Theatre reflects the values of the civilization out of which it grows. The following are the types of theatre

performances an ancient Roman might have witnessed then.

Fescennine Verse

Fescennine Verse was a pioneer of Roman comedy. Ironic and improvisational（即兴的）, it was used mainly at

festivals or weddings, and as invective. With early native Italian funny dialogues in Latin verse, it was thought to

have combined with a tradition of performances by masked dancers and musicians from Etruria.

Fabula Atellana

Fabula Atellana relied on common characters, masks, direct humor, and simple plots. They were performed

by actors improvising. Fabula Atellana came from the Oscan city of Atella. There were 4 main types of characters:

the braggart, the greedy blockhead, the clever hunchback and the stupid old man, like modern Punch and Judy

shows.

Fabula Togata

Named for the clothing symbolic of the Roman people Fabula Togata had various subtypes. One was the

Fabula Tabernaria, named for the tavern（酒馆）where the comedy’s preferred characters, lowlifes, might be found.

One describing more middle-class types, and continuing the Roman clothing theme, was the Fabula Trabeata.

Fabula Praetexta

Fabula Praetexta is the name for Roman tragedies on Roman themes, Roman history or current politics.

Fabula Praetexta was less popular than tragedies on Greek themes. During the Golden Age of drama in the Middle

Republic, there were four great Roman writers of tragedy, Naevius, Ennius, Pacuvius, and Accius. Of their surviving

tragedies, 90 titles remain.

All the performances above began as a translation of Greek forms, even to the extent of their being

performed in Greek costume.

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

cannotbe 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 (重视) 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 (视角) 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.

4. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?

A. It can be measured by anIQ 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.

5. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?

A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
