1.Everybody loves to play board games sometimes,but it is surprising to know how long this pastime has been in existence.Some of the earliest board games are over 5,000years old.The oldest is probably Senet,an American Egyptian game which has been found in burials from before 3000BC.The game involves an element of luck,and so it was thought by the Ancient Egyptians that those who won the game were protected by God.For this reason,games of Senet were often buried alongside the dead body,to be used on the dangerous game board is set out as a grid of three by ten rows,and uses two sets of at least five pawns.The actual rules are unknown,although some historians have proposed rules which were used in the Senet sets available today.The Royal Game of Ur,also known as the Game of Twenty Squares,is another ancient game which dates back to the First Dynasty of Ur,in 2600BC Mesopotamia.It was played with two sets of seven counters,one black and one white,and three four-sided dice (骰子).Although the ancient rules are unknown,a stone tablet has been found which describes a reliable record of how the game was played in 177-176BC.
Both Senet and The Royal Game of Ur probably came into existence long before the game backgammon (西洋双陆棋),which itself has a long history.The game of Nard,which existed in Iran in around 3000BC,used two sets of fifteen counters,four dice and same board as the one used in backgammon today,although the initial starting positions and rules are different.Similar games were played in Ancient Rome and India.

So this is my take on the elusive (难以捉摸的) concept:
Years ago,leadership had (55)C to do with a specific ability."Leader"was the(56)C given to the emperor of the organization.The person was the commander,the (57)A with complete control.But (58)D there is another way to establish yourself as a leader.
Here is my definition:Leadership is the ability to get others to do what you want,need,or expect them to do,and feel good about doing it.It is the(59)B part (feeling good about doing it) that is so elusive.
If I am in charge,I can certainly demand you do what I expect you to do and insist you get it done.I can give orders.(60)B,I am the boss,and everyone knows what that means.It is a sure way to destroy the atmosphere of the(61)D.
Today,I believe that approach is on the way(62)D,although it will always be with us.When people hate the boss,sure,the boss is called"leader"-but not a good one,because the followers are an unhappy bunch.If they had another,(63)C job to go to,they would be gone in a minute.
Here is a list of the qualities I believe it(64)B to be a good leader:1.Likable; 2.Trustworthy; 3.Competent and experienced; 4.Part of the team; 5.Able and willing to participate; 6.Ready to(65)C; 7.Adaptable to change; 8.Eager to share credit.
