【解析】 这篇文章讲述了情商所起的重要作用、它与智商的关系以及人们应如何看待。

（1）C推理判断题。

从文章第二段的第二句可推出答案为C。

（2）C正误判断题。

从倒数第二段的第一句"EQisnottheoppositeofIQ."可知EQ和IQ并没有相对立的关系，由此可判断C项正确。

（3）D猜测词义题。

从画线词所在句后面的内容“困难可打倒意志不坚定的人”可猜测出"upbeat"是“乐观的”意思。

（4）C写作意图题。

文章从"makeanexperiment"入手，从而引出作者要谈及的话题EQ和IQ。

（5）B文章结构题。

从文章的最后部分"somefewfear.EQinvitesmisuse"可推出，下文最有可能谈及少数人对EQ持否定态度的例子。
