A.pessimists have high EQ
B.optimists have low EQ
C.it’s impossible to improve a person’s EQ
D.a person having low EQ will have a hard time surviving in life

参考答案D
解析:由第四段第三句“Optimistic people have high EQ and treat obstacles as minor,while the pessimistic people have low EQ and personalizes all setbacks.(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。)”可知,选项A和B都不正确。由第三段第三句“…social science researchers have concluded that it’s possible to improve a person’s EQ(社会科学研究人员总结说提高一个人的情商是有可能的)”可知,选项C不正确。由第四段第一句“According to the social scientists,there is tittle doubt that people without sufficient EQ will have a hard time surviving in life.(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。)”可知,选项D正确。所以,本题选择D。

A. No disciplines have seized on professionalism with as much enthusiasm as the humanities.
You can, Mr Menand points out, became a lawyer in three years and a medical doctor in four. But the regular time it takes to get a doctoral degree in the humanities is nine years.
Not surprisingly, up to half of all doctoral students in English drop out before getting their de-grees.
B. His concern is mainly with the humanities: Literature, languages, philosophy and so on.
These are disciplines that are going out of styl: 22 % of American college graduates now ma-jor in business compared with only 2% in history and 4% in English. However, many lead- ing American universities want their undergraduates to have a grounding in the basic canon of ideas that every educated person should posses. But most find it difficult to agree on what a "general education" should look like. At Harvard, Mr Menand notes, "the great books are read because they have been read"--they form a sort of social glue.
C.Equally unsurprisingly, only about half end up with professorships for which they entered graduate school. There are simply too few posts. This is partly because universities continue to produce ever more PhDs. But fewer students want to study humanities subjects: English  departments awarded more bachelor´ s degrees in 1970 ~1971 than they did 20 years later.
Fewer students requires fewer teachers. So, at the end of a decade of theses-writing, many humanities students leave the profession do do something for which they have not been trained.
D. One reason why it is hard to design and teach such courses is that they can cut across the in- sistence by top American universities that liberal arts educations and professional education should be kept separate, taught in different schools. Many students experience both varieties.
Although more than half of Harvard undergraduates end up in law, medicine or business, fu-ture doctors and lawyers must study a non-specialist liberal-arts degree before embarking on a professional qualification.
E. Besides professionalizing the professions by this separation, top American universities have professionalised the professor. The growth in public money for academic research has speeded the process: federal research grants rose fourfold between 1960 and 1990, but faculty teaching hours fell by half as research took its toll. Professionalism has turned the acquisition of a doc- toral degree into a prerequisite for a successful academic career: as late as 1969 a third of A- merican professors did not possess one. But the key idea behind professionalisation, argues
Mr Menand, is that "the knowledge and skills needed for a particular specialization are trans- missible but not transferable. " So disciplines acquire a monopoly not just over the production of knowledge, but also over the production of the producers of knowledge.
F. The key to reforming higher education, concludes Mr Menand, is to alter the way in which"the producers of knowledge are produced. " Otherwise, academics will continue to think dangerously alike, increasingly detached from the societies which they study, investigate and criticize. "Academic inquiry, at least in some fields, may need to become less exclusionary and more holistic. " Yet quite how that happens, Mr Menand does not say.
G. The subtle and intelligent little book The Marketplace of Ideas: Reform and Resistance in the American University should be read by every student thinking of applying to take a doctoral degree. They may then decide to go elsewhere. For something curious has been happening in American Universities, and Louis Menand, a professor of English at Harvard University,captured it skillfully.
