26、60; By the time the children reach high school,  something amazing has happened. A survey found that those who were fouryearolds had enough selfcontrol to hold out generally grew up to be more popular,  adventurous,  confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temp

27、tation （诱惑） early were more likely to be lonely,  easily upset in time of difficulties and inflexible.    Actually,  the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.    The hardware of the

28、brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can' explain what we wonder about most,  like the question why some people remain _ in the face of troubles that would defeat a less resistant （有抵抗力的）person.    Here comes t

29、he theory of Daniel Goleman,  writer of Emotional Intelligence:  when it comes to predicting people's success,  brain ability measured by 10 may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".    EQ is not the oppo

30、site of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together,  how one's ability handles stress,  for instance,  affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success,  researchers now generally agree

31、that IQ counts for about 20%,  the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.    While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously,  some few fear FQ invites misuse. （1）The purpose for the author to m

35、#160;The octopus （章鱼） has been a little frightening to people for years. It seems like it could be from another planet,  because the animal has eight slippery arms,  each of which has its own kind of brain. It is very different from a person's brain.    However

36、,  it turns out the sea creatures might be more like us than we thought. Scientists say that octopuses have been building cities underwater. Scientists have discovered that the socalled "gloomy （忧郁的，幽暗的）octopus",  whose scientific name is octopus tetricus,  is not that gloom

37、y and alone after all.    In Jervis Bay,  in eastern Australia,  this type of octopus has been seen to gather at a site that looks like a small city. Scientists have named it Octlantis. Octopuses have a way of talking to each other there and even kick each other ou

38、t of the site. Professor David Scheel,  leading a study on them,  compares,  Octlantis to our towns in his new report. The octopuses might be acting the way people do to each other,  he said.    The discovery of Octlantis is important. It backs up scienti

39、sts' ideas about what octopuses do. Another nearby octopus city in Australia was found below the water in 2009. It was thought to be the only one then. The city,  named Octopolis. was formed around a large piece of metal made by people. A writer,  Peter Godfrey Smith,  who wrote a

40、 book about octopuses,  went diving at the underwater city. He saw it as an underwater island where octopuses would be protected. They could hide from sharks and dolphins.    Octlantis does not have any human object at its center. Its ocean builders have built walls from the

41、 shells of other animals. These shells come from animals the octopuses ate. One reason for these underwater towns may be that there is a food supply nearby.    The cities may help the octopus evolve（j#1b）,  or change over a long period of time. They could make octopus b

42、rains better,  Godfrey Smith said. Octopus cities let us see how the animals act. They are said to be as smart as a person who is 3 years old. （1）Why is the discovery of Octlantis important for scientists？_A. It shows that octopuses can use human objects to build cities and housesB. It shows th

43、at octopuses could have built more cities.C. It shows that octopuses know how to work in groups to find food for everyone，D.

44、 a city？_A. They could hide from sharks and dolphins.B. It was thought to be the only one then.C. It backs up scientists' ideas about what octopuses do.D. The city was formed around a large piece of metal made by people. （3）What is the main writing purpose of the last paragraph？_A. It shows how

45、smart the octopus is.B. It shows how the octopus has evolved.C. It explains why it is important to study octopus cities.D. It calls on the readers to protect the octopus. （4）What can the readers get to know because of the discovery of octopus cities？_A. Octopuses have brains even in their arms，B. Oc

46、topuses might even be smarter than humans，C. Octopuses are very dangerous because they can work together.D. Octopuses have something in common with humans.      When the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south,  we know the season1sachange On S

47、eptember 7 comes White Dew （白露）. the I5th solar term （节气）of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls,  while dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.    For writers and poets,  autumn is a difficult season to descr

48、ibe. It's the end of the summer,  little sad. The days seem to get shorter,  and when you wake in the morning,  there's mist and it's cooler. Winter is just around the corner.    American writer Emest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast（流动的盛宴）,

49、  "You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold,  wintry light."    But on the other hand,  autumn has its good side. There are so many c

50、hanges at this time of year,  such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring,  "when every leaf is a flower." This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature. To Autumn by John Keats.

51、In that poem,  Keats says that autumn has its own songs,  just like spring.    Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature （成熟的）    The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this

52、idea in his poem The mild Swans at Coole（库尔的野天鹅）,  writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans,  he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years,  he's pointed out that even though we get older,  our hearts always stay the sam
