how 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 are 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. be cannot work at his best
C. he feels his brain shut down
D. he thinks of his work as too heavy
B. Working conditions affect people"s physical health

C. five his employees a pay raise
D. hide his own emotion of fear
B. help raise employee"s living standards
C. give employees specific instructions

on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods,
all at very good prices. You can get things you won"t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about
them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you
are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.
The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity"s appeal to aid postwar Greece
had been so successful it had been flooded with donations (捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell
some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My
favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children"s books, all 10 or
20 pence each.
Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets
paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of
unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don"t encourage this, rather ask people to bring things
in when the shop is open.
The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than £110
million a year, funding (资助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and
disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very
good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.
B. its great variety of goods
C. its spirit of goodwill
D. its nice shopping environment
B. deal with unwanted things
C. raise money for patients
D. help a foreign country
B. The staff are usually well paid.
C. 90% of the donations are second-hand.
D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.
A. What to Buy a Charity Shops.
B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.
C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.
D. The Public"s Concern about Charity Shops.
experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place
in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is
passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it"s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday
communication with friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told
even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor (谣言).
Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn"t
show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn,
whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down
the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically,
the original message has changed.
That"s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes
the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a
story, trying to improve on it, stamping (打上标记) it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it
think they know.
This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be
re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue,
unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to
challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.
B. solving a math problem
C. visiting an exhibition
D. doing scientific reasoning
B. knowledge
C. communication
D. passive learning
B. a message should be delivered in different ways
C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing
D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor
B. Passive learning may not be reliable.
C. Active learning occurs more frequently.
D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.
Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries,
choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are
exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies
and advertisers hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people"s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not
exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many
people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item (商品) that is not
really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family
are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the
professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of
products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need
to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical
example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a
problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with case into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no
anxiety.
B. The practice of choice is difficult.
C. The right of choice is given but at a price.
D. Choice and right exist at the same time.
B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice.
B. products of the latest design flood the market
C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
D. everyday goods need to be replaced often
B. The opinions on people"s right in different countries.
C. The problems about the availability of everyday goods.
D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions
to "make something" of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping
up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two
gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure
everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.
When it was suppertime, I walked back home.
"How many did you sell, my boy?" my mother asked.
"None."
"Where did you go?"
"The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues."
"What did you do?"
"Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post."
"You just stood there?"
"Didn"t sell a single one."
"My God, Russell!"
Uncle Allen put in, "Well, I"ve decided to take the Post." I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle (五分
镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with
self-confidence (自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be
without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I"d changed my mind. I didn"t want to make a success in the magazine business.
" If you think you can change your mind like this," she replied, "you"ll become a good-for-nothing." She
insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said
no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with
my father"s plain workman"s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did
she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband"s people
for true life and love.
B. The job was quite easy for him.
C. His mother had high hopes for him.
D. The competition for the job was fierce.
B. interested
C. ashamed
D. disappointed
B. interested
C. ashamed
D. disappointed
B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.
C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.
D. The fight between the boy and his father.
B. The early success of a journalist.
C. The happy childhood of the writer.
D. The important role of the writer in his family.
a sort of alarm: after years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death.
Only after a week"s leave-during which he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on
a beach-was Rudenstine able to return to work.
In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there
is a universal but silly saying: "I am so busy."
We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully
deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others.
To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax-this has become the model
of a successful life.
Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing is
with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.
How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the
week-for followers of some religions-for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a
time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our
children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our
work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.
Rest is s spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our
many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission
to stop work. In fact, "Remember the Sabbath" is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and
a principle to follow.
B. a warning of danger
C. a sign of age
D. a spread of disease
B. be more talented than other people
C. be more important than anyone else
D. be busying working without time to rest
B. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life
C. fail to realize that religions force them to rest
D. think that taking a rest means being lazy
B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.
C. It is silly for anyone to say "I am busy."
D. We should be available to our family and friends.
