Emotional intelligence as a theory was first brought to public attention by the book. Emotional Intelligence, Why It can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman, but the theory itself is, in fact,attributed to two Americans, John D Mayer and Peter Salovey. What is emotional intelligence exactly? According to Goleman, Emotional Intelligence consists of five key elements. The first is knowing one's own emotions : being able to recognize that one is in an emotional state and having the ability to identify which emotion is being experienced, even if it is not a particularly comfortable feeling to admit to, e. g., jealously or envy.
Emotional awareness can then lead to managing one's emotions. This involves dealing with e-motions, like jealousy, resentment, anger, etc. that one may have difficulty accepting, by, per-haps, giving oneself comfort food, or doing nice things when one is feeling low. Many people do this instinctively by buying chocolate or treating themselves; others are able to wrap themselves in positive thoughts or mother themselves. 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 simultaneously empower and 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 the success or good fortune of others, it is better not to suppress any negative emotion that arises. One just has to recognize it is there. And then one just needs to be extra careful when making decisions and not allow one's emotions to cloud the issue, by letting them dictate how one functions with that person. The separation of logic and emotion is not easy when dealing with people.
As Social beings, we need to be able to deal with other people, which brings us to the next item on Goleman' s list, namely : recognizing emotions in other people. This means, in effect, having or developing "social radar", i.e. learning to read the weather systems around individual or groups of people. Obviously, leading on from this is the ability to handle relationships. If we can recognize, understand and then deal with other people's emotions, we can function better both socially and professionally. Not being tangible, emotions are difficult to analyze and quantify, com-pounded by the fact that each area in the list above, does not operate in isolation. Each of us has misread a friend's or a colleague's behavior to us and other people. The classic example is the shy person, categoriz

6. Passage Two Questions61-11 are based on thefollowingpassage．
Acid rain，which is a form of air pollution，currently becomes a subject of great debate because of widespread environmental damage for which it has been blamed．It forms when oxides of sulfur(硫) and nitrogen(氮)combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids，which may then be carried long distances from their source before they drop in the form of rain．The pollution may also take the form of snow or fog or fall down in dry forms．In fact，although the term“acid rain”has been in use for more than a century——it is derived from atmospheric studies that were made in the region of Manchester,England—the more accurate scientific term would be“acid deposition”．The dry form of such deposition is just as damaging to the environment as the liquid form．
The problem of acid rain originated with the Industrial Revolution，and it has been growing ever since．The severity of its effects has long been recognized in local settings，as exemplified by the spells of acid smog in heavily industrialized areas．The widespread destructiveness of acid rain，however,has become evident only in recent decades．One large area that has been studied extensively is northernEurope，where acid rain has eroded structures，injured crops and forests，and threatened life in freshwater lakes．In 1984，for example，environmental reports indicated that almost half of the trees in Germany’s Black Forest had been damaged by acid rain．The northeastem United States and eastern Canada have also been Darticularly affected by this form of pollution．Damage has also been detected in other areas of these countries and other regions of the world．
Industial emissions have been blamed as the maj or cause of acid rain．Because the chemical reactions involved in the production of acid rain in the atmosphere are complex and as yet little understood.industries have tended to challenge such assessments and to stress the need for further studies and because of the cost of pollution reduction，governments have tended to support this attitude.
Studies released by the USA government in the early 1980s，however，strongly indicated industries as the main source of acid rain，in the eastern USA and Canada．
From the first sentence of the passage，we Iearn that_____．
A．acid rain has caused air pollution
B．acid rain has caused widespread environmental damage
C．acid rain has become a much-studied subject
D．acid rain travels in all directions before it rains down
