how do they operate?
Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things.Even if this is possible, it is shortterm, and
tends to produce unexpected and unwanted results.If you order someone to do something against their
will, they may do it because they feel they have to, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long
term.They will also experience fear.
Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best.
If they connect you with th
is emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or
partner unable to perform effectively.Fear does no good to leadership.
The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use
of emotion.We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can
employ them at the emotional level, so they will become fully devoted to the projects and provide some
of their own motivation.Today"s work place is all about relationships.
Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they"re recognized and valued as a human
being as well as a worker.Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like.Leaders understand
the way things work.They know the pay check is not the single most important factor in the work life of
most people.
The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional
intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others.Developing your
emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationship with
people around you, which is the key to
the leadership skills.1. The writer thinks that it is not________for us to connect leadership with strength and power.
A. possible
B. necessary
C. easy
D. effective
2. People may NOT be working hard when________.
A. they"re regarded as human beings
B. they like th
eir leadersC. money is taken as the most important
D. leaders understand the way things work
3. From the passage, we can conclude that________is the key to making a good leader.
A. developing one"s emotional intelligence
B. in fluencing others in one"s own way
C. producing some unexpected results
D. having confidence in one"s ability

seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those
seeds grow.
The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice but not
a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing yourselfesteem (自尊). Your level of selfesteem is
always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life.
Peoplewith low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They
are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible
for whatever happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful
people realize that they are respo
nsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect.
We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. Thoughts and beliefs cause
everything. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. One
generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success
depends upon our level of confidence. We are responsible for either reinforcing
good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
If you associate with positivethinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the
contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds
that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial,physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are
responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it,you are on the road to success.
B. working hard will lead to success
C. they fail only because of bad luck
D. they don"t make efforts to succeed
B. developing confidence is the key to future success
C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action
B. the conclusion of the argument
C. an introduction to another topic
D. a comparison between two views
B. The secrets of success
C. Develop our confidence
D. How to achieve success
eight.That may not be too surprising to anyone who has kids.
Humans are born with a sense of fairness that most other animals seem not to share, but it"s not been
clear exactly when this concept starts to develop.
Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues conducted a series of tests to measure just how much children care
about equality at different ages.In three different versions of a game, children were asked to choose
between two ways of sharing a number of sweets with themselves and an unfamiliar partner.They could
choose, for example, between one for me and one for you, or j
ust having one for themselves.At the age of three, children were "almost completely selfish", says Zhao.
They refused to give sweets away even if it made no difference to themselves.But by the age of eight,
children generally preferred the fair option, sharing a prize equally rather than keeping it all to themselves.
Several other factors influenced how fair the children were.The team found that children without
brothers or sisters were 28% mo
re likely to share than children with brothers or sisters.On the otherhand, the youngest children in a family were 17% less willing to share than children who had only
younger brother or sister.
In addition, if children knew that their partner was from the same playgroup or school, they were
more concerned about being fair.This suggests that being nice to people you know is something that
develops a sense of equality.
1. The main idea of the first paragraph is________.
A. parents know clearly when their kids are more willing to share
B. the kids" willingness of sharing is learne
d from their familyC. the older the kids are, the more selfish they will become
D. kids become more generous when they reach a certain age
2. The tests conducted by Dr.Alva Zhao and her colleagues were aimed at________.
A. how kids develop a quality of fairness in games
B. children"s awareness of equality at different ages
C. the reasons why children care about equality
D. children"s attitudes towards other partners
3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Children under three know little about being fair.
B. Children above eight years old become less selfish.
C. Children with brothers or sisters tend to be more generous.
D. The youngest child in a family tends to be less generous.
4. We can learn that children care more about equality while with________.
A. unknown people
B. nice people
C. familiar people
D. f
air peoplesay 100 million more could go hungry this year because of the food and financial crises.
To deal with the situation, the UN World Food Program has started a project to help small farmers.
These farmers are mainly women.Many cannot produce enough food even to feed and support their own
families.
The new effort is called Purchase for Progress, or P4P.It aims to connect local farmers with
dependable markets.That way, they could get a chance to sell their surplus (剩余) at competitive prices.
P4P will be tested in as many as 21 countries during the next five years.
The biggest contributor to the project is Bill Gates, through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Another donor (捐款者) is the Howard Buffett Foundation, led by a son of the American investor
Warren Buffett.The government of Belgium is also support
ing the project in a former colony (殖民地), now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Together these donors have provided more than 76 million dollars for projects in Africa and Central
America.
Purchase for Progress will work with United Nations agencies, governments and nongovernmental
organizations to help increase crop production.The World Bank Group and other partners are to help
train farmers in better crop management and marketing skills.
The World Food Program says it expects to buy 40,000 tons of food in the first year using methods
carried out by the project.That will be enough to feed 250,000 people.
P4P is expected to develop food cooperatives and longterm agreements for buying corn, wheat and
other food crops.About 350,000 farmers could be assisted.
Officials say the project will change the way the World Food Program buys food in d
eveloping countries. Executive Director Josette Sheeran says this is the first time her agency will buy a large
amount of food from small farmers.The agency has traditionally bought most of its food from developing
countries, but through larger trading organizations.

1. _____
Voluntary learning in organized courses by m
ature men and women is called adult education.Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults.Adults may
want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills or job training, find out
about new technological development, seek better selfunderstanding, or develop new talents and skills.
2. _____
This kind of education may be in the form of selfstudy with proper guidance through the use of
libraries, correspondence (函授) courses, or broadcasting.It may also be acquired collectively in schools
and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs, and professional associations.

Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the
rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were
moving from rural areas to cities: new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.
These and other factors produced a need for further education and reeducation of adults.
4. _____
The earliest program of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the
founding of an adult school at Nottingham and a mechanics" institute at Glasgow.The earliest adult
education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in
Philadelphia in 1727.
5
. _____People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today.For
example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining
programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up
constantly to meet these and other needs.
good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good
friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows (誓言) mean what they say.I am a good friend
to my friends, and they to me.Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here"s what I want to tell you today:Get a life.A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升),
the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love, and who love you.And remember that love
is not leisure (休闲), it is work.Pick up the phone.Send an email.Write a letter.And realize that life is the
best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to
waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes.It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live.I learnt to live many years ago.Something really, really bad happened to me, something that
changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all.And what I
learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and try
to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally.And I tried to do that, in part, by
telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this:Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of
life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be
lived.
