characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects-the camera work, cuttings and
special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits, musical score and the acting. A
wellmade film offers much more than you see in one viewing.
Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things, just as newspapers do, or television,
or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you, like ideas
or lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not.
The more you are aware of this, the better you are.
Notice, for example, the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a
certain way, and suddenly everyone is imitating her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearing
black leather jackets, idling (闲逛) on street corners and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marion Brando. His films taught them a certain way to behave.
Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents fighting
with guts(胆量) and not much else. They were, in fact, rather like the British in the early days of WWⅡ.
Their enemies, like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were
like the Nazis in discipline and heartlessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a rerun of WWⅡ, and
taught values like faith and love of liberty. This is all to the good, but the point is, did you notice it?
1. All of the following are mentioned as noticeable aspects of a film EXCEPT________.
A. the list of names of actors and directors, etc.
B. the cost of a film
C. the music for a film
D. the language used in a film
2. The last sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A. a high quality film can be appreciated repeatedly from different angles
B. a good film always attracts a lot of viewers
C. a wellmade film usually has more than one theme
D. one can never find out how many characters there are in a good film
3. It can be inferred from the passage that in his film, Marion Brando was ________.
A. a motorist who always wore a black leather jacket
B. a homeless man who died of excessive smoking
C. a rebellious man during WWⅡ
D. an idler who didn"t have any serious things to do

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.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 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 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.Leader
s 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.
