28、About ten year ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old. He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and---WHUMP! ---It hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH…immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kids, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?” Building up a head of steam, he went on. “That’s my new Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it？”“Please, mister, please…I’m sorry！I don’t know what else to do!” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else could stop” Tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the packed car. “It’s my brother, mister,” he said. “He rolled of the curb(路沿)and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman. “Would you help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.

Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scraps and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK！He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE—a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent(凹痕)to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

29、Why People Dislike Really Smart Leaders

Intelligence makes for better leaders—from undergraduates to managers to presidents—according to multiple studies. It certainly makes sense that handling a market shift or anything alike require intelligence. But new research on leadership suggests that, at a certain point, having a higher IQ stops helping and starts hurting.

Although previous research has shown that groups with smarter leaders perform better by objective measures, some studies have suggested that followers might subjectively view leaders with extremely high intellect as less effective. Decades ago, Dean Simonton, a psychologist from the University of California, Davis, proposed that brilliant leaders' words may simply go over people's heads, their solutions could be more complicated to carry out and followers might find it harder to relate to them. Now Simonton and two colleagues have finally tested that idea, publishing their results in the July 2017 issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology.

The researchers looked at 379 male and female business leaders in 30 countries across fields including banking, retail and technology. The managers took IQ tests and each was rated (定级) on leadership style and effectiveness by an average of eight co-workers. IQ positively correlated(和…正相关) with ratings of leader effectiveness, strategy formation, vision and several other characteristics—up to a point. The ratings peaked at an IQ of around 120, which is higher than roughly 80 percent of office workers. Beyond that, the ratings declined. The researchers suggest the "ideal" IQ could be higher or lower in various fields, to 140 or 100, depending on whether technical or social skills are more valued in a given work culture.

"It's an interesting and thoughtful paper," says Paul Sackett, a management professor at University of Minnesota, who was not involved in the research."To me, the right interpretation of the work would be that it highlights a need to understand what high-IQ leaders do that leads to lower understanding by followers," he says. "The wrong interpretation would be, ‘Don't hire high-IQ leaders."

The study's lead author, John Antonakis, a psychologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, suggests leaders should use their intelligence to use creative language that will persuade and inspire others—the way former U.S. President Barack Obama did. "I think the only way a smart person can signal their intelligence properly and still connect with the people," Antonakis says, "is to speak in charming ways."

【1】According to the first paragraph, we know that _______.

A. leaders with high IQ do not have effective leadership

【2】According to Simonton, managers with an IQ of about ________ are probably the most effective.

A. 80

B. 100

C. 120

D. 140

【3】What is Paul Sackett's attitude towards hiring high-IQ leaders?

A. Unconcerned.

B. Positive.

C. Doubtful.

D. Unclear.

【4】Barack Obama is mentioned in the last paragraph to ________.

A. encourage us to learn more about leadership

B. explain how intelligent people achieve success

C. show creativity is more important than intelligence

D. emphasize the importance of using intelligence properly
