    C
    　Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands, 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 important 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.
    64．The underlined word “cultivated” (in paragraph1) roughly means ________.
    A．encouraged　　　　B．compared　　 C．examined　　　　D．developed
    65．The part “always give credit” tells us that a leader should _______.
    A．give helpful criticism　　　　　　　     B．regard others as real heroes
    C．praise people for their good performances　  D．praise everyone
    66．To be a good leader, you should _______.
    A．not be afraid of any risks　　　　　　     B．think twice before taking risks
    C．try to avoid any possible failures　　　　    D．know what a thoughtless exercise is
    67．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
    A．Leadership is of skills and techniques　　     B．Leadership is very important
    C．Not many can be leaders　　　　　　     D．How to be a leader

    　　Richard DuVoss, one of the co－founders of the Amway Corporation, told how he purposely rose early one morning to thank his garbage man for his services. Mr. DuVoss did so because the man always was so punctual (on time), careful, and quiet. The fellow was so shocked that he drove off without saying a word. Mr. DuVoss rose early to meet the same garbage man for three mornings before he got a response. Finally, the man answered, “In 12 years nobody ever told me they appreciated what I do. You are the first person ever to thank me.”

    　　Giving appreciation and sharing ourselves from a loving heart, with no need to get anything back, will always feel wonderful and refreshing to us and to others. Appreciation is a true gift. It comes from the heart and is offered spontaneously(自发地). Don't we all love to be appreciated? Above all kids need a lot of appreciation. A．little time, attention and encouragement from the one we love can lift our spirits and help us cope with life.

    　　Appreciating others is a skill that anyone can learn It should be done from our heart and one should have a broad heart to accept appreciation too.

    　　Being a waitress changed my life．One of my regular customers was Fred Hasbrook, an electronics salesman．Thanks to the newfound confidence I picked up from Helen, I dreamed of having my own restaurant．But when I called my parents to ask for a loan, they said,“We just don't have the money．”

    　　He walked over to some of the other diner regulars and the next day handed me checks totaling ＄50,000－along with a note that I have to this day．It reads,“The only collateral(担保)on this loan is my trust in your honesty as a person．Good people with a dream should have the opportunity to make that dream come true．”

    　　Being a mother is apparently not like it was in the good old days．

    　　Today’s parents yearn for the golden age that their own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and 1980s, researchers found．Mothers have less time to themselves and feel under greater pressure to handle work and family life than the previous generation．As a result, 88 per cent said they felt guilty about the lack of time they spent with their children．

    　　The survey of 1,000 mothers also found that more than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did－just three hours a week or 26 minutes a day．And 64 per cent said this was because they felt they ‘had’ to go out to work, while nearly a third(29 per cent)said they were under constant pressure to be the ‘perfect mother’, the report found．

    　　Other findings showed social networking and parenting websites, as well as technology such as Skype, were important in providing help and support among female communities．Kate Fox, a member of the Social Issues Research Centre, which conducted the survey for Procter ＆ Gamble, said： ‘With increasing pressure on mothers to work a “double shift”－to be the perfect mother as well as a wage-earner－support networks are more important than ever．

    　　It comes as a separate report examining childcare in the leading industrialised nations found that working mothers in Britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a ‘primary activity’．Mothers who stay at home, on the other hand, manage twice as much time－more than two and a half hours－looking after their offspring, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development．

    　　Critics say the pressure on women to work long hours, and leave their offspring in the hands of nurseries or childminders, is putting the well-being of their children at risk．

    　　The study also reveals that, despite the fact that more and more modern mothers go out to work, the burden of childcare still falls on them - even if their husband is not in work．A father who is not in work tends to spend just 63 minutes a day looking after his child - 18 minutes less than a mother who goes out to work．Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children．

    阅读理解。
         Do you have any strong opinion on co-educational or single-sex schools?
         A supporter of co-educational schools would probably say that schools should be like the societies they
    belong to. In Hong Kong, men and women mix socially on a day-to-day basis. In many fields men are even
    likely to have female bosses. It is, therefore, desirable that boys and girls grow up together,go to school
    together, and prepare themselves for a society that does not value sexual separation.
         Some would go on to argue further that growing up with members of the opposite sex is important for
    personal development. Regular contact (接触) can remove the strange ideas about the opposite-sex and lead
    to more natural relationships. Single-sex conditions are seen as leading to more extreme opinions, and possibly
    even as encouraging homosexuality (同性恋), though there is no proof that this is the case.
         Those who are against coeducation often also fix their attention on the sexual side. Some parents fear that
    close contact with members of the opposite sex is dangerous for teenagers. They want their children to be
    attentive to their studies. Such parents feel uncomfortable with modern ways and the free mixing of the sexes.
         A stronger argument comes from research into school results. Girls grow up earlier than boys, tend to be
    more orderly and are likely to be better at languages. In a mixed class,boys who might do well in a single-sex
    class become discouraged and take on the rule of troublemaker. Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly
    alarmed (惊动) the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have some single-sex
    classes.　In the UK the best schools are all single-sex, strongly suggesting that co-education is not the best
    answer. This may, however, not be as simple as it looks.It may simply be that the famous old schools that
    attract the best students happen to be single-sex,　rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools.
    1. In the third paragraph, by saying "though there is no proof that this is the case", the writer
    means that _____.
    A. students in single-sex schools will certainly become homosexual
    B. students in co-educational schools cannot have extreme opinions
    C. students in co-educational schools are likely to be homosexual
    D. single-sex school conditions may or may not have effects on the students.
    2. All the following arguments can be found in the passage EXCEPT that _____.
    A. co-education can produce a society-like situation
    B. co-educational schools may lead to love affairs between boys and girls
    C. co-education will help develop a better understanding about the opposite sex
    D. co-education can make boys perform well in mixed classes
    3. Alarmed by the situation,the UK government encourages _____.
    A. co-education
    B. single-sex education
    C. single-sex classes in co-educational schools
    D. co-educational classes in single-sex schools
    4. At the end of the passage the writer suggests that _____.
    A. single-sex schools are the best schools in the UK
    B. being single-sex does not necessarily make a school better
    C. co-educational schools are better for both sexes in personal development
    D. because boys cannot compete with girls in study,they go to single-sex schools
