10、鹅)It was a handsome and very brave bird It seemed to take an immediate liking to the man, because it walked up to him and then followed him wherever he wentThis was funny for a while but in the end became rather embarrassing(尴尬的)“Go away, you silly bird, the man said to the penguin, but the bird ign

11、ored him. It simply would not leave him aloneWherever he went, the bird went too. At last, in desperation (绝望) the man walked into a police station“Excuse me, officer” he said “I need some advice. I met this penguin in the street and I dont know what to do with it”A bored policeman looked up from wh

12、at he was writing and said, “Just take it to the zoo, sir“Oh，all rightsaid the manThe next day the man was walking along the street, still accompanied (陪伴) by the penguin, when he met the policeman hed spoken to the day beforeThe policeman was not pleased to see them“I thought I advised you to take

13、that animal to the zoo, ” he said“Well, yes, officer, you didAnd I did take him to the zoo, ” the man explained. “And we had a great time But we cant go to the zoo every dayI thought today Id take him to the movies21Which of the following expressions can be used to describe the penguin?AUgly looking

15、he police stationBThe policeman took the bird to the zooCThe policeman who received the man was not patient with himDThe policeman felt sorry for not giving any helpBIts rare that you see the words shyness and leader in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and so

16、ciable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actu

17、ally are quite shytheyre just better at adapting themselves to situational demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few innies.Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking, shy people take a cautious approach to chance. Rather than the

18、flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering, shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak. Theyre not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share

19、a common love of learning. They are intrinsically（内在地） motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut i

20、n? Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence：they own the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty

21、. Not to say that limelight-seekers arent modest, but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than out

22、going ones, theyre more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that arent primarily apparent. Dont believe me? Maybe youll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, Its not that Im so smart, its th

23、at I stay with problems longer. Obviously, finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead

24、 your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.24We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _.A. shy people are sensitive to rewardsB. shy people care more about contentC. outgoing people are more careful about chancesD. outgoing people consider what to learn while listening25The example of Joh

25、nny shows _.A. shy people are likely to be modestB. hardworking students speak little in publicC. some students keep silent on purpose at schoolD. shy people may have an advantage in discussion26We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that _.A. success results from devotionB. shynes

26、s contributes to popularityC. outside reward leads to insistenceD. uncertainty counts more than certainty27The author supports his ideas mainly by _.A. giving definitions and presenting research resultsB. explaining problems and providing solutionsC. quoting authorities and making evaluationsD. maki

27、ng contrasts and gibing examplesCScience cant explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.Any owner will tell you how much joy

28、 a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice w

29、ater. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math

30、 mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Re

31、searchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didnt lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - a
