We begin learning from others during the early days of life; and most people continue their social learning all through life 36 some mental or physical disability slows or stops the learning 37. Sometimes the learning is 38, as when we learn a new sport, art or musical technique from a friend. At other times, social learning is 39, as when we learn not to drive too fast by receiving a large fine for 40.Positive socialization is the type of social learning that is based on pleasurable and 41 experiences. We tend to like the people who fill our socialization with 42, loving care, and rewarding opportunities. Negative socialization 43 when others use punishment, harsh criticisms or anger to try to “44 us a lesson”; and often we come to dislike both negative socialization and the people who 45 it on us. There are all types of mixes of positive and negative socialization; and the more positive social learning experiences we have, the happier we tend to beespecially if we learn useful information that helps us deal with the 46 of life.Our 47 socialization helps explain a majority of who we are at presentwhat we think and feel, where we plan to go in life. But we are not 48 by the things given to us by those learning experiences; we can take all our 49 days and guide our future social learning in directions that we 50. The more that we know about the socialization procedure, the more effective we can be in 51 our future learning in the ways that will help us most.Because we were not able to 52 our parents, we were not able to 53 much of the first 10 or 20 years of our socialization. However, most people learn to 54 their own socialization as they gain experience in life. It takes special skills to steer(掌舵) our own socialization, and many of us 55 some of those skills naturally as we go through life but others may need to take some courses for those skills.()36.

Can an introvert be a good leader?Research has shown a consistent positive relationship between extraversion and leadership. In groups of strangers, such as a jury(评审团), extraversion predicts who will be selected foreperson of the jury. Its actually likely to be the person who talks the most, and that person is probably an extravert. So, extraverts are more likely to be chosen for leadership positions (what we call leader “emergence”).There is also a positive relationship (although a weaker one) between extraversion and leader effectiveness, particularly evaluated effectiveness of leaders. So it appears that extraverts have an edge, but does this mean that introverts cant be good leaders? Of course not!Many successful leaders are introverted, for example Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, and in business, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. One of the best company presidents that Ive known was easily the most introverted person among his executive team, but he was very successful and his colleagues admired his “quiet reserve and confidence”. So what is the critical factor that both extraverts and introverts need to emerge as a leader and to be effective?Our research has suggested that the key element is good interpersonal, or social, skills. In one study, we looked at the relationship of extraversion to leadership emergence and effectiveness and found that the advantage that extraverts had disappeared when we put social skills into the equation(方程式). In other words, only extraverts who possessed social skills were effective leaders. Good interpersonal skills are critical whether the leader is an extravert or an introvert.In addition, we know that we are more likely to choose leaders who look like their prototypes of leadersthey speak well, interact well with others, and just look “leader-like”. Extraverts just naturally look more like a prototypical(典型的) leader, particularly political leaders, than introverts do. Think of the US presidential campaign where presidential hopefuls were evaluated for how much each looked like he or she could be the Commander-in-Chief.The key to leadership success then is to develop the people skills needed to look like a leader, but to also develop the good leader-follower relationships that are necessary for success. If you possess these skills, introversion and extraversion dont matter very much.()59. What do the underlined words “have an edge” in the third paragraph mean?A. Lack effectiveness.B. Have an advantage.C. Are less confident.D. Are more aggressive.()60. What can we infer from the passage?A. There is a positive relationship between introversion and leadership.B. The more introverted leaders in a team are, the more admired they will be.C. Good interpersonal skills play a key role in making people effective leaders.D. Political leaders are more likely to be extroverts than introverts.()61. Why does the author mention the US presidential election campaign?A. To indicate the importance of developing people skills.B. To show the advantages of being introverted people.C. To tell readers how to become a prototypical leader.D. To suggest the uniqueness of being political leaders.()62. The author writes the passage mainly to .A. compare the differences of introversion and extroversionB. encourage its readers to be more introvertedC. argue that introverts can also be good leadersD. inform readers how to become a good leaderCIt was a sunny holiday Monday. Olivier Ferrante was cooking sausages on the barbecue and entertaining friends in his garden north of Paris when the phone rang. The call came from the BEA, Frances air accidents investigation bureau(调查局), where the 38-year-old former football player and driver was an investigator. The news was grim. “An Airbus is missing over the Atlantic: We need you.”As a safety investigator, Ferrante and his teams had participated, directly and indirectly, in the recovery of crashed planes from the Red Sea, the Black Sea, and every ocean. But this investigation would be his toughest ever: The plane had disappeared without a witness, or a trace on radar(雷达).At least eight ships and a dozen military aircraft gathered on the planes last known position, about halfway between Brazil and Western Africa. After six days the aircrafts tail fin(尾翼) and 50 bodies were spotted on the surface and the first burning questions were answered.The plane wreckage(残骸) and passenger injuries indicated the doomed Airbus was unbroken when it hit the water. It was not exploded apart by a bomb or lightning, now broken up by violent weather. Strangely, no Mayday(求救) message had been sent by its pilots.Ferrante worked energetically with his team
