change.much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment.lifelong learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a countrys development.social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people.both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.to

influence others fill bookstores. but one neednt be a ceo or politician to be a leader. former u. s. president john adams said, “if your action inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”the key to becoming such a leader lies in character. people follow only those whom they respect, trust and admire. what attractive traits does such a leader have? below are five of the most important.leaders have couragethe new york firefighters who ran into the burning world trade tower to rescue others are modernday models of courage. yet even more than physical courage, the everyday demands of modern life require moral courage. insisting on doing the right thing despite pressure to act otherwise takes such courage.leaders must face fear and doubt in many of the decisions they make. having these feelings doesnt mean one isnt courageous. after all, courage is not the absence of fear. rather, its doing the right thing despite ones fears.leaders are humblebeing humble simply means having an accurate view of ones own limitations. everybody has limitations. leaders deal with theirs by seeking help from others.when leaders seek help, they recognize the skills that order other people bring to the table. and when they are successful, leaders generously praise all who contributed to the success. humble leaders dont promote themselves; they promote others.learning is a lifelong goal, no matter ones position. humble leaders are never too proud to learn from all sources of knowledgeeven those under them.leaders serve othersjust christ said，“if anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.” leaders serve others and put the needs of others before themselves. they make the good of everyone on the team a personal priority.leaders who serve others help the whole team accomplish more. leaders do things to make sure everybody has the resources needed. they go the extra mile to help out during a busy rush. when leaders serve, followers are also encouraged to serve each other.leaders have passionmoney or success can motivate someone to show up for an activity. but what motivates one to really put his heart into something? the answer is passionthe feeling that the activity is significant.outstanding leaders inspire others because they are motivated by passion for what they do. leaders show the significance of routine work to others by emphasizing the big picture. they demonstrate how an activity not only benefits the individual, but also ones family, community and entire society. their passion ignites the passion of others.leaders have integrityones integrity can be measured by what one does when nobody is looking. leaders practice what they preach all the time, not just in the presence of others. leaders also set the example for integrity. if a leader values being punctual, he arrives early.leadership is more about who you are than what you know or can do. by following these principles, you can become a better person. and that in turn will make you a better leader. 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了领导者的特征和品质，要做一名领导者不一定要做ceo或政客，如果你的行为能激励他人，让他人学到更多，做得更多，成就更多，你就是一名领导者。1which should

particular characteristic that can produce a particular type of behavior.ca physical or mental power that is needed to do something.da clear purpose that a good leader should work with.答案：b词义猜测题。根据该句中的“such a leader have”以及下文所介绍的领导者的五个重要的品格特征可知，traits意为“人的个性特点”，故b项正确。3this action “if a leader wants everyone to work hard, he works harder.” belongs to _.aleaders are humble bleaders serve otherscleaders have passion dleaders have integrity答案：d推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第三句“leaders also set the example for integrity.”可知，领导者往往起到榜样的作用，由此可推出，“领导者想要他人努力工作，他也努力工作”能体现出leaders have
