Are You a Successful Leader?

1 Almost nothing we do in this world is done in isolation.At work or at play,you'll find yourself in
groups,working with other people:your team at work,a meeting with colleagues,your family,a holiday with
friends,a group of students working together,a day out walking in the mountains,a group of neighbours want-
ing to make changes.It is now recognized that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the
major keys to success,partly because we need to do it so often.
2 In almost every situation where you're in a group,you will need a skilled leader. All groups need
leaders and all successful groups have good leaders.Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost
always break down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel dissatisfied and frustrated.Time is wasted
and the tasks are not achieved.There are often arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to
keep the goals clear. Some personalities dominate and others disappear. Often group members begin not to
come to meetings in order to avoid more disharmony.
3 Some people are natural leaders.The celebrity chef,Antonio Carluccio says,"True leaders are born
and you can spot them in kitchens."They're people who combine toughness,fairness and humour. Although
a lot of people agree that there are some natural-born leaders,most people now recognize that leadership can
also be taught.Our professional and experienced staff can train almost anyone how to be a successful leader.
Good leaders don't make people do things in a bossy,controlling way.You can learn how to involve everyone,
encouraging the whole group to work towards a common goal.
4 Our training courses use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are necessary
to be a good leader. Seff-confidence is vital and being able to overcome your own fears about being a leader.
Successful leaders also need to be calm and intelligent.They need to be able to work out good strategies and
make sound judgements under pressure.Lastly,and probably most importantly,good leaders need to be sensi-
tive,sociable and be able to get on with a wide range of people.Good leadership is essentially the ability to
influence others and good leaders allow all members of the group to contribute.

A:A Good Leader Needs a Variety of Qualities
B:These Techniques are Used to Train Leaden
C:Training can Make Good Leaders
D:Most of Good Leaders are Natural-born
E:It's Important to Have a Good Leader

Human Evolution

Being a man has always been dangerous.There are about 105 males born for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity,and among 70-year-old there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal of male mortality is being changed.Now,boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that,for the first time,there will be an excess of boys in those crucial years when they are searching for a mate. More important,another chance for natural selection has been removed. Fifty years ago,the chance of a baby(particularly a boy baby)surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death.Today it makes almost no difference.Since much of the variation is due to genes,one more agent of evolution has gone.
There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide:stay alive,but have fewer children.Few people are as fertile as in the past. Except in some religious communities,very few women have 15 children.Nowadays the number of births,like the age of death,has become average.Most of us have roughly the same number of offspring. Again,differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished.India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples.The grand mediocrity of today一everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring means that natural selection has lost 80%of its power in upper-middle一class India compared to the tribes.
For us,this means that evolution is over;the biological Utopia has arrived.Strangely,it has involved little physical change.No other species fills so many places in nature.But in the past 100,000 years一even the past 100 years一our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We did not evolve,because machines and society did it for us.Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution:"they look at an organic being as savage looks at a ship,as at something wholly beyond his comprehension."No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. But however amazed our descendants may be at how far from Utopia we were,they will look just like us.

The author argues that our bodies have stopped evolving because______.
A:life has been improved by technological advance
B:the number of female babies has been declining
C:our species has reached the highest stage of evolution
D:the difference between wealth and poverty is disappearing

Intelligence makes for better leaders-from undergraduates to executives to presidents-according to multiple studies.It certainly l that handling a market shift or legislative logjam requires high cognitive abilities.But new research on leadership suggests that,at a certain point,having a higher io can be viewed as 2.3 previous research has shown that groups with smarter leaders perform better by 4 measures,some studies have 5 that followers might subjectively view leaders with extremely high intellect as less effective.Decades ago Dean Simonton,a psychologist at the University of California,Davis,proposed that brilliant leaders'words may simply go 6 people's heads,their solutions could be more complicated t0 7 and followers might find it harder to relate to them.Now Simonton and two colleagues have finally 8 that idea.The researchers 9 379 male and female business leaders in 30 countries,10 fields that included banking,retail and technology.The managers took IQ tests,an imperfect but robust 11 0f performance in many areas,and each was rated on leadership style and effectiveness by an average of eight co-workers.10 12 correlated with ratings of leader effectiveness,strategy formation,vision and several other characteristics-up to a point.The ratings peaked at an io of around 120,which is higher than roughly 80 percent of office workers.Beyond that,the ratings 13.The researchers suggest the"ideal"io could be higher or lower in various fields,depending on 14 technical versus social skills are more valued in a（n）15 work culture."It's an interesting and thoughtful paper,"says Paul Sackett,a psychology professor at the University of Minnesota,who was not involved in the research."To me,the right interpretation of the work would be that it 16 a need to understand what high-IQ leaders do that 17 to lower perceptions by followers.The wrong interpretation would be,;Don't 18 high-io leaders.,"The study's lead author,John Antonakis,a psychologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland,suggests leaders should use their intelligence t0 19 creative metaphors that will persuade and inspire others."I think the only way a smart person can signal their intelligence 20 and still connect with the people,"Antonakis says,"is to speak in charming ways."13选？

Some Things We Know About Language
Many things about language are a mystery,and many will always remain so.But some things we do know.
First , we know that all human beings have a language of some sort.There is no race（种族）of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language,no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another.Furthermore,in historical times,there has never been a race of men without a language. Second,there is no such thing as a primitive（原始的）language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped,who are,as we say,uncivilized,but the languages they speak are not primitive.In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood;indeed,the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate.Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises.Study has proved this to be nonsense.There are,or were, hundreds of American Indian languages,and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old.They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with,but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.
A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate.That is,each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language. Finally,we know that language changes.It is natural and normal for language to change;the only languages which do not change are the dead ones.This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language.Grammatical features change as do speech sounds,and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly.Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

According to the third paragraph,the author thinks that______.
A:there exist some primitive languages in the world
B:there are many people who don't have a language
C:no languages in the world haven't been well developed
D:there are some languages we know having little complexities
