers may lead kids to       more, making a child’s social network a vehicle for promoting healthy habits and        obesity unconsciously.
The scientists studied networks of a group of students aged 5 to 12 and       how the youngsters’ made and dropped friends, and        effect these changing relationships had on their physical activity level.
In fact, children        their exercise level little by little to better      those in their circle; children who    with more active students were more       to increase their physical activity levels,        those who befriended more sedentary(久坐不动的) children became        active. The children were mirroring, following or adjusting to be        to their friends before they knew it.
The encouraging        suggest a potentially effective way to change children’s behavior.        relying only on organized exercise programs to get moving, perhaps introducing sedentary kids to more active ones — might help more kids        the couch.
It’s believed that this is a possible novel approach to obesity       . The social environment does carry more power than we have given it        for, so we should make use of that intentionally to influence kids.
     that children are increasingly connected to one another,        through face-to-face interactions or virtual ones, their        networks can clearly have a deep effect       many aspects of their behavior-help kids in the long run by turning them into healthier adults.

It’s common to hear the honking of horns in New York. Whoever tries every day to get more than a few minutes of sleep in the city will tell you that he could do nothing about it! Honking of horns is just one of their most widely enjoyed pastimes.
But Aaron, a Japanese website developer has had enough of it. Once, the 31-year-old man approached the open window to wait for the driver to finish honking, delivered a polite "excuse me" and then yelled " Ho-o-o-o-onk!", which suggests fierce anger in Japan. Then he threw three eggs from the window of his apartment on to a passing car honking loudly below when his patience was worn out. Instead of apologizing to him, the driver threatened to kill him angrily. So, nobly, Aaron turned to non-violence. He started writing anti-honking haiku verses, a form of Japanese poetry, and submitted them to local newspapers:
Oh .forget Enron;
The problem around here is;
All the damn honking
(Enron: a major American company that recently caused a scandal by going bankrupt be­cause of corrupt(腐败) mismanagement)
"Then this kind of chain reaction started happening," Aaron says. "All these other haiku star­ted appearing that I haven"t written." Aaron’ s community is now covered in anti - hon­king poetry, written by all walks of life, ranging from scary environmental activist types to violent revolutionaries:
Patience slowly fades;
Residents store up their eggs;
That day is coming soon.
It’s no surprise that Aaron has started a website — www. honku. org — and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti - honking activities. It seems that poetry can change the world after all. Then, just recently, anti-anti- honking haiku started to appear, taped up by locals who thought Aaron should stop worrying about honking and start wor­rying about starving children, say, or war in the  Middle East instead. Aaron has an answer for that. "Stop me if this is too tenuous(不靠谱的) ," he says," but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it" s a force of nature, like it" s beyond our control. But actually it"s kind of like the honking - the violence is man -made. If we can figure out how to stop honking on the streets, I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale. "
小题1:The first paragraph of the passage is intended to tell us that_______.

B.most New Yorkers enjoy sleeping late in the morning
C.honking noise has influenced people"s life in New York

D.Complained to the government.
小题3:According to the passage, most New Yorkers think Aaron"s response is ___.
A.pointless
B.abnormal
C.sensitive
D.acceptable
小题4:Faced with the criticism of his anti-honking campaign, Aaron notes that___.
A.fierce violence in the Middle East is more of an issue worthy of concern
B.finding the solution to anti - honking is as meaningful as that to starvation
C.big issues are beyond our control while small ones are under our control
D.if not handled properly, honking may cause serious problems like starvation
