Our neighbour's son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.
June 29 came and, of course, I hadn't lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two. But I figured a nice new girdle (緊身內(nèi)衣) would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle. The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked "LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn't try it on.”
The next morning was rather hot, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? That's it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink dress, which didn't match my red face well, and was ready to go.
Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass. I turned to my husband and asked, "What is a High Mass?" He shrugged his shoulders.
Unfortunately, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle.

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 informed 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 (降落傘) 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 (熱情)."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 your-self - You will be followed by everyone.
60.The underlined word "cultivated" (paragraph 1) roughly means _______.
A.encouraged B.compared C.examined D.developed
61.The part Always give credit tells us that a leader should _______.
A.give helpful criticism
B.regard others as real heroes
C.praise people for their good performances
D.praise everyone
62.To be a good leader, you should _______.
A.not be afraid of any risks
B.think twice before taking risks
C.try to avoid any possible failures
D.know what a thoughtless exercise is
63.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Leadership Is of Skills and Techniques
B.Leadership Is Very Important
C.Not Many Can Be Leaders
D.How to Be a Leader
