For the tenth and last time as Secretary General, I offer friends and colleagues around
the world my best wishes on United Nations Day. I have spent almost all my whole
professional life working for the United Nations-sothisday , andthevaluesthatstand for ,
willal-ways be special for me.
Over the past ten years, we have made some big steps forward in our common struggle
for development, security and human rights. Aid and debt relief have increased , making
the world economy somewhat fairer. At last, the world is increasing its response to
HIV/AIDS. There are fewer wars between States than there used to be , and manycivil
warshaveended. Moregovernments are elected by, and accountable to the people
whom they govern. And all States have acknowledged, at least in words, their
responsibility to protect people from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and
crimes against humanity.
But there is so much that still needs doing.
The gap between rich and poor continues to grow.
Thenuclearnon-proliferationregime (核不扩散机制) requires urgent attention.
Terrorism and the reaction to it are spreading fear and suspicion. It seems we don"t
even agree which threats are most important. Those who live in small islands may
see global warming as the biggest danger. Those who live in a city that has suffered
terrorist attacks-likeNewYork , orMumbai, orIstanbul-may feel that confronting
terrorism is more urgent. Othersagainmaycitepoverty , disease , orgenocide. The
truth is , there are all global threats. All of us should be concerned about all of them.
Otherwise ,we may not succeed in dealing with any of them.
At this time of all times. We cannot afford to be divided. I know that you, the people
of the world, understand this. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you have
given me, throughout these ten difficult but exciting years.
Please urge your leaders to work with my successor, and make the United Nations
ever stronger and more affective.
Long live our planet, and its peoples!Long live the United Nations!

"It"s not worth the trouble," my mother said. "It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery
bread is delicious without all that effort."
Begging was useless. Mom"s "no" meant "No!"
But several weeks later, opportunity knocked. My parents were going out for the evening. I
immediately invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baking crime.
We studied the recipe. That was easy. "Mix oil into flour then beat in four eggs, one at a time, with
remaining sugar and salt."
We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother.
"Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it."
We took turns working like that. "Is the dough "holding together"?" we asked each other.
I remembered my neighbor"s instructions: "If it"s too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water."
We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.
"Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth," the recipe instructed.
We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between
fingers. "Clean and oil bowl, and then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for one hour."
This was good news-we"d have a break. On the dirty kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful
bread. "See?" we would tell my mom. "Isn"t it worth the work?"
Hanna and I couldn"t help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing happened.
"Maybe something will happen in the hot oven," I said.
Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.
Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do
it right.

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. Today"s work place is all about relationships 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.
B. be cannot work at his best
C. he feels his brain shut down
D. he thinks of his work as too heavy

D. Smart people are more functional in the work place

C.give his employees a pay rise
D. hide his own emotion of fear
B. help raise employee"s living standards
C. give employees specific instructions
D. deal wisely with employees" emotions

Turkey started the next stage of a smoking ban on July 19, 2009 by extending the
ban to cafes, bars and restaurants as it aims to limit smoking in a country where 22 million
people, half the adult male population, smoke.
Smokers in Cyprus will also be hit finally when one of the last EU smoking havens
(避难所) carries out a ban on smoking in public places. From January 1, 2011, smoking
was banned in restaurants, bars, nightclubs and workplaces, and heavy fines were put
in place.
Ireland carried out a nationwide ban on smoking in workplaces in 2004. US states,
including Florida and California, have had similar bans since 2003. In November 2004,
Bhutan became the first country to ban tobacco sales entirely.
Here are details on some other countries that have banned smoking since 2008:
●July 2008:
Germany: A ban on smoking in bars in Germany"s 16 federal states was challenged
in court in July 2008. Most states are now adopting the guidelines established by the
court. Roughly 29% of more than 81 million Germans smoke.
●October 2008:
India: It banned smoking in public places on October 2 in an attempt to fight tobacco
use. The ban, which includes all offices and restaurants, will hit its estimated 240 million
tobacco users.
●January 2009:
Indonesia: Some cities in Indonesia have banned smoking in public, but rules are
ignored sometimes.
●May 2009:
Croatia: Law banning smoking in all public places came into effect on May 6 to the
displeasure of one million smokers.
