阅读理解

Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure of the group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leader for a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.

Take Responsibility

Group leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on her shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, she's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes were made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group members do, but she should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of her leadership.

Concern for Members

The group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.

Good Listener

The group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints (抱怨) and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to be put into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.

1.The passage is mainly about____________.

A. choosing a good leader for a group.

B. assessing the performance of a leader.

C. qualities of a good group leader.

D. team members’ appreciation of a leader.

2.A good leader should always be able to_______.

A. tell when things go wrong in a group project.

B. control everything group members do.

C. make group members admit their mistakes.

D. recognize any mistakes as his own.

3.According to“Concerns for members”, which of the following is a good quality of a leader?

A. fair B. reliable C. determined D. generous

4.Which of the following is not the benefit of being a good listener?

A. Offer a chance for group members to express themselves freely.

B. Allow the leader to put all his ideas into practice easily.

C. Make it possible to deal with group members’ complaints.

D. Make group members productive by sharing their thoughts.
