A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the candy they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.

By the time the children reach high school, something amazing has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular，adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily upset.

Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.

The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would defeat a less resistant (有抵抗力的) person.

Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success，brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character".

EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together, and how one's ability handles stress, for instance, affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%, the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.

While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.

Leonardo da Vinci is often thought of mainly as an artist, with world-famous works like The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But his notebooks, filled with his strange writing, show that his main interests were in engineering and technology.

If his pioneering work on anatomy (解剖学) is also taken into consideration, it is not hard to see why Leonardo is considered to be one of the greatest geniuses of all time.

Born in 1452 to a Florentine lawyer and a local village girl, Leonardo was given only a very basic education. After ten years in the workshop of the artist Verrocchio, he began to work for himself. The work he did shows an unbelievable combination of technical skill and very careful observation.

At the age of thirty, he left his hometown and moved to Milan, where he spent seventeen years working for the Duke of Milan. In fact, his painting was increasingly influenced by his interest in mathematics. During this period, he painted The Last Supper and developed his ideas for chemical weapons (化学武器).

In 1506 he returned to Milan and became increasingly interested in science. He also studied many other animals, comparing their bodies to the human body. From then on, Leonardo spent the rest of his life mainly on his scientific studies.

A. Before long, he returned to his painting.

B. Of course, his place in art history is certain.

C. It also shows his great interest in technology.

D. The notebooks are full of drawings for all kinds of inventions.

E. He began to study human bodies and the movement of the blood.

W. Ian Lipkin is a professor in the Epidemiology Department and directs the Center for Infection and Immunity (CII). His team aims (create) new tools to detect (查明) disease faster and easier to better contain epidemics (传染病).

Lipkin played  key role in containing the SARS virus outbreak by creatinga test using a polymerase (聚合酶) chain (react) method for detection, even in blood samples (样本) with mild infection, which was (quick) than other methods.

Lipkin and his team have since improved the technology to create a test called VirCapSeq-vert, screens a single sample for the presence of hundreds viruses. This tool contains 2 million genetic probes to detect and "pull out" unique DNA sequences (序列) in order to identify the virus type. This platform could (complete) change how first responders react to deadly outbreaks, quicken the process of (identify) diseases, make patients separated and improve (tailor) medical treatments.

Currently, they (make) the technology detect bacterial DNA to provide a full picture of infections.
