25、he long hours alone at a typewriter. “Youve got to want to write,“ I say to them, “not want to be a writer.“ The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing a never rewarded. When I left a 20-year care

26、er in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didnt even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine wri

27、ter. After a year or so, however, I still hadnt gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasnt going to be one of those people who die wondering, What if?. I would keep p

28、utting my dream to the test-even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 46 The passage is meant to _. （ A） warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience （ B） advise

29、 young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer （ C） show young people its unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame （ D） encourage young people to pursue a writing career 47 What can be concluded from the passage? （ A） Genuine writers often find their work interesting

30、 and rewarding. （ B） A writers success depends on luck rather than on effort. （ C） Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation. （ D） The chances for a writer to become successful are small. 48 Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? （ A） He wasn

Their abilities have been compared to orchestra conductors who can bring together a variety of sounds and instruments to create

34、 a united song. Theyve been compared to coaches who have the ability to orchestrate a group of people in joint strategy without being an actual player in the game. The theories, though important, create a mystique and complexity around leadership that make it difficult to see some basic fundamentals

35、. These basics are not highly complex. The highest level of leadership is gained when “fellowship“ can be generated without force, assigned authority or positional status. True following is produced by people who want to engage-not because they have to, are conforming to the rules at hand, or seek t

36、o please the leader. When people are following because they “have to,“ they are not acting of their own free will, but are conforming out of fear or threat. True leadership understands that people need to own their actions and decisions and follow because they want to. A major factor that impedes ma

37、ny leaders is the ability to get their ego in check. Leaders who have perspective on their value dont need to be more important than anybody else. They are not concerned about their status or visibility. Their focus is on their ability to collectively bring people together and create mass movement a

38、nd action to resolve issues. These leaders have given up their need to be “right“ or “on top“, and they understand that no one knows better than those performing the work how best to address the problems that emerge in that process. Well-tuned leadership demonstrates the graceful balance between pro

39、viding overview and perspective without interfering with the initiative taken by the team. Balance enables leaders to stay focused on leading the processes by which the team operates, solves problems and generates new directions without getting in and providing all the answers. These leaders underst

40、and that people on their team manage and solve complex problems every day in their lives and in their work. They treat the team with integrity and belief that everyone has what it takes to find the way. These leaders bring out the best in people because they ask everyone to stretch to see the implau

41、sible. 51 According to the writer, the theories about leadership _. （ A） are too complex to understand （ B） provide important answers to the leadership puzzle （ C） have complicated a simple issue （ D） are of no help to the understanding of leadership 52 A good leader must be able to _. （ A） be engag

42、ed to recreational activities （ B） bring people together for a common goat （ C） solve complex problems for the people （ D） ensure his status among the people 53 According to the passage, the hardest thing for many leaders to do is to _. （ A） create mass movement and action （ B） give up their need to

43、 be “right“ or “on top“ （ C） allow people to take the initiative （ D） keep from getting in the way of his team 54 Why is “balance“ important to good leaders? （ A） Because it enables the leaders to be fair to everybody. （ B） Because it generates new directions in the teams actions. （ C） Because it he

44、lps the leaders see what they should do and what they should not. （ D） Because it makes the originally very complex problems simple and easy for them to solve. 55 Which of the following may serve as a proper title for this passage? （ A） Leadership: A Puzzle for Decades （ B） General Theories of Leade

45、rship （ C） True Leadership （ D） Leaders and Their Social Status Section B 55 Sports is one of the worlds largest industries, and most athletes are professionals who are paid for their efforts. Because an athlete succeeds by achievement only-not by economic background or family connections-sports can

46、 be a fast route to wealth, and many athletes play more for money than for love. This has not always been true. In the ancient Olympics the winner got only a wreath of leaves (花冠 ). Even though the winners became national heroes, the games remained amateur for centuries. Athletes won fame, but no mo

47、ney. As time passed, however, the contests become increasingly less amateur and cities began to hire athletes to represent them. By the fourth century A.D., the Olympics were ruined, and they were soon ended. In 1896, the Olympic Games were revived with same goal of pure amateur competition. The rul

48、es bar athletes who have ever received a $50 prize or an athlete scholars or who have spent for weeks in a training camp. At least one competitor in the 1896 games met these qualifications. He was Spiridon Loues, a water carrier who won the marathon race. After race, a rich Althenian offered him any

49、thing he wanted. A true amateur, Loues accepted only a cart and a horse. Then he gave up running forever. But Loues was an exception and now, as the Chairman of the German Olympic Committee said, “Nobody pays any attention to these rotes.“ Many countries pay their athletes to train year-round, and Olympic athletes are eager to sell their names to companies that make everything from ski equipment to fast food. Even the games themselves hav
