Though were all born with SQ, most of us dont even realize that we have it. Fortunately, you dont have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here

26、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 t

27、o 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 th

28、e 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-e

29、nded questions, such as What am I feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading? But dont expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural form of e-mail.

30、r that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective(角度) I never considered before.” Trust Your Spirit.

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 SQ56.

If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投资)it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time shes 65,she

35、 would have $980,983!Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying

36、 two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.Teach patience.

52、面短文，并根据要求完成文章后的题目。(请将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。) Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing whether there will be opportunities for promotion (晋升), happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school lea

53、vers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates leave the university with the dream of looking for jobs that offer a

54、salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and the limits of their own abilities. The cause behind all this confusion is that there has never been a proper vocational（职业的） guidance in our educational institutions. Nearly all the graduates feel their

55、 way in the dark. Their chief concern is the salary. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them.
