It simply would not leave him alon
11、eWherever he went, the bird went too. At last, in desperation (绝望) the man walked into a police station“Excuse me, officer” he said “I need some advice. I met this penguin in the street and I dont know what to do with it”A bored policeman looked up from what he was writing and said, “Just take it to
12、 the zoo, sir“Oh，all rightsaid the manThe next day the man was walking along the street, still accompanied (陪伴) by the penguin, when he met the policeman hed spoken to the day beforeThe policeman was not pleased to see them“I thought I advised you to take that animal to the zoo, ” he said“Well, yes,
13、 officer, you didAnd I did take him to the zoo, ” the man explained. “And we had a great time But we cant go to the zoo every dayI thought today Id take him to the movies21Which of the following expressions can be used to describe the penguin?AUgly looking BBeautiful in heartCSilly in look DFriendly

15、d to the zooCThe policeman who received the man was not patient with himDThe policeman felt sorry for not giving any helpBIts rare that you see the words shyness and leader in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and e
16、xcellent networkers and that those shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shytheyre just better at adap
17、ting themselves to situational demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few innies.Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking, shy people take a cautious approach to chance. Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gatheri
18、ng, shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak. Theyre not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share a common love of learning. They are intrinsi
19、cally（内在地） motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut in? Then what happened? Everyone turned aroun
20、d to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence：they own the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty. Not to say that limelight-seekers arent mo
21、dest, but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones, theyre more comfortable working
22、with little information and sticking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that arent primarily apparent. Dont believe me? Maybe youll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, Its not that Im so smart, its that I stay with problems longer. Obviously, f
23、inding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the ra
24、nge you fall on.24We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _.A. shy people are sensitive to rewardsB. shy people care more about contentC. outgoing people are more careful about chancesD. outgoing people consider what to learn while listening25The example of Johnny shows _.A. shy people are likely to be m

27、t explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides
28、more comfort than a husband/wife. A study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, wi
29、th a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other
30、companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital
31、spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more t

Dog owners didnt lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.28What does the text mainly discuss?APets value in medical research.BHow pets help people calm down.CPeoples o

The idea was to reunite Europe
36、 after the Second World War.At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.Soon,groups of students firstl

And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theater groups performing,some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today ther

55、the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.When Should a Leader Apologize and When Not？Why Difficult？When we wrong someone we know，even not intentionally，we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation. But when were acting
56、as leaders，the circumstances are different. The act of apology is carried out not only at the level of the individual but also at the level of the institution. It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record. Refusing to apologize can be smart，o
57、r it can be stupid. So，readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness. A successful apology can turn hate into personal and organizational harmonywhile an apology that is too little，too late，or too obviously strategic can bring on individual and institution
58、al ruin. What，then，is to be done？How can leaders decide if and when to apologize publicly？Why Now？The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more urgent. During the last decade or so，the United States in particular has developed an apology cultureapologies of all kinds
59、and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more frequently than before. More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of public apologies. More articles，cartoons，advice columns，and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of private apologies.Why Both
60、er？Why do we apologize？Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult，embarrassing，and even risky？Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target. They are expected to appear strong and capable. And whenever they make public statements of any kind，their individual and insti
61、tutional reputations are in danger. Clearly，then，leaders should not apologize often or lightly. For a leader to express apology，there needs to be a good，strong reason. Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so.Why Refuse？Why
62、 is it that leaders so often refuse to apologize，even when a public apology seems to be in order？Their reasons can be individual or institutional. Because leaders are public figures，their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky. Leaders may also be afraid th
63、at the admission of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which they are responsible. There can be good reasons for hanging tough in tough situations，as we shall see，but it is a high-risk strategy.Public apology is much more than a(an) 61act.Its no 62 job to strike a balance between
64、apologizing or not.Apologies not 63offered can bring on individual and institutional ruin.Why has the issue of public apology been so 64 now in USA? In an 65， admission of all sorts of wrongdoings is more required than before.The 66 of public apologies has been widely reported in the mass media. Bei
