11、ding of right over wrong.The book offers all three.The book tells the story of a man named Ebenezer Scrooge.He is mean and cruel（残忍的）to his clerk andturns away his only living relative.One night,Scrooge is visited by three spirits.The first shows scenes fromScrooges youth that led to this present st

17、loy creativity to constantly push into newterritory.Without growth and innovation,businesses eventually fade away.Those with staying power,however,have mastered an often-overlooked factor that allows them to focus on the future clearly:empathy（共情）.Whilethat may surprise many,I am certain that the ab

18、ility to connect with and relate to others-empathy in its purestform-is the force that moves businesses forward.Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept of a traditional workplace competitive,the reality is that for business leaders to experience success,they need to not jus

19、t see or hear the activity aroundthem,but also relate to the people they serve.Some may think they want the results from doggedly（顽强地）pursuing their goals without much thought forother people.This attitude works for some,but at some point often sooner rather than later everyone needs to relyon their

20、 relationships and established personal and professional connections.These relationships are the product oftaking an honest and dedicated interest in others and their businesses.Successful people do not operate alone;each of us needs the support of others to achieve positive results that push us tow

21、ard our goals.True empathycombines understanding both the emotional and the logical rationale（根据）that goes into every decision.Effectively understanding empathy involves viewing it as each persons connection to the people andmarketplace that surround them.A biological principle known as co-evolution

22、 explains that the adaptation of anorganism is caused by the change of a related object.Similarly,businesses and their leaders participate inco-evolution-type relationships.Business success depends on empathetic leaders who are able to adapt,build onthe strengths around them,and relate to their envi

23、ronment.When businesses fail,it is often because leaders havestopped focusing on understanding their environment and instead stay separated in their own operations.Successful business leaders are receptive to disturbance and aware of what is going on in their organizations bothinternally and externa

24、lly.To develop an effective workforce,we must be willing to give in and meet people where they are.This canbe frustrating and uncomfortable,particularly when you feel like your position makes more sense or offers a bettersolution.A critical part of developing empathy,however,is learning to understan

25、d,respect and implement anotherindividuals point of view rather than forcing your own.61.In the authors opinion,if a company wants to achieve success,it must.A.frequently develop in new areas B.always stay pure and powerfulC.concentrate on its future development D.value much thought for others62.I t

29、ne truly impossible teacher.She cared aboutme,and my intellectual life,even when I didnt.Her expectations were highimpossibly so.She was an Englishteacher.She was also my mother.When good students turn in an essay,they dream of their instructor returning it to them in exactly the samecondition,save

30、for a single word added in the margin of the final page:Flawless.This dream came true for meone afternoon in the ninth course,I had heard that genius could show itself at an early age,so I was only slightlytaken aback that I had achieved perfection at the age of 14.Obviously,I did what any professio

31、nal writer woulddo;I hurried off to spread the good news.I didnt get very far.The first person I told was my mother.My mother is normally incredibly soft-spoken,but when she got angry,she was terrifying.I am not sure ifshe was more upset by my hubris（得意忘形）or by the fact that my English teacher had l

32、et my ego get so out ofhand.In any event,my mother and her red pen showed me how deeply flawed a flawless essay could be.At thetime,I am sure she thought she was teaching me about transitions（过渡），structure,style and voice.But what Ilearned was a deeper lesson about the nature of creative criticism.C

33、reative criticism implies something about who is able to give it,who knows you well enough to show youhow your mental life is getting in the way of good writing.They are also the people who care enough to see youthrough this painful realization.I was lucky enough to find a critic and teacher who was

34、 willing to make the journey of writing with me.It isa thing of no great difficulty,according to Plutarch,C4to raise objections against another mans speech,it is a veryeasy matter;but to produce a better in its place is a work extremely troublesome.Perhaps Plutarch is suggestingsomething a bit close

35、r to Marcus Ciceros claim that one should“criticize by creation,not by finding fault.Genuine criticism creates a precious opening for an author to become better on his own terms-a process that isoften extremely painful,but also almost always meaningful.My mother said she would help me with my writin

36、g,but first I had to help myself.For eachassignment,I was to write the best essay I could.Real criticism is not meant to find obvious mistakes,so if shefound any-the type I could have found on my own-I had to start from scratch.From scratch.Once the essaywas“flawless”,she would take an evening to wa

37、lk me through my errors.She criticized me when I included little-known references and professional jargon（行话）.She had no patiencefor brilliant but irrelevant figures of speech.Somewhere along the way I set aside my hopes of writing thatflawless essay.But perhaps I missed something important in my mo

38、thers lessons about creativity andperfection.Perhaps the point of writing the flawless essay was not to give up,but to never willingly finish.Whitman repeatedly reworked Song of Myself between 1855 and 1891.Repeatedly.We do our absolute bestwith a piece of writing,and come as close as we can to the

39、ideal.And,for the time being,we settle.In critique,however,we are forced to depart,to give up the perfection we thought we had achieved for the chance of beingeven a little bit better.This is the lesson I took from my mother:If perfection were possible,it would not bemotivating.65.What can we learn

40、from the second paragraph?A.The author performed perfectly as a professional writer.B.The author didnt think he was good at writing a flawless essay.C.The author never dreamed of his essay being marked as“flawless”.D.The author was not much surprised at his essay being marked as“flawless”.66.What do
