Gahriela wrked fr a multinatinal cmpany as a successful prject manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred t manage a team in Sweden. She was excited abut her new rle but sn realized that managing her new team wuld be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff wuld questin her prpsals penly in meetings, and when she gave them instructins n hw t carry ut a task, they wuld ften g abut is in their wn way withut checking with her. When she annunced her decisins n the prject, they wuld cntinue giving their pinins as if it was still up fr discussin.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a culture shck in expectatins. Dutch psychlgist Geert Hfstede uses the cncept f “pwer distance” t describe hw pwer is distributed (分布) in different cultures. In her previus wrk envirnment, Gabriela was used t a high pwer distance culture where pwer is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisins and are nt ften challenged. Her Swedish team, hwever, were used t wrking in a lw pwer distance culture where emplyees ften wrk tgether with their bsses t find slutins and make decisins. Here, leaders act as caches wh encurage independent thught and expect t be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware f the cultural differences between her and her team, she had an pen cnversatin with them abut their feelings abut her leadership.
Pleased t be asked fr their thughts, Gabriela’s team penly expressed that they were nt used t being tld what t d. They enjyed having mre rm fr initiative and creative freedm. When she tld her team exactly what she needed them t d, they felt that she didn’t trust them t d their jb well.
With a better understanding f the underlying reasns behind each ther’s behaviur, Gabriela was able t make adjustments t her management style. Finally, she effectively mtivated her team t achieve their gals.
4. What prblem did Gabriela have with her Swedish team at the beginning?
A. Her Swedish staff didn’t understand her instructins.
B. They were always refusing t fllw her directins.
C. Her authrity was challenged by her Swedish staff.
D They lked dwn upn her because she was a female.
5. What is encuraged in the wrking culture in Sweden?
A. Independent thinking and mild character.B. Cmpetitive spirit and mild character.
C. Prfessinal spirit and risk-taking behavir.D. Active participatin and creative thinking.
6. Which f the fllwing can best describe Gabriela?
A. Bssy and rude.B. Flexible and cmmunicative.
C. King but stubbrn.D. Strict but trustwrthy.
7. What can we learn frm Gabriela’s stry?
A. Tw heads are better than ne.B. When in Rme, d as Rmans d.

Imagine that the genme (基因組) is a bk. The bk cnsists f 23 chapters, with thusands f stries made up f paragraphs, wrds and letters n different levels. There are ne billin wrds in the bk, which makes it lnger than 500 dictinaries. If I read the genme ut t yu at the rate f ne wrd per secnd fr eight hurs a day, it wuld take me a century. If I wrte ut the human genme, ne letter per millimeter, my text wuld be as lng as the River Danube. This enrmus dcument, hwever, all fits inside the extremely small nucleus (核) f a tiny cell that fits easily upn the head f a pin (針尖).
The idea f the genme as a bk is nt, strictly speaking, even a metaphr (比喻). It is true t a great extent. A bk is a piece f digital infrmatin, written in ne-directinal frm and cntrlled by a system that translates a small alphabet (字母表) f letters int a large dictinary f meanings thrugh the rder f their grupings. S is a genme. The nly difference is that all English bks read frm left t right, while sme parts f the genme read frm left t right, and sme frm right t left, thugh never bth at the same time.
While English bks are written in wrds f different lengths using twenty-six letters, genmes are written entirely in three-letter wrds, using nly fur letters. And instead f being written n flat pages, they are written n lng chains f DNA mlecules (分子). The genme is a very clever bk, because in the right cnditins it can bth phtcpy itself and read itself.
8. What facts d yu knw abut the genme?
A. It has 23 chapters.B. It is extremely lng.
C. It is in the cell nucleus.D. It is n the pin head.
9. In what sense is the genme like a bk?
A. Bth have digital images.B. Bth are read frm left t right.
C. Bth are gruped by subject.D. Bth have a translatin system.
10. What can we knw abut genmes frm paragraph 3?
A. They are nearly f the same length.B. They are made up f DNA.
C. They can reprduce each ther.D. They are written n flat pages.
11. Why did the writer make a cmparisn f the genme t a bk?
A. T fcus n the differences.B. T emphasize the similarities.
C. T simplify the cncept.D. T give different descriptin.
D
After years f bserving human nature, I have decided that tw qualities make the difference between men f great achievement and men f average perfrmance curisity and discntent. I have never knwn an utstanding man wh lacked either. And I have never knwn an average man wh had bth. The tw belng tgether.
Tgether, these deep human urges (驅(qū)策力) cunt fr much mre that ambitin. Galile was nt merely ambitius when he drpped bjects f varying weights frm the Leaning Twer at Pisa and timed their fall t the grund. Like Galile, all the great names in histry were curius and asked in discntent,“Why? Why? Why?”
Frtunately, curisity and discntent dn’t have t be learned. We are brn with them and need nly recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he wh des nt lse his child’s heart.” Yet mst f us d lse it. We stp asking questins. We stp challenging custm. We just fllw the crwd. And the crwd desires restful average. It encurages us t ccupy ur wn little crner, t avid flish leaps int the dark, t be satisfied.
Mst f us meet new peple, and new ideas, with hesitatin. But nce having met and liked them, we think hw terrible it wuld have been, had we missed the chance. We will prbably have t frce urselves t waken ur curisity and discntent and keep them awake.
Hw shuld yu start? Mdestly, s as nt t becme discuraged. I think f ne friend wh culdn’t arrange flwers t satisfy herself. She was curius abut hw the experts did it. Hw she is ne f the experts, writing bks n flwer arrangement.
One way t begin is t answer yur wn excuses. Yu haven’t any special ability? Mst peple dn’t; there are nly a few geniuses. Yu haven’t any time? That’s gd, because it’s always the peple with n time wh get things dne. Harriet Stwe, mther f six, wrte parts f Uncle Tm’s Cabin while cking. Yu’re t ld? Remember that Thmas Cstain was 57 when he published his first nvel, and that Grandma Mses shwed her first pictures when she was 78.
Hwever yu start, remember there is n better time t start than right nw, fr yu’ll never be mre alive than yu are at this mment.
12. In writing Paragraph 1, the authr aims t ______.
A. prpse a definitinB. present an argument
C. reach a cnclusinD. make a cmparisn
13. What des the example f Galile tell us?
A. Trial and errr leads t the finding f truth.B. Greatness cmes frm a lasting desire t explre.
C. Creativity results frm challenging authrity.D. Scientists tend t be curius and ambitius.
14. What can yu d t recapture curisity and discntent?
A. Observe the unknwn arund yu.B. Fllw the fashin.
C. Lead a life f adventure.D. Develp a questining mind.
15. What can we learn frm Paragraphs 6 and 7?
A. Lack f talent and time is n reasn fr taking n actin.
B. The genius tends t get things dne creatively.
C. Gaining success helps yu becme an expert
D. Yu shuld remain mdest when appraching perfectin.
