The writer writes the passage in the tone(语气)of. A. hopeB. excitementC. disappointmentD. disfavor 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. (冒险). "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 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 importance 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. 72. The underlined word "cultivated" ( paragraph 1 ) roughly means ______. A. encouraged B. compared C. examined D. developed 73. 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 74. To be a good leader, you should ______. A. not be afraid of any risksB. think twice before taking risks C. try to avoid any possible failuresD. know what a thoughtless exercise is 75. 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 56—60.

James felt a rush blood to his face as he explained he would bring in his future wife to choose a birthday present.The assistant listened carefully and told him he'd better buy a necklace. He wasn't used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending. After some discussion as to reasonable price and type(类型), the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o'clock. When, half an hour later, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away, satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married. 71.A good title for this passage is ________. A. A Clever Assistant B. Buying a Birthday Present C. How to Choose a Necklace D. A Brave Young Man 72.The word "overspending" in this passage means ________.

Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information. It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly. "But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo(做过头)it. They should put communication(交际)first. 75.Language is used to ________. A. express oneself B. practice grammar rules B. talk with foreigners only D. learn lists of words 76."Foreigners often speak English too correctly. "This sentence means that ________.

A. what they use will become right B. they are against the law C. they should say sorry to others D. they will become heroes 78.When we speak a foreign language, we should ________.

We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws. The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you. Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet. Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing (人行横道)and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about litter(throwing away waste material in a public place). It is an offence (过错)to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age. I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.
