题目内容

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man―the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and gets greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.

This attitude toward manual(体力的)labor is now still seen in many respects of American life. One is invited to dinner at home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously(豪华地)furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward. Furthermore, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, painting the house and so on. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer, he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.

59、The first paragraph tells us

A．people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man

B．people can always rise to the top through their won efforts

C．college professors win great respect from common workers

D．people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors

60、The hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because .

A．servants in American are hard to get

B．she takes pride in what she can do herself

61、The underlined part “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “ ”.

A．work in a furniture shop B．open a new shop

C．wait to lay the table D．serve customers in a restaurant

Not every president is a leader, but every time we elect a president we hope for one, especially in time of trouble. Leadership is as much a question of timing as anything else. The leader must appear on the scene at a moment when people are looking for leadership. And when he comes, he must offer a straightforward and powerful message.

Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers who cut through argument, debate and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand and remember. We have an image of what a leader ought to be. We even recognize the physical signs: leaders may not necessarily be tall, but they must have bigger- than-life, commanding features. We expect our leaders to stand out a little, not to be like ordinary men. Half of President Ford’s trouble lay in the fact that, if you closed your eyes for a moment, you couldn’t remember his face, figure, or clothes.

It also helps for a leader to be able to do something most of us can’t. Mao swam the Yangtze River at the age of 72. We want our leaders to be like us but better, special, more so. Yet if they are too different, we reject them.

A leader must know how to use power (that’s what leadership is about), but he also has to have a way of showing that he does. A leader should know how to appear relaxed and confident. His walk should be firm and purposeful. He should be able to give a good, hearty, belly laugh. Ronald Reagan’s career as an actor showed to good effect in the debate with his opponent. He managed to convey the impression that in fact he was the President.

A leader rides the waves, moves with the tides, understands the deepest feelings of his people. He cannot make a nation that wants peace at any price go to war, or stop a nation determined to fight from doing so. His purpose must match the national mood. His task is to focus the people’s energies and desires, to inspire, to make what people already want seem possible and important to achieve.
