A leadership is the most significant word in today's competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal capabilities and style. Experts on leadership will quickly point out that "how things get done" influences the success of the     1     and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker,     2     the phrase "Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things," he was seeking to clarify the     3     he associates with the terms.

When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly     4     individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular     5     very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership paradigm (范例), which he observed     6     on traits found in the character ethic and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on integrity, modesty, loyalty, courage, patience, and so forth. The personality ethic suggested it was one's attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive     7     attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he     8     how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a(n)     9     vision for your business, it is vital that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you     10    . Business leadership means that managers need to "put first things first," which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.

5 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

A worried call came into Jimmy Gill’s bar this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the beach bar couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit cards, or $150 in cash-but her wedding ring was put inside.

Gill didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours scanning footage(影片片段）from 16 different surveillance(监控)，cameras, watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man in a jacket approached the bench, put something hurried in his pocket, and walked off. Gill posted a clip on the bar’s Facebook page. “I didn’t want to accuse him, ” he said. “I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was.”

Within hours, Gill got a text from 17-year-old Rivers Prather, who’d heard about the post from one of his friends. Prather admitted having taken the wallet and told Gill he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet off the dock (码头)into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich.

Gill, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the dock. There, they got to talking, and Prather revealed that he wasn’t getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week. Gill, a father of two with another on the way, look closely at Prather-his small build, his pale cheeks-and saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a criminal.

But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could be facing charges. “He would be going to jail,” Gill says. “I had to help him somehow.”

6 . People size you up in seconds, but what exactly are they evaluating(评价)？ Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy has been studying first impressions alongside fellow psychologists Susan Fiske and Peter Glick for more than 15 years, and has discovered patterns in these interactions(互动). In her new book, “Presence”, Cuddy says people quickly answer two questions when they first meet you: Can I trust this person? Can I respect this person?

Psychologists refer to these factors as warmth and competence(胜任) respectively, and ideally you want to be considered as having both. Interestingly, Cuddy says that most people, especially in a professional environment, believe that competence is the foremost factor. After all, they want to prove that they are smart and talented enough to qualify your business.

But in fact warmth, or trustworthiness, is the most important factor in how people evaluate you. “From an evolutionary view,” Cuddy says, “it is more important to our survival to know whether a person deserves our trust.” It makes sense when you consider that in cavemen days it was more important to figure out if your fellow man was going to kill you and steal all your possessions than if he was competent enough to build a good fire.

Cuddy’s new book explores how to feel more confident. While competence is highly valued, Cuddy says it is evaluated only after trust is established. And focusing too much on displaying your strength can backfire(产生事与愿违的不良后 果). Cuddy says MBA interns(实习生) are often so concerned about coming across as smart and competent that it can lead them to skip social events, not ask for help, and generally come off as unapproachable.

These overachievers are in for a rude awakening when they don’t get the job offer because nobody got to know and trust them as people. “If someone you’re trying to influence doesn’t trust you, you’re not going to get very far; in fact, you might even cause doubt because you come across as manipulative(会 摆布人的),” Cuddy says. “A warm, trustworthy person who is also competent gains admiration, but only after you’ve established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.”

Americans are more familiar with the benefits of discipline, in fact, than conscious of them in theory. Anyone who should try to manage a factory, a bank, a railroad, a ship, a military company, or an athletic team, on the principle of having every employee or member of the organization take whatever part in the work, and do it in whatever way seemed     1    （good）in his own eyes,     2    （come）to sudden grief and be mercilessly laughed at. We all know that any enterprise can be successful only if there is coordination of effort, or     3     for short we call team play, and that this can happen only if the nature of each man’s work, and the way he is to perform it, is arranged with a view to the whole, so that each part     4    （fit）into its place contributes its proper share to the total result. Experience     5    （teach）us that   the maximum efficiency is attained     6    the team play is most nearly perfect, and therefore, the subordination（附属，从属）of the individual to the combined action is most nearly complete. Then there is the greatest harmony of action, and the least waste by friction or working at cross purpose. But everyone is aware that such a condition does not come about of     7    . Men do not fit into their places in a team or organization spontaneously.     8     they have and even when they have become familiar with the game or the industry, they are apt（易于）to overestimate their own part in it, or disagree about the best method of attaining the result. Everyone likes to rule, and when Artemus Ward suggested that all the men in a regiment should be made Brigadier Generals at once to avoid jealousy, he touched a familiar weakness     9     human nature. He was not obliged to explain the joke, because no one fails to see the absurdity（荒谬，谬论）of having everybody in command. But that would be exactly the situation if nobody were in command. If there is to be a plan for combined action, somebody must have power to decide what that plan shall be; and if the part of every performer is     10    （subordinate）to the plan. Moreover, that authority must have some means of carrying its directions into effect. It must be maintained by discipline; either by forcing those who do not play their parts rightly to conform to the general plan, or by eliminating them from the organization.

8 . While volunteering in Tanzania，my wife and I got the idea of what we call a “street library” because children in our neighbourhood were able to read but had no_______ at all.

We had an idea to make books ______ to local children who wanted to read. We ______ a famous international charity for collecting money. We ______ books in three book stores of the capital city. My wife Sue ______ all 180 books with sticky-backed paper to keep them clean. A local man made some _____   to store the books. I made some “library cards" and ______ with a tailor called Saddiqi，who agreed to keep the boxes in his _____ and to run the library. The library was ____ to open！

Anyone could   _____ with their name and their parent's mobile phone number.   Saddiqi gave them a ______ with a number, with which they could read the books only in his shop. I decided it was better to do that than let readers _____   the books.   There is no ______ to join the library.   Within five days we had over 100 ______ and more were joining each day! Even though the books are ______ for children in different grades of difficulty,____   were using the library for free, too.

This side-project was, I think, one of the most _____   things we did in Tanzania. It was in some way a thank-you gift to our ______ for welcoming us so warmly into their lives.   The whole _____   worked together on the street library and that's surely part of the reason it is still   _____ after we left.
