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

C．examined
D．encouraged
【2】The part “Always give credit” tells us that a leader should ________.
A．praise everyone

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

27、 The American Craftsman style is a type of design. It was popular from 1900 to the 1930s. It changed the style of building in the United States.
The craftsman style originally began in Europe. The British Arts and Crafts style arose in the 1860s. The unique designs of this movement tried to offer dignity to the common person. Handmade items were preferred because they were thought better than items that were mass-produced. But this British style was still Victorian. It still only served the wealthiest clients.
In 1897 a group of Boston architects brought these handcrafted styles to American. They planned a show of craft objects, which turned out to be a huge success. Here they realized the potential and established the Society of Arts and Crafts on June 28, 1897. Its slogan was “to develop and encourage higher standards in the handicrafts.”
The American style began as the Victorian Era was ending. It emphasized handmade work. Originality and simplicity were highly valued. Local materials and the quality of the handicraft were very important. these traits were meant to dignify the modest homes of the middle class.
These simple designs used glass and wood that were produced locally. They were also very elegant. The metalwork was a reaction to Victorian Opulence. The increase of mass-produced housing items was rejected. The American Craftsman used clean lines. It also relied on sturdy structure. Natural materials were always used in these houses if possible.
This style introduced many changes to the average American home. New designs were made for families without servants. This was a trait of the new middle class. The kitchen went form being a hidden room to a prominent one. Another development was the breakfast nook. This new area provided the family with a place to gather at any time of day.
Also, inspirational to the Craftsman style were the Shaker and Mission designs. The American Craftsman style led to the Art Deco Movement of the 1930s.

28、Find Your Self-worth
Do you measure your personal self-worth based on what others think of you? Do you work really hard to make others like or support you? Do you lack confidence? 【1】Increasing self image will help build your confidence and your personal self-worth. So how?
Pay attention to your body language. How you hold your physical body has an effect on how others see you and on how you personally feel. Similarly, how you feel often determines your body language and your outward behavior.【2】A simple way is to check your body language. Stand tall with your head held high, shoulders squared, back straight and legs solid; you will feel more in control.
Develop your own measuring stick【3】 Don’t let others influence your view of success or happiness. Take time out to recognize your achievements no matter how big or small they are. Keep track of your achievements and proud moments in a journal. If you keep a personal journal or even a work journal, start writing in the journal from back to front keeping track of all the little and big things that happen every day.
【4】 Here’s a simple exercise you can do to gain a richer way of thinking on how you are sensed by others. Start by taking a close look at yourself and create a list of your unique strengths. Who are you? 【5】Ask friends, families to share with you what they see as your key characteristics.
Now you know that you’re more than you think you are. So, create a positive picture of your future and then confidently move forward.
A.Know your worth.
B.The two go hand in hand.
C.What sets you apart from others?
D.Are you beating yourself up with your own language?

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the top, ate the apples, sleep under the tree...He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by...The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day.
One day, the boy came back to the tree, looking quite sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid. I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money...but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after that. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.“Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches (树枝) to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was lonely and sad again.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!” the tree said.“I am sad and getting tired. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk (树干) to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
