others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried an individual, friends nearby would meet to
discuss possible solutions without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon,
one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of
the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was
given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere "thank you", because they were never known.
This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase "pay it forward" is now used when
one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that
helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the
future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility which makes us want to give back
in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone
in the future.
Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to
repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than
to have you use her money to get a good education.
You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money, but
she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it. People with serious
needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools.
Some are elderly people who can"t afford their medicine or a doctor"s care. Consider how you can "pay it
forward" rather than pay money back to your grandmother.
B. they had solved the problems secretly
C. they were friends of the worried individual
D. they expected to be paid back in the future
B. to pay someone else who needs help
C. to help someone who has helped you

B. We should work hard to get a good education.
C. We should also lend a hand to other people in need of help.
D. We should never forget to repay people for their help.
B. more children need help than elderly people
C. it costs a lot of money to "pay it forward"
D. nowadays many people help others without being repaid
B. mysterious
C. honest
D. unforgettable
viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured.
The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language-all
these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast (对照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a
journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but the
attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected
difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world,
new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown,
and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being
is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more
chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we"re shy and indecisive? Then our sense
of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we"re not
smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and
grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our
own making.
B. grow up from his own achievements
C. face difficulties and take up challenges
D. aim high and reach his goal each time
B. Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.
C. Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris.
D. Father"s salary rose from 5, 000 to 7,000.
B. being quick in self-adaptation
C. having an open mind to new experiences
D. staying away from failures and challenges
B. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable.
C. There are only two ways to see a person"s growth.
D. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up.
B. Growth-Product or Process
C. Two Basic Ways of Growth
D. Overcoming Internal Fears
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.

D. Good relationship is the key to business success.
B. provide better suggestions
C. give his employees a pay raise
D. hide his own emotion of fear
B. help raise employees" living standards
C. deal wisely with employees" emotions
D. give employees" specific instructions (指导)
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.

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

B. A Winner"s Secret.
C. A Winner"s Problem.
D. A Winner"s Achievement.
