Most people know that intelligence quotient (IQ) is important, but EQ is probably more important in daily life. When 1 (face) an exam, EQ helps us to manage our feelings. When we are getting along with friends or parents, EQ helps us to communicate well.
EQ 2 (shape) partly by genes(基因). You can see some babies are quiet, while others are not. 3 , EQ is something you can learn for yourself. You can learn what different feelings might mean and how they relate to 4 (you) and others. If we learn in the right way, our EQ can get better 5 we get older. Children with a high EQ usually have 6 (great) success with making friends. Having a high EQ needs a few different skills. Learning about these skills can help us to improve our EQ. But what are they Let’s take a look!
1. Know yourself
Most people feel many different feelings through 7 day. Some feelings like surprise last just a few seconds. Others, like joy and 8 (sad), may stay around much longer. Being able to recognize these everyday feelings is the most basic of all EQ skills.
2. Manage yourself
We all get angry. We all have disappointments. But we need to control it. It is not always the right time or place to express our feelings. When you are angry with someone, take a deep breath and 9 (simple) count to 10. This way, you can calm down.
3. Encourage yourself
When you fail an exam, you may be disappointed. But there is something more effective you can do — learn to encourage yourself. It gives you the energy and confidence 10 (move) on. It helps you to build a strong heart.

On my first round-the-world trip in 2006, I planned everything out before the trip. I knew where I was going, staying for how long, and how I would get there. And then half-way through I ditched the plan and went with the flow (随大溜). Over the years, how I plan my travel has changed. Now, I’m a last-minute planner and seldom travel with any plan.
Traveling without a plan gives you great flexibility (灵活性). Since nothing is booked far before the trip, you can turn to something different when you change your mind or something better comes along. I changed my plans to meet a friend on an island in Thailand and stayed for a month. I wouldn’t have had that experience if I had kept to my plan.
However, most new travelers are the opposite---they over plan their trips. They make plans for every day, sometimes even for every hour. Two days here, three hours there. I understand why people do that. When time is short, you want to see as much as possible. You don’t want to waste a single second.
But in travel, less is more. Spending more time in one place allows you to get a better feel for the rhythm (节奏) of life. You can visit more relaxedly, see more than just the interesting places, and spend your time on the happy accidents of travel.
When I first made my travel plan, I tried to include everything in it. Then I realized it was hard to make it come true, and changed my plan. I came up with a list of just one or two things I want to see each day. It’s an important lesson to learn. I think the best trip plan is to work out the general path you want to take, book the first few nights of your trip, and let your travels begin from there. This way you are never locked into a certain place if your feelings change.

A yearbook is a tradition of high school life in the United States. The book contains(包含)the name, photo, and signature(签名)of each student in your final year, so that you can remember who you went to school with. A 15 year old girl Catherine Cook and her brother David wanted more than this. They thought, “Why not have a yearbook online You could learn about people's music tastes, the movies they like, and so on.”
Catherine thought of the name—, and the logo(图标). To advertise the site, Catherine and David wore T shirts with the site logo to school and soon hundreds of their schoolmates became users of the site. She spent many evenings talking on the phone to programmers in India, and collecting ideas from her schoolmates. Then her older brother Geoff came up with the money to start up the website.
MyYearbook users can join in the fun by sending messages and “collecting” friends. They can watch the same videos from films and TV programs, and share music, photos, homework and study guides. Some teens feel they can't make friends more easily online. Chatting online helps some shy people not to feel left out.
Users can also make“Lunch Money”by doing activities on the site. They can then spend their Lunch Money on gifts, or donate (捐赠) it to charities. They have saved 0.3 km2 of rainforest, cleaned up 1 million kg of CO2, sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 20,000 kg of rice for people without enough food.
Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from finishing their schoolwork successfully, and going on to university where they still spent 50 hours a week on the site.

Do you have any special ways of sharing love and kindness What are some ways in which we can do this each day
My morning started out as 1 . I snoozed (打盹) twice, took 2 of my three cats, hurried to complete chores while drinking some coffee, and then rushed out of the door for my mid-morning meeting.
After I finished my meeting, I was 3 . I stopped at a restaurant to 4 a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) to take home and eat while working.
Since it was a lunch time, there was a line. A woman, who I soon learned was Marcella, was 5 at the register (柜台). She asked the woman behind her in 6 if she would like a drink and then asked me. We 7 said no. She said, “I got you.” But she continued to pay for both of our meals — even though we were strangers.
I asked Marcella 8 she did this. And she said that someone once did something 9 for her. The person asked her to pay it forward someday and she was making good things on her 10 .
Before I left, she gave me a warm hug and 11 me to do an act of kindness for a stranger when I could. I arrived home, but instead of working through lunch, I 12 and reflected back on her kindness.
Marcella didn’t need to pay for my lunch. But she did, and it cheered me up all day. Not because I got to 13 my $15, but because she was kind — and did not want to receive anything in return.
As I promised her, I 14 on paying her kindness forward. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll make a small difference in someone else’s 15 , and the ripple effect (连锁反应) will continue. Because that’s what being human is all about — being kind, even to a stranger.

Chinese singer Zhou Shen, 27, has become more popular after appearing on the TV show Singer (歌手). He impressed viewers not only with his unusual recording methods-he has performed in his bedroom twice due to the novel coronavirus outbreak-but also with his singing itself.

Singer Gao Xiaosong said Zhou has “come out of the cocoon (茧) and become a butterfly”. It has taken Zhou a long time to do so.

At 17, he sang online without showing his face. Some people were fascinated (着迷) by it. On one of his birthdays, he agreed to show his face. However, when they found out that he was male, some of them made fun of him. Zhou felt bad about this, but later he got the chance to sing the theme song to the movie Big Fish and Begonia (《大鱼海棠》), which turned out to be a big success.
After that, Zhou appeared on several TV talent shows. In his own words, “it was to give my voice a chance.” He even wore women’s clothes on the show Masked Singer. “It wasn’t hype (炒作),” he said. “I just want the audience to focus on my singing rather than my gender (性别).”

The world uses about a thousand million(百万)tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination(淡化)businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process(加工)more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
16.How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world
A.Under 10 million. B.Only 19 million.
C.About 92 million. D.Over 700 million.
17.Treating wastewater helps the environment by________.
A.storing waste in ice and snow
B.letting waste run into oceans
C.keeping waste out of rivers and oceans
D.sending waste to coastal countries
18.At present, the technology to process water________.
A.needs much energy B.saves much money
C.satisfies everyone D.causes pollution
19.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Water should be a human right. B.The water problem is still serious.
C.Our planet is covered with water. D.Everyone has enough clean water.

People always think about the relationship between money and happiness. We may think we can use money to buy happiness. It’s not true. Although some people have a lot of money, they don’t feel happy at all. However, you can spend money increasing it. A happiness shopping list might go like this.
16_______________
Sometimes the key to happiness is how you deal with your relationship with others. Use the money to attend a college party or a friend’s wedding(婚礼). This is especially important to younger adults as they need to attend a social life.
17________________
The usual advice is “buy experiences, not things”. But the difference between experiences and things is often not so clear. A bicycle can provide an experience, and a new camera can keep one. So buy experiences, and also think about buying things that allow you to have experiences or keep good memories.
18 ________________
Shouldn’t someone who mostly eats out spend much money buying an expensive set of kitchen cook Maybe he can bring himself happiness in this way. It reminds us that beautiful tools make work a joy. If you are interested in something, you can spend more on it.
19________________
Do you want to improve your health or diet but have trouble doing it That might mean choosing a cheap gym. It’s more convenient to you, and you could hire (雇用) a personal trainer. At the supermarket, it could mean buying healthy food that is more convenient. Sometimes, you can spend some money joining a sports club or buying some home sports machines.
20 _________________
If you really want to know how to buy happiness, try buying back some of your time and see how that feels. One thing that makes people happier is to feel they have control over their time and they’re not doing boring things. So that could mean paying someone else to do house cleaning or using a full-service laundry (洗衣房). You can spend the time you buy back on family or doing something you enjoy.
Buy back time. Buy experiences. Buy for your interests. D. Buy stress relief(减轻). E. Buy better relationships. F. Buy seft-discipline(自律).

What season is it in October If you ask people from the UK, they will tell you it’s “autumn”. But if you go to the USA, you will find that people use both “autumn” and “fall”. Why does this season have two names in English
According to a Dictionary. com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was the first to describe this season. During this season, crops (庄稼) would become ripe (成熟) and farmers would have a big harvest (丰收). So in old English, this season was simply called “harvest”.
Then, in 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word “harvest” became less useful. English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it “the fall of the leaf”, or “fall” for short.
But at the end of 1600s, autumn, from the French word “autompne” and the Latin “autumnus”, came to England. It gradually replaced “fall” as the word for this season.
At the same time, British people were making their first trips to North America. They brought both the words “fall” and “autumn” with them. That’s why today’s Americans have two names for one season.

Dad is an arborist—that's like a tree doctor. He and Mom love trees.That's why they named me Sylvia. It means “tree girl” or something like that.
Dad started me climbing trees four years ago. He always tells me to untie the carabiner(攀爬锁扣) from the end of my rope when I swing from one tree to another. “That way it can't get stuck on a branch(树枝),” he says. “But,Dad,it's faster to leave it on,” I tell him. And I'm pretty good with the ropes now.Mom worries a little, but Dad says it's as safe as walking if you follow the rules.
Today I was doing what I love best—climbing up one tree(a sugar maple),swinging over to another(a red oak) that's close by,then coming down that second tree. It's like flying,or dancing with the trees. But right now I don't feel great; in fact, I feel pretty stupid.
__▲__ First,I used an ascender(上升器) to go up. I put my rope over a branch and around the tree,and clipped it to my harness(背带).Next,I let out the line till I was about halfway down the tree. Then I kicked off the tree and swung way out and grabbed the next tree. The swinging part is a little scary at first,but lots of fun. Then I unclipped(解开) the rope from my harness so I could pull it out of the maple and put it in the oak.That's when I should have untied the carabiner. But I didn’t. It got caught on a branch,and I'm stuck. I wonder what to do.
Klee eer!I hear the call and look up. A beautiful hawk(鹰) glides overhead. I sure wish I could fly right now. Klee eer!It calls again. Maybe the hawk is wondering what I'm doing up here. It loops around and glides back over my head.
Wait a minute—a loop!That's it!Suddenly I know what to do.Thank you, hawk!
