ACompassion is a desire within us to help others．With effort, we can translate compassion into action．An experience last weekend showed me this is true．I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly．These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness．But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson．This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机) with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day．I couldn’t help staring at him．I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world．I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so．I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up．If anything, he looked more pitiable．“Charge it to me,” was all he said.What I had been feeling was pity．Pity is soft and safe and easy．Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either．Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself．I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.26．The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ______.A．promised to obey the store rulesB．forgot to take any money with himC．hoped to have the food first and pay laterD．could not afford anything more expensive27．Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?A．kind and lucky B．poor and lonelyC．friendly and helpful D．hurt and disappointed28．The writer acted upon the store rules because ______.A．he wanted to keep his present jobB．he felt no pity for the old gentlemanC．he considered the old man dishonestD．he expected someone else to pay for the old man29．What does the writer learn from his experience?A．Wealth is more important than anything else.B．Helping others is easier said than done.C．Experience is better gained through practice.D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion.BEQ has something to do with your understanding of emotions. It refers to people's awareness, management and expression of emotions. EQ plays an important role in success. If you are not satisfied with your EQ, you can use the following five ways to improve it.Know your own emotions－Recognize and name the emotions you feel; understand why you feel them; distinguish between feelings and actions and tell yourself what you are feeling.Motivate yourself－You need to consider how to control your feelings productively. Practice some emotional self-control and delay satisfaction. A study found that people who delayed satisfaction were more successful later in life －as measured by a lot of factors including happiness, income and job satisfaction －than those who did not do that. You need to find a balance of emotions and motivate yourself to do something about them.Recognize emotions in others －The ability of listening to another person's opinions is a skill that effective managers have. Emotionally intelligent persons are also sensitive to other people's feelings and listen to others well.Manage your emotions－Accept your feelings, but find a balance between oversensitivity and emotional suppression (抑制). When you are angry or unhappy, you need to find a way to get out of the mood. It is healthy to express your emotions, rather than keeping them hidden.Handle relationships－Applying conflict（冲突）management skills instead of ignoring conflicts and being considerate and cooperative are parts of controlling relationship. Communication skills are essential to healthy relationships.30. According to this passage, the writer thinks thatA.
