听力原文：W: Professor Wilson, can you spare me a few minutes？

M: That's OK. Actually, I'm on my way to an appointment with students, so please make this quick.

W: My name is Maria Taylor, and I'm in your Psychology class at 2:00.

M: Oh, yes. I recall now. You always ask good questions about the lectures. What can I do for you now？

W: You say in your lecture last week that IQ changes little from childhood, but the skills of emotional intelligence can be learned at any age.

M: Right, it's not easy, however. You know, growing your emotional intelligence takes practice and commitment and improving your emotional intelligence takes time, say, several months.

W: Why do you say improving an emotional intelligence takes months rather than days？

M: Well, you know, the emotional centers of the brain are involved.

W: The emotional centers of the brain？

M: Yes. The thinking brain learns technical skills and purely cognitive abilities. It gains knowledge very quickly, but the emotional brain does not.

W: Why？

M: Because to master a new behavior, the emotional centers need repetition and practice.

W: So it takes time.

M: Yes. Improving your emotional intelligence, then, is similar to changing your habits. You have to change your old habits and replace them with the new ones.

W: Oh, I see. And another question I want to ask you is. can we say emo tional intelligence is the opposite of IQ？

M: No. You know some people are blessed with a lot of both while some with little of either. What we are doing now is trying to find out how they complement each other.
