Most students do an IQ test early in their school career. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (student) doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (high) IQ and that there is nothing they can do {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (change) facts. However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (simple) the result of a high IQ.

    While your IQ tells you how {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (intelligence) you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovery, who {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (invent) the term EQ, gives the following description: At work, it is IQ {#blank#}8{#/blank#} gets you promoted. Supported{#blank#}9{#/blank#} his academic research, Professor Salovery suggests that when predicting someone's future success, their character, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.

    Body language is one of the most powerful {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(mean) of communication, often even more powerful {#blank#}2{#/blank#}spoken language. People around the world show many kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is possible to "read" others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(speak) communication. Of course, body language can be misread, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} many gestures and actions are universal.

    The most universal {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(face) expression is, of course, the smile- its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(true) happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(hide) other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone" {#blank#}9{#/blank#}_ (lose) face" and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (feel).

    March 14 is, perhaps quietly, celebrated as Pi Day, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} day to honor the number that many people are familiar with. The date comes from the first three number of Pi: March is the third month,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (follow) by the one and four that make 14. Pi {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (appear) wherever there are circles. Pi is a ratio. It measures the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (distant) around a circle to its diameter(直径).

    A website, Piday.org , shows little known facts about the number. Pi has been{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(universal) known for thousands of years and gets its name {#blank#}6{#/blank#}a Greek letter, π. The Greeks are believed to have used the letter to describe the ratio. The first Pi Day {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(celebrate) on March 14, 1988. San Francisco's Exploratorium Science Museum started the event, according to the site. The museum marks the day with a daylong celebration {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(include) a parade.

    March 14 has other scientific {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (link). It is the birthday of physicist and Nobel Prize winner Albert Einstein. Princeton University, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}Einstein lived for many years, celebrates Pi Day as well.

    After four years of living here, I have a better {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(understand) of northern China's food.  

    Northern China's hearty food is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(general) more acceptable to Westerners. They can enjoy Beijing roast duck, beef and dairy from Inner Mongolia, and Korean dishes in the northeast. Northern China experiences cold and dry winters, and hot summers, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) calories and salt replacement more important. As a result, northern dishes have strong flavors, compared with the south {#blank#}4{#/blank#} dishes are lighter in flavor.  

    Wheat is the main crop of northern China, and you will find a variety of wheat-flour {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(product). Rice is also eaten in the north, but it is certainly secondary to wheat. Dumplings are very popular in the north, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(serve) with vinegar for dipping.  

    Northerners tend to eat more meat and dairy for the purpose {#blank#}7{#/blank#} fighting against the cold weather. Most meat dishes {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(base) on mutton, pork, beef,  chicken,  and fish.  

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} are less fresh vegetables available because of the cold weather. Fruit is traditionally limited to a few hard seasonal varieties like apples, so it doesn't feature much in the cuisine, although the northwest is famous for {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(it) dried fruit and wine.  

    Who invented the ATM? There have been {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (argue) for years over who should officially go down in history as "the inventor of the ATM". Now the UK government is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (clear) saying it was James Goodfellow {#blank#}3{#/blank#} invented the ATM.

    Back in the mid-1960s, James Goodfellow was working {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a development engineer for Glasgow firm Kelvin Hughes, and had been charged with inventing a way to enable customers to withdraw (取) cash from banks when Saturday opening ended. "Most people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (work) during the week couldn't get to the bank. They wanted a solution. The solution {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) a machine which would issue cash on demand to a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (recognize) customer," he said. "I set out to develop a cash-issuing machine, and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) this a reality, I invented the pin (personal identification number) and an associated coded token (代币)."

    The cash machine has become a world-conquering piece of technology. There are now 3 million ATMs worldwide, with {#blank#}9{#/blank#} number forecast to hit 4 million by 2020. The good news for Goodfellow is that people are beginning to know him for his invention. Even {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) for him, the Home Office has now officially recognized his other achievement.
