Passage 1
Most people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom. But agreement (47) as soon as we attempt to define “wisdom” and consider means of promoting it.
There are several factors that (48) to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take (49) of all the important factors in a problem and to (50) to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and (51) of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are (52) in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to (53) the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say) as modern medic
ine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply (54) and lowering the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more (55) example, which is in everybody's mind at the present time; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested(无利害关系的) desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.
Therefore ,with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments(增强) our capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our (56) for evil ,if our purposes are unwise.

Passage 2
A book like this is never the work of a single author or even a small group of authors; rather there are many people and institutions whose (47) need to be acknowledged. In the first place, we wish to thank the many scholars and sales managers who have (48) so diligently over the last 20 years to move the study of sales management out of the dark ages and into the (49) of marketing thought. We would also like to (50) the special contributions of the Marketing Science Institute, which supported much of the recent research, and especially Steve Greyser, and Diane Schmalensee for their willingness to (51) MSI's energies and resources to the study of sales management before it became a fashionable topic.
Scholars -- even those in marketing -- are sometimes not very customer-oriented, (52) whe
n it comes to writing textbooks. We have made much effort to avoid such a heresy. (53), we offer special thanks to the more than 60 professors who (54) to our questionnaire about their attitudes toward the precious edition of this book. The information they (55) was very helpful in our effort to make the third edition a more useful book for teaching and learning.
We also thank our many students over the years for their comments and suggestions. The book is better because of their insights.

Passage 3
What does a young child's ability not to eat a marshmallow have to do with success in life? Quite a lot, as it turns out. The 4-year-old child who is able to hold out in order to receive a second treat is (47) more self-control that will serve him or her well as an adult.
This ability to control one's (48) is just one part of what is called Emotional intelligence. The children who (49) it will grow up to be better (50) and more successful. Those kids who don't have it are less likely to succeed when it comes to meeting (51) and dealing with life frustrations.
In the past, our concept of intelligence was mainly limited to the kinds of skills that enable one to do well in school. But Emotional Intelligence (52) what it means to be smart by focusing on how the mind (53) feelings
rather than ideas.
There are many ways in which an understanding of Emotional Intelligence can be very handy. It can help parents (54) their children, help solve many social problems and help corporations (55) employees. These ideas are not very controversial, but some other processes of Emotional Intelligence. For example, some scholars are offended at the idea that such a (56) and abstract idea would be reduced to a simple numerical measure in the form of an "EQ".

Passage 4
Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives(47) in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and (48) support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to (49) with major life changes and daily problems. People with (50) social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people (51) themselves against illness. The studies also show the (52) of such support makes poor health more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they (53) us. When we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties, our self-respect is (54). Second, other people often (55) us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles.
Finally, other people may give us instrumental support -- money aid, material resources, and needed services -- that (56) stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.
