Mark Gibson is a former gymnastics coach who once worked with many excellent athletes．He often tells a wonderful story about a 15-year-old 1 girl, Cindy, whose attitude brought out the best in everyone．
Cindy wasn't a great 2 , but when she was in the gym, everyone complained less, worked harder, and, not 3 , achieved more．Cindy was such a powerful motivator 4 she could see nothing．When it was her turn to do the vault(跳马), mother would also 5 alongside her, and tell her how close she was to the vault．When her mom said, “Vault!”, Cindy would reach out and jump, 6 her mother and herself．
Cindy loved the sport and kept 7 because she and her mom refused to be defeated by her 8 ．Mark called her the most 9 member of the team, not because of her 10 ability, but because of her heart and because she 11 a standard of perseverance and courage that inspired others to get more out of themselves．Everyone who 12 her work hard to be the best 13 how much more they could get out of themselves．
This is leadership－leadership by 14 ．And we see this sort of leadership not only in 15 but also in families and in the workplace．Often the most important members of the team are not the 16 , most skilled, or most powerful．Instead, their 17 is in their attitude and their ability to inspire and 18 others with their optimism, enthusiasm, and determination．
People who know how to get the best out of themselves get the best of others．
There's no doubt that Cindy's 19 has a great effect on her teammates．A person's personality matters most because it comes from within and does not depend on 20 alone．
People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle(城堡)．They mean that the home is very important and personal．Most people in Britain live in houses 1 flats, and many people own their homes．This means that they can make them individual(个人的);They can 2 them and change them in any way they 3 ．In a crowded city the individual knows that he or she has a private space which is 4 for himself or herself and for 5 friends．
People usually like to mark their space．Are you sitting now in your home or in a beach or a train?If you are on the beach you may have spread your 6 around you; on the train you may have 7 your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own．
Once I was traveling on a 8 to London．I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us．The man on the 9 side to me had his briefcase on the table．There was no 10 on my side of the table at all．I was made rather 11 ．I thought he thought that he owned the 12 table．I took various papers out of my bag and put them on 13 !When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head．I had invaded(侵犯)his space!A few minutes later I took my papers 14 his case in order to read them．He immediately 15 his case to his side of the table．(Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!)
