29、A)For anyone who thinks of themselves as a leaderor an effective manager of their careeraccepting a degree of fear when faced with high-stakes decisions may be necessary.

30、this is excitement, she says. Research shows that facing these workplace difficulties with relish（享受）is better than trying to be calm.

Ms Huston advises practising the art of generating more than
