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,and tends to backfire.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 (积极性).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 the pay check 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.

解答 32---35 ACBD
32.A 本题考查考生的推理判断能力.作者在文章的第二自然段谈到强迫命令会带来的坏处时指出:"Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things.(领导艺术中不包括强迫别人做事情)…They will also experience fear(那也会使下属雇员产生恐惧感)".A选项恰与此意吻合,为正确答案.
33.C 本题考查考生的综合归纳和分析判断能力.作者在第四自然段最后一句中提到:"Today's work place is all about relationships(如今的工作环境是要受到人际关系的影响的.)"接着作者又在文章结尾处明确指出:"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".据此可以确定正确答案是C.
34.B 本题考查考生的查找细节能力.作者在文章的第四自然段第一句指出:"The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character,and our understanding and use of emotion.(影响别人的持久方式是凭借我们自身人格魅力,以及对情感的理解和运用)".这里的 character指的就是personality,据此可以判断出正确答案是B.
35.D 本题考查考生归纳主旨大意的能力.通读这篇文章后可以看出作者的主旨是要告诉我们领导意识是建立在领导者是否能有效调动雇员的积极性之上的,D选项与此义相符,所以是正确答案.
点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.
