听力原文： For most of us, success and the ability to control our own fate are linked to our ability to lead. Leadership, in fact, is something that concerns everyone. A leader does not necessarily occupy a formal leadership position, for example, as the assistant secretary of state or the chief executive officer. Very often people with leadership titles are not necessarily leaders. Parents, spouses, teammates, colleagues, friends, classmates or playmates can all be leaders if they so desire. A teacher can also be as a leader as he or she is a friend. In fact, most of us spend a great deal of time trying to get other people to do willingly what we want them to do, and that, in the purest sense of the term, is what leadership is all about. Of course, we can force people to do things for a short period of time, but that is not leadership. A true leader is apt to persuade and influence other people to accept his ideas, to follow him and to take action.
So, what is the essence of leadership？ Basically, what is required of a true leader？ It is communication. Without communication, leadership does not exist. It is impossible to get someone to do something without verbal or nonverbal communication. We rely on communication to manage and motivate. We use communication to resolve conflict and facilitate innovation as well as to negotiate.
We may expect our leader to be frank, direct, and to the point. We may also expect that our ideal leader listens, is willing to talk, is open to discussion and constructive suggestions, is receptive to new ideas, and is supportive. But, in most social interactions and economic activities, an ideal and recognized leader invariably emerges as the most competent communicator.
Success has something to do with leadership.

Work therefore is desirable, first and foremost, as a preventive of boredom, for the boredom that a man feels when he is doing necessary though uninteresting work is as nothing in comparison with the boredom that he feels when he has nothing to do with his days. With this advantage of work another is associated, namely that it makes holidays much more delicious when they come. Provided a man does not have to work so hard as to impair his vigor, he is likely to find far more zest in his free time than an idle man could possibly find.
The second advantage of most paid work and of some unpaid work is that it gives chances of success and opportunities for ambition. In most work success is measured by income, and while our capitalistic society continues, this is inevitable. It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply. The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can acquire. However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation, whether in the world at large or o01y in one's own circle.

B．Work is a cause of the greatest delight of life.
C．Work is very tiresome, especially when too excessive.
D．Work can at least give relief from boredom.
In an effort to make up for some of the glaring
limitations of IQ tests, researchers have begun to
develop new ways to measure the kinds of emotional factors
and psychological attitudes that lead to succeed in 【S1】______
everyday life. While IQ tests remain excellent predictors
of how good one will do in school, they have little
or nothing to do with who will earn the money or prestige
or have the most satisfied social life or relationships. 【S2】______
The new tests are intended to assess the less practical 【S3】______
intelligence that underlies these accomplishments. The
new approach goes beyond purely mental skills to
assess emotional factors and psychological attitudes that
can either interfere or facilitate the use of those skills. It 【S4】______
has fostered new theories of what they means to be smart. 【S5】______
The old theories focused in academic skills such as 【S6】______
verbal or mathematical quickness. But the new theories
describe a spectrum of practical talents such as the ability to
pick up the unspoken rules that govern success in a corporate
or professional career or the habits of mind that foster
productivity. "IQ and success in living have much to do 【S7】______
with each other", says Seymour Epstein, a psychologist at
the University of Massachusetts." Being intellectually gifted
does not predict you will earn the most money or achieve
the most recognition, even among college professors."
One factor emerging as crucial for life success is that 【S8】______
might be called emotional intelligence. "How well people
manage their emotions determines how effectively they
can use their intellectual ability," Dr. Epstein says. "For
example, if someone is skilled at solving problems in the
quiet of her office, but fall apart in a group, then she will 【S9】______
be effective in a great many situations." 【S10】______

M: Yes, urn, I think you can say we were among the pioneers.
W: So, with the experience of many years of trying to get it right, what would you define as the most important elements in providing successful customer services？
M: Mm... well, that's quite a difficult question, because so many factors are absolutely vital if you want to succeed, and success with the customer services, I might add, means doing everything you possibly can to please and keep customers.
W: Does that include the old idea that, for a company, the customer is always right？
M: Not exactly. The slogan that the customer is always right is rather simple, and unrealistic. I would say that, instead, the most important aim of a customer services unit is to encourage communication with customers, to actively seek feedback, including complaints, and to acknowledge all comments, good and bad, from customers because people like to be treated with respect.
W: Then what do you think are the most important factors for a company's success？
M: It seems to me that a company's success, in terms of good reputation and high profits, depends more on the relationship the company establishes with the customers. That relationship involves the company in consistently providing high-quality products and top-quality services.
W: So what you're saying is, in fact, very simply--basically, keeping customers happy depends on providing quality and encouraging communication.
M: Yes, but the essential factor is communication. A successful customer dervices unit is one that acts as a link between the company and the customer to ensure that the company can respond to the needs of the customer. After all, a company's success can only come from a satisfied customer.
(20)
A．Providing high-quality products for customers.
B．Providing good services for customers.
C．Doing everything you can to please and keep customers.

Most of the work that most people have to do is net in itself interesting, but even such work has certain great advantages. To begin with, it fills a good many hours of the day without the need of deciding what one shall do. Most people, when they are left free to fill their own time according to their choice, are at a loss to think of anything sufficiently pleasant to be worth doing. And whatever they decide on, they are troubled by the feeling that something else would have been pleasanter. To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level. Moreover the exercise of choice is in itself tiresome. Except to people with unusual initiative it is positively agreeable to be told what to do at each hour of the day, provided the orders are not too much unpleasant. Most of idle rich men suffer unutterable boredom as the price of their freedom from toil. At times, they may find relief by hunting big game in Africa, or by flying round the world, but number of such sensation is limited, especially after youth is past. Accordingly the more intelligent rich men work nearly as hard as if they were poor, while rich women for the most part keep themselves busy with innumerable trifles of whose earthshaking importance they are firmly persuaded.
Work therefore is desirable, first and foremost, as a preventive of boredom, for the boredom that a man feels when he is doing necessary though uninteresting work is as nothing in comparison with the boredom that he feels when he has nothing to do with his days. With this advantage of work another is associated, namely that it makes holidays much more precious when they come. Provided a man does not have to work so hard as to impair his vigor, he is likely to find far more zest in his free time than an idle man could possibly find.
The second advantage of most paid work and of some unpaid work is that it gives chances of success and opportunities for ambition. In most work success is measured by income, and while our capitalistic society continues, this is inevitable. It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceased to be the natural one to apply. The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can acquire. However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is means of building up a reputation, whether in the world at large or only in one's own circle.
