单选题根据下面资料，回答题
According to Peter Salovey, Yale psychologist and author of the term EQ, IQ gets you hired and EQ gets you promoted.
Salovey tells of a simple test. Some four-year-old kids were invited into a room and were giv-en the following instruction: "You can have this marshmallow right now; or if you wait, you can have two marshmallows when I get back. " Then, the researcher left. Some kids grabbed for the treat as soon as the researcher was out the door, while others waited for the researcher to return. By the time the kids reached high school, significant differences appeared between the two groups.
The kids who held out for two marshmallows were better adjusted, more popular, more adventur-ous, more confident, and more dependable than kids in the quick gratification group. The latter group was also more likely to be lonely, more easily frustrated, more stubborn, more likely to buckle under stress, and more likely to shy away from challenges. When both groups took scholas-tic aptitude tests, the "hold out group" walloped the "quick gratification group" by 210 points (the test scores range from a minimum of 200 points to a maximum of 800, with an average for all students of 500 points).
Researchers have been discussing whether it´ s possible to raise a person´ s IQ. Geneticists say No,while social scientists say Yes. But while brain power researchers continue the debate, social science re-searchers have concluded that it´ s possible to improve a person´ s EQ, and in particular, a person´s "people skills, " such as empathy, graciousness, and the ability to "read" a social situation.
According to the social scientists, there is little doubt that people without sufficient EQ will have a hard time surviving in life. EQ is perhaps best observed in people described as either pessi-mists or optimists. Optimistic people have high EQ and treat obstacles as minor, while the pessi-mistic people have low EQ and personalizes all setbacks. In social research circles, EQ denotes one´ s ability to survive, and it´ s here that there may be an overlap between EQ, IQ, genetics and environment. As to that, I am reminded of the words of Darwin, "The biggest, the smartest, and the strongest are not the survivors. Rather, the survivors are the most adaptable. " Those of us who survive and thrive in this complex world are not only the most adaptable, but also the most op-timistic and the most likely to have a high EQ.
EQ gets you promoted，not because__________．

A．a person with high EQ is better adjusted
B．a person with high EQ is more stubborn
C．a person with high EQ is more confident
D．A person with high EQ is more popular

参考答案B

解析:参考译文
耶鲁大学心理学家和情商这个词的创造者彼得·沙洛维曾说，智商使你应聘成功，情商使你得到晋升。
沙洛维讲述了一个简单的测试。邀请一些4岁的孩子进入一个房间并给予他们下列指令：“你可以现在吃这个棉花糖，或者如果你等我回来，你可以有两个棉花糖。”然后，研究人员离开。研究人员刚出门，一些孩子就抓住了那个糖，另一些孩子则等到研究人员回来。等孩子们上高中时，这两组之间出现了重大差别。那些坚持住从而得到两个棉花糖的孩子比那些想要快速满足的孩子更能适应环境、更受欢迎、更具冒险精神、更自信，也更独立。另外，后一组的孩子还更容易感到孤独、更容易受挫、更固执、更容易屈服于压力，也更容易躲避挑战。两组参加学术能力测验时，“坚持住的那一组”彻底击败了“快速满意组”，完胜他们210分(测验分数最少200分，最多800分，学生平均500分)。
研究人员一直在讨论是否有可能提高一个人的智商。遗传学家说不可能，社会学家却说可能。当脑力研究人员继续争辩时，社会科学研究人员总结说提高一个人的情商是有可能的，特别是提高一个人的“人际交往能力”，比如同情、礼貌和“读”社会情况的能力。
社会学家认为，毫无疑问，没有足够的情商的人生活会很艰难。情商在悲观主义者和乐观主义者身上体现得最明显。乐观的人有高情商并把挫折看得很小，而悲观的人情商很低，并容易放大各种挫折。在社会研究界，情商指的是一个人的生存的能力，在这方面，它可能和智商、遗传学和环境有所重叠。至于这点，我想起了达尔文的话来，“最大的、最聪明的和最强的并不是幸存者。相反，幸存者是最适应的。”在这个复杂的世界上生存并过得很好的人不仅是适应力最强的，也是最乐观、最有可能具有较高情商的。
答案及解析
本题要求考生在通读第二段的基础上进行判断。由第二段的第六句和第七句“The kids who held out for two marshmal-lows were better adjusted，more popular，more advenmrous，more confident．．．was also more likely to be lonely，more easily frustra-ted，more stubbom…(那些坚持住从而得到两个棉花糖的孩子比那些想要快速满足的孩子更能适应环境、更受欢迎、更具冒险精神、更自信…更容易感到孤独、更容易受挫、更固执…)”可知，“更固执”不是高情商的人的特点。所以，本题选择B。
