21、After the destructive winter, the chances are that your lawn will be looking as messy as a lockdown hairstyle.【1】
At the time, weeds will have undoubtedly moved into your beloved lawn. 【2】 There are plenty of weeding tools on the market, but we find that one of the best is a standard table knife. Be careful to remove as much of the root as possible. Some weeds can grow back from the smallest of pieces.
Moss will also most likely be growing in the damp areas of your garden. So grab a lawn rake (耙子) and pull the rake hard across any moss-infected areas. It’s a job you should have done back in October really. 【3】
For your first cut of the year, make sure you raise the cutting head on your lawn mower to its highest setting. Cutting your grass too close at this stage will weaken its roots and may lead to weedy problems later the year. 【4】Little and often tends to be the best policy for healthy grass.
【5】 You can use the technique known as “overseeding”, where grass seed is sown directly onto a lawn in spring or autumn. First off, choose the grass seed to match your existing lawn. Then sow your chosen grass seed, using the back of your seed packet to guide you on the amount needed per square meter. After that water your lawn using a can with a fine rose and keep off the area for a couple of weeks.
A．Remove any unwanted stuff.
B．Spring is the time to take action.
C．Now comes the job of thickening the lawn.
D．So your first lawn job should be to get rid of them.
E．But there will be no harm giving your lawn a once-over in spring.
F．Birds love moss which can help themselves to free soft furnishings.
G．It’s always good not to completely cut your lawn every time you mow.
22、 Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands, respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can't be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.
Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?
Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat then like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity（慷慨）that’s never forgotten.
Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism（批评）, which often hurts rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees, “Catch people doing something right!” he says. Then tell everyone about it.
Take in formed risks. “The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thought less exercise,” says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz. “Sky divers don’t go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes beforehand.”
Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others to take charge. but if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail-and not die a thousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.
Encourage enthusiasm. “When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental strengths,” says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. That’s a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself-You will be followed by everyone.
【1】The underlined word “cultivated” (paragraph 1) roughly means ________.
A．compared
B．developed
C．examined
D．encouraged
【2】The part “Always give credit” tells us that a leader should ________.
A．praise everyone
B．give helpful criticism
C．regard others as real heroes
D．praise people for their good performances
【3】To be a good leader, you should _________.
A．not be afraid of any risks
B．think twice before taking risks
C．try to avoid any possible failures
D．know what a thoughtless exercise is
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Be a Leader
B．Not Many Can Be Leaders
C．Leadership Is Very Important
D．Leadership Is of Ski1ls and Techniques
