M: Caroline, I'm so sorry to hear that you broke up with Patrick.
W: Yeah, I am sad but you know what, I am also a little relieved.
M: Really? Why is that?
W: Whenever Patrick and I were together, it was like an emotional roller-coaster.
M: Oh I know what you mean. I've been in plenty of relationships like that too.
W: I mean one day we'd be on cloud nine, and life couldn't get any better, then the very next day, he'd be so depressed and frustrated that he brought me down too.
M: Absolutely, emotions can be very contagious, especially when you are around someone all the time like that.
W: It was just so tiring, you wouldn't think it. But going from one emotional extreme to the other in so short a time can be exhausting and we do these reversals several times a week.
M: Mm, that's not good. I've heard that it can even be dangerous for your health.
W: I'm sure. So yeah I am actually relieved that Patrick and I are through. Now I can get off the roller-coaster and stay on level ground for a while.

听力文本：
Do you sometimes feel depressed for no particular reason? Are you often without energy or interest in what's happening around you? If so, you might not be getting enough exercise. Research has shown a direct connection between a healthy life style and a healthy mental outlook on life. Before you visit your doctor or start taking medicine, try something as simple as going outside for a walk, get some fresh air, get your blood moving and try a change in scenery. Staying indoors in a darkened room or constantly surrounded by the artificial light of the television has been proven to have negative effects. People who don't get enough exercise are often easily depressed, frustrated or saddened. They find it more difficult to cheer up and be happy for themselves and others. Don't let this happen to you. Go for a walk. Go to the gym. Sit outside and relax with natural sunlight and fresh air. You'll be happy if you do and happiness is where you want to be.

Women score higher than men on nearly all emotional intelligence competencies, except emotional self-control, where no gender differences are observed, according to new research by the Hay Group division of global people and organizational advisory firm Korn Ferry.
Data from 55,000 professionals across 90 countries and all levels of management, collected between 2011 and 2015 by using the Emotional and Social Competency Inventory – developed by Richard E Boyatzis, Daniel Goleman and Hay Group – found that women more effectively employ the emotional and social competencies correlated with effective leadership and management than men. The greatest difference between the sexes can be seen in emotional self-awareness, where women are 86 per cent more likely than men to be seen as using the competency consistently, and 18.4 per cent demonstrate it compared to just 9.9 per cent of men. Also, women are 45 per cent more likely than men to be seen as demonstrating empathy consistently. The smallest margin of difference is seen in positive outlook – women are only nine per cent more likely to exhibit this consistently than men.
Q12: In which of the following emotional intelligence competencies do the two sexes have the greatest difference?
Q13: At what percentage are women more likely to demonstrate their positive outlook than men?
Q14: What does the report mainly talk about?
