Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer

to each of the questions

Being aware of one's own emotions - recognizing and acknowledging feelings as they happen - is at the veryheart of Emotional Intelligence And this awareness encompasses not only moods but also thoughts about thosemoods People who are able to monitor their feelings as they arise are less likely to be ruled by them and are thusbetter able to manage their emotions

Managing emotions does not mean suppressing them; nor does it mean giving free rein to every feeling.Psychologist Daniel Goleman, one of several authors who have popularized the notion of Emotional Intelligence,insisted that the goal is balance and that every feeling has value and significance As Goleman said, "A life withoutpassion would be a dull wasteland of neutrality, cut off and isolated from the richness of life itself." Thus, wemanage our emotions by expressing them in an appropriate manner Emotions can also be managed by engaging in

activities that cheer us up, soothe our hurts, or reassure us when we feel anxious.

Clearly, awareness and management of emotions are not independent For instance, you might think thatindividuals who seem to experience their feelings more intensely than others would be less able to manage them

However, a critical component of awareness of emotions is the ability to assign meaning to them - to know why we

are experiencing a particular feeling or mood Psychologists have found that, among individuals who experienceintense emotions, individual differences in the ability to assign meaning to those feelings predict differences in the

ability to manage them In other words, if two individuals are intensely angry, the one who is better able to

understand why he or she is angry will also be better able to manage the anger

Self-motivation refers to strong emotional self-control, which enables a person to get moving and pursue worthy

goals, persist at tasks even when frustrated, and resist the temptation to act on impulse Resisting impulsive behavior

is, according to Goleman, "the root of all emotional self-control."

Of all the attributes of Emotional Intelligence, the ability to postpone immediate gratification and to persist inworking toward some greater future gain is most closely related to success - whether one is trying to build abusiness, get a college degree, or even stay on a diet One researcher examined whether this trait can predict a child'ssuccess in school The study showed that 4-year-old children who can delay instant gratification in order to advancetoward some future goal will be "far superior as students" when they graduate from high school than will 4-year-oldswho are not able to resist the impulse to satisfy their immediate wishes

Question 14 Which of the following can we infer from paragraph 1?

A. Some people can understand their feelings better than others

B If people pay attention to their feelings, they can control their emotions better.

C. People who can manage their emotions will be controlled by them
