Science Daily (May 1S, 2012) - People who rate themselves as having high emotional intelligence (El) tend to overestimate (高估) their ability to detect deception(欺骗) in others. This is the finding of a paper published in the journal Legal and Criminological Psychology on 18 May 2012. Professor Stephen Porter. director of the Centre for the Advancement of Psychological Science and Law at University of British Columbia Canada along with colleagues Dr. Leanne Brinke and Alysha Baker used a standard questionnaire to measure the EI of 116 participants. These participants were then asked to view 20 videos from around the world of people pleading （祈求） for the safe return of a missing family member. In half the videos the person making the plea was responsible for the missing person's disappearance or murder. The participants were asked to judge whether the pleas were honest or deceptive say how much confidence they had in their judgments, report the clues (线索) they had used to make those judgments and rate their emotional response to each plea. Professor Porter found that higher EI was associated with overconfidence in assessing the sincerity of the pleas and sympathetic feelings towards people in the videos who turned out to be responsible for the disappearance. Although EI, in general, was not associated with being better or worse at telling the difference between truths and lies. people with a higher ability to notice and express emotion (a component of EI) were not so good at spotting when people were telling lies. Professor Porter says: "Taken together, these findings suggest findings features of emotional intelligence and the decision-making processes they lead to may nave the paradoxical (适得其反的) effect of weakening people's ability to detect deception." "These findings are important because El is a well-accepted concept and is used in a variety of fields, including the workplace" 1.Which of the following is true about the study and its findings? A. EI has something to do with telling truths and 1ies. B. The participants were asked to identify liars on the spot. C. The participants had to tell reasons for their judgments. D. Those confident participants all made wrong judgments. 2.According to Professor Porter's finding, people with higher EI A. were actually less confident B. were easy to be cheated for their kindness C. had sympathy for the missing people D. were good at spotting deception 3.What does the underlined word "they" refer to? A. Features of EI B. People with high Ef C. The findings D. The researchers 4.Workplace is specially mentioned in the last paragraph to ______. A. indicate that people with high EI are mostly adults B. indicate that EI is very important in the workplace C. warn employers not to trust employees with high EI D. warn people with high EI of deception in the workplace 5.What is the best title for the passage? A. How to detect deception in our daily life. B. The disadvantages of high emotional intelligence. C. The relationship between one's El and recognition. D. Emotionally intelligent people are less good at spotting liars.

Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care. If we are to solve the nursing shortage. hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel's example . At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient's illness but which also includes everything else that is necessary. The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization. keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to treatment. it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague. Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized (分散的) nursing administration; every unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses; in addition to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit's nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when. Beth Israel's nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. She is also a member of the Medical Executive Committee. which in most hospitals includes only doctors. 1.Which of the following best characterizes the main feature of the nursing system at Beth Israel Hospital? A. The doctor gets more active professional support from the primary nurse. B. Each patient is taken care of by a primary nurse day and night. C.

A new report says African governments are ill prepared to handle the growing number of people over age 65. The population in Africa as in other parts of the world, is getting older. Currently, there are 36 million people on the continent 65 years and above. which is 3.6 percent of the population. up from 3.3 percent 10 years ago. That could rise to 4.5 percent by 2030 and 10 percent by 2050. The African development Bank is raising concerns over the shortage of health insurance and pensions (养老金). The African Development Bank says. "Aging is highly linked with long-term physical and mental disability and a number of long-term chronic (慢性的) conditions." "Africa is not well prepared to care for its aging population right now. And it needs to prepare for this fact." said Professor Mthuli Ncube. the African Development Bank's chief economist. African nations spend far less on healthcare than developed nations do___ about $26per person per year. Not so many countries have well developed medical aid plans for the elderly, whether they are privately provided plans or indeed government plans. If you look at the pension plans, you will find the pension industries are not well developed in some of the countries. Professor Mthuli Ncube said African governments failed to take action on health insurance and pensions because they were busy with economic reforms. Another challenge for Africa is the worsening of informal systems of social protection. That is cash and support from both the extended family and community sources. . The African Development Bank recommends governments help carry out health insurance and pension plans. Ncube said African governments didn't have to handle the health insurance burden alone. "It is not only a must but also an opportunity for private companies to add their bit in this regard", he said. The report also recommends that African governments consider providing ways of free health services. medications and long-term health care facilities for the elderly. 1. From the first paragraph we know the facts except that ____ A. the speed of people aging is becoming quicker B . Africa has the largest aging population C. African governments are not well prepared to deal with the aging population D. the shortage of health insurance and pensions adds to African governments' difficulty in dealing With the aging population 2.Which is not highly linked with the aging according to the passage? A. Long-term physical disability. B. Long-term mental disability. C. Long-term chronic illnesses. D. Long-term shortage of care and love. 3. What got in the way of developing health insurance and pensions in Africa? A. The economic reforms. B. Too many old people. C. The shortage of land. D. The development of the economy. 4.How can the aging problem be solved in Africa according to Ncube? A. African governments should spend as much money on healthcare as developed countries B. African people should save enough money to insure their health. C. African governments should combine with private companies to finish health insurance and pension pains. D.
