Being aware of one's own emotions - recognizing and acknowledging feelings as they happen - is at the very heart of Emotional Intelligence. And this awareness encompasses not only moods but also thoughts about those moods. People who are able to monitor their feelings as they arise are less likely to be ruled by them and are thus better able to manage their emotions. Managing emotions does not mean suppressing them; nor does it mean giving free rein to every feeling. Psychologist Daniel Goleman, one of several authors who have popularized the notion of Emotional Intelligence, insisted that the goal is balance and that every feeling has value and significance. As Goleman said, "A life without passion would be a dull wasteland of neutrality, cut off and isolated from the richness of life itself." Thus, we manage our emotions by expressing them in an appropriate manner. Emotions can also be managed by engaging in activities that cheer us up, soothe our hurts, or reassure us when we feel anxious.
Clearly, awareness and management of emotions are not independent. For instance, you might think that individuals who seem to experience their feelings more intensely than others would be less able to manage them. However, a critical component of awareness of emotions is the ability to assign meaning to them - to know why we are experiencing a particular feeling or mood. Psychologists have found that, among individuals who experience intense emotions, individual differences in the ability to assign meaning to those feelings predict differences in the ability to manage them. In other words, if two individuals are intensely angry, the one who is better able to understand why he or she is angry will also be better able to manage the anger. Self-motivation refers to strong emotional self-control, which enables a person to get moving and pursue worthy goals, persist at tasks even when frustrated, and resist the temptation to act on impulse. Resisting impulsive behavior is, according to Goleman, "the root of all emotional self-control."
Of all the attributes of Emotional Intelligence, the ability to postpone immediate gratification and to persist in working toward some greater future gain is most closely related to success - whether one is trying to build a business, get a college degree, or even stay on a diet. One researcher examined whether this trait can predict a child's success in school. The study showed that 4-year-old children who can delay instant gratification in order to advance toward some future goal will be "far superior as students" when they graduate from high school than will 4-year-old who are not able to resist the impulse to satisfy their immediate wishes.
According to paragraph 5, children might be more successful in school if they can resist impulses because they can___________.
A. easily understand new information
B. be more popular with their teachers
C. have more friends at school
D. focus on their work and not get distracted

Dịch câu hỏi: Theo như đoạn 5, những đứa trẻ có thể sẽ thành công hơn ở trường nếu chúng có thể chống cự lại mong muốn tạm thời vì chúng có thể___________
Dịch đáp án.
A. Dễ dàng hiểu được thông tin mới
B. Trở nên nổi bật hơn với giáo viên
C. Có nhiều bạn hơn khi ở trường
D. Tập trung vào công việc và không bị làm xao lãng
Chúng ta có thể tìm thấy đáp án ở đoạn cuối bài. One researcher examined whether this trait can predict a child's success in school. The study showed that 4-year-old children who can delay instant gratification in order to advance toward some future goal will be "far superior as students" when they graduate from high school than will 4-year-old who are not able to resist the impulse to satisfy their immediate wishes.
Một nhà nghiên cứu đã làm thử nghiệm xem rằng đặc điểm này có dự đoán được thành công của những đứa trẻ ở trường hay không. Nghiên cứu chỉ ra rằng những đứa trẻ 4 tuổi mà có thể trì hoãn được những ham muốn ngay tức thì để tập trung cho những mục tiêu ở phía trước thì sau này khi tốt nghiệp sẽ thành những sinh viên xuất sắc hơn là những đứa trẻ 4 tuổi mà không có khả năng kiềm chế những bốc đồng làm thỏa mãn cho những nhu cầu ngay lập tức.
Đọc phần dịch dẫn chứng ta có thể thấy chúng tương đồng với đáp án D - những đứa trẻ biết cách tập trung và không bị xao lãng.
Chú ý cách sử dụng từ đồng nghĩa trong câu hỏi và thông tin trong bài:
be more successful in school= success in school not get distracted = delay instant gratification focus on their work = ...in order to advance toward some future goal.
