True leadership is not just the ability to identify the talent and skill of the polished individuals around you. It involves being able to dig beneath the surface and discover 5 .
Once there was a boy who constantly sat and talked in his maths class, and seemed 6 in group activities. Most teachers would 7 think of him as a problem student.
However, Anna was different. She believed the student was above 8 in other areas so she created a strategy to find out.
Anna didn't 9 the parents. Instead she organized a handful of activities in class to get more information. In place of calling out for volunteers in class she created a 10 for each Friday ： Girls vs Boys.
The first week the class was totally 11 . Every?one wanted to win. Even the boy had his hand up the whole time trying to get a turn. 12 ， Anna waited, and waited ， and waited. Finally the 13 teacher paired the boy with the most 14 girl student in class.
Now the two teams had a 15 score, and all the students sat back eager to see the result. As the teacher placed the question on the board, most of the students began to 16 their heads ：this was a question they had never 17 in class.
18 the teacher yelled. Both students started doing it 19 thinking of how to solve the complex question. Their classmates, full of 20 ， exclaimed, "Hurry, hurry, hurry！" The boy finished it just seconds before the girl and spun around with his 21 raised, "I won!" Almost nobody could believe the student they admired failed until Anna 22 the result.
This was what Anna tried to get. It turned out that the student wasn't bad; he was 23 So we can see that 24 hidden abilities is not always easy but the end results can be magical. Try your hand at this quality of leadership now and report your results.

A [2015 .江淮名校高三第二次聯(lián)考] People laugh and people cry. But it is thought that emo?tions such as anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears (落淚者)is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedy was the cause. The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears. But judging from recent studies of crying behaviour, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive (適得其反).
Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emo?tional tears. Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival.
Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others (as a crying baby might from its mother) ， the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. Vocal(有聲的)cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention. So, it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves.
Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress. University of Minneso?ta researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion. Tears shed because of expo?sure to cutting onions would contain no such substance.
Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs. At Tulane University's Tear Analysis Laboratory Dr Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the causes of "dry eye" syndrome(綜合征）and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to meas?ure exposure to environmental pollutants.
1. What does the phrase " both those responses" in Para?graph 1 refer to ？
A. Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happi?ness.
B. The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the ob?servers.
C. Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears.
D. 丁he tear shedder's apology and the observer's effort to stop the crying.
2. It is known from the first paragraph that .
A. shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to Americans
B. crying may often result in tragedy
C. crying usually wins sympathy from other people
D. one who sheds tears in public will be blamed
3.What does the author say about crying?
A. It is a pointless physiological response to the environ?ment.
B. It must have a role to play in man's survival.
C. It is meant to get attention and assistance.
D. It usually produces the desired effect.
4. From the passage we can infer that .
A. it is unnatural for people to shed tears
B. we can reduce our stress by shedding emotional tears
C. shedders of tears can't get help by crying loudly
D. unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survival

A
Florence, Italy Who should go: Art lovers； Renaissance historians； leather handbag shoppers with high credit limits. When to go: Spring or fall. Travellers usually avoid summer in Florence. |
Paris, France Who should go: Starving artists； Henry Miler fans; traditional food lovers. When to visit- Spring is the best time. That's what they all say, anyway. Autumn isn't bad, either, and I'd rather be rooting around the south of France in search of truffles(松露)in autumn. Summer in Paris isn't bad, really. |
Amsterdam T Holland Who should go： Lovers of Dutch Masters (artists I mean, like Rem-brandt, not cigars) ； bicyclists―it's a bike city in a flat land. When to go:It can rain at any time in Amsterdam? but that's not a rea?son for not visiting this fascinating city. Off season tourists will be rewarded with good enough weather to stick around. Summer is good for sun lovers. |
Madrid, Spain Who should go: Night owls―Madrid never sleeps; art lovers―the Prado is second only to the Louvre in presenting serious art; party-goers. When to go: Spring, when days are warm and the nights are pleasantly cool. Demand for outside eating and drinking starts becoming stronger in March or April. Street life peaks(達(dá)到髙峰)in June, then slows in July and August as the temperature peaks. Autumn is also good, although you'll risk some rain. |
Venice, Italy Who should go ： Romantic dreamers who like walking through automo?bile-free streets ； your mother (she'll want you to take her there, trust me)； almost anyone who wants to see something really different and romantic. When to go: February is the time when the famous Venice Carnival is held and the weather is usually cold and foggy―perfect weather for Venice. Summer? A large number of tourists in shorts and whiny children ruin the atmosphere. You'll greatly enjoy yourself there in spring and early fall. |
1. What do the cities Florence? Paris, Amsterdam and Madrid have in common?
A. They are all great cities for female shoppers.

Patti Page ， the top-selling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on January 1st, 2013， when she was 85. She was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era. Take her Ten?nessee Waltz for example, it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit.
