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 became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own
motivation (积极性). 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 (因素) 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.
B. to grow forth (向前) from the ground
C. to move or pass suddenly or swiftly

B. provide better suggestions
C. give his employees a pay raise

card came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover
the sender"s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent
daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She"d ask me if there was someone
for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I"d delivered
during the winter. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.
One month before my graduation, my father died, I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in
my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn"t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own
sadness would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth,
my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with
perhaps a bit of mystery.
My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.
B. A Mother"s Love
C. A Graduation Party
D. A Special Birthday
B. Because she have more fun imagining.
C. Because the sender give a girl happiest moments.
D. Because she try to discover the sender"s name.
B. she hoped she would find a boyfriend
C. she wanted her to be happy and strong
D. she thought education was most important
B. One of the writer"s neighbors.
C. One of the writer"s classmates.
D. The writer"s mother.
I"m late, but it"s not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit
of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser. You have no power and could do
nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you
stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner"s key
to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down,
maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the
useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague (同事)
causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility
or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don"t rely on this
person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless
of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful
no matter what happens. Winners don"t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult
situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities
to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power
over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame themselves rather than others
B. accept
C. improve
D. consider
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
B. A Winner"s Secret.
C. A Winner"s Problem.
D. A Winner"s Achievement.
those of others? The answer is NO. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses the tools that make
difference. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will
probably agree that knowing how to investigate and how to discover information is important to anyone. The
scientist goes one step further than that; he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and
that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions
into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist"s knowledge must be exact. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works
under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions
are different, any change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the
conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the
theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later
tested through investigations, Einstein"s ideas were shown to be correct.

Do you give up your plan to go hiking 2 because the weather isn"t as good as you had hoped? No, of
course not. I would rather go on trying no matter what I 3 and enjoy on the way to my destination (目的地).
4 , failure is like a naughty boy who plays with us on the way to our goals. Not only does he want to 5
us, but he wants to help us become braver. The more we 6 , the braver we"ll be.
If failure is the 7 without the moon, I"ll still smile at it, as stars may twinkle on us still. 8 , we all like the
moon, but should we ignore the stars? There is always something more important than 9 . In other words, we
shouldn"t only 10 on whether we succeed or fail. In fact, we learn a lot from failure. It is really helpful. The
more we learn from failure, the 11 we"ll be.
If failure is a bird without 12 , I"ll still smile at it. Flying isn"t the only thing a bird can do. If we can"t be 13
by the wide blue sky, why don"t we 14 adapting ourselves to the forest through our beautiful singing? Failure

find that we have a talent for something we never knew about before. Who 17 ?
Life is like a box of chocolates, and you 18 know what you"re going to get. Just keep on trying. The process
of trying is much more valuable than the 19 .

| Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised, "Barbara, be enthusiastic (热情 的)! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were! "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there, then the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" When others shout, "No, you can"t!" It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted, yet she didn"t stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, Cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. An author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul." Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mellrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, "I never made a dime until I stopped working for money."" If we can"t do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years,and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole- heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the sim- ple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow. | |||
