42、ate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire.

Todays work place is all about relationships 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.
46、 They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.The 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 .

47、tional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.47.

50、of project for employeesB. help raise employees living standardsC. give employees specific instructionsD. deal wisely with employees emotionsEThe hardest languagePeople often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into c
51、onsideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally. 5 1 A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chi
52、nese is very different. 5 2 The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. 5 3 Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learners motivation for learning. If peo
53、ple learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.Apparently, British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese, which will probab
54、ly come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian, which has 35 forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject, object, etc. 5 4 In the case of Hungarian for British learners, it is not a question of the writing system, which uses a si
55、milar alphabet, but the grammatical complexity, though native speakers of related languages may find it easier, while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy.No language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a com
56、pletely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. 5 5 A. In this case, first language can affect learning a second language.B. Therefore, it is difficult to gain a good knowledge of every language.C. Some people seem to l
57、earn languages readily, while others find it very difficult.D. This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone.E. Individuals from different cultures will find different languages more difficult.F. It is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most di
58、fficult language in the world.G. So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.第卷（ 非选择题 共35分） 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假如英语课上老师要求同学们交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误， 要求你在错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），在其下面写上该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜

This is only my suggestion and its up to you to decide. Hope to hear from you again.
