　　Your mind like your body, is a thing, the powers of which are developed by effort. That is major use, as I see it, of hard work in studies. Unless you train your body you can't be an athlete, and unless you train your mind you can't be much of a scholar. The four miles a runner covers at top speed is in itself nothing to the good, but the physical capacity (耐力) to hold out over the course is thought to be of some worth. So a good part of what you learn by hard study may not be kept forever in your mind, and may not seem to be of much final value, but your mind is a better and more powerful instrument because you have learned it. “Knowledge is power”, but still more, the faculty (能力) of using knowledge is power. If you have a trained and powerful mind, you are sure to have stored it with something, but its value is more in what it can do, what it can grasp and use, than in what it contains and if it were possible, as it is not, to come out of college with a trained mind and nothing useful in it, you would still be ahead, and still, in a manner, educated.

Forget hard work and perseverance. Getting ahead is as simple as tidying your desk.
According to a leading expert, having a cluttered environment reflects a cluttered mind, but the act of tidying up can help you be more successful. The advice comes from Jayne Morris, the resident"life coach" for NHS Online, who said it is no good just moving the mess around. In order to clear the mind, unwanted items must be thrown away to free your "inner world", she said.
Ms Morris, who claims to have coached celebrities to major business figures, said:“Clearing clutter from your desk has the power to transform your business. " How? Because clutter in your outer environment is the physical sign of all the clutter going on inside of you. " Clearing clutter has a chain effect across your entire life, including your work. Having an untidy desk covered in clutter could be stopping you achieving the business success you want. " She is sure cleaning up will be helpful even though some of history's biggest achievers lived and worked in messy conditions.
Churchill was considered untidy from a boy throughout his life, from his office to his artist's studio,and the lab where Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin was famously untidy.
Among the recommendations is that simply tidying a desk at work and an overflowing filing cabinet(陈列柜) will instantly have a positive impact on "your inner world. " Anything that is no longer used should not be put into storage but thrown away completely.
Keeping something in the loft, garage or other part of the house, does not help because it is still connected to the person "by tiny energetic li.nes", Ms Morris. claims.
She said, "The things in your life that are useful to you, that add value to your life, that serve a current purpose are charged with positive energy that refreshes you and enriches your life. But the things that you don't ever use and don't need anymore have the opposite effect on your energy.
Things that no longer fit or serve you, use up your energy. "

【小题1】The underlined word "cluttered" (in Para.2) is closest in meaning to _____________.

Do you still remember your favorite poem from high school or some other important period in your life？Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind？Probably the main reason is that some aspect of that poem resonates (引起共鸣) with you. In the same way，you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your staff and students.

Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past. Thus , it can inspire whatever and whomever it touches. The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this_common need of the human heart and soul.

As one of the oldest art forms，poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity (人性) from one generation to another. Referring to poetry，Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement，“With this key mankind unlocked his heart.”

School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves，their students and their staff members. Beyond the simple use of poetry，techniques of poetry such as metaphors，repetitions and imagery can be used to take advantage of the power of language to transform communication，create meaning and a culture of care and attention.

Since schools are mainly about people and relationships，school leaders，like poets，are required to inspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry－or even of some techniques of poetry－in school leadership not only helps to improve communication，but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration.
