12．Born with easy-broken bone disease，Zhang Yonghong is only half a meter tall and must use a wheelchair．His thin arms and legs can hardly support any weight，and he is unable to take care of himself．However，his hands are able to produce fine paper-cuts，which will free his daughter from the same disease．
To support himself，he learned how to make paper-cut art from his mother．He sold his artwork and taught his techniques in Xi'an for eight years before discovering his young daughter inherited the disease from him，leading Zhang to move his family to Beijing for his daughter's better treatment five years ago．
The daughter's treatment costs about 30，000 yuan a year．The family's savings was used up in two years，and Zhang was forced to start to sell his work in underground passages with his healthy wife，who soon left him because of the hard life．
With a little help from government，he was lucky to meet some kindhearted people in Beijing．A Hong Kong businessman gave 60，000 yuan to him last year to treat the girl and start a small shop on Qiangulouyuan，which is known as a famous hutong that attracts lots of tourists over holidays．Zhang Rui，a university graduate，spends most of her time helping Zhang sell the paper-cuts，translating the stories the paper-cuts tell into English and selling the works on the roadside of Nanluoguxiang．
However，the artist still lives beyond his income （收入） and struggles to continue his small business．"Selling paper-cuts is his only source of income．Without this，he can't support the family and treat his daughter，"says Zhang Rui，who hopes more people will help Zhang．

20．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．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（積極性）．Today's work place is all about relationships．
Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they are recognized and valued 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 money is not the single most motivating factor （因素） 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．
57．An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place whenC．
A．he cannot work at his best   
B．he feels his brain shut down
C．he is forced to do things     
D．he thinks of his work as too heavy
58．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？C
A．People tend to connect 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．
59．To positively influence employees a leader should first of allB．
A．provide better suggestions        B．develop his own personality
C．give his employees a pay raise    D．hide his own emotion of fear
60．Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader's ability toD．
A．provide a variety of project for employees
B．help raise employee's living standards
C．give employees scientific instructions
D．deal wisely with employees'emotions．

4．Driving a car at a high speed along a highway seems to be fun．You only need to follow the
bright traffic signs beside the highway and it will take you where you wish to go．
But to a London taxi driver，driving is not an easy job．A taxi driver needs to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London，from the loneliest street to the popular restaurant around．He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers （乘客） at all times．
A London taxi driver said the following about his job．
During the night it is usual for him to stop two or three times for some food．He said，"I never drink when I'm working，otherwise I'd lose my license （駕駛執(zhí)照）．"
He normally goes home between two and three o'clock in the morning．There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs．He said，"That's the worst thing about working for yourself．If you don't make money，no one is going to give it to you．"
London taxi drivers not only"take"but also"give"．Every summer hundreds of poor children from London go for a day at the sea-by taxi!There rides are paid by the taxi drivers．At the sea，they are met by the mayor （市長(zhǎng)），and a lunch party is also held for the taxi drivers and the children．After a happy day's running around the beaches and visiting the market there，the children go home again by taxi，free of charge of course!
29．London taxi drivers try to make more runs sometimes mainly becauseA．
A．they make a living by driving
B．they prefer to work for themselves
C．they want to help more passengers
D．they are used to working deep into the night
30．How do London taxi drivers"give"？C
A．They give the poor children a lunch party at he sea each summer．
B．They give poor children the chance to meet the maor．
C．They pay for some poor children's rides for a day's tour each summer．
D．They play with some poor children at the sea for a day each summer．
31．Which of the following words can be used to describe London taxi drivers？D
A．Brave and careful．
B．Rich and generous
C．Modest and easy-going            
D．Hard-working and kind．
32．The passage is most likely to be found fromC．
A．a(chǎn)n advertisement of a taxi company

1．When I was a kid，I used to spend hours listening to Adam Carolla and Dr．Drew Pinsky on their Sunday night radio show Loveline．I listened so often that I began to use one of their well-known phrases-"good times"-in my daily conversations．Scientists have a name for this phenomenon：behavioral mimicry．
You've probably experienced this before：after spending enough time with another person，you might start to pick up on his or her behavior or speech habits．You might even start to develop your friend's habits without realizing it．There is a large body of literature concerning this sort of phenomenon，and it regularly happens for everything from body gesture to accents to drink patterns（模式）．For example，one study found that young adults were more likely to drink their drink directly after their same-sex drinking partners，than for the two individuals to drink at their own paces．
And the effect isn't limited to real-life face-to-face activities．Another study found that the same you-drink-then-I-drink pattern held even when watching a movie!In other words，people were more likely to take a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink．At least I don't feel so strange anymore，having picked up on Adam Carolla's"good times"．
New research published today in the journal PLOS ONE indicates that the same sort of behavioral mimicry is responsible for social eating，at least among university-age women of normal weight．That's right：the young women were more likely to adjust their eating according to the eating pace of their same-sex dining companion．
As with most experiments，these results raise a whole new set of questions．However，the finding that behavioral mimicry may at least partly explain eating behavior is important，and has real effects on health．The researchers note that"as long as people don't fully recognize such important influences on intake （eating），it will be difficult to make healthy food choices and keep a healthy diet，especially when people are exposed to the eating behavior of others"．
25．The author takes his own example of using"good times"toD．
A．express his love for radio shows        
B．prove the popularity of the show
C．show the influence of the hosts'words   
D．introduce the topic of the passage
26．Which of the following is NOT an example of behavioral mimicry？B
A．A boy eats his popcorn after watching the actor eat．
B．A boy buys a Nike shirt when he finds his desk-mate has one．
C．A girl unconsciously sits straight just as others do．
D．A girl takes on the Yorkshire accent after a month's stay．
27．It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatC．
A．behavioral mimicry is beneficial to our health
B．behavioral mimicry decides our eating behavior
C．people have realized the effect of behavioral mimicry on our health
D．It's impossible to keep a healthy diet without knowing behavioral mimicry
28．What is probably the author's purpose of writing this passage？B
A．To draw readers'attention to popular radio shows．
B．To introduce behavioral mimicry and its influence．
C．To appeal to readers not to fall into others'habits．
D．To advocate healthy food choices among readers．

2．After I mastered my first concerto （協(xié)奏曲） at age 14，my parents decided to get me a nice violin．I tried out dozens of instruments before I found my match：a German violin．It was beautiful，but what I liked best about it was its voice．Confident and strong，it was everything I longed to be．
I'm not sure how much that violin cost，but my parents made me promise never to let it out of my sight．They didn't understand that dragging a large violin case ran counter to my daily middle school task of being invisible （看不見）．I was a strange，absent-minded kid．When I spoke up in class，my comments brought confused silence from teachers and wild laughter from students．Like a deer in a wolf pack，I tried to be quiet and still．
In contrast，my new violin was almost shockingly loud．Together，we could drown out the rest of my middle school orchestra-which was encouraged，since the other kids made sounds like cats'crying．For one glorious hour every day，I was showered with attention．Everyone wanted to hear what I had to say．
Between classes，I bent under the combined weight of my violin case and a backpack filled with books．My posture suffered，but my confidence grew．With my violin by my side，I found my voice．More and more，I contributed to class discussions and even made a couple of friends．
Today，I'm just an amateur violinist with a regular day job．As I sit in my community orchestra，sometimes I feel jealous （嫉妒的） of my fellow musicians'instruments with their elegant voices．I may not be the best violinist around，but at least I'm still the loudest．
21．The underlined part"ran counter to"in Paragraph 2probably meansC．
A．was similar to
B．went along with
C．was the opposite of
D．had something in common with
22．We know from Paragraph 2that the authorA．
A．did not fit in at school
B．was an excellent student
C．was strong and confident
D．did not attend classes regularly
23．What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 3？C
A．Disappointment．
B．Anger．
C．Pride．
D．Regret．
24．What can we infer from the text？A
A．The violin changed the author in some way．
B．The author hated the loud voice of his violin．
C．The violin always made the author embarrassed．
D．The author was the best violinist in his community orchestra．
