10、dles. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
11、But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, th
12、e Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages o
13、f the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in Chin
14、a are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not soon
15、 be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.21.

17、k of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do
18、 it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less fun
19、ctional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership. The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding a
20、nd use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation (积极性). Todays work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in
21、a positive environment in which theyre recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work life of most people.Th
22、e true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships wit
23、h people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.24. The underlined phrase “shooting oneself in the foot” means _ in this passage. A. throw or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objective B. to injure or harm ones own interests C. to move or pass suddenly or swiftly D.
24、to grow forth from the ground25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. People tend to associate leadership with fear. B. Working conditions affect peoples physical health. C. Good relationship is the key to business success. D. Smart people are more functional in the work place

A. hide his own emotion of fear B. provide better suggestions C. give his employees a pay raise D. develop his own personality27. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leaders ability to_. A. provide a variety of project for emplo
26、yees B. help raise employees living standards C. deal wisely with employees emotions D. give employees specific instructions（指导） CDuring the rosy years of elementary school, I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then
27、came my tweens and teens,and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinic
28、al psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then theres the kind of populari
29、ty that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior. Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinsteins studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to
30、 engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior”. In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and. the highest in status based on student surveys . “We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over t
31、ime toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.”Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date- sharing, kin
32、dness, openness - carry over to later years and. make you better able to relate and connect with others.In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for t those outcomes, too. “Bein
33、g liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage,” he said.32. What sort of girl was the author in early years of elementary schoo1?A. Generous. B.Lone1y C.Unkind. D.Cool.33.Whatisthesecondparagraph mainly about?A.Theimportance ofi

More SelfControl, Less Aggressive DThe market for ride sharing is starting to look like a pie-eating competition where the prize is
36、more pie.Lyft went public on March 29,and the stock (股票) almost immediately went into a quick drop as money-providers noticed that the company hadnt made any money yet and didnt h pave any clear plans to do so.On April 11, Uber went public in the stock market too. The company said it commands more t
37、han 50 percent of the ride-hailing(叫车服务) market in America and Europe-and had an operating loss of $3 billion last year, about three times as much as Lyft lost.Think about that: those two companies lost nearly $4 billion in a single year transporting people.Whats happening in the ride-sharing market
38、 is special in a number of ways.First, it offers what is called “network effects”: The more riders you have, the easier it is to attract and send drivers, and the more drivers you have, the more riders you will attract. Markets that display network effects prefer to benefit a few players, and possib
39、ly only one.Second, ride sharing has no changing costs. Its simple to get both apps on your phones, and many riders and drivers do just that, which means fierce competition over every single ride.There are only two ways that the price war can end. Either Uber or Lyft come to some sort of agreement t
40、o stop selling their services below cost, or at least one of the companies may need to die.And so the pie-eating competition may continue forever, until everyone bursts. There may finally be no route to money for these companies, no payoff for money-providers. The number of major ride-riding compani
41、es may not be two, or even one, but none.32. What do we know about “network effects”? A. More riders will attract more drivers. B. More players will crowd the market. C.

44、luating Sources (来源) of health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevan
45、t information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 36 Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and deter
46、mine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 37 Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 38 Carefully read or listen
47、to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 39 Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术). 40 Friends and family members
