课文A情商因素
南希·吉布斯
研究表明，科学家能通过观察四岁儿童对一粒果汁软糖的反应看到他们的未来。研究者邀请孩子们一个个地走进一间无装饰的房间，然后便开始这种温柔的折磨。你现在就可以吃这粒果汁软糖，他说。但是如果你在我出去办事的时候等着不吃，就可以在我回来时得到两粒果汁软糖。说完他就走开了。
有些孩子一等他出门就抓起糖来吃。有一些等了几分钟，也坚持不住了。但其他孩子却决心等待。他们蒙住眼睛；他们低下头；他们对着自己唱歌；他们试图玩游戏甚至睡觉。当研究者回来时，他把这些孩子辛辛苦苦挣来的果汁软糖拿给他们。然后，科学便等待着这些孩子长大。
等孩子们读到高中时，一些引人注目的事发生了。对孩子们的家长和老师的调查表明，那些在四岁时就有足够的自制力坚持等到第二粒果汁软糖的孩子，长大后大多成了适应性更强、更惹人喜爱、富于冒险精神、充满自信并可信赖的青少年。那些很早就屈服于诱惑的孩子们则更可能孤独、容易受挫和固执。他们承受不住压力，躲避挑战。当这两组中的一些学生参加学习能力倾向测验时，坚持了较长时间的孩子们平均得分高出了210分。
当我们想到卓越的才华时，我们便看见了爱因斯坦——深邃的眼睛，卷曲的头发，一合有着皮肤、穿着不配对的短袜的思维机器。在我们的想象中，事业上取得巨大成功者在出生时就为伟大作好了准备。但随后你就会感到奇怪，为什么过了一段时间后天赋似乎在一些人身上大放异彩，而在另一些人身上则黯然失色。这就是果汁软糖起作用的地方了。推迟满足的能力似乎是一种十分重要的技能，是理智型头脑对于冲动型头脑的胜利。总之，它是感情智力的一种标志。它在智商测试中是显示不出来的。
在本世纪的大多数时间里，科学家们都崇尚大脑的硬件和思想的软件；而心灵那令人捉摸不定的力量则留给了诗人。但认知理论却怎么也无法解释我们最感疑惑的问题：为什么有一些人看上去就有天赋生活得很好；为什么班上最聪明的孩子最终可能并不是最富有的；为什么我们一见到某些人就喜欢而对另外一些人则不信任；为什么面对不幸，一个适应性差一些的人会沉沦，而有些人则能保持乐观。总之，是思想或心灵中的什么品质决定了谁会成功？
“感情智力”这个短语是五年前耶鲁大学心理学家彼得·萨洛韦和新罕布什尔大学的约翰·迈耶为了描述某些品质一一如理解自己的感情、善解人意和“以提高生活质量的方式调节情绪”——而创造的。由于丹尼尔·戈尔曼的一本新书《感情智力》，他们的这一概念(缩写为情商）即将成为全国的热门话题。戈尔曼是哈佛大学的心理学哲学博士，《纽约时报》的科学记者，他具有一种天赋，能使最为难懂的科学理论为一般读者所理解。他把十年来的行为研究汇总为头脑如何处理感情。他在书的封面上宣称，他的目标是重新定义聪明的含义。他的论点是：在预测人们的成功时，由智商和标准化成就测验测得的智能也许不如以前被认为是“性格”（后来这个词变得过时了）的心理素质重要。
对于任何一位仔细读签饼中纸条的人来说，乍一看这里似乎没有什么新的东西。我们的心情主宰我们的头脑，这也许是最不新颖的观点。“我非常愤怒，”我们说，“我无法有条理地进行思考。”同样，“人际技能”是有用的说法也没有什么惊人之处，这就等于说与人为善是有好处的。“它真实到了琐碎的地步，”约翰斯·霍普金斯大学医学院精神病学主任保罗·麦克休博士说。但如果它真的那么简单，这本书就不会那样有趣，它的内涵也不会如此有争议了。
这绝不是抽象的调查。戈尔曼正在寻找“让文明重返我们的街道，让关爱再度光临我们的社区生活”的矫正方法。他到处都能看到实际应用的例子，教公司应如何决定雇佣谁，夫妻如何使他们的婚姻更可能持久，父母应如何抚养子女，学校应如何教育学生。如今，街区的流氓团伙代替了家庭，校园内的辱骂常以利器伤人告终，一半以上的婚姻以离婚而告终，这个国家大多数被谋杀的儿童是被父母和继父母杀死的，而许多父母和继父母却说他们是因为孩子挡住了电视或哭得太多这类行为在惩罚他。这一切都表明情感教育需要补课。
正是在这里会产生争议。迈克休说，戈尔曼的十分流行的结论“将使担心他的研究可能如何被应用的任何一位心理疗法的资深学者和任何一位神经系统科学家不寒而栗。”虽然这一较新领域的许多研究者很高兴看到感情问题终于受到了重视，但他们却担心像情商这样一
个便于使用的概念会招致误用。戈尔曼承认，能给一个人的性格和智力栎上数值的提法是危险的；戈尔曼甚至在他的书中从未用过情商一词。但他多少还是有些勉强地同意了在《今日美国》上登一份“不科学的情商测试卷，其中有这样的选择题，“我甚至能意识到我微妙的感情，”和“我能感觉到一个群体或一种关系的意向，并表达难以言表的感情。”
“你不想对你的情感技能取个平均数，”哈佛大学心理学教授，儿童发展研究的先驱杰罗姆，卡根说。“这也是把智力看作精神技能这一概念的错误之所在。有些人能很好地对付愤怒却不能对付恐惧。有些人不能承受喜悦。所以应该区别看待每一种情绪。情商不是智商的对立面。一些人有幸两者都拥有很多，一些人则每一样都拥有很少。研究者们一直试图理解的是它们如何互补；比如，一个人对付压力的能力如何影响其集中思想和发挥才智的能力。现在的研究者们大多都同意，在成功的要素中智商约占20%;其余的则取决于多种因素，从所属的阶级到运气到在人类进化的几百万年中已在大脑中形成的神经途径。

新视野大学第三版book1英语课后翻译答案 Unit1 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。他是一个谜一般的人物，人们主要通过后来的一些古典作家的叙述，尤其是他最著名的学生柏拉图的作品去了解他。苏格拉底以他对伦理学的贡献而闻名。他的教学法亦称为苏格拉底法，即通过提问和回答来激发批判性思维以及阐述观点。该方法在各种讨论中仍被普遍使用。他还在认识论和逻辑领域作出了重大而深远的贡献。他的思想和方法所带来的影响一直是后来的西方哲学的坚实基础。苏格拉底是古代哲学史上最丰富多彩的人物。他在他那个时代已威名远扬。虽然他未曾建立什么哲学体系，未曾设立什么学派，也未曾创立什么宗派，但他的名字很快就变得家喻户晓了。 Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient “sage”. His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analectshas had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years’traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius’thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community. Unit2 圣诞节是一个被广泛庆祝的文化节日，全世界有许许多多的人在12月25日庆祝这一节日。它是为了纪念耶稣基督的诞辰。该节日最早可追溯到公元336年。渐渐地，这一节日演变为一个既是宗教又是非宗教的节日，越来越多的非基督徒也庆祝圣诞节。如今，圣诞节在全球被作为一个重大的节日和公共假日来庆祝。不同国家的圣诞节风俗也各不相同。现代流行的圣诞接风俗包括交换圣诞贺卡和圣诞礼物、唱圣诞歌曲、参加教堂活动、摆放各种圣诞装饰品和圣诞树、举行家庭聚会以及准备一顿特别的大餐。对小孩子们来说，这个节日充满了幻想和惊喜。据传说，圣诞老人会在圣诞夜从烟囱进入每户人家，给乖巧听话的孩子带来礼物。由于圣诞节送礼物以及许多其他方面推动了基督徒和非基督徒的经济活动，圣诞节也因此成为商家的一个重大活动和主要销售季。 According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August 15 of every year is a traditional Chinese festival-the Mid-Autumn Festival.
