  Leadership actually has a few simple concepts.And, I witnessed it just the other day.I have three children, all under the age of nine.Before the bus arrives at eight in the morning, I always make breakfast and arrange their backpacks.

  But last Monday, I couldn’t get out of bed because I was sick.I thought that my husband, Chris, would handle the children.But I immediately realized that he wasn’t at home.If I’d had the strength, I would have ordered my nine-year-old daughter to help me.I was too exhausted even for that.I’m embarrassed to say - I just fell back to sleep.

  When I opened my eyes again, the children were in front of me.Dressed.All three of them.Even though I was sick, I was suspicious(猜疑的).“What’s going on?” I asked.

  My nine-year-old, Sally, spoke for the group, “We made you a cup of green tea.Don’t worry.I didn’t turn on the stove; I used the microwave.” I cautiously accepted the offer, wondering what they wanted.“I heard you throwing up in the bathroom so I got everyone ready.We still have 10 minutes to get to the bus.” Sally continued.

  What had happened to the daughter I had to force to get ready every morning? And how did she manage to motivate an eight-year-old and a three-year-old?

  The next day, I told Chris what I had witnessed.He just said, “Our daughter is a natural-born leader.” I didn’t think so.“For a leader she is a terrible follower.”

  Then it occurred to me that:a good leader isn’t a great follower.In fact, leadership is all about not waiting for instructions.It’s about stepping up to the challenge and leading by example-exactly what Sally had done.I had this leadership thing all wrong.

  Without being forced, without even being asked, she stepped up.I don’t think I would have believed it if I hadn’t seen it for myself.

E
Dear Sir/Madam,
I read Alison Burnham’s review of When We were 12, and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonderful — I found the old news pictures really interesting — they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it — one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch the bus home — I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation.
I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so-called “reality programmes”. I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.
Chris Daniels
72. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter?
A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.
B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.
C. To express his appreciation of the programme.
D. To have his story told on the programme.
73. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to _____.
A. describe how painful his early experience was
B. draw a direct response from Alison Burnham
C. show how the programme made him think
D. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson
74. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because _____.
A. he hadn’t got a return ticket                 B. he had lost his bus ticket
C. he didn’t like big crowds                   D. he missed the bus home
75. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?
A. He should have told the conductor then.     B. He should have been well treated.
C. He regrets going to school alone.             D. He wishes it hadn’t happened.

Hundreds of secondary schools are using a controversial reward scheme which “bribes” (賄賂)pupils with iPods and DVD players to turn up in classes and do homework.

Almost one million schoolchildren have been issued with supermarket-style reward cards which allow them to collect good-behavior “points” and cash them in for prizes.

Schools taking part in the “Vivo Miles” scheme are spending several thousand pounds a year in an attempt to cut truancy (逃學(xué)) and promote achievements. The prizes are ultimately funded by the taxpayer, through school budgets. Nearly 500 secondary schools, one in six, have decided to take part in the scheme, which is intended to replace old-style rewards such as stickers and golden stars.

But the extent of rewards being offered in schools brought a warning that a generation of children is growing up expecting to be rewarded at every stage. Many youngsters are collecting points for ordinary achievements such as remembering to bring their PE kit and wearing the correct uniform.

Under the scheme, teachers award Vivo points—worth 1 penny each—according to the school’s policy. Schools typically spend£4 to£6 on prizes per pupil each year, although some commit considerably more. Most pupils accumulate between 400 and 600 Vivos a year. Vivo Miles insists it is “pretty rare” for a pupil to accumulate enough points to buy an iPod, which requires 3,100 Vivos.

But Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said the scheme amounted to “bribery”. “It misleads children into thinking anything which requires effort has to have a special reward,” he said. “This ‘a(chǎn)ll must have prizes’ view is damaging to children in the long-term.” The scheme amounted to an “admission of failure” by schools. He said. “It shows a school has failed to convince children education is important.”

1.The “Vivo Miles” scheme is aimed at ______________.

A.increasing the income of the school

B.encouraging students to perform well at school

C.inviting more students to attend the school nearby

D.encouraging parents to donate to the school

2.The underlined word “controversial” in the first paragraph can be replaced by __________.

A.a(chǎn)rguable          B.practical          C.strange           D.mature

3.Those who oppose the “Vivo Miles” scheme think ______________.

A.it helps control the problem of truancy

B.it teaches children the importance of saving

C.it will mislead children about efforts and rewards

D.it’s not easy to get more than 600 Vivos a year

4.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the scheme?

A.Supportive.        B.Opposed.          C.Unconcerned.      D.Objective.
