5. What does the word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? (A) people (B) wolves (C) farmers (D) animals 第二篇: Following someone else may be a good thing if you want to learn from them and use their expertise to your advantage. Being a good follower also means being willing to work hard without complaining. Good followers know how important it is for their team leader that they show up and do their job well every day, so they don’t complain when things get tough or boring—they just get it done. This can often lead to team members or leaders recognizing your work ethic and putting you in a better position for new leadership positions in the future. Having a follower mindset, however, comes with some downfalls as well, such as not having total control over the situation. As a follower, you have to follow the leader’s plan and rules. You may not always be able to make decisions on your own or come up with creative solutions when things go wrong, but that doesn’t mean your opinions or expertise will go unnoticed or unappreciated. Being a follower is safe. You don’t have to do the hard work of figuring out what to do next, putting in the effort to make it happen, or taking responsibility for making mistakes. Instead, you can just go along with whatever plan others have come up with—or at least that’s how other people see it. But being a follower isn’t passive or unimportant. As a follower, you are still part of the team and you still play an important role in making things happen—you just don’t have as much control over how they happen as those who are leading the way. Followers are essential because they help provide support and guidance for the leaders on their teams; without followers, there would be no one left to lead. The reason why followers might feel left out is that they don’t get the credit for their work, don’t make critical decisions that affect the final outcome, and have a smaller role in the final product. If you’re a follower, it’s important to remember that not being able to lead doesn’t mean that you are not capable of leading.

10. Who might find the passage useful? (A) Leaders who need to select good team members (B) Managers who need to pick leaders for a new project (C) Those who want to understand follower mindset (D) Textbook writers interested in the differences between good leaders and followers 第三篇: Digital, social, personalized, and trendy—these are the main characteristics of Chinese New Year 2.0. While not giving up tradition, China's Generation Z is in fact making significant changes in the way they celebrate this important holiday, making it more in step with the times. As revealed by a recent survey, the majority of young Chinese still appreciate the typical customs of the Spring Festival, such as setting off firecrackers, giving red envelopes containing cash, and reconnecting with relatives and friends, but prefer to adapt them to their own needs, giving them a modern twist. As is well known, the Chinese are used to spending the Spring Festival with their families, and those who live far away take advantage of the holiday to return home to relatives. In recent years, however, more and more young people are opting for the “reverse trip”, inviting their parents to celebrate New Year in the city where they work. This new trend not only saves money and reduces the stress of travelling, but also gives parents the opportunity to get to know their children's environment. Another recent innovation is travelling with the family. In addition to going north to enjoy the snow or going south to avoid the cold, there is growing interest in intangible cultural heritage discovery tours. Thus, experiences such as visiting lantern festivals and markets, watching performances of folk songs and dances, and wearing traditional clothes to take souvenir photos are becoming increasingly popular during the Spring Festival. Perhaps these alternative ways of spending New Year's Eve will help to avoid or at least ease the intergenerational tensions that arise during family gatherings. Indeed, family gatherings over the Spring Festival have always been the favorite occasion for meddling in the lives of younger family members and pressuring them about school, careers and love life. Another distinguishing feature of Chinese New Year 2.0 is the predominant use of social media networks. More than a third of those surveyed said they spend more time socializing online than in person during the holidays, a trend that is more prevalent in big cities.
