IX.Read the text and circle the correct answer for each question below.(5p) Another Intelligence Emotion intelligence as a theory , was bought to public attention by the book Emotional Intelligence , Why It Can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman.According to Goleman , Emotional Intelligence consists of five key elements . The first is knowing one’own emotions :being able to recognize a certain emotional state and having the ability to identify which emotion is being experienced .Second, emotion awareness can then lead to managing one’s emotions .This involves dealing with emotions that are difficult to accept when one is feeling low .Many people do this by treating themselves ; others are able to wrap themselves in positive thoughts .But there are , of course, many people who are incapable of doing this , and so need to be taught. The third area is self motivation.Our emotions can either empower or hinder us , so it is important to develop the ability to control them .Strategies can be learnt whereby emotions are set aside to be dealt with at a later date.For example , when dealing with success or good fortune of others , it is better not too suppress any “negative” emotion that arises .What is more , one just needs to be extra careful when making decisions and not allowed one’s emotions to cloud the issues , by letting them show how one solves a problem with that person .The separation ofn logic and emotion is not easy when dealing with people . The last element is recognising emotions in other people .This means , having or developing “social radar” , liking learning to read the weather systems around individuals or groups of people .Obviously , leading on from this is the ability to handle relationships .If we can recognise , understand and then deal with other people’ s emotions , we can function better both socially and professionally . 81.Emotional Intelligence as a theory A.is found by Goleman. B.is more important than other intelligences. C.was unheard of until the 1970s. D. Was discussed in a book written by Goleman. 82.According to Goleman , Emotional Intelligence A.consists of five areas. B. has influence on our everyday lives. C.is most important to realising emotional states. D.is an awareness. 83.In order to get rid of the unpleasant feeling ,some people can A.wrap themselves in positive thoughts . B.go out to entertain C.teach themselves how to relax . D.do nothing. 84.One way of controlling emotions is to A.hinder them B.ignore the negative ones . C.put them aside to deal with later. D.forget every thing in a short time. 85.Recognising and understanding people ’s emotions A.lets us handle the relationships easily . B.is learning to predict weather conditions. C.empowers us . D.hinders us . X.Finish each of the following sentences using the given words . Remember touse between TWO and FIVE words for each sentence.(10p) 86.jim has been teaching French for 5 years now.
