personal abilities and style. experts on leadership will quickly point out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. when a noted leader on the art of management, peter drucker, coined the phrase“management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things”, he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms. when stephen covey, founder and director of the leadership institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals. his seven habits of highly effective people became a popular bestseller very quickly. his ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic(道德准则) and the personality ethic. the former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience and so on. the personality ethic suggested it was ones attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. in contrast to each of these ideas, covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. to achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. business leadership means that managers need to “put first things first,” which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy. 66. what does peter druckers phrase infer? a. leaders should be good at making right decisions. b. leaders should be good at doing things right. c. leaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the terms. d. leaders should be skilled in predicting future. 67. under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests ? a. when people have little determination , they will be successful. b. when people have good behaviour, they will gain success. c. if people have positive mental attitude , they are likely to succeed. d. if people have negative mental attitude , they are certain to succeed. 68. how can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to stephen covey? a. firstly they have to think highly of themselves. b. they are supposed to benefit themselves.c. they can not adjust themselves. d. first personally they must manage themselves . 69. what is the meaning of the underlined word “vision”? a. bright future. b. good beginning. c. good scenery. d. pretty background. 70. to be good leaders , what must managers pay close attention to ? a. they must pay close attention to universal principles of effectiveness. b. they must pay close attention to their own values, abilities and strengths. c. they must pay close attention to modesty. d. they must be concerned about courage and patience. 【参考答案】1. 66-70 acdab较难题目特训：介绍说明类-2kingda ka, the tallest roller coaster （过山车） on earth, drops its passengers a life-flashing 418 feet. ferrari worlds formula rossa, the fastest, takes riders breath away at speeds of up to150 mph. brc imagination arts, a southern california design firm, has proposed something entirely new: a ride that creates the sensation of zero gravity for up to eight seconds at a time.brc drew its concept from the vomit comet, the plane nasa uses to train astronauts. its proposed theme-park ride would travel up and then back, similar to the existing superman: escape from krypton coaster at six flags magic mountain in california. but unlike superman and other open-car coasters, the vomit-comet ride would be fully enclosed. riders would enjoy the illusion of floating within a stable chamber.to create that illusion, a special motor system would speed coasters up the track with great precision（精确度）. as the coaster approached a top speed of more than 100 mph, it would suddenly and ever so slightly slow downjust enough to throw the passengers up from their seats and then quickly adjust its speed to fly in formation with and around the passengers. as the coaster reached the top of the track and began to drop back down, the computer system would continue to match its speed to that of the falling passengers, extending the sensation of weightlessness for several additional seconds, and finally rapidly slow down to a stop back at the base station.roller coasters typically cost no more than $30 million, but the zero-gravity ride would cost $50 million or more, to a large extent because the precision-response propulsion system（推进系统） is so complex. but if someone were to write a check today, rogers says, his company could be sending riders on weightless journeys by the end of 2014.67. what makes brcs coaster different?a. its the tallest roller coaster in the states.b. its the fastest roller coaster on earth.c. it can bring a sensation of zero gravity to its riders.d. it is a nasa product.68. why would people in brcs coaster have an illusion of floating in the chamber?a. because its designed with the inspiration of superman.b. because a special functioning motor system is applied to it.c. because the coaster can approach a top speed of more than 100 mph.d. because the coaster would cost $20 million more than normal ones.69. at what point could a rider begin to feel weightless?a. when the coaster reduced its speed immediately after it reached its top speed.b. when the coaster began to increase its speed.c. when the coaster reduced its speed to a stop back at the base station.d. when the coaster reached the top of the track.70. what can we infer from the passage?a. brc is a famous design firm.b. you feel like a superman when riding brc coaster.c. brcs budget cant make the project complete until 2014.d. kingda ka and ferrari worlds formula rossa will close down soon.【参考答案】2. 67-70 cbac阅读理解-bkilimanjaro climb : a rite
