""Mom, can I bake some bread?" We were 15; my best friend, Hanna, and I, determined to try our
hands at creating some beautiful bread.
"It"s not worth the trouble," my mother said. "It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery
bread is delicious without all that effort."
Begging was useless. Mom"s "no" meant "No!"
But several weeks later, opportunity knocked. My parents were going out for the evening. I
immediately invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baking crime.
We studied the recipe. That was easy. "Mix oil into flour then beat in four eggs, one at a time, with
remaining sugar and salt."
We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother.
"Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it."
We took turns working like that. "Is the dough "holding together"?" we asked each other.
I remembered my neighbor"s instructions: "If it"s too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water."
We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.
"Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth," the recipe instructed.
We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between
fingers. "Clean and oil bowl, and then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for one hour."
This was good news-we"d have a break. On the dirty kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful
bread. "See?" we would tell my mom. "Isn"t it worth the work?"
Hanna and I couldn"t help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing happened.
"Maybe something will happen in the hot oven," I said.
Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.
Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do
it right. |

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. |

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." |

A. London"s air quality will be improved in the near future.
B. The used buses running on diesel will be replaced by electric vehicles.
C. London promises to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2025.
D. Something has been done to solve the problem of carbon dioxide emissions. |
