Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a

two - week supply of water and food.

Potatoes

Shelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool, dry, dark place

Yukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoes will last from two to three weeks. Larger white potatoes can last for

three to five weeks. Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life. Don't store them next to onions, however. The

two might go together well in cooking, but raw, each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to

spoil faster.

Tea

※Shelf life：6 to 12 months past "sell - by" date

Dried tea leaves, whether loose (in a sealed container) or in teabags (in an unopened box) can easily last a

year or more if they' re not subjected to damp or humidity. However, the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.

Peanuts

● Shelf life：1 to 2 months

Peanuts in their shell, especially when kept cool and dry, are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as

two months.

Canned fruits and vegetables

● Shelf life：1 to 2 years past "sell - by” date

Canningis an extremely efficient means of preserving food. Generally speaking, if canned foods aren't

subjected to extreme heat, their contents should stay good for two years or more. Be aware, however, of dented

cans or those with swollen tops, which may indicate the presence of bacteria inside.

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.

6. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?

A. Favorable. B. Intolerant.
