26、 Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands, respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can't be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.
Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?
Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat then like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity（慷慨）that’s never forgotten.
Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism（批评）, which often hurts rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees, “Catch people doing something right!” he says. Then tell everyone about it.
Take in formed risks. “The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thought less exercise,” says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz. “Sky divers don’t go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes beforehand.”
Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others to take charge. but if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail-and not die a thousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.
Encourage enthusiasm. “When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental strengths,” says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. That’s a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself-You will be followed by everyone.
【1】The underlined word “cultivated” (paragraph 1) roughly means ________.
A．compared
B．developed
C．examined
D．encouraged
【2】The part “Always give credit” tells us that a leader should ________.
A．praise everyone
B．give helpful criticism
C．regard others as real heroes
D．praise people for their good performances
【3】To be a good leader, you should _________.
A．not be afraid of any risks
B．think twice before taking risks
C．try to avoid any possible failures
D．know what a thoughtless exercise is
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Be a Leader
B．Not Many Can Be Leaders
C．Leadership Is Very Important
D．Leadership Is of Ski1ls and Techniques
27、For 52 years my father got up at 5:30 am every morning, went to work, and returned home at 5:30 pm. I never saw my father stayed home from work ill, nor did I ever see my father lay down to take a nap. He had no hobbies, other than taking care of his family. All he asked from me, his daughter, was to help him while he was repairing something, so we could have some time to talk.
For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me at 9:00 am every Sunday. Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea. Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swing set for my daughter.
On the morning of January 16, 1996, my sister telephoned me; my father was in the hospital with an aneurysm（动脉瘤） in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way I realized that I hadn't communicated with him as much as I'd always wanted to. I vowed（发誓） that when I arrived, I would have a long talk with him. I arrived in Florida at 1 am, only to find that my father, at the age of 76, had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.

28、 When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change.

29、 Getting a high grade in an exam depends partly on how much you can remember. So, improving memory is essential to success in studying. But is there anything that we can do about it? One solution might be walking backwards.
According to a new study published in the Journal of Cognition, walking backwards, whether doing it really or just imagining it, can boost (增强) the brainpower in the short term.
In the study, 114 volunteers were asked to watch a video in which a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video. Ten minutes after watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards 10 meters while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point. The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average than the other two groups. This suggests that a relationship between the concepts (概念) of time and space is essential to the way our minds form memories.
When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us. "This forces the brain to think in a different way—it's a rewiring and changes the focus," US neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) Christine Weber told Forbes. It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active and alert in the limited time. Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved significantly.
Apart from improving our memory, walking backwards also plays an important role in physical health, especially fitness. A study published in Journal of Biomechanics in 2012 found that backward walking puts less strain and requires a smaller range of movements from the knee joints (膝关节). Thus, there's less pressure and pain in the knees.
In addition, walking backwards, compared to forward walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles and movements that you probably rarely use, making it a perfect way to change your exercise routine for greater fitness gains. Meanwhile, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.
【1】Which group of people perform best in the memory test?
A.The staying-still group. B.The forwards-walking group.
C.The imaginary-walking group. D.The backwards-walking group.
【2】In what way does walking backwards benefit people's health?
A.It can make people slim. B.It can reduce peopled stress.
C.It can strengthen people's joints. D.It can make people more energetic.
【3】What do we know about backward walking?
A.It follows our exercise routine.
B.It limits people's thinking time.
C.It directs our focus to important details.
D.It makes people's brain more active and alert.
【4】What's the writer's purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A.To add another aspect of the topic.
B.To support the result of the research.
C.To sum up the main idea of the passage.
D.To provide some background information.

Chinese medical expert have warned that antibiotics （抗生素）are “ 【1】 overused” in hospitals, which may cause serious side-effects for the health of an entire generation.
