阅读理解     When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really,and
how do they operate?
     Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible,it is short-term ,
and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because
they feel they must , 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 associate you with this 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 has no place in 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 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 motivating 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 relationships with
people around you , which is the key to the leadership skills.1. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when___________.   A. he is forced to do things
B. he cannot work at his best
C. he feels his brain shut down
D. he thinks of his work as too heavy2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?__________    A. People tend to associate leadership with fear.
B. Working conditions affect people"s physical health.
C. Good relationship is the key to business , success.
D. Smart people are more functional in the work place.3. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all__________.   A. provide better suggestions
B. develop his own personality
C. give his employees a pay raise
D. hide his own emotion of fear4. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader"s ability to  A. provide a variety of projects for employees
B. help raise employees" living standards
C. give employees specific instructions
D. deal wisely with employees" emotions

阅读理解     Almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice ,we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world,in rich and poor
countries, choice is a luxury , something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think
th ey are exercising their right to make choices , the whole  system  is merely an illusion , a false idea
created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.
     The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people"s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot
is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness
in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just  buying  an  unsuitable  item
(商品) that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought
in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or
trusted into the hands of the professionals ,lifestyle instructors , or advisors.
      It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of
products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products
also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers , which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing:  no choice, no anxiety.1. What does the author try to argue in Paragraph l?     A. The exercise of rights is a luxury.
B. The practice of choice is difficult.
C. The right of choice is given but at a price.
D. Choice and right exist at the same time.2. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety?     A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product.
B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.3. By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that___________.  A. advanced products meet the needs of people
B. products of the latest design flood the market
C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
D. everyday goods need to be replaced often4. What is this passage mainly about?  A. The variety of choices in modern society.
B. The opinions on people"s right in different countries.
C. The problems about the availability of everyday goods.
D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.

阅读理解     You"re sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns ( 打哈欠). Suddenly , you"re 
 yawning  with  him , though  you"re not tired.
      This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to
sympathize with fellow humans.Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were
unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious (有感染力的) yawning,
which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.
     Hugo Critchley,a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that
happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley , our mind and body
are in constant exchange about how we"re feeling. " Emotions are closely linked with states of internal
(内部的) responses. " he explained."There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial
expressions. When we"re in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there"s
the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious, changes that reflect emotions
of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure. "
     Hugo Critchley further explained , " Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person , we
even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you"re sitting-it"s pretty likely
that you will be the same. Scientists believe it"s our way of telling each other that we"re partners. Through
body language, humans give each other very subtLe (微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions. "
    So,what lessons can we leam from this? " Spend time with happy people-otherwise your health could
suffer. " said Critchley. " When we"re sad,our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we"re happy,
our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel
healthy and it affects everyone around us. "1. According to Hugo Critchley,__________.A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change ofemotions2. The underlined word " synchronise"  in Paragraph 4 means"___________"    A. move slowly                  
B. change rapidly
C. relax temporarily             
 D. respond accordingly3. From the passage we can learn_________.   A. sadness is as contagious as happiness
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?   A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.
B. Children like copying the actions of fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.

     Rabbits are easy to raise. They are clean and quiet. They don"t need a lot of room. And
it costs a small amount of money to feed them , but you get a big return.
     One male and two females will produce as many as fifty more rabbits in a year. That is
enough to provide enough meat for a family. Rabbit meat is high in protein and low in fat.
     You don"t have to be a farmer to raise rabbits. You can raise them in the city.
     Rabbit houses are easy to make with wood and wire. They don"t have to be very big.
But each rabbit must have its own little room in the house. This is very important. Each
room should be about 75 centimeters wide,60 centimeters high and one meter deep.
     Fencing is used for the sides and floor of the rabbit house. The holes in the wire fencing
should be about one centimeter square.Waste from the animals will drop through the holes.
This keeps the rabbit house clean and dry.
     Rabbits need a lot of fresh air and sunlight. Cover the sides of the rabbit house only to
protect it from rain.
     Rabbits eat mostly grass and leaves. Hang feeding containers on the outside of the house
to let the rabbits eat whenever they want. They simply pull the grass and leaves through
the holes in the fence.
Each room should have fresh water. The water containers should be heavy so the rabbits
cannot turn them over. Or you can tie the containers to the fence.
     One month after mating (交配) , female rabbits give birth to about eight babies. In two
months,a baby rabbit should weigh about two kilograms. This is big enough to make a
meal for a small family.
     Rabbits are also valuable for their fur. It takes time, skill and money to prepare the fur
and skin for use. If you have only a few rabbits,it probably would be best to let a tanner
(制革工) prepare the fur for you. Skill is also needed to remove the fur from the rabbit.
     But rabbits do not have to be dead to be valuable .Many people enjoy keeping rabbits
as friendly pets. And rabbit waste makes an excellent fertilizer(肥料) . Itcanbemixeddirectly
into the soil to improve the growth of vegetables , trees and flowering plants.
1. The text is written mainly _______.
A. to explain why rabbits are clean and quiet
B. to let people know more about rabbits
C. to tell readers how to raise rabbits
D. to introduce a small friendly animal pet
2. What is important if you raise rabbits?_______
A. Holes are needed for waste to drop through.
B. Each rabbit must be given a separate room.
C. Each room must have clean water every day.
D. Feeding containers are hung on the fence.
3. Why should the holes in the wire fence be about one centimeter square ?______
A. Because the holes let in sunlight.
B. Because rabbits like these holes.
C. Because rabbits get food from them.
D. Because waste of rabbits drops through the holes.
4. We learn from the text that rabbits ________.
A. need enough fresh air and sunlight
B. produce a lot of waste every day
C. feed on only fresh grass and leaves
D. make better pets than dogs and cats
5. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?______
A. You don"t have to kill rabbits to make more money.
B. Rabbits cannot be sold to make money when they are alive.
C. Rabbits are more valuable when they are alive.
D. Rabbits have to be killed to be more valuable.
首先,请阅读下列的应用文 :
A. Chapter One.…You probably have an image in your mind of what the  " perfect"  or " ideal"  body looks like. Try not to press yourself to look that way. Each person is born with genes that control the shape of his / her body. Everyone is different. It"s important to be comfortable with the body you have.
B. Chapter Two…You use energy for everything you do. That energy comes from the food you eat. Too much food or too little exercise causes your body to store the extra energy in fat cells. But , if you exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, you"ll feel healthier and stronger not to mention Iook great.
C. Chapter Three… Your body runs best on foods high in carbohydrates and low in fat and sugar. Eating a healthy diet will provide your body with everything it needs to run smoothly. Your body breaks down
proteins into amino acids(氨基酸) , so you don"t need to take in the amino acids separately.
D. Chapter Four.…Fxercise does more than just burn calories. For instance, regular exercise makes your muscles strong and flexible, and increases the amount of muscle you have. It also makes your heart stronger and lowers your blood pressure.
E. Chapter Five.…Always warm up and stretch for 5-10 minutes before you do strength or endurance
exercises. Afterwards, take 10 minutes to cool down. Your heart should beat normally when you stop.
Exercising with a group may help you to exercise regularly.
F. Chapter Six…Supplementation of a mixture of essential amino acids will increase protein synthesis
(蛋白质综合体. While supplementing with either carbohydrate or amino acids may limit muscle damage
and stimulate(激励)protein synthesis, there is increasing evidence that the combination can have an
addictive effect.
