14、onathan Paul Green.“I also think the idea of using frozen water from a river in northern Sweden to create an ocean with shells，fish，and corals is exciting.”The nearby“Haven”suite is a“magical gate of ice”guarded by two large animals.“We are inspired by the meeting between people and want to create a

15、n experience that invites curiosity and creativity，”says artist Jonas Johansson.“It feels like a dream to get to work with ice that allows our love for light，shine，and reflection to wander freely from thought to creation.”Regardless of whether visitors select the carved suites or the basic ice rooms

When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Deliv

20、ering this electrifying(震撼性的) message required emotional intelligencethe ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. If we can teach our children t

21、o manage emotions, the argument goes, well have less bullying and more cooperation. If we can cultivate emotional intelligence among leaders and doctors, well have more caring workplaces and more compassionate healthcare.Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscur

22、ed (掩蓋)a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become better at manipulating (把持) others. When youre good at controlling your own emotions, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their

23、 own best interests.Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. In a research led by University of professor Jochen Menges, when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion. the audience was less likely to scrutinize (細(xì)察) the message and remembered of

24、 the content. Ironically(諷刺的是) audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it.The authors call this the awestruck effect, but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitlers persuasive impact came from his abilit

If their values are out of step with our own. the results c

26、an be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have self-serving motives (動(dòng)機(jī)), emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for manipulating others. In a study led by the University of Toronto psychologist Stephane Cote, university employees filled out a survey about their Machiavellian(不擇手段的)

27、 tendencies, and took a test measuring their knowledge about effective strategies for managing emotions. Then, Cotes team assessed how often the employees deliberately undermined (逐漸削弱) their colleagues. The employees involved in the most harmful behaviors were Machiavellians with high emotional int

They used their emotional skills to lower the dignity of their peers for personal gain.Shining a light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led University College London professor Martin Kilduff. According to these experts, emotional intelligence h

30、orridors where power and influence are traded.”O(jiān)f course, people arent always using emotional intelligence for nefarious ends. More often than not, emotional skills are simply instrumental tools for goal accomplishment. A research team discovered that founder Anita Roddick used emotional intelligenc

As Roddick explained, Whenever particular project we always tried to break their hearts we wanted to persuade our staff to support a particular project we always tried to break their hearts.”There is growing recognition that emotional intelligence-li

32、ke any skill-can be used for good or evil. So if were going to teach emotional intelligence in schools and develop it at work, we need to consider the values that go along with it and where its actually useful.1、Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr?ATo honor the great leader for his co

Start to slack off (懈怠), and AI could talk to your boss.One company

38、 offering such services is London-based start-up Status Today. Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data, including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card. From this, it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance

39、. The idea is to spot when someone might become a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns. “All of this gives us fingerprint of a user, so if we think the fingerprint doesnt match, we raise a warning”, says Mircea Dumitrescu, the companys chief technology offi

40、cer.The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach (漏洞), like opening malware (惡意軟件).“Were not monitoring if your computer has a virus.” says Dumitrescu. “Were monitoring human behaviors.”But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone, and

41、the AI can also be used to track employee productivity. “It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to old-fashioned workplace surveillance (監(jiān)視),” says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group. “You have a right to privacy an

42、d you shouldnt be expected to give that up at work.”Exactly how companies use the system will be up to them, but its hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees shoulders. “It will bother people, and that could be counterproductive if it affects their behavior,” says Paul Be

46、on, the first thing I did was to hit the streets. Dakar, the capital, leans out into warm Atlantic wind. It has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it a favorite destination.Not far from the city center, it also has one of Africas biggest slums(貧民區(qū))and its share of beggars. Street kids would tail me, b

47、egging. During a previous trip to Senegal, I was once cheated by a man. Id wondered for years whether to give money to beggars in West Africa.Near my apartment, I passed a group of young men in wheelchairs whom I took to be beggars. Head down, I walked by them quickly. As the months went by, Id ofte

48、n come across them. Id often see them at an outdoor basketball court near my office. Theyd sit on the ground with their chairs upside down, tightening and adjusting wheels, waiting until the other guys left so they could play.Id stay and watch them warm up. They played with speed, rolling down the c

49、ourt as fast as I could run. A few weeks later I introduced myself to them with the help of Mafall, who was one of the guys and could speak a little French. I started spending more time with them and eventually became something like an assistant coach.The players quickly grew on me. I started referr

50、ing to them as “my guys” to my colleagues. It was the most fun Id had since I got to Dakar. Life on the street had made my players strong and they didnt back down easily. I was proud of them.Toward the end of the season, Mafall invited me to where he livedfound many of the players there, with their

51、wives and children. I learned that most of them were born with disabilities. As Mafall and I chatted, I knew something had changed. They were no longer beggars. They were basketball players, my guys, and my friends.1、It can be inferred from the text that the disabled young men _.Aused to beg in the

55、 school or college ceremonies,but the move from junior to senior high school is still an important occasion that can be celebrated in many ways.The decision whether students will wear caps and gowns（禮服）for middle school graduation is usually up to the individual school.Some feel that this is the per

56、fect way to commemorate the special occasion,while others feel the cap and gown is unnecessary for a junior high ceremony.For those schools that choose not to use caps and gowns,it is typically suggested that students wear dress clothes for the occasion.Students may also be encouraged to dress for g

57、raduation in a uniform manner,such as white shirts and black pants or skirts,or educators may suggest dressing in the school colors.Schools that choose to have students wear academic regalia（制服）for the ceremony may choose to purchase gowns in a variety of sizes from a store such as Graduate Affairs,

58、and then let students borrow them,and reuse them each year.Caps may be purchased by a Parent-Teacher Organization or by the individual graduates.Parents may choose to host open house or party when their child graduates from middle school.This is typically an informal affair,such as a barbeque or poo

59、l party,or simply appetizers or cake to honor the graduate.Simple backyard games such as volleyball,bocce ball,and Frisbee are a fun way to entertain young teens,tweens,and well-wishers.Other party games and a band might also be considerations for a large or more complicated gathering.Whether simple
