It certainly makes sense that handling a market shift or anything alike require intelligence. But new research on leadership suggests that, at a certain point, having a higher IQ stops helping and starts hurting.Although previous research has shown that groups with smarter leaders perform better by objective measures, some studies have suggested that followers might subjectively view leaders with extremely high intellect as less effective. Decades ago, Dean Simonton, a psychologist from the University of California, Davis, proposed that brilliant leaders' words may simply go over people's heads, their solutions could be more complicated to carry out and followers might find it harder to relate to them. Now Simonton and two colleagues have finally tested that idea, publishing their results in the July 2017 issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology.The researchers looked at 379 male and female business leaders in 30 countries across fields including banking, retail and technology. The managers took IQ tests and each was rated (定级) on leadership style and effectiveness by an average of eight co-workers. IQ positively correlated(和…正相关) with ratings of leader effectiveness, strategy formation, vision and several other characteristics—up to a point. The ratings peaked at an IQ of around 120, which is higher than roughly 80 percent of office workers. Beyond that, the ratings declined. The researchers suggest the "ideal" IQ could be higher or lower in various fields, to 140 or 100, depending on whether technical or social skills are more valued in a given work culture."It's an interesting and thoughtful paper," says Paul Sackett, a management professor at University of Minnesota, who was not involved in the research."To me, the right interpretation of the work would be that it highlights a need to understand what high-IQ leaders do that leads to lower understanding by followers," he says. "The wronginterpretation would be, ‘Don't hire high-IQ leaders."The study's lead author, John Antonakis, a psychologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, suggests leaders should use their intelligence to use creative language that will persuade and inspire others—the way former U.S. President Barack Obama did. "I think the only way a smart person can signal their intelligence properly and still connect with the people," Antonakis says, "is to speak in charming ways."21．According to the first paragraph, we know that _______.A. leaders with high IQ do not have effective leadershipB. effective business depends on the intelligence of leadersC. leaders with higher IQ may do harm to group effectivenessD. the higher IQ leaders have, the stronger leadership they possess22．According to Simonton, managers with an IQ of about ________ are probably the most effective.A. 80B. 100C. 120D. 14023．What is Paul Sackett's attitude towards hiring high-IQ leaders?A. Unconcerned.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.24．Barack Obama is mentioned in the last paragraph to ________.A. encourage us to learn more about leadershipB. explain how intelligent people achieve successC. show creativity is more important than intelligenceD. emphasize the importance of using intelligence properlyGarden parties are one of the traditions that began in the United Kingdom and France a number of centuries ago. Both the British and French versions have roots in the weekend getawaysthat were enjoyed by the upper classes. In the afternoons and evenings, the grounds of the estates (房产) would be softly lit with candles and lanterns, food prepared and set in long buffet tables for the guests, and comfortable seating always within reach.People tended to dress up for these types of outdoor events, which made them quite a festive occasion. String bands often provided a graceful melody that served as one of the ways that the elegant tone of the occasion was set and maintained.Today, the concept lives on around the world. No longer just an event for the well to do, the garden party is a weekend gathering in many neighborhoods. Neighbors are invited to come enjoy the outdoors by attending a cookout, complete with plenty of grilled food, lots of seating, and usually plenty to drink. It is not unusual for a few simple games to be available as well, depending on the size of the space. Music does not necessarily have to be provided by a live band anymore, although some people prefer the chatter and laughter of people enjoying themselves to any type of musical accompaniment.The modern version can be very free form, or use a special occasion or theme as the basis for the event. For example, a birthday is a great reason to throw this type of party. Major patriotic holidays often provide the theme, with the decorations revolving around the national c olors and other symbols. Fun times, such as Valentine’s Day or and Easter egg hunt, can also be the reason for putting together a party. As long as the event takes place outdoors, has people to interact, and includes food and drink, the event is complete. 25．Why did the upper classes hold garden parties centuries ago?A. To entertain themselves.B. To get away from home.C. To show off their estates.D. To know other upper class people.26．What do we know about garden parties that are held today?A. They are still held mainly for the rich.B. They have very different concepts now.C. They always have live band performances.D. They can be enjoyed by common people.27．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Garden parties have become informal today.B. Garden parties have various themes today.C. Garden parties are usually held on birthdays.D. Garden parties are not always held outdoors.28．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. History of Garden PartiesB. Garden Parties TodayC. Customs of Garden PartiesD.
