【小题1】 your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey, who invented the term EQ, gives the following 【小题2】(describe): at work, it is EQ that gets you 【小题3】(promote). 【小题4】(support) by his research, Professor Salovey suggests that when 【小题5】(predict) someone's future success, their character, as measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.

Nowadays, vegetarian(素食主义的)eating is becoming more popular. Although it does have a good reputation for 【小题1】(benefit)our health, recent news has focused on what could be bad about vegetarian diets, 【小题2】(include)stroke risk, harm to brain health, hair loss and depression.

British researchers 【小题3】(follow)more than 48,000 men and women with no history of heart disease or stroke for about 18 years. Vegetarians had a 20% 【小题4】(high)rate of stroke than meat eaters. Another expert wrote that the trend towards vegetarian diets may lead to a choline(胆碱)crisis, Choline is a nutrient(营养物)【小题5】 is important for brain health and other functions. It can 【小题6】(find)in meat, and our body can’t make all that humans need.

So, can giving up meat lead to hair loss? A recent report found that a severe lack of protein, among other diet shortcomings, can lead to it. That’s 【小题7】 meat contains iron, vitamin B, and zinc, which are all important for hair 【小题8】(grow).

Can vegetarian and vegan diets affect our mood? Research on this is mixed. Some studies have found that going meatless 【小题9】(improve)mood, but others have found 【小题10】 opposite. In one study of 400 new mothers, 80 of them suffered from postpartum(产后的)depression. A vegetarian diet was one factor that seemed to make it more likely to be depressed.

The last few years have seen environmental disasters 【小题1】 a grand scale, and experts are predicting far worse to come. Jin Li reports on our Earth’s changeable weather patterns.

So why is nature beginning to turn on us? One answer is overpopulation. The population of the world 【小题2】 (grow) at the disturbing rate of 10,000 people an hour, nearly 90 million a year, with most of the growth in the 【小题3】 (develop) world. People in agricultural areas, without any means to earn their living, move to the cities, and then construct shabby homes from 【小题4】 materials they can find on poor clay soil. These homes, seldom made of bricks, can 【小题5】 (easy) fall down in earthquakes or slip and slide downhill in landslides, especially in mountainous areas.On top of that adds global warming. This has mainly been caused by the huge amounts of carbon dioxide 【小题6】 (produce) by factories and vehicles, and the destruction of the world’s forests. As a result, a 【小题7】 (hot) ocean causes more powerful winds. Atlantic hurricanes—their howling winds with speeds of over 300 kilometres 【小题8】 hour—are 40% stronger now than they were 30 years ago.

Most disaster experts believe there is the potential 【小题9】 things could get a lot worse. Professor Hou Ming, of Beijing University 【小题10】 (study) volcanoes and he warns that the world has not seen the worst nature can do.
