Reading 1 The more the emotional memories involving temper, frustration, anxiety, depression, impulse, and
fear pile up in early adolescence, the more the amygdala can “hijack the rest of the brain,” Goleman says,
“by flooding it with strong and inappropriate emotions, causing us to wonder later, ‘Why did I overreact?”’
But if the emotions stored in the brain are those of restraint, self-awareness, self-regulation,
self-motivation, empathy, hope, and optimism, then we become endowed with an “emotional intelligence”
that serves rather than enslave us for the rest of our lives.
【題組】23. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word ‘empathy’ (line 5)?
(A) A desire or willingness to do something
(B) The feeling of happiness, enjoyment or satisfaction
(C) A feeling of sadness that makes people think there is no hope for the future
(D) The ability to understand other people’s feelings and problems
