It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong , and you were right about that.”I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighbourhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (容器). Then he related an incident and began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing.I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and - 4 -knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work.The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit (犯人). He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not.21. Who was to blame for knocking off the stacks of cartons?A. The author B. The manager C. A woman D. The author’s mother22. Which of the following statements is not true?A. It was the author who put the display back togetherB. The author was severely criticized by the manager.C. A woman carelessly knocked off the stacks of cartonsD. The woman made an apology to the manager 23.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A. It’s Harder to Admit One’s Mistake B. A case of mistaken identity C. I remember an incident D. I was once the culprit24. The tone of the article expresses the author’s_______.A. admiration for the manager’s willingness to admit mistakesB. anger to the manager for his wrong accusationC. complaint against the woman who knocked off the stacks of cartonsD. regret for the mistake he made in the storeBWhen 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. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do - 5 -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 become 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 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.25 An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when ________.A. he is forced to do things B. he cannot work at his best C. he feels his brain shut down D. he thinks of his work as too heavy 26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People tend to associate leadership with fear - 6 -B. Working conditions affect people’s physical healthC. Good relationship is the key to business successD. Smart people are more functional in the work place.27. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all ________.A. provide better suggestions B. develop his own personalityC. give his employees a pay raise D. hide his own emotion of fear 28. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader’s ability to ________.A .provide a variety of projects for employees B. help raise employee’s living standardsC. give employees specific instructions D. deal wisely with employees’ emotionsCPsychiatrists (精神病专家 ) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset(优点) in child raising---older parents are more thoughtful, using less physical discipline and spending more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest and often unspoken fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf. “You can’t get away from that.” Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. - 7 -Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.” Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.”29. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child raising?A. Older parents are often better prepared financially.B. Older parents can take better care of their children.C. Older parents are usually more considerate in bringing up their children.D. Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands. 30.The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that ________.A. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic childrenB. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced ageC. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodiesD. taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy31. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joan Galst?A. Approaching of death. B. Slowing down of their pace of life.C. Being laughed at by other people. D. Being mistaken for - 8 -grandparents. 32. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?A. They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.B. Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.C. Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.D. They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.DMany people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as “bracketing”. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires，to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing，it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance，the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way. The energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirect it in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic (有疗效的） ．In about a quarter of the patients I saw，surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of the psychotherapy（心理疗法） ，before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for - 9 -this phenomenon，but chief among them，I believe，was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to，often for the first time in years，and for some，perhaps for the first time ever.33．According to the author，in communication people tend to ______.A．listen actively B．set aside their prejudicesC．listen purposefully D．open up their inner mind34．According to the author，the patients improved mainly because ______.A．they were taken good care of B．they were willing to listen to othersC．they were truly listened to D．they knew the roots of problems35．What type of writing is the article likely to be?A．Science fiction. B．Popular science. C．A medical report. D．A news report.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。请把对应答案填涂到机读卡上。Every single human being on this planet has a path and purpose to fulfill, whether they realize it or not. 36 List what you love and connect the dots. 37 It may not make sense at first, but all of the things you enjoy doing are part of your path in one form or another, so grab a pen and a piece of paper and start writing. Once you have your list, take a step back and see how all these brilliant pieces might connect to the work you are meant to do.Identify what you do with ease. Often our passion and purpose are staring us right in the face, but it’s so natural to us that we don’t think anything about it. 38 Just because they are easy for you doesn’t mean that’s the case for everyone else. By identifying what comes naturally to you, you have the ability to build on your strengths and help others in ways you never thought possible.- 10 -39 Finding your passion is d
