         ''Mom, can I bake some bread?" We were 15; my best friend, Hanna, and I, determined to try our
    hands at creating some beautiful bread.
         "It's not worth the trouble," my mother said. "It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery
    bread is delicious without all that effort."
         Begging was useless. Mom's "no" meant "No!"
         But several weeks later, opportunity knocked. My parents were going out for the evening. I
    immediately invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baking crime.
         We studied the recipe. That was easy. "Mix oil into flour then beat in four eggs, one at a time, with
    remaining sugar and salt."
         We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother.
         "Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it."
         We took turns working like that. "Is the dough 'holding together'?" we asked each other.
         I remembered my neighbor's instructions: "If it's too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water."
         We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.
         "Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth," the recipe instructed.
         We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between
    fingers. "Clean and oil bowl, and then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for one hour."
         This was good news-we'd have a break. On the dirty kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful
    bread. "See?" we would tell my mom. "Isn't it worth the work?"
         Hanna and I couldn't help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing happened.
         "Maybe something will happen in the hot oven," I said.
         Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.
         Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do
    it right.

         In Britain, in a population of 60 million, there are 13 million grandparents, many of whom live alone a
    long way from their grandchildren.The loneliness of these older people has become an issue that schools
    are trying to teach children about .
         On a popular teacher's website, there is a classroom activity to help make children aware of the
    implications of the different generations of the same family living far from each other. It's a story about Mrs. Eiderdown, an elderly lady whose grandchildren have moved to Australia with their parents. She lives
    alone and rarely sees her family .
         First of all, the children speculate about Mrs. Eiderdown's life.  What does she have for breakfast ?
    what does she do all day ?how does she feel about her life ?
         One day, Mrs. Eiderdown decides that she wants a pet to keep her company and puts an
    advertisement in a local shop window. Then she waits at home to see if anyone will answer her
    advertisement .
         A tall thin man rings her doorbell. he is holding a cardboard box. Mrs. Eiderdown chats with the man
    for ten minutes before she realizes that she hasn't looked in-side the box to see what the pet is. She can hear a his-sing sound. The children guess what is in the box(a snake). Mrs. Eiderdown thanks the man but
    says she doesn't think the snake is a good idea .
         The next time the doorbell rings, there's a lady on the doorstep, also carrying a cardboard box.In the
    bottom of the box, Mrs. Eiderdown sees something black and hairy with eight legs. Again ,the children say what they  think it is (a spider). Mrs. Eiderdown thanks the lady for her kindness but says that a spider is
    not the sort of pet she has in mind.
    At last, the little girl next door brings her a dog .Mrs. Eiderdown's life improves a lot because of the dog.
    more importantly, of course, the little girl, whose own granny lives a long way away, starts to visit
    Mrs.Eiderdown more often. This interactive classroom idea has led to a greater awareness among children about the possible loneliness of older people who live quite near them .
    1.what's the main idea of the passage?
    A.children get to know about the trouble of the elderly
    B. neighbors help select pets for Mrs. Eiderdown
    C. society helps the lonely people in the UK
    D. school send pets to the lonely elderly
    2.what does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean ?
    A. they talk about how she feels about being old
    B. they try to experience her loneliness
    C. they try to imagine how she lives
    D. they write about her life story
    3.  what can we infer from the passage ?
    A. the little girl often visits her own granny
    B. the people who offer pets are lady's neighbors
    C. the farther the elderly live ,the lonelier they feel
    D. the little girl begins to care more about Mrs. Eiderdown

         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 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. Today's 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. 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 . 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.
    1. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place 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 of his work as too heavy
    2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A.People tend to associate leadership with fear
    B.Working conditions affect people's physical health
    C. Good relationship is the key to business success
    D. Smart people are more functional in the work place
    3. To positively influence employees a leader should first of all ____
    A. provide better suggestions    
    B. develop his own personality
    C.give his employees a pay rise  
    D. hide his own emotion of fear
    4.Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader's ability to____
    A. provide a variety of project for employees
    B. help raise employee's living standards
    C. give employees specific instructions
    D. deal wisely with employees' emotions
