It's common to hear that being "emotional" is opposite from being "rational（理性的）".For many people，there is no place for emotion in rational thinking. However，some recent work from our lab suggests something opposite.
We found that individuals who score higher on tests of intelligence and rationality don't ignore（忽略） emotions. Instead，they pay more attention to emotions and are better at recognizing and understanding emotions. This is because most intelligent decision-making requires emotional information. Emotions tell us what we want，and we can't make smart decisions without first knowing what our goals are.
For example，as a mother，if I want to make my children happy，and I know they like video games，it would make sense for me to buy them a video game. But，if I instead want them to stay focused on homework，then it wouldn't make sense for me to buy them the video game. You can see from this example that a rational decision can't be made unless I know various pieces of emotional information.
Anticipating others' emotions may help us be more effective leaders - allowing us to predict the way people will respond to what we say or do. Anticipating our own emotions can also make for much more effective long-term decisions. For example，if I predict I will feel anxious before giving a public speech，I might be inspired to practice a few more times. If I instead simply ignored my anxiety，chances are that I'd be more disturbed on stage，and my speech wouldn't go smoothly.
Of course，it's important to find out situations where emotional influences may not be helpful as well. Here，individuals who score higher on rationality tests may be better at reflecting on whether an emotion will be helpful or not in a given situation. They can then make their decision after giving it deeper consideration. For example，expressing too much anger or sadness to your boss when you don't get an promotion（晋升） may not be in your best interest.
In general，if we want to be rational and make the best decisions，we should desire as much information as we can get —— and information about emotions can often be especially useful.
26.What is a widespread opinion about emotions and rationality？
A. Rationality can develop emotional intelligence.
B. Emotions help to make rational decisions.
C. They play opposite roles in thinking processes.
D. Rationality is more important than emotions in decision-making.
27.Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 3？
A. To show the process of decision-making.
B. To tell us the harm of ignoring emotions.
C. To draw the line between rationality and emotions.
D. To show the importance of emotional information.
28.What should be done to make the best of emotions according to Paragraph 5？
A. Recognizing their usefulness. B. Reflecting on the possible effect.
C. Completing the rationality tests. D. Thinking about various situations.
29.What does the author suggest for making wise decisions？ ______
A. Gaining enough information. B. Putting rationality at the first place.
C. Trusting direct feelings. D. Seeking expert advice.
30.What is the best title for this passage？ ______
A. How to Control Emotions for Better Decision-Making.
B. The Role of Emotions in Effective Leadership.
C. Why Ignoring Emotions Leads to Smarter Decisions.
D. Balancing Emotional and Rational Thinking in Decision-Making.

Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled "Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner."

My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park.

It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 34.
You and your partner will probably have different skills. 35. Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward.

Hough usually takes the bus to school alone, as his mom allows it. One day, an old woman boarded the bus with an anxious look. She fumbled in her pockets for fare but came up empty-handed. After explaining softly to the driver, she was waved to a seat. Behind Hough, a man whispered, “Why isn’t she paying ” and a woman replied, “She probably always expects a free ride—and gets it.”
Hough then noticed the bus sign: “No free rides, no spitting, no playing music.” He saw the old woman bow her head, her face flushed with embarrassment as she avoided everyone’s eyes. Though he didn’t know why she couldn’t pay, he felt sorry for her. He dug into his schoolbag for his wallet—filled with change from doing chores and selling bottles and wastepaper to a recycling center. Hough stood up, walked to the front, and dropped a shiny coin into the fare box. “For the lady,” he whispered to the driver, his heart swelling with pride. The driver smiled approvingly, and the machine beeped, confirming the adult fare was paid. A relaxed smile spread across the old woman’s face.
Two weeks later, a heavy rain soaked Hough after school—he had no umbrella or raincoat. When he got on the bus, he realized his wallet was gone. He searched desperately but found nothing, his heart sinking. As passengers stared, growing impatient, he told the driver he’d left his wallet at home and prepared to get off.
The driver stopped him, took out a coin, and paid for him. “This is for your kindness two weeks ago,” he smiled. Other passengers then offered a towel, a warm hat, and an umbrella. Hough held the umbrella tight, rain still on his cheeks, but the cold faded away. He looked at the driver and the other passengers, and he smiled.

As scheduled，we will reach Fuzhou by high-speed train. Our first destination will be Three Lanes and Seven Alleys，the cultural card of Fuzhou，which I believe can both satisfy your eyes and appetite. The second day will be spent at Fujian Provincial Museum，where you can appreciate a huge collection of cultural relics and learn about the development of Fujian's economy，politics，and culture over thousands of years. There is no doubt that it will be an enjoyable week. Would you please tell me your flight number so that I can pick you up at the airport？
Looking forward to seeing you again.
Yours，
Li Hua

W: I want to take a walk on the snowy campus. Would you like to go with me
M: Yes, I’d love to, but it’s 10 o’clock. I’m afraid I have only half an hour before my next class begins.
W: It’s enough time. Let’s go!

W: You don’t sound very happy, Eric. Are you okay
M: I am a bit sad. Though my new classmates are very polite, they don’t talk to me much. It seems like there is some kind of barrier between us.
W: That’s hard… Hopefully they will be more open as they get to know you more.

M: How old is Emily turning this year Didn’t she just have her 30th birthday last year

M: It’s been a whole year since our long tour of Ireland. Should we go back there again for holiday, Kelly
W: It was way too rainy and cold when we were in Ireland, and the trip cost me a lot. The people there were so friendly, though!
M: Then let’s just get our friends together and go to the beach.
W: Yes, it would be easier not to take time off from work.
M: I’m not working now, but my family would prefer me not to travel far away and save money.
W: Great. If we get a group of our friends together, we can share the cost and it won’t be expensive.

M: Look, Mom, the new neighbors have just arrived. We should go say hello. I think they have kids our age.
W: They do. I met them when they first came to look at the house.
M: Do you know the kids’ names
W: The girl’s name is Susan and the boy’s is Peter.
M: What are we waiting for Let’s go!
W: Not so fast! They’re probably very tired from their trip. Give them time to relax a little and get organized.
M: But we could help them carry their things in.
W: All right, but be careful not to get in the way, do you hear
M: Why don’t you bring them something cool to drink They must be thirsty after their trip.
W: That’s a fine idea. We must do all we can to make them feel welcome.

W: Professor Smith.
M: Hi Justine, how are you You don’t look very happy.
W: I’m okay. But I’m doing badly in your class. I am wondering how to do better.
M: I think coming prepared to class may do something to improve your grades.
W: How can I prepare for class
M: Have you checked out my web page All of my lecture notes are on my web page. You can read them first.
W: Really Wow, that would be very helpful.
M: Another good idea is to read the book before class.
W: I usually don’t do that. I thought hearing the lecture first was better than reading first.
M: Reading first is actually better. You should also write down ideas or notes while you’re reading. That way you can come to class with some questions.
W: Yeah, thank you very much, Professor Smith. I feel much better now.

W: Did that website have the information we need
M: Uh… no. Sorry. My friend sent me a funny video and… well…
W: Dave! We’ll never finish this report on time if you can’t stay focused!
M: I’m sorry. My phone just makes it hard to concentrate.
W: Can’t you turn it off
M: Not really. My mom worries if I don’t answer her calls.
W: You can turn off social media notices, though.
M: Good point. Thanks.
W: It’s OK. I also find it challenging to prevent electronic products from stealing my attention. However, the key is to find ways to make sure your attention doesn’t get taken away in the first place.
M: That’s a good suggestion.

M: Hello everyone! As you all know, every year the student union organizes a trip for the senior class. This year is no different! Our first major decision was to choose when we would go. Even though I know quite a few of you suggested taking the trip in the spring, we decided that a winter trip would be best. The reason is that we were worried that a spring trip would compete with the end-of-year exam period. It is important that we all do well on the exams. Those of you that would like to attend the trip must contact James Plymouth. He is the one responsible for trip bookings. Seats are limited, so it is wise not to wait until last minute. I am aware that last year many students were left out of their spring trip because they didn’t express interest early enough. For those of you that attend, a form must be signed by a parent. Also, concerning accommodation, you can decide among yourselves who you want to stay with and whether you prefer a single or double room. I think that just about covers it. Hope we have a great time!
