MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
In
addition to self-awareness, imagination, and conscience, it is the fourth
quality — independent will — that really makes effective self-management
possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in agreement
with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to actively
carry out the program we have developed through the other three qualities.
The human will is an amazing thing. Time
after time, it has overcome unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of
this world give dramatic(给人深刻印象的)evidence
to the value, the power of the independent will.
But as
we examine this quality in the context of effective self-management, we realize
it’s usually not the dramatic, the visible, the once-in-a-lifetime,
up-by-the-bootstraps(自立自强的)effort that brings lasting success. This
special ability comes from learning how to use this great quality in the
decisions we make every day.
The
degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is
measured by our personal honesty. Honesty is, fundamentally, the value we place
on ourselves. It’s our ability to make and keep promises to ourselves, to “walk
our talk.”
Effective
management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what “first
things” are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day,
moment-by-moment. Management is discipline(training to be
self-controlled), carrying it out.
Discipline
obtains from belief—belief in a set of values, belief in an overriding(最主要的)purpose,
to a long-term or short term goal that must be carried out.
In
other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes
from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a follower of
your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the quality to
control your feelings and moods rather than depend on others or have your work
half done.

Directions: Read the following passage.
Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the
required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
New
findings are against some of the sillier things that policymakers say about the
possible influence of migrants(移民)on a
country’s overall achievements. “When we started to do the PISA(Program
for International Student Assessment)ranking in 2008,
many countries were shocked at how badly they did,” says Mr Schleicher, “and
excuses we often heard were: we get too many migrants, or we get the wrong sort
of migrants.”
Although
immigrant children typically do worse at school than locals, there is no
country-wide effect. The OECD’s(the Organization
for Economic Co-operation and Development)analyses show an
insignificant correlation of the number of immigrant children a country has and
the average pupil’s achievement — and it is countries with more immigrant
children that do slightly better.
As
well as testing children on what they know, PISA also asks them how motivated they
are: whether they think they will need the subject in question( most
recently, science)for their future, and whether they like to
study it for its own sake. In most countries, first-generation immigrant
students are more motivated than the second-generation immigrant ones, who are
in turn more motivated than the children of the native-born. Germany is a striking exception:
new immigrants turn up with the usual ambitions and dreams, but at the age of
15 their children have already given up hope.
That
suggests that any country that figures out how to let incomers shine will
receive big benefits. Immigrants, however poor, are a self-selected bunch of
ambitious and hard-working people, and their children usually know that,
lacking the informal networks that let locals get ahead, they must study hard
to succeed. Their varying fates show that although what happens outside the
school gate is important, what happens in classroom is too.
