15、around the world. They wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia.

19、 a small area of land, the landscape can be almost totally different from year to year. Even the most experienced explorers are lucky to return with all their fingers and toes, not to mention their lives.Into this extreme environment stepped Nabil Al Busaidi. In fact, he didnt just stephe stepped an

20、d skied his way across 650km, pulling 50kg of equipment. He also carried the flag of the Sultanate of Oman, which he held in the air at the North Pole, becoming the first Arab to achieve this impressive feat (壮举).On the way to the North Pole, Nabil was driven by the reward of success and the pain at

21、 the thought of failure. “Through the 20-whatever days , every minute there was a different thing that kept me going, either the fear of failure, the fear of dying or the reward of finishing and getting somewhere warm. ”The ever-present cold, averaging around -40 but dropping as low as a recorded -8

22、1, is his overriding (首要的) memory of the experience. As an Omani, Nabil had an additional 20 drop in temperature to get used to, compared to his British teammates. Apart from the extreme cold, polar bears were a common feature of the journey, and Nabil and the team had their fair share of bear encou

23、nters. “Polar bears are dangerous, but they are not that threatening because they dont intend to harm humans. Theyre usually either curious or just dont care. We saw five bears, and none were aggressive,” said Nabil.One final problem Nabil faced was the stress put on team relations by the severity o

24、f the conditions, especially during the first three stages of the journey.

27、o companies need a strong leader to stay competitive? Many would say “yes, definitely”, but the employees of one Swedish software consultancy company would tell them otherwise. They dont have a CEO. Nobody tells anyone what to do, instead, all the 40 employees have meetings and decide together.Crisp

28、 has become world famous for not having a boss. Hoping to get its employees more involved, it moved on to change its chief executive officer (CEO) annually, but ultimately, the 40-strong staff decided to scrap the position altogether.Well, it turns out that not having a boss, and being involved in d

29、ecision making has made Crisps 40 employees more responsible and motivated. And even if someone does make a bad call at some point, its definitely not the end of the world.According to the BBC, the unique Swedish company is apparently set up more like a family nobody tells anyone what to do, but the

30、 unspoken understanding is that “you dont mess up the house”.Crisp does hold four-day meetings for the whole staff two or three times a year, when they decide on things that affect everyone, like changing their headquarters, but generally, company employees are encouraged to make their own decisions

31、. They also have a company board, a legal requirement in Sweden, which acts as a last resort, in case something goes horribly wrong.So far, the “no CEO” experiment has gone surprisingly well. Henrik Kniberg, an organizational coach at Crisp, claims that not having to ask the boss to approve project

32、decisions or budgets means that things happen a lot faster and the company can respond to clients quicker.However, Kniberg stresses that not having to ask the CEOs permission about stuff doesnt remove employees responsibility to consult with their colleagues and explain their decisions. However, som

33、e CEOs believe that the idea only works in small startups, because it would be too chaotic（混乱的）in large organizations.1、What can we learn from the text?AT here was no CEO in the company from the very beginning.BEveryone in the company is the boss.CEvery employee takes turns to take charge of Crisp.D

34、The company board was founded for more than legal purpose.2、Crisps practice without a boss is successful because _.Ait has encouraged every staff member to contribute to the companyBit has helped its employees avoid making mistakesCit has made Crisp world famous in the competitive environmentDit has

35、 saved money otherwise paid to the CEO3、It can be inferred from the text EXEPT that _.ACrisps successful way may not be popularized in a big companyBmaking quick decisions is an advantage in businessCemployees in Crisp have to discuss with each otherDCrisps employees are actually relatives4、Which fa

36、ctor may NOT contribute to a companys success according to the text?AQuick response to its clients.BEmployees responsibility.CA companys scale（规模）.DEmployees motivation.24（8分）The Nobel Prize Winners in LiteratureRabindranath Tagore (1913)Prize motivation:“because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh a

43、ng is a significant element of happiness. In order to become a positive thinker, determination and consistency are important. The first thing to know about positive thinking is that everyone can do it. With certain cognitive (认知的) and behavioral changes, we can all become positive thinkers. Another

44、important factor is that being a positive thinker does not mean you become numb to anything that is not working properly in your life or is negative - it just means that you approach life and face challenges with a healthier outlook.Instead of selectively attending to negative events, focus on the p

45、ositive ones. Then pay attention to the delayed consequences of your behavior rather than the immediate ones. For example, if a job is not going like you want, focus on the fact that you have a job and how you can take your time to make the situation better.Challenge any internal attributions and se

46、e if you compare your behavior to standards that are excessively rigid and perfectionistic. If so, change these and be reasonable with your comparisons. For example, if you constantly compare your weaknesses with other peoples strengths, then switch this and compare yourself with those who are doing

47、 poorer than you as well. Overall, people who focus more on their strengths than their weaknesses but at the same time are aware of their weaknesses have a healthier self-evaluation result.When faced with too much fear about a situation, imagine the worst case and visualize a solution for it, then l

48、et go of fear. This way, you will be prepared for anything and your fear will not block you from being open and creative to different solutions. For example, if you are constantly worried about losing your job up to a point where it is creating a lot of anxiety and fear and is effecting your perform

49、ance and your happiness negatively, then think of losing your job, visualize how you will handle it, find solutions in your mind and then let go of the thought and the fear attached to it.So positive thinkers are better problem solvers and have better interactions. In addition to that, people who ar

50、e positive thinkers are happier and more satisfied with their life.1、Why is positive thinking a significant element of happiness?AIt means that one is blind to the troubles and difficulties that exist.BIt means that one constantly compares everything with other peoples.CIt means that one is strong i

51、n mind and has nothing to be afraid of.DIt means that one approaches life and faces challenges more healthily.2、What does the text suggest about the job you dont like?AQuitting it and finding a better one.BKeeping and trying to make it better.CBeing negative and numb to it.DChallenging yourself with

52、 a new outlook.3、What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4?ABe prepared for the worst: and let go of fear.BBeing constantly worried will lose your job.CFear will prevent you being open and creative.DThere is nothing to fear if well prepared.4、What can be a suitable title for the text?AHo
