21、Scientists find that they are able to see the future by offering each four-year-old child a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly (急切地) 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 as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident（自信的） 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(情感) 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(抵制的) soul.
Here comes the opinion 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”.
Emotional quotient (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 example, 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 on everything from social class to luck.
While this relatively new field of emotional intelligence is taken seriously now, some researchers still fear that EQ invites misuse.
【1】The experiment （实验）with the four-year-old kids shows that ________.
A．the age of four is a good time for scientific experiment
B．the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success
C．emotional intelligence won’t show up until adulthood
D．candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence
【2】The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”
A．kind
B．grateful
C．optimistic
D．excited
【3】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．Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.
D．Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together
【4】What is most likely to be written in the next paragraph that follows?
A．Information about famous people with high EQ.
B．Examples showing the bad voice about EQ.
C．Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.
D．Strong demands for basic emotional education.
22、Ask many actors and they will tell you it is hard to get work when you are just starting out and as you get older. However, it has not been the case for American musical (音乐剧) actress Susan Watson.
In 1958, at the age of 20, Watson was offered a part in the musical, West Side Story, in London. At that time, she was still a student at New York City’s Juilliard School for musicians, dancers and actors. More than 50 years later, she was offered another part. Watson took an important role in a remake of the musical, Follies, at the Kennedy Center in Washington and the Marquis Theatre in New York City. In both cases, the offers came from musical theater legend Stephen Sondheim. He wrote the lyrics for West Side Story and the music and lyrics for Follies.
As a teenager, Watson developed her dancing, singing and acting skills in her hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. She traveled to study at New York City’s Juilliard School before Sondheim interrupted her studies with the offer of a part in West Side Story. The awardwinning musical, based on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, tells a story of the struggles of immigrants (移民) in New York City. In the following two decades, Watson had starring roles in such wellknown musicals as The Fantasticks, Bye Bye Birdie, Carnival, Celebration and No, No, Nanette.
Musicals are an American invention. They tell stories through many art forms: spoken words, songs, acting and dances. “Music adds an important emotional element, making an interesting story even more powerful,” Watson said.
At age 78, Watson now lives in California, but she has not stopped performing. She just released a new album called The Music Never Ends. She is excited that six of the 14 songs on her new album were written by “empowered (获得授权的) women”, including Nancy Ford and Gretchen Cryer. She says her new musical record is selling “very well” partly because people do not have to go to a store to buy it. They can buy it online, like almost any other product.

24、How many bicycles do you need in your life? For 67-year-old Chai Lin, the answer is 1300 and counting. Chai's passion for bicycles dates back to the 1960s when he saw some people riding the two-wheeled vehicle in his home city of Lanzhou.
However, at that time, owning a bicycle was luxurious for ordinary Chinese. He had to cut back on other expenses for months before he could save up for a bicycle. To get enough money sooner, Chai made use of his talent in calligraphy and painting by selling artworks on the street. Thanks to all the efforts and “ crowd-funding" in his family, Chai got his first bike. The whole family treasured the bicycle and Chai was even unwilling to ride it.
Becoming a businessman years later, Chai began to collect bikes of various brands and ages, which brought Chai great satisfaction. But some of his friends said he bought nothing more than a pile of scrap metal, while others think he was blowing money on nonsense. But he was never influenced by those comments.
In 2009, with the support of the Gansu province government, he invested 200 million yuan for a museum just for his bike. After 10 years' effort, the Gansu bicycle museum, located in Chengguan district of Lanzhou, finally opened to the public in January 2019 free of charge. In the first half of 2021 alone, it received more than 900, 000 tourists.
Chai has constantly upgraded the facilities inside the museum, equipping it with state-of-the-art technology. For example, VR installation is available for visitors to experience the feeling of riding on different types of bikes. Chai hopes to expand the scale of the playing area of the museum and provide a comfortable home for his bikes.
