Our spiritual intelligence quotient (精神智商)，or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.
Though we"re all born with SQ, most of us don’t even realize that we have it. Fortunately, you don"t have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.
Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude (独处) and silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume (强度) in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.
Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flower in bloom; follow the light of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.
Ask Questions of Yourself. Ask open-ended questions, such as "What am I feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?"
But don"t expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural form of e-mail. "Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question," says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito, California. “But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective(角度) I never considered before.”
Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut(本能的) feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.
68. The passage is mainly about .
A. what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit our life
B. what your SQ is and in what way it can be improved
C. the relationship between your SQ and your life
D. advantages and disadvantages of SQ
69. The underlined phrase "tune in to your spirit" in the third paragraph probably means to _____.
A. get your spirit relaxed B. keep up your spirit
C. keep seated quietly D. change your spirit
70. The author mentions the example of Reverend Joan Carter to show that .
A. there are no immediate answers to your questions
B. e-mails can"t keep working out a problem
C. the more questions you ask, the better answers you"ll get
D. changing your way of thinking might help you solve a problem
71. From the passage, we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is .
A. a peaceful mind B. deep thought C. spare time and hobbies D. good spirits
So what’s wrong with sitting? The answer seems to have two parts. The first is that sitting is one of the most passive things you can do. Compared to sitting, standing in one place is hard work. To stand, you have to tense your leg muscles, and engage the muscles of your back and shoulders; while standing, you often shift from leg to leg. All of this burns energy.
You may think you have no choice about how much you sit. But this isn’t true. Suppose you sleep for eight hours each day, and exercise for one. That still leaves 15 hours of activities. Even if you exercise, most of the energy you burn will be burnt during these 15 hours, so weight gain is often the cumulative(累积的) effect of a series of small decisions: Do you take the stairs or the elevator? Do you walk to the corner store, or drive?
But it looks as though there’s a more sinister aspect to sitting. Some evidence suggests that when you spend long periods sitting, your body actually does things that are bad for you.
Lipoprotein lipase(蛋白脂酶) is a molecule that plays a central role in how the body processes fats. Low levels of lipoprotein lipase are associated with a variety of health problems. Studies in rats show that leg muscles only produce this molecule when they are actively being moved. The result is that when you sit, an important part of your metabolism(新陈代谢) slows down. You may also have a higher risk of suffering from diabetes(糖尿病).
Some people have advanced radical solutions to the sitting syndrome(综合症): replace your sit-down desk with a stand-up desk, or watch television in a rocking chair. But whatever you choose, know this. The data is clear; look out for your chair.
小题1:What would be the best title of this passage?
| A．Become an Athlete to Be Healthy. |
| B．Choose a Better Chair for You. |
| C．How to Speed Up Your Metabolism. |
| D．Stand Up While You Read This. |
| A．taking too much exercise harms people’s health |
| B．sitting a lot reduces the benefits of taking exercise |
| C．people needn’t depend on exercise to keep healthy |
| D．healthy people are those who sit less and stand more |
| A．Exercising at least an hour a day. |
| B．Standing as long as possible. |
| C．Using our energy actively in daily life. |
| D．watching TV in a rocking chair. |
| A．show that it plays a big part in keeping us healthy |
| B．tell us that it isn’t produced while we are sitting |
| C．suggest that we should take less exercise to be healthy |
| D．prove sitting for long is bad for our body |
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms (症状).
In studies, ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s . It has helped people improve their memory over time. It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.
Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one. It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world. The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s, the better ARICEPT can help .
ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone. Some people may experience not sleeping well, feeling very tired, or not wanting to eat. In studies, these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time. Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.
小题1:If one suffers from Alzheimer’s, ________ .
| A．he has trouble with his memory |
| B．he can’t do everyday things on his own |
| C．he often forgets things because he is old |

| A．A medicine to cure Alzheimer’s |
| B．A medicine to delay signs of aging. |
| C．A medicine to reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. |
| D．A medicine to cure brain damage. |

Today, calcium shortage is one of the main concerns of women in their 30s or even early 20s. The great fear is that when we reach our 50s or 60s, osteoprosis(骨质疏松症)will set in. That is why you can see a lot of advertisements for products supposedly containing a lot of calcium.
Because calcium is not that easy to acquire from the food we normally eat, busy women these days should take calcium supplements(补充物). There are a lot of different forms of these---calcium carbonate(碳酸钙)，oyster(牡蛎)shell or bone-meal-based calcium supplements.
You have to be careful when choosing which kind to take. This is because calcium is not easily absorbed by the body. So the fact that you are taking supplements doesn’t mean that the body is actually benefiting from them. Different supplements may have different instructions on dosage(剂量)and manner of intake. You can ask your doctor to help you determine which supplement is the best for your needs.
小题1:From what the author’s mother did we may infer that___________________.
| A．her children had osteoporosis |
| B．she knew her children would benefit from milk |
| C．she must have suffered from osteorosis |
| D．she didn’t like her daughter who didn’t obey her order |
| A．The author’s sister will suffer from osteoprosis when reaches her 50s or 60s |
| B．Many businessmen have already been selling products supposedly containing calcium. |
| C．We can’t get enough calcium only from food we eat every day |
| D．Women as young as their 20s should be concerned about calcium shortage |
| A．Honestly | B．Frankly | C．Secretly | D．Curiously |
| A．what one chooses as a calcium supplement might not work |
| B．one shouldn’t take in calcium without the permission of a doctor |
| C．the more calcium supplements one uses, the more calcium one can take in |
| D．it is dangerous to use calcium supplements without the guidance |
British and Canadian experts say drugs could attack the parasite（寄生虫） causing the illness．They say the drug could be ready for human medical test in about 18 months．
The disease, spread by the bite of a fly, is caused by a parasite attacking the central nervous system．It has similar symptoms（症状） to malaria（疟疾）, making it difficult to diagnose．Left untreated, it moves to the brain, resulting in mental confusion and final death
The "breakthrough" came at the University of Dundee in Scotland, where scientists were offered money to research diseases ignored by major drugs companies．
Professor Paul Wyatt, director of the programme, said: "This is one of the most significant findings made in recent years in terms of drug discovery and development for ignored diseases."
He said the research, published in the journal Nature, represented "significant progress" in the development of a full blown drug against the disease．
The World Health Organization said there are between 50,000 and 70,000 cases of the disease a year, with a further 60 million people at risk of infection．
The research in Dundee was backed by partners at the University of York in England and the Structural Genomics Consortium in Toronto, Canada．The two drugs currently available to treat sleeping sickness both have problems．One is with side effects that kill one in 20 patients and the other is costly, only partially effective and requires long-time hospital treatment, the scientists said．
小题1:The word backedin the last paragraph probably means_____.
| A．conducted | B．supported | C．believed | D．managed |
| A．about 60000 people died of the disease each year |
| B．about 60000 people were cured of the disease each year |
| C．600 million people are likely to get infected |
| D．the disease is spreading fast in Africa |
| A．in the journal Nature |
| B．in a newspaper of the University of Dundee |
| C．in a book about flies |
| D．in a newspaper about medicine |
| A．big drug companies play an important role in the research of the new drug |
| B．people who get infected with the disease are mentally disturbed |
| C．among 200 people infected with the disease, 5 may die because of the old drug |
| D．Professor Paul Wyatt may be a professor at the University of York |
