37、er complained even when the food would be very scarce. She would sew until the early hours of morning.Things were very bad that particular winter. Then a letter came from where her sewing machine was bought, saying that they would have to pick up her machine the next day unless payments were brought

38、 up to date. I remember when she read the letter I became frightened; I could picture us starving to death and all sorts of things that could come to a childs mind. My mother did not appear to be worried, however, and seemed to be quite calm about the matter. I, on the other hand, cried myself to sl

39、eep, wondering what would become of our family. Mother said God would not disappoint her, that he never had. I couldnt see how God was going to help us keep this old sewing machine. The day when the men came for our machine arrived. There was a knock at the kitchen door. I was frightened as a child

40、would be, for I was sure it was those men who would take away our sewing machine. Instead, a nicely dressed man stood at our door with a darling baby in his arms.He asked my mother if she was Mrs. Hill. When she said she was, he said, "Im in trouble this morning and you have been recommended by

41、 the druggist and grocer down the street as an honest and wonderful woman. My wife was rushed to the hospital this morning, and since we have no relatives here, and I must open my dentist office, I have nowhere to leave my baby. Could you possibly take care of her for a few days?" He continued,

42、 "I will pay you in advance." With this he took out ten dollars and gave it to my mother.Mother said, "Yes, yes, I will be glad to do so," and took the baby from his arms. When the man left, my mother turned to me with tears streaming down a face that looked as though a light was

DA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the candy they se

46、e. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something amazing has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular

47、, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily upset in time of difficulties and inflexible (固守己见的). Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesnt show up on an IQ test. &#

48、160;   The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists concerns. But brain theory cant explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would defeat a less resistant (有抵抗力的) person.  &

49、#160;      Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting peoples success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.     EQ i
