In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship gro
14、ups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have fa
15、iled to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders“. It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common: rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular grou
16、p.Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done“. Expressive leadership,
17、 on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group s members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.Instru
18、mental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give others tasks and may discipline group members who inhibit(阻碍)attainment of the group s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sy
19、mpathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members: instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group go
20、als, may enjoy a more distant respect.31 What does the passage mainly discuss?（A）The problems faced by leaders.（B） How leadership differs in small and large groups.（C） How social groups determine who will lead them.（D）The role of leaders in social groups.32 The passage mentions all of the following
21、ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT_.（A）recruitment（B） formal election process（C） specific leadership training（D）traditional cultural patterns33 Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from Paragraph 2?（A）A person who is an effective leader of a particular group
22、 may not be an effective leader in another group.（B） Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person.（C） A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership.（D）Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifica
23、tions.34 In mentioning “natural leaders“(Para. 2), the author is making the point that_.（A）few people qualify as “natural leaders“（B） there is no proof that “natural leaders“ exist（C） natural leaders are easily accepted by the members of a group（D）natural leaders share a similar set of characteristi
24、cs35 The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on_.（A）ensuring harmonious relationships（B） sharing responsibility with group members（C） identifying new leaders（D）achieving a goal35 Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it com
25、es to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school, I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that s
26、not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts university that doesn t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice: I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value syst
27、em to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I
28、 headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories“ where they didn t care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist all in one.Now Im not so sure. Somewhere
29、along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile engineering with liberal a
30、rts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply dont mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways: together they threaten to confuse. The struggl
31、e to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.36 The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts university because he_.（A）wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality（B） intended to be a combination of engineer and humanist（C） wanted to coordinate engineering with lib
32、eral arts courses in college（D）intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals37 According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can_.（A）balance engineering and the liberal arts（B） receive guidance in their careers（C） become noble idealists（D）broa
33、den their horizons38 In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected_.（A）to have an excellent academic record（B） to be wise and mature（C） to be imaginative with a value system to guide him（D）to be a technical genius with a wide vision39 The author s experience shows that he w
34、as_.（A）creative（B） ambitious（C） unrealistic（D）irrational40 The underlined “they“ in Para. 5 refers to_.（A）engineering and the liberal arts（B） reality and noble ideals（C） flexibility and a value system（D）practicality and rationality40 My father was a forman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Picdras,
35、Puertro Rieo. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Becaus
36、e the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay: it never entered my mind to say I was si
37、ck just because I didnt want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a man s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing
38、home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers
39、 could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dream of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝)and
40、a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball.And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the fieldexcept now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a b

46、 meets your needs.Decide on suitable Car Insurance Policies(保单)A neglected part of car insurance is the part which covers medical bills.
