respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can"t be easily
swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.
Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their
everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?
Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from
others is to treat them like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership
technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity (慷慨) that"s never forgotten.
Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism (批评), which often hurts
rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees.
"Catch people doing something right!" he says. Then tell everyone about it.
Take informed risks."The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise," says
management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz."Sky divers don"t go up in an airplane without checking the
parachutes (降落伞) beforehand."
Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others
to take charge. But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail - and not die a thousand deaths. Pick
yourself up and start all over again.
Encourage enthusiasm. (热情) "When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental
strengths," says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the
job. That"s a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself-You will be
followed by everyone.
A. encouraged
B. compared
C. examined
D. developed
B. regard others as real heroes
C. praise people for their good performances
D. praise everyone
B. think twice before taking risks
C. try to avoid any possible failures
D. know what a thoughtless exercise is
B. Leadership Is Very Important
C. Not Many Can Be Leaders
D. How to Be a Leader

French and their "habit of standing in a queue". Forty years later Paris was the best place to wait in line.
However, queuing became popular in Britain too. The Second World War was the golden age of queuing,
and people joined any line in the hope that it was a queue for something to buy. This was the source of many
Second World War jokes:
Shopkeeper to customer: Excuse me, miss, are you pregnant (怀孕)?
Customer: Well, I wasn"t when I joined the queue.
Today, according to research in America, we (in Britain) can spend up to 5 years of our lives queuing-as
compared to twelve months looking for things we have lost. But things may be changing. Many people no
longer have the patience to stand in a queue. The law of the jungle (丛林) has begun to operate at bus stops,
with people using their arms to push others out of the way.
One way to make life easier is to introduce "queue management". Customers at supermarket cheese
counters can now take a ticket with a number which appears on a screen when it is their turn. And while they
wait for their number, they can do a bit of shopping. In some booking offices there is also a system telling
customers how long they may have to wait before they are served.
One of the latest technical progress is the use of an electronic scanner (电子识别器) which can read all
the contents of your shopping basket or trolley in just a few seconds. If these become popular, queuing in
supermarkets may become a thing of the past.
But some people just like queuing. One man queued all night for Harrods famous January sale, and then
returned home for breakfast at nine o" clock the next morning without going into the shop.
B. doesn"t need to stand in the queue
C. enjoys standing in the queue
D. has stood in the wrong line
B. The Americans criticized the British for their way of queuing.
C. The British are always patient when they wait in line.
D. People queue only when they want to buy something.
B. telling the customers the waiting time
C. using numbered tickets to put the customers in order
D. checking the price of the goods customers buy with a scanner
B. there is still queuing in England
C. we don"t see much queuing in Paris
D. the French like queuing more than the British
cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours-and still the kids keep coming and coming, like ants at a
picnic. As Christmas becomes more commercialized (商业化) across the U. S. And Canada, so must Santas.
As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen.
The questions from children these days are harder than ever. Now, with thousands of children expecting
a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the questions are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable. For example, "Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?"
Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a
story: A Santa had a girl on his knee, and he commented, "You have nice eyes and nice hair." The girl later
said it was sexual harassment (骚扰). When a Santa feels anxious, he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do: The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended. Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and don"t see other children again.
B. political leaders
C. organisers of the activities
D. Santa Clauses
B. very hard
C. worth doing
D. dangerous
B. hanging around the dinner table
C. being lazy and sleeping in bed for days
D. not playing their roles as expected
B. Is Santa Claus Really Alive?
C. A Christmas Story
D. What Does Santa Claus Do for Children?
coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money?
What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad
stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not
to give some money to beggars.
Certainly, most of the world"s great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we
have with those less fortunate than ourselves.But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德
方面) right in the old days,when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed
help,is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good
living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行). Secondly, there is the worry
that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs.Thirdly,there is the opinion that there is no real
excuse for begging. One might be poor,but that is no reason for losing one"s sense of pride and
self-dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary
people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently.
A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the
moral goodness of the giver.
B. Religious activities of the church.
C. Moral goodness of the giver.
D. Arguments on giving to beggars.
B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.
C. We don"t meet with those who need help any more.
D. Now it is the government"s duty to help the beggars.
B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.
C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.
D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.
B. there are so many beggars
C. there is so much money wasted
D. there are so many different arguments
Sir, I was halfway through Professor Raj Persaud"s article "What"s the tipping point" (Financial Times
Weekend, April 9-l0) when it occurred to me that what I was reading was not ironic (讽刺的). If Prof
Persaud wants to know why Americans tip in restaurants, he need only ask the first American he meets in
London.
Americans tip in restarts for one reason, and one reason only: we tip to supplement (补贴) the salary of
restaurant workers. Quality of service does not enter into it, beyond the fact that one may tip a bit less for
poor service, or a little more for good service.
Not tipping at all in a non-fast-food restaurant is not a choice. In the US, one used to tip about 15 per
cent for dining in a family-style restaurant or in an up-market (高档的) restaurant. Here, in San Francisco
Bay area restaurants, we me encouraged to tip 20 per cent or more, to help restart workers live in this very
expensive area.
After eating at an Italian restart in my city, I left a tip of 20 per cent on the non-tax part of our dinner bill.
It was expected. There is nothing more complicated (复杂的) than that about Americas tipping in restaurants.
Ward Hoffman,
Palo Alto, CA 94306, US
From Mr. Philip McBride Johnson.
Sir, I agree with most of Raj Persaud"s opinion about the doubtful value of tipping, but with one exception
(例外). Tips can be very useful when one is a repeat customer or diner.
It is only when the tipper is a stranger and likely to remain so that the system does not work to his or her
advantage. But frequent a hotel or a restaurant, always tip a bit more, and the difference in service and
treatment will ba easily felt.

Great Falls, VA 22066, US
B. Americans don"t tip in non fast-food restaurants.
C. Tipping in US upmarknt restarts is unnecessary.
D. How to tip in the United States is not complicated.
B. diners receive better service if they frequent a restaurant
C. repeat dinners may get good service if they tip a bit more
D. the tipping system works to the advantage of new customers
B. believes tipping improves quality of service
C. wats to ask Hoffman about tipping m the US
D. thinks tipping a bit mom one can get good service
B. handbook
C. book review
D. newspaper
immediately when it"s sunny md brighten when a passing cloud blocks the sun.
A wall of windows at a University of Pennsylvania engineering budding has built-in blinds (百页窗)
controlled by a computer program that follows the sun"s path.
Buildings are getting smarter-and the next generation of building materials expected to do even more.
Windows could catch the sun"s energy to heat water. Sensors that measure the carbon dioxide breathed
out by people in a mom could determine whether the air conditioning needs to be turned up.
Many new materials and technology have been designed in the last 15 years. They now being used in a
wave of buildings designed to save as much energy as possible. They include old ideas, like"green roofs,"
where a belt of plants on a roof helps the building keep heat in winter and stay cool in summer, and new
ideas, like special coating for windows that lets light in, but keeps heat out.
As technologies such as sensors become cheaper, their uses spread.
The elevators (电梯) at Seven World Trade Center, which is under construction in New York, use a
system that groups people traveling to nearby floor into the same elevator, thus saving elevator stops.
People who work in the building will enter it by swiping (刷) ID cards that will tell the elevators their floor;
readouts will then tell them which elevator to use. The building also has windows with a coating that blocks
heal while letting in light.
More new building materials and technology are in development. A Philadelphia building farm is now
working on"smart wrap" that uses tiny solar collectors to catch the sun"s energy and transmitters (传感器)
the width of a human hair to move it. They are expected to change the face of the construction industry in
the next ten years or so.
B. "Smart wrap" that catches the sun"s energy
C. Sunlight-measuring sensors that control lights
D. Window coating that lets light in, but keeps heat out
B. teach people how to use their ID cards
C. make people stay very cool in summer
D. help people go traveling in the building
B. smart wrap
C. the sun"s energy
D. a transmitter
B. Buildings Are Getting More Sunlight
C. Buildings Are Lacking in Much Energy
D. Buildings Are Using Cheaper Materials
