Last weekend we go mountain climbing. Even the heavy rain in the morning could not prevent us going. Set off very early, we went along an extreme narrow road, all in high spirits.
On every side of the road was green fields and some farm houses. We could hear the sound of the rain and our footsteps mixing with our laughter. At noon we reached the top of the mountain. That surprised us most there was the beauty of scenes. After having short rest there and sharing with the food we had brought, we started going down. It rained even harder. We were wet to the skin, and we still sang and laughed happily.

Empathy
Last year,researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,the ability to understand other people,among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time,the researchers said. 1. .
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,competing,and generally treating one another with no respect. 2. .
There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples.Humans are socially related by nature. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human — and having empathy is decisive to those relationships. Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high selfrespect. 3. .Empathy is also an indication of a good leader.In fact,Freed says,many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. 4. “Academics are important.But if you don't have emotional (情感的) 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. 5. .
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. Today,people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
B. “One doesn't develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.
C. Humans learn by example and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.
D. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else — both what they think and how they feel.
E. Good social skills, including empathy, are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.
F. Besides,empathy can be a cure for loneliness,sadness,anxiety,and fear.
G. Everyone is different,and levels of empathy differ from person to person.
