【正文】 utweigh any financial considerations. Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia midcareer was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a mercial return, and Lee’s is one of them. The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制藥的 ) pany before returning to university as a postdoctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities. Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (轉(zhuǎn)換 ) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.” 56. By “a oneway street” (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means ________. A. university researchers know little about the mercial world B. there is little exchange between industry and academia C. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university D few university professors are willing to do industrial research 57. The word “deterrent” (Line 2, Para. 1) most probably refers to something that ________. A. keeps someone from taking action B. helps to move the traffic C. attracts people’s attention D. brings someone a financial burden 58. What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career? A. Flexible work hours. B. Her research interests C. Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. D. Prospects of academic acplishments. 59. Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________. A. do financially more rewarding work B. raise his status in the academic world C. enrich his experience in medical research D. exploit better intellectual opportunities 60. What contribution can industrial scientists make when they e to teach in a university? A. Increase its graduates’ petitiveness in the job market. B. Develop its students’ potential in research. C. Help it to obtain financial support from industry. D Gear its research towards practical applications. B While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted. Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person’s brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person’s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life. For a long time, researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised. The geicists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person’s EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and munication. Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful. 61. According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not? A. How a person tests his / her brainpower. B. A person’s character. C. How smart a person is. D. A perso
