They have a hunger to take responsibility, to innovate, and to initiate. They are not content with merely taking care of whats already there. They want to move forward to create something new. Leaders provide answers as well as direction, offer strength as well as dedication, and speak from experience as well as understanding of the problems they face and the people they work with. Leaders are flexible rather than dogmatic. They believe in unity rather than conformity, and they strive to achieve consensus out of conflict. 2.Listen to the following passage.

In childhood we are happy to receive; it is the first opening of love. In youth we take and give, dedicate and possess -rapture and anguish are mingled, until parenthood brings a dedication that, to be happy, must ask for no return. All these are new horizons of content, which the lust of holding, the enemy of love, slowly contaminates. Loss, sorrow and separation come, sickness and death; possession, that tormented us, is nothing in our hands; it vanishes. Loves elusive entrenchment, his ubiquitous pretence, again become apparent; and in age we may reach a haven that asking for nothing knows how to enjoy. 5.BWilliam Menninger listed six essential qualifies that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy and others.

We have great differences today, what brings us together is that we have common interests which transcend those differences. As we discuss our differences, either of us will compromise our principles. But while we can not close the golf between us, we can try to bridge it so that we may be able to talk across it. So, let us, in these next five days, start a long march together, not in lockstep, but on different roads leading to the same goal, the goal of building a world structure of peace and justice in which all may stand together with equal dignity and in which each nation, large or small, has a right to determine its own form of government free of outside interference or domination. The world watches. The world listens. The world waits to see what we will do. What is the world In a personal sense, I think of my eldest daughter whose birthday is today. As I think of her, I think of all the children in the world, in Asia, in Africa, in Europe, in the Americas, most of whom were horn since the date of the foundation of the Peoples Republic of China.

He who has stored his memory with Slight anecdotes, private incidents, and personal peculiarities, seldom fails to find his audience favourable. Almost every man listens with eagerness to contemporary history; for almost every man has some real or imaginary connection with a celebrated character, some desire to advance or oppose a rising name. Vanity. often cooperates with curiosity. He that is a hearer in one place, qualifies himself to become a speaker in another; for though he cannot comprehend a series of argument, or transport the volatile spirit of wit without evaporation, he yet thinks himself able to treasure up the various incidents of a story, and please his hopes with the information which he shall give to some inferior society. Narratives are for the most part heard without envy, because they are not supposed to imply any intellectual qualities above the common rate. To be acquainted with facts not yet echoed by plebeian mouths, may happen to one man as well as to another and to relate them when they are known, has in appearance so little difficulty, that every one concludes himself equal to the task. 16.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the calls shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. 17.森茂中日合资公司 岗 位：日语翻译 岗位要求：1日语熟练。 2熟悉外贸程序。 3有良好的与人沟通能力。 待 遇：月薪3000-3500元 联系地址：大连市中华路256号 联系人：人事部经理周小姐 18.It is time the whole society began to take action to _ (使我们的环境免于毁灭). 19.If we had set out earlier, _ (我们就不会在雨中行走). 20.When this semester is over, _ (我就能抽空读这部小说了). 21._ (在我设计出这个问题的解决方案后), Ill submit a report to the committee. 22._ (我已得出结论) that it would be unwise to accept his proposal. 23.在充满市场竞争的现代社会中，工作倦怠(Job Burnout)已经成为世界范围内的普遍现象。据调查统计，70%的中国职场人士出现了不同程度的工作倦怠。2为什么会出现工作倦怠 3政府、企业和所有职场人士如何防止工作倦怠的出现。B How to Deal with Job Burnout /B 24.BWhere to Live, in the City or in the Country /B IYou are to write in three parts: In the first part, state what you think is the best way.
