24、It was a common November day. It was just a month after my grandmother passed away. I spent my days doing useless work, hoping to hide my sorrow and pain. When I went to the store, I was angry because I couldn’t remember what I wanted to buy. I was mad at everyone—especially a young girl in the store holding her grandmother’s hand. The little girl was asking her grandmother for ice cream just like I used to.

I ordered myself to ignore(忽视) the little girl. I thought she was nothing but a boring one. She was just too happy for me at that time.

When I walked to my car, a woman drove right by my side. She handed me a booklet(小册子). “It looks like you need this,” she said with a warm smile. I was surprised. Was this my grandmother’s nurse, Adu, who lived with her during her final months? I soon realized that she wasn’t, although they were much alike. I looked at the booklet. On the front cover there were big letters “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?” I opened the first page. It said: Though people passed away, their spirit remains with us. This was the first time since my grandma passed away that I felt her with me. Finally, I felt happiness from the surprising event.

C．was sick

D．came

C．she was too angry

D．she was too nervous

【4】Why did the writer finally feel happiness?

A．Because the words in the booklet were very interesting.

B．Because she got a booklet from the kind-hearted woman.

C．Because she found the booklet was written by her grandmother.

D．Because she realized that her grandmothers spirit remained with her.

26、Mr. Grey was the manager of a small office in London. He lived in the country, and came to work by train. He liked walking from the station to his office if it was not raining, because it gave him some exercises. One morning he was walking along the street when a stranger stopped him and said to him, “ You may not remember me, sir, but seven years ago  I came to London without any  money in my pocket. I stopped you in this street and asked you to lend me some money, and you lent me five pounds, because you said that you were happy to take a chance so as to give a man a start on the road to success.” Mr. Grey thought for a few moments and then said, “ Yes, I remember you.

27、Almost nothing we do in this world is done in isolation (孤立). At work or at play, you’ll find yourself in groups, working with other people: your team at work, a meeting with fellow workers, your family, a holiday with friends, a group of students working together, a group of neighbors wanting to make changes. It is now realized that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the main keys to success, partly because we need to do it so often.

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 disappointed and helpless. Time is wasted and the tasks are not achieved. There are often arguments and nervousness between people as there is nobody to keep the goals clear. Often group members begin not to come to meetings in order to avoid (避免) more disagreement.

Some people are natural leaders. The well-known cook, Antonio Carlucci says, “True leaders are born and you can see them in kitchens.” They’re people who are strong, fair and humourous. Although a lot of people agree that there are some natural–born leaders, most people now know that leadership can also be taught. Experienced teachers can train almost anyone how to be a successful leader. Good leaders don’t make people do things in a controlling way. You can learn how to join others, encouraging the whole group to work towards a common goal.

Successful leaders also need to be calm and wise. They need to be able to work out good solutions and make perfect judgments under pressure. Lastly, and probably most importantly, good leaders need to be sensitive, confident and be able to get on well with a variety of people.

【1】When we are at work or at play, we find we are probably working _______.

A. independently B. successfully

C. in isolation  D. in groups

【2】Groups with _______ leaders will often cause arguments at meetings or between people.

A. good and strong  B. no or weak

C. skilled and weak D. good and natural

【3】People who are born strong, fair and humourous are called _______.

A. natural leaders B. well-known cooks

C. experienced staff D. successful leaders

【4】Good leaders always have many ways of doing things except _______.

A. joining people together

B. encouraging the whole group

C. controlling people to do things

D. leading people to work towards goals

【5】Which of the following is NOT correct according to this passage?

A. One of the main keys to success is being able to work with others well.

B. People will often feel disappointed and helpless if they aren’t with good leaders.

C. Being calm and wise can help leaders make perfect judgments under pressure.

D. Experienced teachers can hardly train people to be successful leaders.

【6】Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

A. How to be successful leaders.

B. Successful leaders.

C. Why to be natural leaders.

D. Be sensitive and confident.
