四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】
It was a steamy afternoon in New York City. I was heading to my hotel. As I stepped onto a bus, I was greeted
by the driver, a young man with a warm smile. “Hi! How are you doing” He greeted each passenger in the same
way.
As the bus moving slowly through traffic, the driver gave lively commentaries: there was a terrific sale at that
store…a wonderful exhibit at this museum…had you heard about the movie that just opened yesterday? By the time
people got off, they had shaken away their gloomy shells. When the driver called out, “So long, have a great day!”
each of us gave a smiling response.
The memory has stayed with me for nearly 20 years. I consider the bus driver a man who was truly successful
at what he did.
Contrast the driver with Jason, a straight-A student at a first-rate high school who aimed at getting into
Harvard Medical School. When a physics teacher gave Jason a lower-than-usual grade on a quiz, the boy believed
his dream was broken. He took a knife to school, and in a struggle his teacher was stabbed in the shoulder.
How could someone of obvious intelligence do something so foolish? The answer is that high intelligence
quotient (IQ) does not necessarily predict who will succeed in life. Experts agree that IQ contributes only about
20% of the factors that determine success. A full 80% comes from other factors, most importantly your emotional
intelligence (also called emotional quotient or simply EQ), which is made up of qualities like self-awareness, mood
management, impulse control, self-motivation, and people skills.
