32、me up with an idea that they transformed their yard into a scary scene for families to visit when it was Halloween. They thought it was an effort to help hundreds of hungry people across the city.Heidi Smith and her husband, Randy, had spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars preparing for t
33、his. They made it. This year, the Smith family is keeping most of their scary fun a surprise. But one thing is for sureif you go there, youll have some scary fun. Just get ready to scream there!The Smith family has turned their passion for Halloween into a way of giving back. Its free to visit, but
34、they ask people to bring a food donation that goes directly to Gleaners Food Bank. Its because 1 in 7 Hoosiers are going hungry every day. Last year in one night, the Smith family collected enough for 600 meals, more than they had expected. It all went to help the 174,000 hungry people in Marion Cou
35、nty. “It was so fun; it made all of the hard work all worth it.

40、rs to plan more Halloween activities.When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. 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 someon
41、e to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they 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 wit
42、h this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in 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
43、is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion.

Todays work place is
44、all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which theyre recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivatin
45、g factor (因素) in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can
46、do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.51The underlined phrase “shooting oneself in the foot” means _ in this passage.Athrow or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objectiveBto grow forth (向前) from the groundCto move or pass suddenly or swiftlyDto injure or harm ones own interests52An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when _
