I never made the claim that EI matters more than IQ for academic achievements. My argument is actually that emotional and social skills give people advantages in areas where such abilities make the most difference, like love and leadership. EI does better than IQ in “soft” areas, where intelligence matters relatively little for success.
IQ is a much stronger predictor (预测指标) than EI of which jobs or professions people can enter. However, having enough intelligence to hold a given job does not by itself predict whether one will be a star performer or rise to management or leadership positions in one’s field. In part this is because everyone at the top level of a given profession has already been examined for intelligence. At those top levels a high IQ becomes a basic ability, one needed just to get into and stay in the game.
The one place, I expect, we will be seeing more data showing a relationship between skills in the emotional and social area and school performance, will be in studies of children who have gone through social/emotional learning (SEL) programs. These courses give students the self-management skills they need to do better on academic achievement scores. A study from the University of Illinois finds around a 10 percent increase in achievement test scores among these students. Probably, the SEL programs would also have meant higher scores on the particular assessment of EI used in the Australian study, and so if they had tested such children, there may well have been a positive connection.
Therefore, learning seems to be another area where EI may matter — whether more than IQ is a question based on experience. This is what I want to explain on this website.
32. The author writes the passage to ________. A. state his new opinion on IQ and EI B. explain the importance of IQ and EI

33. According to the author, EI matters more than IQ for ________. A. family relations; being promoted at work B. being a leader; receiving an MBA degree C. winning a quiz; becoming a star performer D. becoming an accountant; getting an interview 34. The author might agree that ________.
A. success has everything to do with intelligence B. the subtitle of his book is seldom misunderstood C. EI matters more than IQ for academic achievement D. IQ determines one’s basic ability to enter a certain field 35. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that ________. A. the two same studies have opposite findings
B. the SEL programs improve students’ scores rapidly C. students’ school performance is decided by their EI D. the SEL programs attempt to promote learning with EI

HOW COULD CHINA FIGHT BACK?
US President Donald Trump said Thursday he had asked the US Trade Representative to consider collecting 100 billion US dollars worth of additional tariffs (关税) on China imports. The headline Chinese publication Global Times says ‘nothing good’ would come out of a trade war with President Trump, and has warned that China could fight back.
So what could China do? Well here are a few options: 1) 36
China says the US tariffs are bad for global trade and has already said that it will work with other WTO
members to defend itself.
2) 37
Last May, the US and China signed a deal to allow, among other things, the comeback of US beef exports to China after 14 years. But there are specific requirements from the Chinese that US beef companies need to stick to.
3) Tell Chinese customers not to buy American cars
China is the world’s biggest passenger car market. By 2022 it will contribute to over half of the world’s car growth. 38 . It’s not unheard of for Beijing to instruct how Chinese consumers spend their money.
4) Tell tourists to stop visiting the US
China is the world’s leading outbound (向国外的) tourist market, with more than 130 million Chinese people travelling around the world each year — a number that just keeps rising. They spend something like $260bn (￡185.2bn) a year when they travel, and the US has also benefited. So the US could lose out if Beijing says America is a non-ideal place to travel to.
5) 39 China owns more than a $1tn of US debt. It has threatened to sell US Treasuries before, and many have worried that this level of debt could mean that Beijing has great impact on the US economy. 40 . A. Sell some US bonds (债券) B. Limit US beef imports
C. Negotiate with US government
D. Submit complaints to the World Trade Organization
E. China is also consistently among the top five export markets for US cars and car parts F. If a trade war between the two countries broke out, it wouldn’t just be Beijing and the US losing out
G. But the truth is even if China did sell US debt, it would most likely be picked up by other countries

I can’t swim so I have a strong fear of the water. Look back at my childhood, I think that three reasons might explain fear. Firstly, I was not allowed to go near the water when I was a child, as my mother had an unreasonable fear of the water. Therefore, I was taught to see to it as something danger. Secondly, my eyes gone bad when I was five. If I took off my glass in the water, I couldn’t see something. And this added up my fear. What’s better, as a child I once saw a neighbor drowned (溺水). Since then I have been more frightened.21cnjy.com
