WHAT’S YOUR SPIRITUAL IQ
Our spiritual intelligence quotient(精神智商), or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.
While we’re all born with SQ, most of us aren’t even aware that we have it. Fortunately, you don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加强) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you this new level of understanding:
Sit Quietly. The process of cultivating(培养) spiritual intelligence begins in solitude(独处) and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to turn down the volume in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands of silence in your day. In the car, instead of reaching for the radio dial, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few deep 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’re walking the dog, take the time to admire flowers in bloom. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds float overhead. Gaze into the night sky and think of he stars as holes in the darkness letting heaven shine through.
Find An Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.
Ask Questions Of Yourself. Ask open-ended question, such as “What am I feeling What are my choices Where am I heading ”
But don’t expect and answer to arrive via(通过) some supernatural form of e-mail. “Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my questions,” says Revernend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito, California. “But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) I never considered before.”
Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feeling (直觉) to realize danger, spiritual intelligence usually pushes, not away from , but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.
The passage is mainly about ____
what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit our life
what your SQ is and in what way it can be enhanced
the relationship between your SQ and your life
advantages and disadvantages of SQ
To enhance your SQ, you should first _____.
A. bear loneliness and silence B. give up the daily things in your life
C. make your life simpler and less busy D. listen more to your whisper
3. The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit “in the fifth paragraph probably means_______
A. get your spirit relaxed B. keep up your spirit
C. listen to your spirit D. change your spirit
4. The author mentions the example of Reverend Joan Carter to show that _____
A there are no immediate answers to your questions
B. e-mails can’t help work out a problem
C. the more questions you ask, the better answers you’ll get
D. changing your way of thinking might help you solve a problem
5. 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
B
