    The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go. When know that this is1  , but all too often we recognize this truth  2  in our backward glance when we remember what it was and then suddenly  3  that it is no more.

    A recent  4  re-taught me this truth. I was hospitalized  5  a serious heart attack and had been in intensive  6  for several days. It was not a pleasant place.

    One morning, I had to have some additional  7  ，so I had to be wheeled across the count yard on a gurney（n.轮床）.

             8  we got out from our unit, the sunlight hit me. Just the  9  of the sun. And yet how beautiful it was---how warming, how sparking, how brilliant! I  10  around to see whether anyone else loved the sun's golden glow, but everyone was  11 ,most with eyes fixed on the ground. At that moment, I came to realize  12  gifts are precious----but we are too  13  about them.

         Hold fast to life, but not so fast, or you cannot  14  .This is the second side of life's  15  , the opposite pole of its paradox（悖论）：we must   16  our losses, and learn how to let go.

           This is not an easy  17  to learn, especially when we are young and think that the world is ours to command, and that  18  we desire with the full force of our passionate being, can, and, will, be ours. But then life  19  , keeping us faced with realities, and  20  but surely this truth dawns upon us.

    I was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.
    I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, I’d be busy 24 hours a day. The forged excuse notes made a large pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn’t realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off.”
    Isn’t it remarkable, I thought, how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes, they were brilliant.
    So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “They’re supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously.
    “Now, this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note --- the first class, ever, to practice writing them. You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study. ”
    Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God’.” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.
    The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “I’d like you to see me in my office.”
    When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you. ”
    【小题1】What did the author do with the students found dishonest?

    A．He reported them to the headmaster.B．He lectured them hard on honesty.
    C．He had them take notes before lunch.D．He helped improve their writing skills.
    【小题2】The author found that compared with the true excuse notes, the produced ones by the students were usually ________.
    A．less impressiveB．less convincingC．worse writtenD．more imaginative
    【小题3】The author had the students practice writing excuse notes so that the students could learn_________.
    A．the importance of being honestB．how to be creative in writing
    C．the pleasure of creative writingD．how to write excuse notes skillfully
    【小题4】 The underlined word “forged” in the second paragraph means “________”.
    A．falseB．copiedC．formerD．honest
    【小题5】What did the headmaster think of the author’s way of teaching?
    A．Misleading. B．DifficultC．Effective.D．Reasonable.

    Leadership is the art of getting someone to do something you want done because he wants to do it. People naturally want to follow a good leader. After meeting with an effective leader it is not unusual to feel uplifted(情绪高涨), inspired, and motivated to work towards a common goal.

    An effective leader makes others feel good about themselves, as well as the work they are doing. The leader has a vision(幻想)of what he or she wants to achieve, and can communicate that vision to others in a way that makes people want to be part of it. One thing a good leader typically does is to communicate the big picture, so that each employee can see how the particular role he or she plays makes a contribution to the final result.

    Good leaders are positive and optimistic when they speak about the future. Their enthusiasm wins them plenty of supporters who help make their vision a reality.

    Good leaders also understand that different people are motivated by different things. For employees motivated by a need for achievement, a leader explains how the task offers an opportunity to take on a challenge with an achievable goal. And employees are motivated by hearing how they will be part of a team of people working together.

    Good leaders will introduce employees by name first, rather than job titles. They refer to employees as team members, companions, or colleagues, never as “servants”. Words have power, including the power to make people feel whether or not they are important to the success of an organization.

    Good leaders believe that every team member matters and set up environments that make everyone feel important. It is no wonder they can attract the support they need to help them achieve their goals.

    1.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

    A．To tell us how to be a good leader at work.

    B．To describe the proper relationship between leaders and employees.

    C．To inform us of how leaders and employees should communicate.

    D．To show the optimism of a leader.

    2.What is the most important to be a good leader?

    A．A good leader learns art very well.

    B．A good leader can promote employees.

    C．A good leader can satisfy all his or her employees.

    D．A good leader can make employees happy and willing in their work.

    3.What should a good leader do for an employee who wants to succeed at work?

    A．To promote the employee to a leadership role.

    B．To draw a beautiful picture of the employee’s future.

    C．To encourage the employee to meet the challenges of his work.

    D．To let the staff know the important role the employee plays.

    4.We can infer from the passage that_________.

    A．a good leader is always good at creating comfortable working conditions

    B．the support of employees is necessary for a leader to reach his goal

    C．names are much easier to remember than job titles

    D．the motivation of the employees all comes from the leader

    Jones worked so hard that made the sparks fly from his hammer．The son of Mr．Smith, a rich neighbor, used to come to see the blacksmith and he would enjoy himself watching how the tradesman worked．"Why don't you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks?" said the blacksmith．"Who knows, one day, it may be of use to you." The lazy boy began to see what he could do．But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.

    Old Mr．Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods．He had to leave home and was forced to take up residence in another country．It so happened that in this village there were numerous shoemakers who were spending a lot of money to buy tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers' shoes.

    Young Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers．He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in his workshop．The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer．"How funny it seems," he used to say, "even making tacks can bring a fortune．My trade is more useful to me than were all my former riches."
