True leadership is not just the ability to identify the talent and skill of the polished individuals around you. It involves being able to dig beneath the surface and discover .
Once there was a boy who constantly sat and talked in his math class, and seemed in group activities. Most teachers would think of him as a problem student.
However, Anna was different. She believed the student was above in other areas so she created a strategy to find out.
Anna didn't the parents. Instead she organized a handful of activities in the class to get more information. In place of calling out for volunteers in class she created a for each Friday: Girls vs Boys.
The first week the class was totally . Everyone wanted to win. Even the boy had his hand up the whole time trying to get a turn. , Anna waited, and waited, and waited. Finally the teacher paired the boy with the most girl student in class.
Now the two teams had a score, all the students sat back eager to see the result. As the teacher placed the question on the board, most of the students began to their heads: this was a question they had never in class.
" !" the teacher yelled. Both students started doing it thinking of how to solve the complex question. Their classmates, full of , exclaimed, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The boy finished it just seconds before the girl and spun around with his raised, "I won!" Almost nobody could believe the student they admired failed until Anna the result.
This was what Anna tried to get it turned out that the student wasn't bad, he was .
So we can see that hidden abilities is not always easy but the end results can be magical. Try your hand at this quality of leadership now and report your results.

Last weekend we went mountain-climbing.
Even the heavy rain can not stop us.
We set off early and went along an extreme narrow road, all in high spirit.
On either side of the road was green fields.
We could hear the sound of the rain mixing with our laughter.
At noon we reached to the top of the mountain, there we were amazed by the beauty of the scenes.
After short rest, we started going down
It rained more harder.
We were wet all over, and we still felt happy.

Paparazzi, or “paps”, are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.
The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money — normally a small newspaper, magazine or website.
There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.
There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.
Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone — from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.
Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go. What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!
1.Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?
A. Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.
B. Taking pictures of famous people in public places.
C. Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.
D. Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.
2.In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.
A. get the only first-hand pictures
B. sell the pictures to a big newspaper
C. make friends with famous people
D. know the locations of celebrities
3.The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. how paparazzi get the pictures
B. how dangerous paparazzi’s job is
C. how paparazzi contact informers
D. how much paparazzi pay for the pictures
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A. Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.
B. Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed.
C. Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.
D. Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.

If you saw another kid ride her bike too fast around a corner and fall down, you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn. Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others' mistakes. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey (猎物) slip away. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival.
Scientists suspected that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others' errors. Cells in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn't know whether individual cells in this part of the brain play different roles in detecting errors.
To investigate the brain's response to errors in more detail, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists monitored individual cells in the animal's brains.
When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in the second monkey's brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during its turn, some of the cells in that group didn't respond. Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to the monkey's own mistakes.
Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another's errors. "You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle. " Ellen de Bruijn, told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.
1. According to Paragraph 1 , animals' ability to learn from others' mistakes ______.
A. used to be ignored by humans
B. ensures that they will never fail
C. is being lost because of humans
D. helps them to survive better
2.The underlined word "detecting" in Paragraph 2 probably means "______".
A. correcting B. making
C. sensing D. drawing
3. In the experiment mentioned, those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to ______.
A. the same buttons B. others' mistakes
C. one's own mistakes D. the monkey's brain

Simon Sinek is naturally shy and doesn’t like speaking to crowds. At parties, he says he hides alone in the corner or doesn’t even show up in the first place. He prefers the latter. Yet, with some 22 million video views under his belt, the optimistic ethnographer also happens to be the third most-watched TED Talks presenter of all time.
Sinek’s unlikely success as both an inspirational speaker and a bestselling author isn’t just dumb luck. It’s the result of fears faced and erased, trial and error and tireless practice, on and off stage. Here are his secrets for delivering speeches that inspire, inform and entertain.
Don’t talk right away.
Sinek says you should never talk as you walk out on stage. “A lot of people start talking right away, and it’s out of nerves,” Sinek says. “That communicates a little bit of insecurity and fear.”
Instead, quietly walk out on stage. Then take a deep breath, find your place, wait a few seconds and begin. “I know it sounds long and tedious and it feels excruciatingly awkward when you do it,” Sinek says, “but it shows the audience you’re totally confident and in charge of the situation.”
Show up to give, not to take.
Often people give presentations to sell products or ideas, to get people to follow them on social media, buy their books or even just to like them. Sinek calls these kinds of speakers “takers,” and he says audiences can see through these people right away. And, when they do, they disengage.
“We are highly social animals,” says Sinek. “Even at a distance on stage, we can tell if you’re a giver or a taker, and people are more likely to trust a giver — a speaker that gives them value, that teaches them something new, that inspires them — than a taker.”
Speak unusually slowly.
When you get nervous, it’s not just your heart beat that quickens. Your words also tend to speed up. Luckily Sinek says audiences are more patient and forgiving than we know.
“They want you to succeed up there, but the more you rush, the more you turn them off,” he says. “If you just go quiet for a moment and take a long, deep breath, they’ll wait for you. It’s kind of amazing.”
Turn nervousness into excitement.
Sinek learned this trick from watching the Olympics. A few years ago he noticed that reporters interviewing Olympic athletes before and after competing were all asking the same question. “Were you nervous?” And all of the athletes gave the same answer: “No, I was excited.” These competitors were taking the body’s signs of nervousness — clammy hands, pounding heart and tense nerves — and reinterpreting them as side effects of excitement and exhilaration.
When you’re up on stage you will likely go through the same thing. That’s when Sinek says you should say to yourself out loud, “I’m not nervous, I’m excited!”
Say thank you when you’re done.
Applause is a gift, and when you receive a gift, it’s only right to express how grateful you are for it. This is why Sinek always closes out his presentations with these two simple yet powerful words: thank you.
“They gave you their time, and they’re giving you their applause.” Says Sinek. “That’s a gift, and you have to be grateful.”
