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. Today"s work place is all about relationships 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 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. |

Turkey started the next stage of a smoking ban on July 19, 2009 by extending the ban to cafes, bars and restaurants as it aims to limit smoking in a country where 22 million people, half the adult male population, smoke.

Mayor Boris Johnson Monday outlined plans to make London "the cleanest, greenest city on Earth" by the 2012 Olympics and called for commitments from other world cities at a climate change conference. Leaders of the world"s 40 largest cities are meeting in Seoul this week for a summit on combating global warming -- the third to be held since 2005. "What we should do in Seoul is agree that we will stop the endless addiction of mankind to the internal combustion engine (内燃机)," said Johnson. He said at a press conference the world"s cities consume 75 percent of the world"s energy and produce 80 percent of the emissions which cause climate change. "The problem of our planet is an urban problem," Johnson said. He said the British capital wants to use the Olympics "to drive the greening and the improvement of our city" and noted that London is committed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2025. Johnson said the key measure was being taken to solve problems relating to housing and commercial buildings, which accounted for 70 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in London. This involved retrofitting (翻新) -- installing lagging -- in large numbers of public buildings. Johnson proclaimed himself a "passionate cyclist" and said he would push ahead with cycle superhighways around London. London"s air quality problem, he said, was caused by vehicle emissions from 8,300 worn and used diesel (柴油) buses, which could be replaced by low-carbon vehicles. In addition, there were also 32,000 taxis running on diesel fuel, which could be replaced by electric vehicles. Johnson said there would be a few programs in the next few years to produce a "cleaner, greener" bus for the city. "The age of the diesel bus has got to be over in London." |

The use of the word imitation(模仿) reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime (犯罪) or violence.First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous.For example,I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree;fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged.I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting(通电触死) his guard,the technique of doing this being shown in detail.This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons. In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques,such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe;if we were consulted(请教) before production,I used to advise that the details should not be shown.When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this,since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime. Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi. made by Jules Dassin in 1954.This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweller"s shop,the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound...one of the most brilliant film sequences(连续镜头) of all time.I remember our discussion at the time.We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it;we believed therefore that it was relatively safe.When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied,so perhaps we were wrong. |
1.The writer thinks that______. |
A.the details of the criminal technique should be kept B.the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen C.children should not imitate what they see on the screen D.it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen |
2.What is the writer"s attitude(态度) towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard? |
A.The writer likes it very much. B.The writer is strongly against it. C.The writer thinks the film has some value. D.The writer does not show his/her attitude. |
3.All the following statements about"Rififi"are true EXCEPT______. |
A.that the robbery shown needs experience and skills B.that some very good tools were used in the robbery C.that the film showed the technique in detail D.that the technique of the robbery was not imitated |
4.It can be inferred from the passage that______. |
A.it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary B.only people in prison support film checking C.only children imitate what they have seen on the screen D.the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown |

Computers are popular with the people all over world, which give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience. E-mall makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren"t necessarily much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she" d been born before electronic marl became such a practical tool. The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun -- see a great movie perhaps and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may be tired of telling the story. With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience at your convenience and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply jt their convenience and you can read what they have to say at your convenience. E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college. We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don"t take the place of any of the old ways.
