People can get emotional about
immigration. Bill O’Reilly, a talk-show host, devoted a recent segment to the
story of an illegal alien who got drunk and accidentally killed two attractive
white girls with his car. If only he had been deported for previous
misdemeanours, Mr. O’Reilly raged, those girls would still be alive.
Another talk-show host, Geraldo Rivera, during an on-air shout-joust(争吵) with
Mr. O’ Reilly, denounced his demagogic choice of story-angle as" a
sin". President George Bush tried again this week to bring a more rational tone to the debate. He urged the new Democratic Congress to revive the immigration reforms that the old Republican Congress killed last year. His proposal was broadly the same as before. He said he wanted to make it harder to enter America illegally, but easier to do so legally, and to offer A. Making it harder for immigrants to enter America both legally and illegally. B. Carrying out substantial fine for illegals before they can become legal. C. Setting up more Border Patrol agents by the end of this year. D.

At least, that is the stereotype peddled by a thousand women’s magazines. And a study at the University of Melbourne, in Australia, confirms that men are, indeed, less sensitive to emotion than women, with one important and suggestive exception. Men are acutely sensitive to the anger of other men.
Mark Williams and Jason Mattingley looked at the way a person’s sex affects his or her response to emotionally charged facial expressions. People from all cultures agree on what six basic expressions of emotion look like. Whether the face before you is expressing anger, disgust, fear, joy, sadness or surprise seems to be recognized universally — which suggests that the expressions involved are innate, rather than learned. Dr. Williams and Dr. Mattingley showed the participants in their study photographs of these emotional expressions in mixed sets of either four or eight.

Our understanding of the Emotional System today is still in the Dark Ages. (46) This has its analogy to the time when people’ s understanding of our Solar System was based upon the belief that the Sun revolved around the Earth, as it certainly appeared that way—however, just the reverse was true. The problem was, as long as we believed the Sun went around the Earth, we were limited as to how far we could go in the Solar System. [单项选择]Emotional intelligence skills are synergistic (起协同作用) with cognitive ones: Top performers have both. The more complex the job, the more emotional intelligence matters - if only because a deficiency in these abilities can hinder the use of whatever technical expertise or intellect a person may have. Take, for example, an executive who had just been brought in to run a $65 million, family owned business, the first president from outside the family.
A researcher, using an interview method to assess the executive’s ability to handle cognitive complexity, determined his capacity was the very highest - a "level six," someone smart enough, theoretically, to be CEO of a global firm or head of a country. But during that interview the conversation turned to why he had to leave his previous job: He had been fired because he had failed to confront subordinates and hold them responsible for their. poor performance. "It was still an emotional trigger for him," the researcher told me. "His A. the relationship between emotional intelligence and cognitive competence B. the differences between emotional competence and cognitive capacity C. the importance of emotional intelligence skills in the making of an executive D. the assessment of executives’ ability to handle cognitive complexity [简答题]After nearly a year of emotional arguments in Congress but no new federal laws, the national debate over the future of human cloning has shifted to the states. Six states have already banned cloning in one form or another, and this year alone 38 anti-cloning measures were introduced in 22 states.
The resulting patchwork of laws, people on all sides of the issue say, complicates a nationwide picture already clouded by scientific and ethical questions over whether and how to restrict cloning or to ban it altogether. Since 1997, when scientists announced the birth of Dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal, the specter of cloned babies, infants that are in essence genetic carbon copies of adults, has loomed large in the public psyche and in the minds of lawmakers. Today, there is widespread agreement that cloning for reproduction is unsafe and should be banned. Now, the debate has shifted away from the ethics of baby-making and toward the morality of cloning embryos 我来回答: 提交
