Do you know what your IQ is?You can find out by taking a test. But what about your EQ(情 商)? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

EQ is a measure of your ability to recognize(辨别)and manage your emotions, as well as the emotions of others, according to Psychology Today. 

Simply put(简单地说), having a high EQ means that you're a "people"person, You know yourself very well and you can easily understand others. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}They are the ability to recognize your own emotions; the ability to use those emotions to solve problems; and the ability to manage emotions, such as by calming yourself down when you're feeling nervous. 

Does it seem obvious(显然的)to you that having a high EQ can be a good thing? {#blank#}3{#/blank#}They show great social skills, especially when they take up the jobs that need them to deal with strangers often. According to Mind Tools, an online resource for career skill-building. many companies are now using EQ tests when interviewing new staff(员工) . 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} For example, when two friends have an argument, people with a high EQ can "read"the other person's emotions and know when and how to stop the argument, perhaps by ending it in a humorous way. 

If you feel like you have a low EO, don't worry. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}A good way is using positive thinking to help you get out of failure. By doing so, you can improve your EQ gradually(逐渐地).

A. It's possible to improve it. 

B. Do you know what EQ is?

F. Having a high EQ can help you in everyday life as well. 

 阅读下列短文, 从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 Shyness is a kind of fear. People who are shy always worry too much about what people think of them or embarrassing(使尴尬) themselves in some way in front of others. How can we overcome shyness?

1. Have a good posture(姿势)

 The way a person holds himself/ herself says a lot about that person. People with sloped(倾斜的) shoulders don't think of themselves as important. So stand up straight, put your shoulders back, keep your head up, and always make eye contact(接触). By practicing good posture, you will feel you have the ability to do things well.

2. Increase your walking speed

 You can tell if a person is confident (自信的) by the way he/ she walks. People who walk in a slow way, and look at the ground while they walk usually have no confidence in themselves. However, people who have confidence in themselves walk faster. That is because they have important things to do, friends to meet, places to go, etc. So walk a little faster, keep your head up, and look straight ahead.

3. Do some exercise

 Exercise increases your energy levels in the body. That will put you in a more positive(积极的) state of mind. By doing exercise, you will feel sure of yourself. Think about it; it is better to do some exercise than just watching TV all day.

4. Do things that make you feel good about yourself

 This can be anything that you really like doing like going to the theater, listening to music, traveling, helping someone out of a problem, etc.
