For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words.In( 16 )a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend( 17 )can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are( 18 )readers.Most of us develop poor reading( 19 )at an early age, and never get over them.The main deficiency( 20 )in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken individually, words have( 21 )meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.( 22 ), however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to( 23 )words or passages.Regression, the tendency to look back over( 24 )you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which( 25 )down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as( 26 )reads.

All her life, my mother wanted busy children.It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.
You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half written letter on the dining table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had "put it back where it belonged," as she explained.My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink.When she returned, she found the packet had been removed.Confused(疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared.Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks so as not to make water rings on the end tables.Now she knows better.
These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family.We were all inclined to (有……的傾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly."Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.
Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet.I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.
36.Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?
A.She enjoyed removing others' drinks.
B.She became more and more forgetful.

D.She wanted to keep her house in good order.

A.she had already finished them

38.The underlined part in the fourth paragraph suggests that my sister_______.
A.is happy to clean windows
B.loves to clean used windows
C.is fond of cleaning used windows
D.likes to clean windows as my mother did
39.This passage mainly tells us that_____.

When we think 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 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 functional 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 and use of emotion.We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the workday;or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation(積極性).Today's workplace 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.They know the paycheck is not the single most motivating factor (因素) 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.Developing your emotional 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.
40.An employee may have a feeling of fear in the workplace when_____.
A.he is forced to do things
B.be cannot work at his best
C.he feels his brain shut down
D.he thinks his work is too heavy
