We've all heard of IQ, and terms like EO, which relates to our emotional intelligence. But have you ever heard of AQ AQ stands for "adversity quotient" and measures our ability to deal with the ups and downs of life.
Adversity can take us by surprise and shock us. In the workplace, it could be in the state of being laid off (下岗), the company being closed,or missing out on good opportunities. Failed friendship and relationships, financial hard times and the losing of family members are thing that can happen outside of work. Being able to handle these hard things is not only important in professional lives but also in personal lives.
AQ measures our ability to face the shocks when life "surprises" us-how likely we are to struggle to stand up in these situations. It can be used to predict our attitudes, perseverance and the way we learn from changes in the environment. To be exact, our resilience (适应力) works when there is an unexpected change.
Luckily, there are some steps we can take to adapt to the adversity, according to Dr. Shahram Heshmat, professor of health economics. Fist, try to find a meaningful goal Resilient people often have an aim and are able to concentrate more on a desired result, seeing negative situations as a way to their goal. Learning to relax and control our emotions is another key step. See difficulties as opportunities to learn and grow emotionally. Finally, make sure we have a good social support. Being able to talk with someone about the challenges we face can help.
Unexpected things happen in life — and sometimes they aren't pleasant. But, taking a few steps to have better resilience can make them a little easier to get through.
1.What does AQ measure .
A.The pressure to face challenges B.The reaction to others' requests.
C.The feeling of meeting difficulties. D.The ability to handle the tough changes.
2.What should you do to overcome the hardships
A.Set a goal that is easy to achieve. B.Learn how to hide your real emotions.
C.Talk to everyone who can offer you help. D.See problems as opportunities to grow.
3.What can be the best title for the text
A.Self Help is the Best Help B.IO. EG. AQ Help You in Adversity
C.Be More Resilient to Face Hardships D.A Trouble Shared is a Trouble Halved

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first rate photo journalism—if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian built three master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton, a onetime British merchant navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.
4.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley
A.They were made last week. B.They showed undersea sceneries.
C.They were found by a cameraman. D.They recorded a disastrous adventure.
5.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text
A.Frank Hurley. B.Ernest Shackleton. C.Robert Falcon Scott. D.Caroline Alexander.
6.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage
A.Artistic creation. B.Scientific research.
C.Money making. D.Treasure hunting.

It could be said that the age of adventure peaked with Sir Everest Shackleton the moment his ship, the Endurance, become hopelessly locked in ice on its way to Antarctica in January 1915. For ten months the 28 men aboard Shackleton’s ship waited and prayed for ice to break. When it finally did, the Endurance sank, leaving the crew homeless and adrift on a sea of ice in one of the world’s most dangerous environments.
In January 2000 a luxury ocean liner found itself similarly trapped in the cold waters off Antarctica. Argentine authorities sent off an icebreaker straight away from the nearest naval base, and in 24 hours, all 176 passengers and crew were free. The tour company’s spokesperson spun the potential disaster as a value-added reward in extreme travel. “The people on board are looking at this as sort of a great adventure,” she said.
Ever since Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air made Everest a household name, the subculture of adventure has blown up like a Himalayan avalanche(雪崩) into public consciousness. Magazines promise “extreme” content, television, offers adventure programs, and the growing collective fascination with adventure has produced a flow of published accounts about the world’s greatest adventurous journey. Nowadays more and more people are interested in adventure and this mass appeal makes good business sense. Today the only thing blocking a would-be adventurer’s passage to Antarctica is the cost---- which typically runs well over $10,000.
Despite very different implications, adventure was just as popular in Shackleton’s time. He has little trouble filling the Endurance----5,000 men are said to have responded to his recruitment(招募) notice: “Men wanted for risky journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful.”
After five months drifting on ice, the crew were forced to take to their lifeboats to Elephant Island. Reaching the wasteland, Shackleton went on with one lifeboat and five of his best men 1,300 kilometers across the bone-chilly Scotia Sea to South Georgia Island. Shivering with cold, dressed in rags, Shackleton marched into a whaling station and set about organizing a rescue expedition to Elephant Island. Almost two years after becoming shipwrecked on ice, Shackleton picked up his crew. “Not a life lost, and we have been through hell,” he remarked earnestly.
10.What can we learn from the first sentence of this passage
A.The age of adventure began with the ship Endurance trapped in ice
B.Shackleton’s adventure marked the highest point of pure exploration
C.The age of adventure ended with the ship Endurance trapped in ice
D.Shackleton’s adventure predicted that the golden age of exploration was approaching
11.The word “spun” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_______”.
A.summed up B.judged C.boasted about D.referred to
12.Since Jon Krakauer’s book was published _______.
A.the media have got interested in the topic of adventure
B.the costs of extreme travel have gone up
C.Everest has got its name known to Europe
D.people have got fascinated by Himalayan avalanches
13.The adventure in Shackleton’s time has different implications from today’s in that _______.
A.Shackleton’s adventure lasted longer then any other adventure nowadays
B.no one was missing during Shackleton’s adventure
C.Shackleton’s adventure was entirely for the sake of adventure
D.Shackleton enrolled volunteers more easily

Overcoming Adversity
On the bus headed to the United States from Mexico, I experienced the saddest and longest ride I ever had. The thoughts of me not seeing my friends and family again were taking over my mind and causing a strong sense of depression. As I headed to a place I didn’t want to call home, minutes felt like hours and the hours felt like days.
“Welcome to the United States,” the driver said at the immigration checkpoint. The Officers repeatedly asked me for my passport, but I didn’t understand a single word coming out of their mouth. After we sorted out all the confusion we were on our way. With 3 hours left, a new thought took over my mind: stupidity. Not being able to understand a new language was the cause of my feeling. This filled me with a burning rage that I had never felt before.
Not understanding the new language I was introduced to was always a problem that I struggled with alone. In school, I felt like the problems were growing rapidly and I was losing control. The transition from being a straight-A student in Mexico to being a straight F student in the United States wasn’t easy and left me wondering if I could ever belong here. I was always known as the weird(怪的)Mexican in the classroom. Making friends was always hard because no one wanted to hang out with the weirdo(怪人)in the class.
I told myself that if I wanted to overcome my problem I had to practice it more. When it came to group assignments, I thought that it was the perfect moment to carry out my plan to hold a conversation with someone else. The moment arrived, I was nervous that it was my time to speak in the group. With a stutter(结巴), my first words came out of my mouth. “Hey my name is Jesus,” I said with a strong Mexican accent. Everyone in the group burst out laughing and the cause of their joy was my strong Mexican accent. This made me want to crawl up into a little ball and start crying in front of everyone.

八、After a year of hard work and long practices came my first success in reading. “We are going to do popcorn reading,” Mr. Cerda said, with a loud voice. I sat there anxiously, part of me hoped he wouldn’t call me, but part of me wanted to get the reading over with. Suddenly, I found myself reading the famous words of Dr. Seuss, You’re off to great places. Today is your day! Your Mountain is waiting, so… get on your way! When I finished reading, all I heard was silence. My classmates were in shock, and I realized my words were as clear as they can be.
A simple “Hey how are you” could be the icebreaker between people. I was a shy kid and I grew up thinking that I was going to be friendless forever. However, I eventually discovered that making friends and meeting new people was actually pretty easy. Whatever the case may be, my grades and ability to speak improved. I participated in tutorials, science fairs, and even competition for academics. All of this became possible when I found confidence in myself because of the inspirational words from Dr. Seuss.
