When You Speak

　　Everyday we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.

　　Remember, too, mat it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official(政府官员)who might meet you.

When I opened my e-mail the other day, a blond woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile and blow a kiss. I guess that the e-mail she was reading to me came from my brother, and that a lot of it was about the trouble he was having getting the phone company to set up his high-speed Internet hookup. Still, it was pretty cool.

    Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send e-mail that gets read to the recipient (接收者) by an attractive male or female form or by a devil or clown (小丑). The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www.facemail.com. And you can choose the face from an array (列表). If Facemail catches on—yes, I’d have to say that's still as if—it could change e-mail as we know it.

    Facemail is about to get a lot more interesting. In a few weeks you will be able to speak into a microphone in your computer and have your own voice read thee-mail you send. The company has signed a deal with Kodak so that sometimes next year you will be able to submit a photo and your own face will be the one reading your e-mail.

    The main thing Facemail has for it right now is that it's fun. That's no surprise, since the company's chief executive is Lucie Salhany, founder of UPN and former head of Fox Broadcasting. As its new capabilities kick in, Facemail could become a lot more popular. After all, what grandparent wouldn't prefer e-mail with the voice and picture of a grandchild instead of coldly impersonal text?

1．We can see from this passage the Rachel  ________.

    A. is a friend of the writer's brother

    B. is working at a computer company

    C. is an attractive woman hired to read e-mail for others

    D. is not a real person

2．How can you get Facemail if you are interested in it?

    A. You can get it at a very low price.

    B. You can send e-mail at www.facemail.com.

    C. You can get it through Internet for nothing.

    D. You can place an order at www.facemail.com.

3．Sometime next year, you will _________________.

    A. hear your own voice reading your e-mail

    B. see your own picture while reading your e-mail

    C. have your own face reading e-mail you send others

    D. hear your own e-mil read together with your picture

4．We can infer from the second paragraph that the writer ________.

    A. doesn't believe that the Facemail would become popular

    B. doubts whether Facemail will be hot soon

    C. is sure that Facemail will work wonders for e-mail

    D. believes that Facemail has a good market ahead of it

5．The writer believes that Facemail could become a lot more popular mainly because ________.

    A. it is convenient and fun

    B. more and more advanced technology will be used in it

    C. Lucie Salhany is in charge of it

    D. it can make communications by computer more personal

     When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play. For weeks my
mother had helped me practice my lines. But once on stage, every word disappeared from my head.
Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator's part for the play, and asked me to change roles.
Though I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if
I wanted to take a walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions(蒲公英)
popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I
watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. "I think I am going to dig up all
these weeds," she said. "From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden." "But I like dandelions," I
protested. "All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!" My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every
flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?" she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. "And that is true of
people, too," she added. When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her
the fact. "But you will be a beautiful narrator," she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read
stories aloud to her. Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take
pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to
me. "Your mother asked me to give this to you," she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I
took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.

     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.Even if this is possible, it is shortterm, and
tends to produce unexpected and unwanted results.If you order someone to do something against their
will, they may do it because they feel they have to, 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 connect 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 does no good to 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 will become fully devoted to the projects and provide some
of their own motivation.Today's work place is all about relationships.
     Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they're 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 the pay check is not the single most important factor 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 relationship with
people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.

1.  The writer thinks that it is not________for us to connect leadership with strength and power.

A.  possible 
B.  necessary
C.  easy  
D.  effective

2.  People may NOT be working hard when________.

A.  they're regarded as human beings
B.  they like their leaders
C.  money is taken as the most important
D.  leaders understand the way things work

3.  From the passage, we can conclude that________is the key to making a good leader.

A.  developing one's emotional intelligence
B.  in fluencing others in one's own way
C.  producing some unexpected results
D.  having confidence in one's ability

4.  This passage is most helpful to those who________.

A.  have strength and power
B.  are going to make a speech
