     Our spiritual intelligence quotient(精神智商),or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and
live fuller, happier lives.
     Though we're all born with SQ, most of us don't even realize that we have it. Fortunately,
you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple
steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.
     Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude(獨(dú)處)and
silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume(強(qiáng)度)in your busy, noisy,
complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for
silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work,
shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very
slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.
Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful
sunset. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flowers in bloom; follow the
flight of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.
     Ask Questions of Yourself. Ask open-ended questions, such as "What am I Feeling? What
are my choices? Where am I heading?"
     But don't expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural forms of e-mail. "Rarely do
I get an immediate answer to my question," says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister
in Sausalito, California. "But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a
perspective(角度) I never considered before."
     Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut(本能的)feeling to realize danger, spiritual
intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.
1. The passage is mainly about______.
A. what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit our life
B. what your SQ is and in what way it can be improved
C. the relationship between your SQ and your life
D. advantages and disadvantages of SQ
2. The underlined phrase "to tune in to your spirit" in the third paragraph probably
means to_________
A. get your spirit relaxed
B. keep up your spirit
C. keep seated quietly
D. change your spirit
3. From the passage, we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is______
A. a peaceful mind
B. deep thought
C. spare time and hobbies
D. good spirits
4. According to the passage, which of the following is True?_____
A. Not everyone has SQ.
B. You have to go to classes to learn how to improve your SQ.
C. SQ leads us to take wrong actions.
D. SQ can benefit our life.

閱讀理解

Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.

Li and his classmates from No.2 Middle School affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day(情人節(jié)) selling roses on the street. As night approached, they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.

Suddenly, a gang of robbers jumped out at them. The five robbers were tall and strong, so Li ran away to call the police. He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right. His classmates returned safe and sound.

So, what would you have done in Li’s situation? Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?

A new Beijing student code(守則) does not encourage you to risk(冒險(xiǎn)) your life to help them.

The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.

It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others in dangerous situations. Gone are the old calls, which had been in place since 1987, for students to “fight criminals(犯罪分子) courageously” and “sacrifice themselves to save other”. Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

A well-known example was Lai Ning, who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

The deaths connected to teenagers “heroic acts” started a national wide debate(爭(zhēng)論) about the protection of youngsters.

Wei Lusheng, a parent in Beijing, said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves, before learning from heroes.

But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

“Getting rid of the ‘fight criminals courageously’ words do not mean we deny the spirit of ‘fearlessness’ and ‘readiness’ to help others”, said Li Jing, an official in Beijing. “But, we should be more rational(理智的) about the spirit of sacrifice.”

Li Lu’ou agreed. “Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward,” he said. “But you need to おmake sure you are able to offer help. For example, it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning, but didn’t know how to swim. In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”

1.Which is true about Li and his classmates?

A.　　  They bought roses for each other on Valentine’s Day.

B.　　  They called 110 immediately they were held up by a gang of robbers.

C.　　  Li risked his life for his classmates in the dangerous situation.

D.　　 Instead of fighting the robbers Li thought it right for him to call the police.

2.The new student code was introduced in Beijing because_____________.

A. students are facing more danger than they used to

B.the old student code didn’t include the spirit of courage

C.the old one didn’t tell students how to protect themselves while helping others in trouble

D.the old student code encouraged students to sacrifice themselves to save others

3.Which can be inferred about Lai Ning?

A.　　  He was one of the top 10 model young pioneers in 1987.

B.　　  If it weren’t him, the forest fire would not have been put out.

C.　　  According to the new code, he shouldn’t have risked his life to put out the fire.

D.　　 His deeds did not agree with what the old student code encouraged.

4.The underlined word “deny” in the second last paragraph means “_____________”.

A. agree with　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    B.disagree with

C.connect with　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D.object to

5.According to the new student code which of the following statements is right?

A.　　  There will be more criminals after the new student code was introduced.

B.　　  The police in Beijing will have a more difficult time in keeping order.

C.　　  The spirit of “fearlessness” and “readiness” to help others will be thrown away.

D.  Teenagers are advised to make sure they are able to offer help when they want to.

閱讀理解

　　Two University of Oklahoma scientists are starting research that they hope will someday lead to the development of a vaccine(疫苗)to fight against the HIV Virus, which causes AIDS．

　　The research, to be carried out by Mark Lang, an assistant professor at the OU Health Sciences Center, and microbiologist John West, will examine the basic aspects of the immune system, rather than the complex aspects of the virus．

　　They theorize that if a key function of the body's immune system can be found exactly, it could be the first step toward developing a vaccine．

　　“To develop a new vaccine, we realzed we first have to study and understand the immune system,”Lang said．

　　Lang said their work will focus on researching the basic antibody responses from Natural Killer－like T－cells．A potential vaccine would contain NKT cells and would improve the immune system's antibodies, which fight outside invaders such as HIV by preventing them from entering cells or giving the immune system enough of a boost to kill them．

　　NKT cells, which have been a part of research into cancer and other diseases, have not previously been the focus of HIV research, Lang said．

　　The research will last 18 months, with tests being performed on mice．The Oklahoma Center is giving ＄300,000 toward the research, and if the research proves promising, Lang and West will apply to the National Institutes of Health for more funding．

　　“If we are successful, we will have made an important contribution to the field, but we will still be several steps away from an effective vaccine,”Lang said．

　　Lang said that in a best –case scenario(最好的情況)their research could lead to a vaccine ready for use in about four years．

(1)

The research to be carried out will focus on ________．

[　　]

A．

the immune system

B．

the test performed on mice

C．

NKT cells

[　　]

A．

growth in size

B．

an amount of time

C．

a great number

an increase in power

(3)

We can infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 that ________．

[　　]

A．

other researchers need to help them

B．

the research seems to be a failure

C．

further research needs to be done

D．

the vaccine can kill all viruses

(4)

Two Researchers Begin To Study the Immune System
