he current paradigm (范例) of school-based learning. Not to mention widely extending the remit (职权范围) of school in terms of content and form, in particular modifying the relationship between life and school. Many teachers and parents alike might well insist that such learning is not a question for schools, but rather the responsibility of parents. But the family is no longer the ideal place for it. In the Western world, the majority of families have shrunk from an extended community to its strict minimum, and much less time is spent in the family than in school. What's more, parents are not always in a position to cope with such emotional skills.

Scientific research, in particular on how the brain works, indicates that the formation of emotional skills is much easier in the "formative" years from birth to the later teens. Looking at existing structures, school is the major activity in that age group. However, emotions rarely have a place in schools. Beyond infant school and early primary school, almost all efforts are concentrated on cognitive (认知) skills. What's more, there is little or nothing in the standard training of teachers that prepares them for such a task. Yet there is no subject where the quality and ability of teachers would be more crucial.

Introducing emotions in schools would be a radical change! Yet schools don't change so readily. Those well-meaning people who have tried to introduce innovations in schools have come up against considerable resistance from teachers, students and parents alike. Yet without their active participation, no such far-reaching change is possible.

One possible solution would be to start by introducing them in the spaces around school. During the breaks, for example, Daniel Goleman describes how appointed pupil mediators (调停者), once all involved, know the rules of the game and resolve conflicts in the playground. A "school for emotions" could be a local, community-based activity in connection with other activities like parent-teacher associations, artistic expression groups and clubs.

What's the author's attitude towards introducing emotional skills in schools？

A．Positive.

B．Pessimistic.

C．Indifferent.

those of others, and to act appropriately using these emotions. Research suggests that a person’s emotional intelligence (EQ) might be a greater predictor of success than his or her intellectual intelligence(IQ), despite an assumption that people with high IQs will naturally accomplish more in life.

The Marshmallow Test is mentioned in Emotional Intelligence, by Goleman. How a child performs on this test at the age of 4 is a better predictor of his or her future success in life than his or her IQ.

What researchers do is leave the child alone in a room with a marshmallow, telling them they can either eat the marshmallow immediately, or, if they can wait till the researchers return, they can have 5 marshmallows.

What this is testing is ―impulse control and the ability to ―delay gratification . It’s an example of ―frustration tolerance . Much of what we want later on in life requires resisting the immediate impulse, and also being able to ―delay gratification , i.e., when in college, you might have preferred to be off surfing in Hawaii, but, since you valued what a college education would do for you, you stuck with it. And it meant giving up some things you might have preferred doing at the time.

Some of the children can’t resist, and take the marshmallow immediately. Others stick it out, and what do they do？ They count their fingers and toes... get up and look out the window... find a book in the room and read it... look up at the ceiling—they are very clever!

Somewhere they developed this skill... could it have been their parents？

My mom used to tell me ―When you’re angry, stop and count to ten. She was teaching me to stop and think before I spoke or took action. This is a tried-and-true way to emotional intelligence—stopping to think before you act or react.

ust more logical capacity, but emotional capacity as well.

Feelings aren't usually associated with inanimate machines, but Rosalind Picard, a professor of computer technology at MIT, believes emotion may be just the thing computers need to work effectively. Computers need artificial emotion to understand their human users better and to achieve self-analysis and self-improvement.

The more scientists study the "wetware" model for computing—the human brain and nervous system—the more they conclude that emotions are a part of intelligence, not separate from it. Emotions are among the tools that we use to process the tremendous amount of stimuli in our environment. They also pay a role in human learning and decision making. Feeling bad about a wrong decision, for instance, focuses attention on avoiding future error. A feeling of pleasure, on the other hand, positively reinforces an experience.

"If we want computers to be genuinely intelligent, to adapt to us, and to interact naturally with us, then they will need the ability to recognize and express emotions, to have emotions, and to have what has come to be called 'emotional intelligence,'" Picard says.

One way that emotions can help computers, she suggests, is by helping keep them from crashing. Today's computers produce error messages, but they do not have a "gut feeling" of knowing when something is wrong or doesn't make sense. A healthy fear of death could motivate a computer to stop trouble as soon as it starts. On the other hand, self-preservation would need to be subordinate to service to humans. It was fear of its own death that prompted HAL, the fictional computer in the film 2002: A Space Odyssey, to kill most of its human associates.

Similarly, computers that could "read" their users would accumulate a store of highly personal information about us—not just what we said and did, but what we likely thought and felt.

"Emotions not only contribute to a richer quality of interaction, but they directly impact a person's ability to interact in an intelligent way," Picard says. "Emotional skills, especially the ability to recognize and express emotions, are essential for natural communication with humans."

In the future computers will tend to be made ______.

A．fictional

B．humanized

C．economical

hildren. But one gift is often beyond their reach: the resources to meet the financial demands of college tuition.

For more than 54 years, the United Negro College Fund has fulfilled the dreams of deserving students by closing the gap between the cost of college and what their parents can afford. More than 300,000 students have graduated from United Negro College Fund member colleges since 1944, and 54,000 more axe currently enrolled (入学).

The oldest and most successful minority higher education support organization, the United Negro College Fund is a combination of 39 private, historically black member colleges and universities. Since its founding, it has raised more than $1.3 billion to keep the dream alive for needy families across the country.

What is it that makes the United Negro College Fund so important to America's families？ As well as raising funds and giving technical support to member colleges and universities, it creates hope and opportunity by providing financial assistance to deserving students. Consider the contributions of just a few of the distinguished graduates who have realized the benefits: civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; opera diva Leontyne Price; Olympic track star Edwin Moses; and filmmaker Spike Lee.

Most parents feel embarrassed when their children graduate from high school because they can't ______.

A．afford their children's college tuition

B．offer their children emotional support

C．look after their children

D．give them gifts on their birthdays
