阅读理解。     I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, "Son, remember:
Slow and steady wins the race. Don"t you think there"s something to learn from the tortoise?" He opened
his eyes wide. "Do you mean next time when I"m entering the 60-metre race I should wish Billy and Tony
and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?"
     I was surprised. "But the tortoise didn"t wish the hare would fall asleep."
     "He must have wished that," Sonny said, "Otherwise how could he be so stupid as to race with the
hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did."
     "He didn"t have such a wish." I insisted. "He won the race by perseverance(毅力), by pushing on
steadily."
     Sonny thought for a while. "That"s a lie," he said. "He won the race because he was lucky. If the hare
hadn"t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you
like, or a hundred times steadier, but he"d never have won the race! That"s for sure."1. The writer argued with his son because _______. A. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares
B. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was stupid
C. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn"t
D. he tried to teach his son the moral lesson of the story but the son refused it2. Sonny believed that the tortoise ________.A. won the race by his effort
B. took a risk by agreeing to the race
C. was not given a fair chance in the race
D. in fact did not win the race3. According to the passage, who do you think learned a lesson?A. The tortoise.
B. The hare.
C. Sonny.
D. Sonny"s father.

完形填空。     Mark Gibson is a former gymnastics coach who once worked with many excellent athletes. He often
tells a wonderful story about a 15-year-old   1   girl, Cindy, whose attitude brought out the best in
everyone.
     Cindy wasn"t a great   2  , but when she was in the gym, everyone complained less, worked harder,
and, not   3 , achieved more. Cindy was such a powerful motivator   4 she could see nothing. When it was
her turn to do the vault (跳马), mother would also  5 alongside her, and tell her how close she was to the
vault. When her mom said, "Vault!", Cindy would reach out and jump,   6 her mother and herself.
     Cindy loved the sport and kept   7 because she and her mom refused to be defeated by her   8  .
Mark called her the most   9  member of the team, not because of her   10  ability, but because of her
heart and because she   11  a standard of perseverance (坚持) and courage that inspired others to get
more out of themselves. Everyone who   12  her work hard to be the best  13   how much more they
could get out of themselves.
     This is leadership---leadership by   14  . And we see this sort of leadership not only in   15   but also
in families and in the workplace. Often the most important members of the team are not the   16  , most
skilled, or most powerful. Instead, their   17   is in their attitude and their ability to inspire and   18   others
with their optimism, enthusiasm, and determination.
     People who know how to get the best out of themselves get the best of others.
There"s no doubt that Cindy"s   19   has a great effect on her teammates. A person"s personality matters
most because it comes from within and does not depend on   20   alone.

     In 1982, I was a young marketing person in a company in Mumbai. I had a very senior colleague
named Paul, who taught me how to   1   marketing effectively and how to deal with life   2   .
     It was one of those   3   days…management, sales calls, planning my travel schedule, booking hotels,
arranging appointments and the   4   was endless. By the end of the day, I was not only exhausted but was
getting    5   . It was at this time that Paul invited me to his house to have a rest.
     We made our way to Paul"s house. Although   6   after a day"s hard work, I was excited to chat with
Paul and   7   his rich experience in marketing. As we entered his house   8   the main door, Paul started
singing his favourite song, I have a dream. I was in no   9   to listen to his song. I only wanted to hear about how he handled  10  sales calls.
     As I leaned over Paul"s shoulder to tell him that, two young girls walked up to Paul and hugged him.
They couldn"t walk steadily, and neither could they talk   11 , but their faces were full of   12   and they
also sang a song: No mummy"s kisses only daddy"s smiles; nobody wants us, and daddy hugs us tonight.
     I was watching what was going on, totally   13 in the beautiful singing, when Paul tapped me on the
shoulder and asked me to sit down.   14   to know, I asked Paul who these girls were. To my   15  , Paul
told me they were his daughters and they were born as "   16  children" (mentally disabled). His wife died
and he was both Mother and Father to them.
     I was moved to tears. In the office, no one knew what Paul was   17   in his personal life. He never
looked for   18   from his friends and colleagues. On the contrary, he always helped us at the office. And
being head of the Department, he always    19   us to move forward in life.
     Paul"s life has been a great   20   to me. If a man can smile through these troubles, nothing can prevent
him from achieving success in work or life.

It was a hot Sunday afternoon and the two of us were heading for the capital city. Suddenly my son gave a shout of pain. He had somehow managed to tangle up (围绕) his small body in his seat belt. I immediately pulled off the road. I could have tried to stop a car, but they were driving by so fast. At that moment, I would have cut the belt if I had something to cut it with. Then I thought that I could retract (缩回) little further in order that it might work. But if that failed, my son"s little stomach would be squeezed even tighter. Just then a man appeared. He wore a white shirt and trousers that I"d seen on Costa Rican cowboys and his clothes so dirty that I thought he might be a beggar or worse. Yet when the stranger reached us, he asked me if I needed help. I pointed to my son and he took a look. He then bent down beside my son, tracing the path of the smooth seat belt with with his rough fingers. After a long moment, he asked my son to bend sideways and a little bit forward. He then put his hands on the belt, controlled it in a way that I still don"t understand now, and my son was free. I thanked him warmly. I also reached into my wallet and gave him a bill, although his calm face suggested that he didn"t care about a reward. He had found a new way to use his roping skills, particularly those he used when freeing animals. And I had experienced the kindness.
