精神智商高往往可以使人輕松應(yīng)付生活中的煩擾。以下幾點(diǎn)教你如何使自己的精神智商更高。
Our spiritual intelligence quotient helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.
Spiritual intelligence is the capacity to sense, understand and tap into （發(fā)掘） the highest part of ourselves, of others and of the world around us. This source of inner calmness may be our best defense against the difficulties that trouble us every day.
While we’re all born with SQ, most of us aren’t even aware that we have it. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:
Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins in solitude （獨(dú)處） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to turn down the volume in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door to your bedroom between the others, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.
Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. It puts the troubles of daily living into perspective. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.
Find An Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.
Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (經(jīng)文). Others ask open-ended (無(wú)確定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?” But don’t expect an answer to arrive via some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective you never considered before.
Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut （本能的） feelings to warn us of danger, spiritual intelligence usually nudges （漸漸推動(dòng)） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.
True (T) or False (F):
1. Admiring flowers in bloom outdoors can help us set our spirit free.
2. Asking ourselves questions and trying to answer them as soon as possible is of great help.
3. We can develop our SQ by shutting ourselves indoors, doing nothing at all a whole day.

【第二篇：The study of iceman】
Daggers! Arrows! A fight to the death! Some scientists believe that Europe’s famous “Iceman” died in battle. The Iceman, called ?tzi, is one of the world’s oldest and best-preserved mummies.(保存最完好的木乃伊)
Two hikers(旅行者) discovered the Iceman’s body on the border of Italy and Austria(奧地利) in 1991. Ever since, (從此)scientists have debated the cause of his death. Recently, scientists working in Australia came up with a new theory.
Like detectives at a crime scene, the scientists examined the clues.(線(xiàn)索) They looked at the blood on the Iceman’s clothes and the wounds(傷) on his body. Using this evidence, they concluded(斷定) that the Iceman died from injuries(傷) to his back and hand.
The Iceman, the scientists believe, probably ran into deadly conflicts with at least two other hunters. The scientists say that blood on the Iceman’s weapons (武器)show that he shot two people with his arrow. His enemies returned fire, (還擊)hitting him in the back with an arrow. They also cut him with a knife on his hands, rib cage,(胸腔) and wrists.(手腕)
How did the scientists get all this information from a 5,000-year-old body? Since the Iceman died in a cold climate, his body froze.(凍住了) A frozen body remains preserved for hundreds, even thousands of years. As a result, scientists can see how the Iceman’s body looked when he died. The cut on the Iceman’s thumb(拇指), for example, did not have a scar.(疤) This means that the cuts did not heal (愈合)before his death.
Not all scientists agree with the battle theory, however. Some say that the Iceman may have been killed in a ritual sacrifice.(不是所有科學(xué)家都同意這種戰(zhàn)死論, 有人說(shuō)那個(gè)冰人是在一場(chǎng)祭祀活動(dòng)中被當(dāng)成祭品給殺掉了)
Help:
dagger n.短劍，匕首
arrow n.劍
run into 陷入
conflict n.斗爭(zhēng)，沖突
ritual adj. 典禮的, (宗教)儀式的
sacrifice n. 犧牲, 獻(xiàn)身, 祭品, 供奉
【第三篇：UN Year of Deserts】
沙漠化是造成全球環(huán)境惡化嚴(yán)重的因素之一。沙漠化會(huì)引起食物不安全、饑荒和貧窮，從而導(dǎo)致社會(huì)、經(jīng)濟(jì)和政治的緊張。正是由于沙漠化的緊迫感，聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)決定宣布2006年為國(guó)際沙漠與沙漠化年。
(Words: about 270; Time: 3.5 minutes)
The United Nations, or UN, has named 2006 as the International Year of Deserts. The UN wants to highlight the beauty and wonders of deserts throughout the world.
But the United Nations also wants to call attention to the dangers the world faces as more and more land becomes desert. Large amounts of land that could once grow crops have become desert. Food can no longer be grown in those areas. More land is lost to desert each year.
Special habitats
Deserts are special environments, home to many different animals and plants. For thousands of years, deserts have also been home to many civilizations.
Deserts are fragile environments. The UN is hoping to protect the older deserts as well as stop new deserts from forming.
The dangers
Experts believe that one-third of the earth’s land surface is being threatened by the loss of cropland. When the land dries up and becomes desert, people cannot grow enough to eat. Experts believe this danger will affect about 1 billion people.
Africa has been especially harmed by growing deserts. Experts believe about two-thirds of Africa’s people are threatened by this loss of cropland.
Causes
People and climate change are causing much of the land to turn to desert. People cutting down too many trees and grazing too many cattle and other livestock have harmed the land.
Also, as more cropland is lost each year, more and more people try to live for the remaining good land. This speeds up the harm to the land.
Scientists are using pictures taken from space to track the growing deserts. They are working to heal the damaged environment.
Help：
fragile adj. easily broken or damaged 易損的
Try this:
It is ______ and ______ that are causing much of the land to become desert. More and more people ______ the remaining good land is also a reason for the desertification.
Key: people; climate change; leaving for
【第四篇：You can do anything】
媽媽的嚴(yán)格要求使我能夠像正常人一樣,不懼怕任何事情。
I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow. Then he gave her some advice: “Don’t treat her any differently from the other girls. Demand more.” And she did!
My mother had to work to support our family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the kitchen, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I only have one hand.”
“You go back to peel these potatoes, and don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
Of course I could peel potatoes ― with my good hand, while holding them down with the other arm. There was always a way, and Mom knew it. “If you try hard enough,” she’d say, “you can do anything.”
Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids laughed. I went home crying. After work the next afternoon, Mom took me back to the school playground.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I practiced, and she praised me when I made progress. I’ll never forget the next time when I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.
It was the way with everything. When I fear I can’t handle things, I see Mom’s smile. She had the heart to face anything. And she taught me I could, too.
【第五篇：You don’t love me】
“你不愛(ài)我！”這樣的話(huà)你是否對(duì)你的父母說(shuō)過(guò)，或者在心里暗暗地恨自己的父母？讀一讀下面的文章，你就會(huì)明白父母的良苦用心。
“You don’t love me!”
How many times have your kids laid that one on you?
And how many times have you, as a parent, resisted the urge to tell them how much?
Someday, when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a mother, I’ll tell them.
I loved you enough to bug (使煩惱) you about where you were going, with whom, and what time you would get home.
I loved you enough to insist you buy a bike with your own money that we could afford and you couldn’t.
I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover your handpicked (精心挑選的) friend was a creep (討厭的人).
I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your bedroom, a job that would have taken me fifteen minutes.
I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, disgust and tears in my eyes.
I loved you enough not to make excuses for your lack of respect or your bad manners.
I loved you enough to admit that I was wrong and asked your forgiveness.
I loved you enough to ignore “what every other mother” did or said.
I loved you enough to let you stumble, fall, hurt and fail.
I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your own actions, at six, ten, or sixteen.
I loved you enough to shove you off my lap, let go of your hand, be mute to your pleas（懇求）... so that you had to stand alone.
I loved you enough to accept you for what you are, not what I wanted you to be.
But most of all, I loved you enough to say no when you hated me for it. That was the hardest part of all.
