In winter Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and cruel winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.
I wanted to see the Northern Lights. Also, I had long harboured a half-formed urge to
experience what life was like in such a remote and forbidding place. Sitting at home in England with a glass of whisky and a book of maps, this had seemed an excellent idea. But now as I picked my way through the grey, late-December slush(融雪) of Oslo I was beginning to have my doubts.
Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn't find a cab and had to drag my unreasonably overweighted bag eight blocks through slush to the central bus station. I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveller's cheques to pay the overcharged 1,200-kroner bus fare-they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Bryson on my traveller's cheques were both me-and now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, breathless and steaming from the endless uphill exertion(费力)that is my life, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.
"This isn't happening," I said. "I'm still at home in England enjoying Christmas.Pass me a
drop more port, will you, darling?" Actually, I said, "There must be some mistake. Please look
again."
The girl studied the passenger list. "No, Mr Bryson, your name is not here·”
But I could see it, even upside-down. "There it is, second from the bottom.”
"No," the girl decided, "that says Bemt Bjornson. That's a Norwegian name·”
"It doesn't say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at the loop(圆圈) of the 'y', the two
'I's. Miss, please." But she wouldn't have it. "If I miss this bus when does the next one go?"
"Next week at the same time.,,
Oh, splendid.
"Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson."
"No, it doesn't."
"Miss, look, I've come from England. I'm carrying some medicine that could save a child's
life.” She didn't buy this. "I want to see the manager."
"He's in Stavanger.”
"Listen, I made a reservation by telephone.If I don't get on this bus I'm going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects(前景)for the rest of this century." This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. "If this Bemt Bjornson doesn't show up, can I have his seat?"
"Sure.”
Why don't I think of these things in the first place and save myself the suffering? "Thank you," I said, and dragged my bag outside.

With the right encouragement and tools, children can develop leadership qualities that are important to help them succeed in all areas of life.Leadership activities and games help build these skills by enabling children to become more self-aware and improve their self-respect.
Good leaders can convey their thoughts and feelings effectively.Poetry, short stories or drawing are ideal activities to introduce children to the concept of leadership. Ask children to think about what makes a great leader and then express their ideas. Games like blind obstacle courses can build communication skills as well.
Planning and organizing is a fundamental leadership quality.Children can learn this skill by helping to plan a concert or play.Instead of assigning just one leader, divide the group into several small ones and assign leaders to each group.One group can be in charge of assigning roles and the second could be in charge of making invitations.How you distribute leadership roles will vary depending on the age of the
children and what you have chosen to perform.
Compromise is a skill of many effective leaders.Goals are obtained faster when arguments don't slow the process.Activities that teach children the art of compromise help them to negotiate with friends and family naturally.Group science projects, for example, can help enable children to learn how to compromise and negotiate.The success or failure of the project will depend on the children's ability to negotiate and
work together.
The ability to work well with others is another important leadership skill.Team sports like baseball can teach children how to work as a group and that their contribution is important to the overall success of the team.This builds their confidence and encourages them to think beyond themselves and their individual needs.
1.What activities can be used to introduce children to the concept of leadership? (No more than 5 words)(2 marks)
2.How can children learn an important leadership quality according to Paragraph 3? (No more than 8 words)(2 marks)
