We all have weaknesses and strengths—no matter who we are .Some get sick easily.

Some are 36  people in communication, struggling with 37 .

Sometimes weaknesses seem to outweigh (胜过)the strengths and sometimes it’s the other way around. 38  ,facing huge limitations, many people tend to 39  it  as just bad luck ---but not everyone. Those who rise over their weaknesses can still manage to 40  extraordinary things.

I 41  a school prize –giving ceremony and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft, 42had a severe stutter (结巴 ) as a child . 43  allowing this to limit  him , he chose to overcome it. Now he is a famous judge . Not only 44  he become  successful, but he did so in a profession 45  he had to speak before others regularly. Had he not worked on his 46  ability, it would have been very limiting to his success in life and work.

Many people face far huger limitations, such as loss 47  legs or arms , being born extremely poor, 48you do. But whatever the limitation, you’ll 49find people who have overcome it. Helen Keller, who fell 50and lost  her sight and hearing at 19 months old, worked hard to be a famous woman with great 51  .

If one of them had told you what they hoped to achieve, you would have nodded kindly while 53  thinking to yourself that they had no chance . And yet the results speak for 54  .

Though most of us will never have to face such challenges , yet most of us will never achieve to the 55  that these people have either if we never seriously think of what we can do.

When 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-tern, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do 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 .his 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 m 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. Today’s work place is all about relationships.

Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re 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.

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.

“Chances are we have all experienced shyness in our lives, and shyness has been associated with negative outcomes—characteristics like difficulty maintaining eye contact, and feelings of humiliation(丢脸) are known to be part of a shy person’s characters. It’s these traits that tend to affect some shy individuals’ ability to connect,” says C. Barr Taylor, a professor of psychology at Stanford University.

“But while shyness can often be seen as a bad thing, there are ways to use the personality trait to your advantage,” Taylor says. Below are some common shy habits and how you can learn to make them benefit you:

Shy people usually reflect inwardly (在内心) a lot. But according to Taylor,all that thinking may not always be a bad thing and it should be viewed as a way you can think actively as you go into a situation. So, for shy people who feel worried about facing a particular challenge or event, Taylor advises slowly approaching the fearful situation if you start to feel anxious. By facing what you are not feeling secure about, Taylor says, you will feel less anxious. “Our brains are amazing—they can become well adapted,” he says. “If you put yourself in a fearful situation, you will get a sense that you are going to do it.” What’s more, shy individuals care deeply about what others think of them, and if it is addressed healthily, they can use it to their advantage to form social connections.

Shy people are observant and often pick up on parts of their conversation or surroundings that others may not. “Just because you are shy, that does not mean you are not used to social situations,” Taylor says. “It can actually become a source of strength as you are the observer in the room.” In a study out of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, researchers found an association between college-age adults who were shy and the ability to better identify expressions of sadness and fear compared with those who weren’t shy. In addition, a shy person has a born drive to absorb a conversation, so they can be great at conversation.

1.In the opinion of C. Barr Taylor, we should 　　 .

A.think positively of shyness

B.try to get rid of shyness

C.attempt to be a little shy

D.often help those shy people

2.The passage mentions the study by Southern Illinois University just to show that 　　 .

A.shy people use rich facial expressions

B.shy people are good at observing others

C.shyness can be used to reduce anxiety

D.shyness can be used in social connections

3.We can know from the passage that shy people 　　 .

A.are good at getting used to a new environment

B.often attach much importance to others’ opinions

C.hate to think a lot before taking an action

D.are good at overcoming their feeling of insecurity

We all know that theme parks are places to have fun and amuse ourselves, but among so many exciting rides there are also some dangers. Make sure you know what the safety standards are for all the attractions at the park. If you do that, you will be safe and have fun.

Drink water. Believe it or not, dehydration—when your body doesn’t have enough water—is the commonest cause of injuries at theme parks. Drinking water while you are at the park is not enough. You must make sure that you drink enough water before your visit.

Use your “common sense”. There are lots of people around, so make sure where your friends or family are. Also, if you are walking and want to stop, make sure nobody is walking behind you. First step aside, then look behind and if you aren’t in anybody’s way, then stop. It might sound exaggerated(夸张的), but crashes between people can cause accidents.

Follow the instructions. The majority of theme parks have instructions for each ride. Some rides only allow people of a certain height. So make sure you are not too tall or too short before boarding any ride. Also, people with certain diseases or conditions are advised not to go on some rides. Do remember: If you are told not to go on a ride, then DON’T.

Do not ride with a bad stomach or if you’ve just eaten. Rides can make you ill because of their violent changes of direction and your lunch may end up on someone else’s head: surely not a very pleasant experience.

Have fun, relax, and be a little brave!

Some rides might look scary but theme parks are very safe places.

1.What is the leading reason for injuries at theme parks?

A.snow B.dehydration

C.fire D.crashes

2.Which of the following will the author accept?

A.Children should not play in theme parks.

B.One shouldn’t eat anything before riding.

C.One must always stay with his friends or family in theme parks.

D.One must read the instructions before playing in theme parks.

3.According to the author,____.

A.it doesn’t pay to go to theme parks

B.men are more interested in theme parks than women

C.people can have lots of fun in theme parks

D.shy people should not go to theme parks

Most, if not all, Chinese have become richer thanks to 28 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?

　Various surveys attempt to answer this question. Though experts have presented varying percentages based on different standards, their answers tend to find we are generally happier, and the number of optimists rises each year. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences’ 2006 Blue Book on social progress says 70 per cent of rural and urban citizens surveyed in 2005 reported a feeling of happiness and were optimistic about their futures.

　But each survey shows a worrisome fact that 10 per cent, at the lowest, of citizens were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future. We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy.

　Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury（奢望）for many of our countrymen because of poverty, we agree wealth is not the only factor of happiness. For most of us, except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists, there simply are too many variables (可变物) that may kill the feeling of happiness. These include, but are not limited to, rising housing prices, tight and instable job market, back-breaking schooling expenses and medical bills.

The most common one, however, is a low sense of security (安全). Some experts pointed that in the low-and-middle income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment, income, housing, medical situations, and education. How can you feel happy when you always have to prepare yourself for the unexpected?

It may be beyond the government’s reach, not to mention duty, to guarantee (保证) higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.

1.From the second paragraph we learn _____________________.

2.The following factors of happiness are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _________.

3.The underlined word “countrymen” in Paragraph 3 refers to ___________.

4. According to the passage, the author tends to hold the view that _________.
