When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But 36 are these really, and how do 37 operate?

Leadership today is not about 38 others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short- term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something 39 their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will 40 more harm in the long term, and they will also experience fear.

Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to 41 at his or her best. If they associate you with this 42 of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, 43 possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. 44 has no place in leadership.

The way we influence people 45 a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, 46 may be part of the day work; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully 47 to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today's work place is all about 48 .

As a human being as 49 as a worker, everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders 50 the way things work. They know the pay check is not the 51 most motivating factor in the work life of most people. The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that 52 from the confidence of emotional intelligence--knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and 53 of others. Developing your emotional 54 is the single best thing you can do if you want to 55 your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.

36. A. where B. how C. what D. who 37.A. we B. they C. I D. you 38.A. forcing B. making C. hoping D. agreeing 39.A. with B. for C. according to D. against 40.A. do B. give C. make D. order 41.A. open B. carry C. function D. cause 42.A. sense B. emotion C. appearance D. absence 43.A. and B. so C. or D. but 44.A. Fear B. Employment C. Anger D. Affection 45.A. with B. in C. by D. through 46.A. what B. that C. which D. it 47.A. occurred B. addicted C. accustomed D. devoted 48.A. relationships B. powers C. motivations D. factors 49.A. well B. soon C. good D. far 50.A. teaches B. understand C. feels D. admires 51.A. just B. complete C. single D. effective 52.A. gets B. comes C. takes D. separates 53.A. that B. one C. those D. these 54.A. strength B. experience C. confidence D. intelligence 55.A. develop B. bring C. affect D. spread 36—40 CBADA 41—45 CADAB 46—50 CDAAB 51—55 CBCDA 第三部分 阅读理解： 第一节（30分）

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs．

The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, \"I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house.” It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy's high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.”

That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch．He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch．”

He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, \"See me after class.”

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.

In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on January 1st. People may go to parties, dress in formal clothes -- like tuxedos (小礼服) and evening gowns, and drink champagne at midnight. During the first minutes of the New Year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the New Year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the New Year with the first light of the sunrise.

It is also a common Western custom to make a New Year’s promise, called a resolution. New Year’s resolutions usually include promises to try something new or change a bad habit in the new year.

Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (again). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.

Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will

have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas (豇豆) for good luck -- but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them! 59．Which culture celebrates New Year in the morning?

You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．

Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．

When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．

Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．

Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible． 67．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______. A．make a comparison B．offer an evidence C．introduce a topic D．describe a daily scene 68． How can negative people have effect on us?

A．By influencing our emotion． B．By telling us the nature of life． C．By changing our ways of thinking．

D．By comparing their attitudes to life with ours．

69．Some negative people base their happiness on _______.

A．other people’s pity for them B．building up a positive attitude C．making other people unhappy D．other people’s respect for them 70．What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?

A．Favorable． B．Indifferent. C．Critical. D．Supportive. 第二节（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。选项中的两项为多余选项。

There was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 71 I found that the two paths were different from each other.

The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. 72 Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.

73 It wasn’t nice , but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 74

Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.

75 Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise! A. There is nothing that I want to see.

B. It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.

C. After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path.

D. “ Which way should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other. E. I told them what happened.

F. My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life.

G. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park.
