12.Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise.Leadership means power,commands,respect and,most important,encourages achievement.Unlike vitamin C,leadership skills can't be easily swallowed down.They must be carefully cultivated.
Different from popular belief,most good leaders are made,not born.They learn their skills in their everyday lives.But which do they develop?How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?
Always give credit.Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat them like heroes.Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world.It is also an act of generosity (慷慨) that's never forgotten.
Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism (批評),which often hurts rather than helps.Kenneth Blanchard,the author of The One-Minute Manager,agrees,"Catch people doing something right!"he says.Then tell everyone about it.
Take in formed risks."The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise,"says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz."Sky divers don't go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes beforehand."
Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure,many of us usually wait for others to take charge.But if you want to be a leader,you must learn to fail-and not die a thousand deaths.Pick yourself up and start all over again.
Encourage enthusiasm."When people understand the importance of work,they lend their mental strengths,"says Lee Ducat.But when they get excited about the work,all their energy gets poured into the job.That's a great force!Is this the best way to create excitement?Be enthusiastic yourself-You will be followed by everyone.

解答 BDBA
27.B 猜測詞意題.根據(jù)第一段"Unlike vitamin C,leadership skills can't be easily swallowed down.可猜測出cultivated的意思是"發(fā)展".領(lǐng)導(dǎo)技巧不像維生素C那樣可以一下子吞下去,而是逐步發(fā)展起來的,故答案為B.
28.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)下文"Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat them like heroes."可猜測出這句話的意思是"對人們好的表現(xiàn)給予表揚",故答案為D.
29.B 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題.根據(jù)Take informed risks.中的"The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise."可判斷出作為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者必須"三思而后行",故答案為B.
30.A 主旨大意題.這篇短文講述了領(lǐng)導(dǎo)藝術(shù),即如何成為一個好的領(lǐng)導(dǎo),故答案為A.
