文章主要讲述了作为一个领导者应该具有的一些品质。

13. Rending leadership literature, you’d sometimes think that everyone has the potential to be an effective lender.
I don’t believe that to, be true. In fact, there are fewer truly effective leaders, instead, I see many more leaders sadly incompetent, and seriously
misguided about their own abilities.
Part of the reason this happens is a lack of honest self-assessment by those w ho pursue leadership in the first place.
We’ve all met the type of individual who simply must take charge. Whether it’s a decision-making session, a basketball game, or a family outing, they can’t help grabbing the lead position. They believe they are natural born leaders.
Truth is, they’re nothing of the sort. True leaders don’t assume that it’s their divine (神圣的) right to take charge every time two or more people get together. Quite the opposite. A great leader will assess each situation and will only take charge when their position, the situation, or the needs of the moment demand it.
Many leaders confuse leadership with action. They believe that constant motion somehow generates leadership as a byproduct (副产品). Faced with any situation that can’t be solved by the force of activity, they generate a dust cloud of impatience. Their one leadership tool is volume: if they think you aren’t working as hard as they think you should, their demands become increasingly louder and rougher.
True leaders understand the value of action, of course, but it isn’t their only tool. In fact, it isn’t ever their primary tool. Great leaders see more than everyone else: answers, solutions, patterns, problems, opportunities. They know it’s vitally important to do, but they also know that thinking, understanding, are equally important.
If you’re too concerned with outcomes, you aren’t leading at all, you’re dictating (独裁). A true leader is someone who develops his or her team so that they can hit their targets and achieve their goals.
1. What does the author think of the leaders he knows?
A．Many of them are used to taking charge.B．Few of them are equal to their positions.
C．Many of them fail to fully develop their potential.D．Few of them are familiar with leadership literature.
2. Why are some people eager to grab leadership positions?
A．They believe they have the natural gift to lead.B．They believe in what leadership literature says.
C．They have proved competent in many situations.D．They get great satisfaction from being leaders.
3. What characterizes a great leader according to the author?
A．Being able to take immediate action when chances present themselves.
B．Having a whole - hearted devotion to their divine responsibilities.
C．Having a full understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses.
D．Being able to assess the situation carefully before taking charge.
4. How will many leaders respond when their command fails to generate action?
A．They reassess the situation at hand.B．They become impatient and rude.
C．They adopt any tool available.D．They blame their team members.
5. What is the author’s advice to leaders?
A．Concentrate on one specific task at a time.B．Use different tools to achieve different goals.
C．Build up a strong team to achieve their goals.D．Show determination when faced with tough tasks.
14. Laughter is part of the universal human vocabulary. All members of the human species understand it. Unlike English or French or Swahili, we don’t have to learn to speak it. We re born with the capacity to laugh.
V ery little is known about the specific brain mechanisms responsible for laughter. Contrary to folk wisdom, most laughter is not about humor; it is about relationships. To find out when and why people laugh, I went with several assistants to local malls and recorded what happened just before people laughed. Over a 10-year period, we studied over 2,000 cases of naturally occurring laughter.
We found that most laughter does not necessarily follow jokes. People may laugh after a variety of statements, such as, “Here comes Mary,”“How did you do on the test?” or “Do you have a rubber band?” These certainly aren’t jokes.
We believe laughter evolved from the panting (喘气的) behavior of our ancient ancestors. Today, if we tickle (使发痒) chimps, they don’t laugh. But, instead, they produce a panting sound. That’s the sound of ape laughter, and it’s the root of human laughter.
Apes laugh in the kinds of situations that lead to human laughter, like games that involve chasing. Other animals produce sounds during play, but they are so different from laughter. Rats, for example, produce high sounds during play and when tickled, but these are very different in sound from human laughter.
Laughter is often positive, but it can be negative too. There’s a difference between “laughing with” and “laughing at”. People who laugh at others may be trying to drive them out of the group.
No one has actually counted how much people of different ages laugh, but young children probably laugh the most. At ages 5 and 6 we probably laugh more than at any other times. Adults laugh less than children, probably because they play less.
Work now underway will tell us more about the brain mechanisms behind laughter, how it has evolved, and why we’re so susceptible to tickling.
1. What was the purpose of the decade’s research?
A．To prove that people laugh because of humour.
B．To find out the real reason for people s laughter.
C．To research people s different reaction on jokes.
D．To record conversations among shoppers in malls.
2. What can we learn from the text?
A．People who play more tend to laugh more.
B．Apes produce high sounds when tickled.
C．Scientists know the brain mechanisms responsible for laughter well.
D．The situations in which apes laugh are very different from those in which humans laugh.
3. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Sensitive.B．Flexible.
C．Addictive.D．Reliable.
4. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A．The Impact of Laughter
B．The Meaning of Laughter
C．A Big Mystery: Why Do We Laugh?
D．Laughter: The Most Beautiful Words

文章主要讲述了作者的职业之旅，受家庭的熏陶，作者接受了科学的训练，获得了博士后学位。

同时也在追求科学的基础上实现了自己对于艺术的追求，找到了理想的职业。

15. Three years into my postdoc (博士后), I started to wonder whether I needed a new career plan. After applying for more than two dozen teaching jobs, I hadn’t landed a single interview.
I had once considered going to art school but had put that idea to the side when I decided to pursue chemistry as an undergraduate. In the years that followed, I kept up my interest in art by taking painting classes at night. My family was bursting with mathematicians, computer programmers, and engineers, so it felt natural to have my daily life center around science.
But in the spring after my failed job search, that started to change after a friend excitedly showed me proofs of a review article. She was astonished by what the journal’s scientific illustrator had done with her fundamental sketches (速写). “That would be such a fun job.” I thought.
I decided to test out a new career direction by volunteering to create similar illustrations for my institute’s newsletters. I spent my nights and weekends reading scientific papers and thinking about how to illustrate the results. It was a fun task. I felt I was perhaps on the right path. But could I make a full-time career work?
Searching online, I tracked down people who had that kind of job. I found many had training through scientific illustration master’s degree programs. After living on graduate student and postdoctoral salaries for years, I didn’t have enough money saved up for the programs, so I decided to get a certificate in digital design.
I now work as a visual designer at a biomedical research institute where I spend my days working with research to communicate their work
visually. I love the fact that I get to combine my scientific and artistic sides.
1. Why did the author attend classes at night?
A．To please her family.B．To pursue her hobby.
C．To pass her undergraduate tests.D．To complete optional courses in art.
2. What effect did the proofs have on the author?
A．They shook her belief in science.
B．They tested out what she learned in class.
C．They motivated her to find a new career direction.
D．They gave her inspiration for her scientific paper.
3. What prevented the author seeking a scientific illustration master’s degree?
A．Her financial difficulties.B．Her busy schedule.
C．Her new interest in digital design.D．Her lack of confidence.
4. How does the author feel about her current job?
A．Pressured.B．Curious.C．Desperate.D．Satisfied.
