Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·大连模拟)What's more important in determining life success — book smarts or street smarts? This question gets at the heart of an important debate contrasting the relative importance of cognitive (认知的) intelligence (CI) and emotional intelligence (EI).
语篇训练
Cognitive intelligence is still recognized as an important element of success, particularly when it comes to academic achievements.People with high cognitive intelligence typically do well in school, often earn more money, and tend to be healthier in general.
But today experts recognize that cognitive intelligence is not the only determining factor of life success.Instead, it is part of a complex range of influences — one that includes emotional intelligence.Many companies now provide emotional intelligence training and use emotional intelligence tests as part of the hiring process.Research has found that individuals with strong leadership potential also tend to be more emotionally intelligent, suggesting that high emotional intelligence is an important equality for business leaders and managers.According to a survey of hiring managers, almost 75% of the responders suggested that they valued an employee's emotional intelligence more than his cognitive intelligence.
Now that emotional intelligence is so important, can it be taught or strengthened? According to one meta-analysis that looked at the results of social and emotional learning programmes, the answer to that question is definitely yes.Strategies for teaching emotional intelligence include character education, modeling positive behaviours, encouraging people to think about how others are feeling, and finding ways to be more empathetic (感同身受的) towards others.
All in all, life success is a result of many factors.Both cognitive intelligence and emotional intelligence play roles in overall success, as well as health, wellness, and happiness.Rather than focusing on which factors have a prior influence, the greatest benefit may lie in learning to improve skills in multiple areas.In addition to strengthening cognitive abilities, such as memory and mental focus, you can also acquire and improve social and emotional skills.

Success depends on determination and hard work.This is what I learned from my classmate Li Ming.
Li Ming once took part in a big running race that is held in our city each year and failed to be the winner.However, this is not the end of the story.He was not discouraged but kept trying, spending almost all his spare time practicing for the big event.And his efforts finally paid off when he competed in the running race again and did become the winner.
Li Ming's story has taught me the value of determination and hard work.His success inspires me to overcome challenges that come my way as I pursue my goals in life.
