Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into the book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of \"Max and Martha\" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problem of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her work shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books had been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.
Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable (独特的)style. There

When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?
Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term, They will also experience fear.
Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear. They will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself

in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.
The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation (积极性). Today’s work place is all about relationships.
Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they are recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work life of most people.
The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence―knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.
29. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when ________. A. he is forced to do thing
B. he cannot work at his best
D. he thinks of his work as too heavy
C. he feels his brain shut down
30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. People tend to associate leadership with fear. B. Working conditions affect people’s physical health. C. Good relationship is the key to business success. D. Smart people are more functional in the work place.
31. To positively influence employees a leader should first of all ________. A. provide better suggestions
B. develop his own personality
D. hide his own emotion of fear
C. give his employees a pay rise
32. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader’s ability to ________. A. provide a good working environment B. help raise employee’s living standards

A few years ago I had an \"aha!\" moment regarding handwriting.
I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting, and then I realized whose it must be. I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year, maybe two, and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.
It was a very important event in the computerization of life—a sign that the informal, friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters, and we recognized one another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.
As a child visiting my father's office, I was pleased to recognize, in little notes on the desks of his staff, the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”.
All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting, a book by Florey. She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall
of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age can't be expected to learn to hold a pen. I don't buy it.
I don't want to see anyone cut off from the expressive, personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer, part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting. What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16-century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand—as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However, they have worked in many school systems.
33. Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague's handwriting? A. He had worked with his colleague long enough. B. His colleague's handwriting was so beautiful. C. His colleague's handwriting was so terrible.

34. The author's father wrote notes in pen ________. A. to both his family and his staff B. to his family in small letters C. to his family on the fridge D. to his staff on the desk
35. According to the author, handwritten notes ________. A. are harder to teach in schools B. attract more attention C. are used only between friends D. carry more message
第二节（ 共5小题，每小题2分， 满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don't achieve anything significant. I made an interesting discovery. This difference may at first look obvious, but it's quite opposite. 36
Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don't, they wouldn't take action! 37 When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.
38 What's the purpose behind your actions? Do you work to thrive（成功）or to survive? Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?
Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences. People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive. They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. They hate their employment but don't quit because they doubt their own abilities to create something greater. I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once. That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. 39 Therefore, you cannot achieve anything great.
Now there are some people who don't accept the \"Life is hard\" story and they are fuelled by an entirely different purpose. They work to thrive. 40 They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality. A. And they don't think about why something cannot be done. B. Such attitude invites great opportunities to you.

C. It lies in what motivates people to take action. D. So let me ask you a few questions.
E. And this makes you take even more or better quality actions. F. This state does not allow you to be creative
G. But successful people have a completely different purpose behind the actions they take.

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 41 a different life. It was a transitional time in Daniel's life.

When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten.
He asked, \"What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?\" Then he walked 44 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 45 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 46 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 47 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 48 opportunities. How many
times have I let such moments 49 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 50 to me or what he might 51 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son
what he really thinks of him? 52 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 53 never hearing him put his 54 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 55 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly.
\"Daniel,\" I said, \"if I could have picked, I would have picked you.\" That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 56 , and there were just Daniel

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入合适的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 Were you the first or the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people think 61 matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about 62 the birth order means. Some people say that the oldest children, 63 are smart and strong-willed, are very likely 64 (succeed). The reason 65 this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention. An only child will succeed for 66 same reason. What happens to the other children in the family? Middle children don't get so

much attention, so they don't feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, however, often gets special 67 (treat), growing up to be funny. But a recent study thought things quite 68 (difference). The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn't take many chances in 69 lives. They usually 70 (follow) orders. Rules didn't mean as much to later children in the family. They took chances and they often did better in life.

When people think about valuable things, they usually think about money or jewelry. I am not very rich, and I have something very preciously in my room. It's not a computer or a smart phone. It's the view from my window. I'm lucky live near a park. My window faces with the tops of the trees in the park. Below the tree I can see children on the playground, young couples walked quietly, and mothers with children. There are also some old people sitting in the beach. The whole world was before their eyes. My classmates like to go online or listen to music, but when I have free time, I just sit on the chair and enjoying the most precious thing in my room: the view.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm Li Hua from Class One, Senior Two. As far as I am concerned, I believe to teach English for
pupils from Chenxi Hope School will be good for both the primary-school students and the high-
school student tutors, which thus will result in great social benefits.
I think I am qualified for being the pupils' English coach, because I have good character, being
independent in life and excellent in English. That's why I apply for the position. I hope I can join in the instructive activity.
My plan for coaching the pupils is to teach them by listening, speaking, reading and writing.
What's more important is to stimulate their interests in learning English as a foreign language,
creating a good learning environment. I hope you can offer me the opportunity.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
