Jennifer Freed, a codirector of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, peting, and generally treating one another with no respect. __72__ There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __73__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high selfrespect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear. Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top panies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __74__ ―Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,‖ she says. What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商） ? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __75__ To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a ―sharing circle‖ with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter. A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person. B. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships. C. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic. D. ―One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,‖ Freed says. E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel. F. Good social skills—including empath y—are a kind of ―emotional intelligence‖ that will help you succeed in many areas of life. G.
