Leadership is t he most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal abilities and style. Experts on leadership will quickly point out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker, coined the phrase“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things”, he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms. When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number
of highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic(道德准则) and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one’s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership means that managers need to “put first things first,” which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.
1. What does Peter Drucker’s phrase infer?
A. Leaders should be good at making right decisions.
B. Leaders should be good at doing things right.
C. Leaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the terms.
D. Leaders should be skilled in predicting future.
2. Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests ?
A. When people have little determination , they will be successful.
B. When people have good behaviour, they will gain success.
C. If people have positive mental attitude , they are likely to succeed.
D. If people have negative mental attitude , they are certain to succeed.
3. How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to Stephen Covey?
A. Firstly they have to think highly of themselves.
B. They are supposed to benefit themselves.
C. They can not adjust themselves.
D. First personally they must manage themselves .
4. What is the meaning of the underlined word “vision”?
A. Bright future.
B. Good beginning.
C. Good scenery.
D. Pretty background.
5. To be good leaders , what must managers pay close attention to ?
A. They must pay close attention to universal principles of effectiveness.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Mark Rothko, one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century, was born in Daugavpils, Latvia in 1903. His family immigrated to the United States in 1913, after a 12-day voyage.
Mark moved to New York in the autumn of 1923 and found employment in the garment trade and settled down on the Upper West Side. It was while he was visiting someone at the Art Students League that he saw students painting a model. According to him, this was the start of his life as an artist. He was twenty years old and had taken some art lessons at school, so his initial experience was far from an immediate calling. In 1936, Mark Rothko began writing a book, which he never completed, about the similarities in the children’s art and the work of modern painters. The work of modernists, which was influenced by primitive art, could, according to him, be compared to that of children in that “Child art transforms itself into primitivism, which is only the child producing a copy of himself.” In this same work, he said that “The fact that one usually begins with drawing is already academic. We start with color.”
It was not long before his multiform developed into the style he is remembered for. In 1949 Rothko exhibited these new works at the Betty Parsons Gallery. For reviewer Harold Rosenberg, the paintings were unique and primitive. Rothko had, after painting his first multiform, separated himself from the world in East Hampton on Long Island, only inviting a very few people, including Rosenberg, to view the new paintings. The discovery of his works’ specialty came at a period of great sorrow: his mother Kate died in October 1948. As part of this new uniformity of artistic vision, his paintings no longer had individual titles. From this point on they were simply untitled, numbered or dated. However, to assist in distinguishing one work from another, traders would sometimes add the primary colors to the name. Additionally, for the next few years, Rothko painted in oil only on large vertical tents. This was done to surround
the viewer, or, in his words, to make the viewer feel enveloped within the picture.
68. When did Rothko want to be an artist?
A. When he immigrated to the U.S.A.
B. When he watched students drawing.
C. When he moved to the Upper West Side.
D. When he joined the Art Students League. 【答案】B
