XI. Translate the following into Chinese. Translation EQ is not the opposite of IQ. Some people are blessed with a lot of both, some with little of either. What the researchers have been trying to understand is how they complement each other; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers are now generally agree that IQ accounts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from class to luck to the neural pathway that have developed in the brain ever millions of years of human evolution. 情商不是智商的对立面。一些人 有幸两者都拥有很多，一些人则 每一样都拥有很少。 研究者们一直试图理解的是它们如何互 补；比如，一个人对付压力的能力如何 影响其集中思想合发挥才智的能力。 研究者们大都同意，在成 功的要素中智商约占 20 ％ 其余则取决于多种因素，从所属的 阶级到运气到在人类进化的几百万 年中已在大脑中形成的神经途径。

In an attempt to resist the rising cost of fuel and fight the pollution choking our cities, many outgoing students have taken to riding bicycles to school. The unfortunate result of this otherwise positive trend is the traffic problems caused by bicycles having to share the road with cars. Unfortunately, traffic accidents involving bicycles are on the increase throughout the country, so this new solution has led to a dilemma. To solve this dilemma, special bike paths have been created on most roads leading to and from college campuses. It is essential that cyclists stay on those paths. It is necessary for the safety of those of you who ride bicycles as well as the motorists that you share the road with. Listening Practice: Passages Obviously, it may be inconvenient to ride in the bike paths at times, but we must insist on it. To enforce the necessity of staying on the paths, there are fines for bicyclists who ride down the middle of the street. The federal fines are currently running at $25 for a first time violation, but if the law is continually violated, the fines will increase by different amounts depending on your local ordinances. The money that is collected from the fines will go towards a fund to help build better bike paths. You may have special bicycle bridges in your neighborhood right now. If not, you can count on seeing them in the future. We are committed to making bicycling a safe alternative to using cars and we appreciate your help in making that goal a reality.
