Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be a good way to start The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “friend” or “companion”You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent”59What did the handball player do when be was not allowed to change his gloves？ AHe refused to continue the game BHe angrily hit the referee with a ball CHe insisted that the referee was unfair DHe wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt60According to the passage，players，in a game，may Athrow the ball at the opponent illegally blocking their way Bkeep on screaming and shouting throughout the game C1ie down on the ground as an act of protection Dkick the ball across the court with force61What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？ AThe players eagerness to win。 BThe players bad behavior CThe players attitudes towards the game DThe players totally different behavior on and off the court62What can be concluded from the passage？ APlayers should be educated to respect referees on the court BReplacing the present terms on the court can help reduce violence CRaising the referees sense of responsibility can help reduce violence DChanging the attitude of players on the sports field can help reduce violenceC Depression(抑郁症)is a serious problem todayDepression causes workers to be unproductive，causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollarsOne expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread，costly and deadly”Depression hits one person in five around the world Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated，studies show that depression is a problem among everyoneOver any six-month period， between five to seven percent of the worlds population will be suffering from a serious depression Suicide(自杀)rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme，or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large，and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks. People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping，getting up on time，and doing work productively Depression，which researchers agree has its origin in the genes(基因)，brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently Depression is made more serious in China by Chineses inability to face itMany people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazyBesides，there is no good treatment，with few specialists available “Most patients in China just dont get help，”a Chinese doctor says“In my hospitalI have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning，just have time to say “Hello how do you feel？” In Western countries，people are not afraid to admit that they have depression，but most do not tell it to their boss，because they fear that their boss would fire them “In my experience， aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it. Because they feel the most secure about themselves,” an American doctor says Hopefully，in the near future，people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment63Which of the following is true according to the passage？ AIt is widely believed that everyone may suffer from depression BDepression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and work CDepression is a commonly-existing problem only in rich countries DThe poorer and the less educated a person is，the less he will suffer from depression64Compared to normal people，the depressed people are likely to be Avery unconfident and often absent-minded Beasy to avoid being hit by heart attacks Cworking efficiently and productively Deither weak or lazy65Depression becomes more serious in China because of Athe understanding of the problem Bthe lack of treatment and doctors Ctheir unwillingness to tell it to their boss Dthe doctors careless work66What can we infer from the passage? APeople are suffering from depression because of the shortage of specialists BThe aging bosses around the world dare to say they are depressed CMore and more patients will turn to specialists for help DWestern people are braver than Chinese peopleDWhen 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 (积极性). Todays work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which theyre recognized and valued 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 (因素) in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emoti
