C: Boston; E: Washington DC.BAre extraverts really better leaders? Can an introvert be a good leader?Research has shown a consistent positive relationship between ex

43、traversion and leadership. In groups of strangers，such as a jury(評審團), extraversion predicts who will be selected foreperson of the jury. Its actually likely to be the person who talks the most，and that person is probably an extravert. So, extraverts are more likely to be chosen for leadership posit

44、ions (what we call leader “emergence”)There is also a positive relationship (although a weaker one) between extraversion and leader effectiveness, particularly evaluated effectiveness of leaders. So it appears that extraverts have_an_edge,_but does this mean that introverts cant be good leaders? Of

45、course not !Many successful leaders are introverted, for example Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, and in business, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. One of the best company presidents that Ive known was easily the most introverted person among his executive team, but he was very successful and his colleagues a

46、dmired his “quiet reserve and confidence”. So what is the critical factor that both extraverts and introverts need to emerge as a leader and to be effective?Our research has suggested that the key element is good interpersonal, or social, skills. In one study，we looked at the relationship of extrave

47、rsion to leadership emergence and effectiveness and found that the advantage that extraverts had disappeared when we put social skills into the equation(方程式). In other words，only extraverts who possessed social skills were effective leaders. Good interpersonal skills are critical whether the leader

48、is an extravert or an introvert.In addition，we know that we are more likely to choose leaders who look like their prototypes of leadersthey speak well, interact well with others, and just look “l(fā)eaderlike”. Extraverts just naturally look more like a prototypical(典型的) leader, particularly political l

49、eaders, than do introverts. Think of the US. presidential campaign where presidential hopefuls were evaluated for how much each looked like he or she could be the CommanderinChief.The key to leadership success then is to develop the people skills needed to look like a leader, but to also develop the

50、 good leaderfollower relationships that are necessary for success. If you possess these skills，introversion and extraversion dont matter very much.()59. What do the underlined words “have an edge” in the third paragraph mean?A. Lack effectiveness. B. Have an advantage.C. Are less confident. D. Are m

51、ore aggressive.()60. What can we infer from the passage?A. There is a positive relationship between introversion and leadership.B. The more introverted leaders in a team are，the more admired they will be.C. Good interpersonal skills play a key role in making people effective leaders.D. Political lea

52、ders are more likely to be extroverts than introverts.()61. Why does the author mention the US. presidential election campaign?A. To indicate the importance of developing people skills.B. To show the advantages of being introverted people.C. To tell readers how to become a prototypical leader.D. To

53、suggest the uniqueness of being political leaders.()62. The author writes the passage mainly to _A. compare the differences of introversion and extroversionB. encourage its readers to be more introvertedC. argue that introverts can also be good leadersD. inform readers how to become a good leaderCIt

54、 was a sunny holiday Monday. Olivier Ferrante was cooking sausages on the barbecue and entertaining friends in his garden north of Paris when the phone rang. The call came from the BEA, Frances air accidents investigation bureau(調(diào)查局), where the 38yearold former football player and driver was an inve

55、stigator. The news was grim. “An Airbus is missing over the Atlantic: we need you.”As a safety investigator，F(xiàn)errante and his teams had participated, directly and indirectly，in the recovery of crashed planes from the Red Sea, the Black Sea，and every ocean. But this investigation would be his toughest

56、 ever: the plane had disappeared without a witness, or a trace on radar(雷達)At least eight ships and a dozen military aircraft gathered on the planes last known position, about halfway between Brazil and Western Africa.
