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. |

Until I started my Happiness Project, I didn"t think much about rituals and whether they made me happy.
But when I reflected on them, I realized that I found rituals both calming and energizing.
For example, in my high school, exams were taken very seriously. When everyone was steeled at a desk,
the teacher would pass out the papers, and we would lay them face down. She would return to the front of
the classroom, look at the clock, and say quietly, "It is 9:10 now. You have two hours. Be sure to read all the
instructions carefully"-then a pause -"you may turn over your test paper and begin now." This familiar, quiet
formula made the start of an exam into a little ritual that put me in the right frame of mind to face a tense
exam.
In kindergarten, after singing a good-bye song, the children stand in a circle in the classroom, while the
grown-ups wait in a line outside the door. The teacher calls the children"s names, one by one, and the child
comes to the door to get a big hug and to leave. The orderliness of this process keeps everyone calm and
cheerful.
So think about rituals in your life. Take a moment to taste the enjoyable ones. Think about opportunities
to heighten the experience of an ordinary occasion by treating it with special consideration. This is particularly
useful if it"s a stressful or emotional experience, discussing a child"s report card, giving a performance review.
Packing for a trip, or getting ready for a date.
Studies show that family traditions and family rituals encourage children"s social development and improve
feeling of family. They"re not just important for children but for the whole society. |

A. rituals can make the whole society happy and peaceful

House chores are often on the bottom of everyone"s to-do list, so when a disabled family member or
friend needs assistance, we often prefer. To let someone else help out with the housework since we usually
have enough of our own, but cleaning, washing and sweeping need not be heavy tasks. In fact, you probably
get a lot done in a short amount of time if you work efficiently.
If you are visiting a disabled person on a regular hasis, ask which day would be best for you to come,
probably for no more than an hour or so. Then find out what type of supplies or equipment you will need
to carry out a few clean-up chores. Make a list and take those things with you so you will be ready to get
into action when the time comes. Don"t plan to do too much or you will end up spending too much time on
chores and perhaps make your host feel guilty. Don"t leave cleaning supplies or equipment in places where
your disabled friend might trip over them later. Be cheerful and enjoy your visit either before or after your
housework.
Even though you have a better way of handling things, remember that this is your host"s house, and things
should be done according to his or her wishes. Of course, if the person"s preferences are vastly different
from yours or if you are unable to do things as he or she wishes, let that task go to someone else to do.
Helping someone by assisting with housework is a great way to show friendliness and support. Set
reasonable limitations on your time and effort and be flexible about doing whatever your host most wants to
be done. Both of you can then benefit from this interactive experience. |

All over my garden I"ve planted nothing but roses, sweet and - if looked at far away-bright with color
like sunset clouds, I"d be very happy if anyone of my visiting friends should desire to pick and take some
for their homes. I trust that any friend of mine carrying the rose would disappear into the distance feeling
that his emotions had been rekindled (重燃).
A close friend came for a visit the other day. I know her to be a lover of flowers and plants. And for that
reason I told her at her departure that she should pick a bunch of roses to grace her bedroom. I promised
that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away.
That girl friend of mine, tiptoeing into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she
didn"t pick a single rose. I said there were so many of them that she would pick as many as she"d like to; I
told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn"t make a living out of them. Saying so I raised the scissors
for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!
To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said. With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me
that by no means should they be cut. Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so
iron-hearted as to destroy a smile so charming?
My mind was thoroughly shocked: the ugly earth, the rough earth, the plain earth-it is for the reason
of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people. |

| 3. Why did the writer"s close friend refuse to pick a single rose? |
A. Because the roses were not beautiful.
B. Because she did not like this kind of roses.
C. Because the writer did not want to give her any.
D. Because she loved the roses very much. |
