17、nly got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remeber once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an ol
18、d dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ears “turn around and head back ho
19、me”, but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go and down I grew scared.

25、me.CWhen we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate? Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things.

26、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 .his emotion of fear, they wil
27、l become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not 7only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place m leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our
28、 understanding and use of emotion.

Todays work place is all about relationships.Anyone works h
29、arder in a positive environment in which theyre recognized and valued as a human being as well as 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.
30、The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligenceknowing 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 wi
31、th people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.28.

34、uctions D. deal wisely with employees emotions DIt seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠）and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a for
35、m of social connection. Kids dont develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns.

36、 also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.“Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together,” said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. “Yawning may be part of that.” Inspiration for her study
37、came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.“The fact that autistic kids dont do it might mean theyre really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them,” she said. “The b
38、iggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others,” she added. “Autistic people never seem to understand that.”Like infectious（有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experi
39、ence that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of 9calm through a group.32.
