If you would like to become president of your class, school, or student council, you must first demonstrate that you have the potentials of leadership. For one thing, you must show that you are interested in your school and in your fellow students. In practical terms, this means taking an active part in school activities. It means joining clubs, attending dances and other social functions, and going out for athletics --- if you are athletic. (1) But many young people have to push themselves to join clubs or attend dances. Perhaps you are one of them. The basic reason for this hesitancy is natural shyness. There is nothing whatever wrong with shyness; it can be overcome if you recognize that it is not a permanent affliction (苦惱)，and if you realize, too, that most if your schoolmates are probably as shy as you are. If you consciously strive (努力) to overcome shyness by going out to meet people, you will find yourself at the same time developing another quality of leadership--- understanding. As your circle of friends and contacts widens you will get to know your schoolmates better. Because you are no longer so concerned with your own feeling, you will begin to respect and take into account the feelings of others. Your friends and acquaintances (熟人) will be ware of your new attitude, for it will show in many small ways--- your greeting, conversation, and willingness to give and accept friendship. Another quality of leadership which you can develop is willingness to do a bit extra. If you are expected to sell ten tickets to a dance, for example, and sell fifteen, you have proves your interest and your effort to make your organization successful. Once you acquire the reputation of always doing a little more than expected, your fellow students will be willing to trust you with greater responsibilities. All your extra effort also indicates enthusiasm, and shows that you concentrate more on how to do a job efficiently than on its difficulties. A fourth quality of leadership is imagination--- the ability to see a way through problems and to develop new ideas. You can develop this all important quality by devoting extra thought during quiet moments to problems being faces by your organization. Many members of club sit passively through a meeting, and give no more thought to club matters until the next meeting, you are likely to come up with new ideas (or at least some questions) to contribute at the next meeting. As you show that you are interested in your school or organization, that you have understanding and respect for your schoolmates, and that you will work hard and use your imagination, your schoolmates will naturally think of you as one of their leaders. When the time comes for election of class or student body officers, you will be mentioned as a possible candidate by your closer friends , and this word will reach other groups until you are given a chance to declare yourself a candidate without seeming immodest. 61. This article _______. A) discusses how a person can develop qualities of leadership B) indicates various ways a good leader can make friends and influence people C) analyzes the responsibilities of leadership D) explains why many people are not good leaders 62.

The author apparently feels that a person who is not athletic _______. A) should go out for athletics anyway B) is definitely not interested in school elections C) has no chance of becoming a leader D) can participate in other school activities 64.

But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines. 　　In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist（不動搖） in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates. 　　When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away. 　　The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic（瘋?cè)耍? 　　The “l(fā)ong sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.” Many of the “l(fā)ong sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted （內(nèi)向）, inhibited （壓抑）, passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves （particularly in social situations）. Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems. 66. According to the report,________. 　 A） many short sleepers need less sleep by nature 　 B） many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their work 　 C） long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day 　 D）many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood 67. Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that ________. 　 A） sleep is a withdrawal from the reality 　 B） sleep interferes with their sound judgment 　 C） sleep is the least expensive item on their routine program D） sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles 68. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers ________. 　 A） are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of life 　 B） often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleep 　 C） do not know how to relax properly 　 D） are more unlikely to run into mental problems 69. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might ________. 　 A） appear disturbed 　 B） become energetic 　 C） feel dissatisfied D） be extremely depressed 70. Which of the following is Not included in the passage? 　 A） If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakened 　 B） The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the same as those shown by many mental patients 　 C） Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep D） Short sleepers would be better off with more rest　 Passage Three Our quarrel with efficiency is not that it gets things done, but that it is a thief of time when it leaves us no leisure to enjoy ourselves, and that it strains our nerves when we try to get things done perfectly. In building bridges, American engineers calculate so finely and exactly as to make the two ends come to
