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.

    In much of Asia, especially the stalled “rice bowl” cultures of China, Japan, Korea,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.

    Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (make) of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also combine (结合) various hardwoods and metal{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(create) special designs.

    The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in large pots,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (use) twigs (树枝) to remove it. Over time,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly. Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(gradual) turned into chopsticks.

    Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} lived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C., influenced the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(develop) of chopsticks. Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) too violent for use at the table.

    Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia. In India, for example, most people traditionally eat{#blank#}10{#/blank#} their hands.

    When HarmonyOS, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices,  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(release) on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only represents the rise of the country {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a tech power, but also shows respect for classical Chinese culture by {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(name) the system "Hongmeng" in Chinese.

    Besides "Hongmeng; Huawei has also registered many of its  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(product) under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese mythology. For example, the company's server chip is called "Kunpeng", a mythical creature  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}changed from a fish into a giant bird.

    In fact, Huawei is not alone in using  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(tradition) culture for modem enterprises. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.(base) on the well-known work of classical Chinese mythology The Investiture of the Gods, Ne Zha is shown as a rebellious underdog, who has to overcome hardship and his dark fate to become a hero,  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(like) his attractive heroic character in previous cinematic works.

    As Global Times put {#blank#}9{#/blank#}, "ancient mythology has the power to stimulate contemporary imagination in young people". After all, imagination is  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}beginning of creation.

Traditional cameras {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (use) to take pictures in the past decades. But the biggest change has come {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the development of digital technology.

Does that mean the traditional camera will eventually become out-of-date? {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(figure)from Japan show shipments (运送) of digital cameras from companies like Canon and Nikon have dropped 39% year on year. But Phil Hall, editor of TechRadar, thinks there's nothing{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (worry) about because producers are looking at higher-end cameras.

Certainly, the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (grow) of smartphones opens our eyes to the creative possibilities they provide. But whatever camera viewfinder (取景器) we end up {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (look)through, it is important to remember the basics of photography and get your subject to say "cheese!"
