Part Ⅰ. Reading Comprehension (40%)
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
The qualities of leadership are almost constant the world over. If you would like to become president of your class, school, or student council, you must first demonstrate that you have the potentials of leadership.
For one thing, you must show that you are interested in your school and in your fellow students.In practical terms, this means taking an active part in school activities, it means joining clubs, attending dances and other social functions, and going out for athletics---if you are athletic, but many young people have to push themselves to join clubs or attend dances. Perhaps you are one of them. The basic reason for this hesitance is natural shyness. There is nothing permanent affliction, and if you realize, too, that most of your schoolmates are probably as shy as you are.
If you consciously strive to overcome shyness by going out to meet people, you will find yourself at the same time developing another quality of leadership---understanding. As your circle of friends and contacts widens you will get to know your schoolmates better. Because you are no longer so concerned with your own feelings, you will begin to respect and take into account the feelings of others. Your friends and acquaintances will be aware of your new attitude, for it will show in many small ways---your greeting, conversation, and willingness to give and accept friendship.
Another quality of leadership which you can develop is willingness to do a bit extra. If you are expected to sell ten tickets to a dance, for example, and sell fifteen, you have proved your interest and your effort to make your organization
successful. Once you acquire the reputation of always doing a little more than expected, your fellow students will be wiling to trust you with greater responsibilities. All your extra effort also indicates enthusiasm, and shows that you concentrate more on ho3w to do a job efficiently than on its difficulties.
A fourth quality of leadership is imagination---the ability to see a way through problems and to develop new ideas. You can develop this all-important quality by devoting extra thought during quiet moments to problems being faced by your organization. Many members of a club sit passively through a meeting, and give no more thought to club matters until the next meeting. But if you take time during the week to think over the last meeting, you are likely to come up with new ideas (or at least some questions) to contribute at the next meeting.
As you show that you are interested in your school or organization, that you have understanding and respect for your schoolmates, and that you will work hard and use your imagination, your schoolmates will naturally think of you as one of their leaders. When the time comes for election of class or student body officers, you will be mentioned as a possible candidate by your closer friends, and this word will reach other groups until you are given a chance to declare yourself a candidate without seeming immodest.

As he started to make out the ticket, the woman behind the wheel said haughtily, "Before you go any further, young man. I think you should know that the mayor of this city is a good friend of mine." The officer did not say a word, but kept writing. "I am also a friend of chief of police Barnes," continued the woman, getting more indignant each moment. Still he kept on writing. "Young man." She persisted, "I know Judge Lawson and State Senator Patton." Handing the ticket to the woman, the officer askedpleasantly, "Tell me, do you know Bill Bronson?"

So they started many tree-planting programs that went on for years and years. Finally, in 1872 a newspaperman named J.SterlingMorton had an idea. Why not have a special day set aside for planting trees?

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.
If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market.If your father is a steelworker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.
When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas station, and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.
The market may seem to be something abstract. But for each person or business who is making and selling something, it's very real.
