35、to Edward, a columnistDear Mr. Expert,I grew up in an unhappy home. I always promised myself that Id get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and Im really proud of the independence Ive achieved.Heres the problem: several of my friends who still live with thei

36、r parents wish they had places like mine so much so that they make mine theirs.It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.I e

37、njoy having my friends here sometimes it makes the place feel comfortable and warm but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why cant I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy?JoanEdwards reply to JoanDear Joan,If your family didnt pay attention to your

38、needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.And if youve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy

39、. You need to understand that in true friendship its okay to put your own needs first from time to time.Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.”64. We can learn from the first letter that

40、 Joan Edward .A. lives away from her parents B. takes pride in her friendsC. knows Mr. Expert quite well D. hates her parents very much65. We can infer from the first letter that .A.

43、r. But what are these really, and how do they operate? Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they

44、 feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in

45、not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership. The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do somet

46、hing, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Todays work place is all about relationships as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someo

47、ne they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligenceknowing your own emotions, and how to ha

48、ndle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.68.

The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is necessary for pl

52、ants to make the food that we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable.
