18．Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional（情感的）intelligence.Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test，such as character，motivation，confidence，mental stability，optimism and "people skills." Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities，but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes.The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients，while a cheater might use it to control potential victims.Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support，the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis（重視）on emotion by employers，educators and others interested in promoting social well-being.The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable，we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion.It is our hope that in coming decades，advances in science will offer new perspectives（視角）from which to study how people manage their lives.Emotional intelligence，with its focus on both head and heart，may serve to point us in the right direction.
（1）What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence？
A．It can be measured by an IQ test.
B．It helps to exercise a person's mind.
C．It includes a set of emotional skills.
D．It refers to a person's positive qualities.
（2）Why does the author mention "doctor" and "cheater" in paragraph 2？
A．To explain a rule.
B．To clarify a concept.
C．To present a fact.
D．To make a prediction.
（3）What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence？
A．Favorable.
B．Intolerant.
C．Doubtful.
D．Unclear.
（4）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence？
A．Its appeal to the public.
B．Expectations for future studies.
C．Its practical application.
D．Scientists with new perspectives.組卷：38引用：1難度：0.6 -
19．I was grocery shopping recently in my hometown，N.Y.，when I heard a young voice rise. "Mom，come here，you've gotten see this!There's this lady here my size!"
The mother was mortified and rushed to a boy she called Mikey，who looked to be about seven；then she turned to me to apologize. "Oh，I'm so sorry."
I smiled and told her， "It's okay." Then I looked at her wide-eyed son and said， "Hi，Mikey，I'm Darryl Kramer.How are you？"
He studied me from head to toe，and asked， "Are you a little mommy？" "Yes，I have a son，" I answered.
"Why are you so little？" he asked.
"It's the way I was made，" I said.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness.I stand three feet，nine inches tall.I am an achondroplasia dwarf （軟骨發育不全的侏儒）.Like most achondroplasia dwarfs，I have two average-height parents，as well as an average-height brother.When I was born，my mother was told in the hospital that I was a dwarf.Not knowing a lot about dwarfism，my mom's main concern was my health.Our family doctor put her mind at ease when he told her he felt I would not have any major medical concerns.He was right.
When I was growing up，my parents encouraged me to do all the things the kids around me did.So when my neighbors got two-wheel bikes，I got a two-wheel bike.When they roller-skated，I roller-skated.I didn't see anything different in my parents' eyes about me.Why should I look at myself differently？Therefore，I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life.I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage.And when I accepted myself as I was，life wasn't that difficult after all.Most people around me were friendly and protective.
I'm 47 now，and it's the children's questions that make my life special. "Why are you so short？How old are you？Are you a mommy？" When I talk with children，they leave content that their questions have been answered.My hope is that in taking time with them，I will encourage them to accept their peers，whatever size and shape they come in，to know that every human deserves due respect.
（1）The underlined word mortified is closest in meaning to.
A．angry
B．ashamed
C．interested
D．grateful
（2）What made the author accept her physical uniqueness？
A．That she almost died at birth.
B．That her parents loved her more than her ordinary-sized brother.
C．That her parents treated her as an ordinary person.
D．That all the people around her were protective and kind.
（3）Why is the author patient with children's questions？
A．Because she wants to tell them about the rare disease.
B．Because she notices that children are usually kinder than adults.
C．Because she also has a child and wants to be a loving mum.
D．Because she expects them to respect every human.組卷：7引用：3難度：0.5

And that takes discipline（紀律）.Here are some tips which can help you make full use of your time.

21．閱讀下面短文，根據其內容寫一篇60詞左右的內容概要。
A trained Search and Rescue （SAR） dog can help us locate victims of natural disasters，accidents and crime.So，do you want to train your dog for search and rescue work？A dog that is friendly and approachable makes for a fantastic search dog.While it is true that training a puppy（小狗）is definitely easier，it doesn't mean that training a grown dog is a lost cause.Puppies need to interact with several humans of all ages as much as possible，so that they become more approachable.
Take your dog out on regular walks in the park，make him run and sweat regularly.SAR dogs are required to be good at swimming，hiking and walking in various areas that aren't safe.Ideally，this dog needs to be exposed to all the elements of nature so that the conditions during an actual task don't take him by surprise.
An average dog can hear sounds between frequencies ranging from 40 Hz（赫茲）to 60 kHz，which is really sharp.A SAR dog，on several occasions，needs to take helicopter，snowmobile or speed boat rides，which can be really noisy for their sensitive ears.Dogs that are used to harsh sounds perform well under any circumstances，and those sharp ears always come in handy to locate sounds that even humans can't hear.
Following a scent（氣味）is a quality that comes naturally to all dogs.To train your dog to follow the scent，you'll need a piece of cloth and three or four small buckets（桶）.The buckets should be placed close to each other in the upside down position.Then，take the piece of cloth and let the dog smell it.This piece of cloth should be taken away from the dog and placed under one of the buckets.
Allow the dog to smell your clothing and secretly hide in another room.Let another person command the dog to find you.When the dog has found you successfully，a reward in the form of a treat should follow.As your training advances，you must repeat this exercise using different people，and on different outdoor locations，under varied weather conditions and at different time of the day.組卷：9難度：0.4
