20、 doesn't exactly hold me back in my work; it is just that I am very _38_ of what I do, and I'm always _39_ on the way I work, think and talk. I have also learned over the years that making a decision is often more important than making the _40_ decision. Preferably your decisions are the rig

23、d, because other people seem to love it.”A couple of years ago, 1 came to the _46_ that I was not stupid at all. When people in meetings say things I don't understand I _47_ up and tell them so. Usually, I hear a sigh of _48_ in the room and find out nobody understood what was being talked about

24、.When I don't understand a business model it usually means there is not one, or it _49_. Turns out I'm not stupid and _50_ I don't understand it, most people won't understand it at all. _51_ doubting my own abilities I've learned to _52_ my “bullshit radar” a bit more and not und

35、ach of the reviewers thinks highly of the four books.D. All of the four books don't belong to a certain book series.BLee Kuan Yew emerged onto the international stage as the founding father of the state of Singapore, then a city of about 1 million. He developed into a world statesman who acted a

36、s a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe.Fate initially seemed not to have provided him with a stage on which to achieve more than modest local success. In the first phase of decolonization, Singapore emerged as a part of Malaya. It was cut loose because of tensions between Singapore's

37、 largely Chinese population and the Malay majority and, above all, to teach the city a lesson of dependency. Malaya_undoubtedly_expected_that_reality_would_cure_Singapore_of_its_independent_spirit.But great men become such through visions beyond material calculations. Lee challenged conventional wis

38、dom by opting for statehood. The choice reflected a deep faith in the virtues of his people. He asserted that a city located on a sandbar with no economic resource to draw upon, and whose major industry as a colonial naval base had disappeared, could nevertheless thrive and achieve international rep

39、utation by building on its principal asset(財富): the intelligence, industry and dedication of its people.A great leader takes his or her society from where it is to where it has never been indeed, where it as yet cannot imagine being. By insisting on quality education, by suppressing corruption and b

40、y basing governance on merit, Lee and his colleagues raised the annual per capita income of their population from $500 at the time of independence in 1965 to roughly $55，000 today. In a generation, Singapore became an international financial center, the leading intellectual metropolis of Southeast A

41、sia, the location of the region's major hospitals and a favored site for conferences on international affairs. It did so by adhering to an extraordinary pragmatism: by opening careers to the best talents and encouraging them to adopt the best practices from all over the world.Superior performanc

42、e was one component of that achievement. Superior leadership was even more important. As the decades went by, it was moving and inspirational to see Lee, the mayor of a mediumsize city, become a mentor of global strategic order.The great tragedy of Lee's life was that his beloved wife was felled

43、 by a stroke that left her a prisoner in her body, unable to communicate or receive communication. Through all that time, Lee sat by her bedside in the evening reading to her. He had faith that she understood despite the evidence to the contrary.Perhaps this was Lee Kuan Yew's role in his era. H

44、e had the same hope for our world. He fought for its better instincts even when the evidence was ambiguous. But many of us heard him and will never forget him.()58. Why did Lee Kuan Yew choose to lead Singapore to be independent?A. He intended to act as a kind of conscience to leaders around the glo

48、. D. Outspoken and humorous.CScientists from the United States say they have found fish and other creatures living under icy waters in Antarctica. They made the announcement after completing three months of research at the Ross Ice Shelf, the world's largest floating ice sheet.The researchers ho

49、ped to find clues to explain the force of the melting ice and its effect on sea level rise. Reed Scherer and Ross Powell are with Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. They just finished up their research on our southernmost continent. Money for the project came from America's Nation

50、al Science Foundation.“We chose a study site where, in the first year, we went into the subglacial(冰川下的) lake and tried to understand the environment in there, both ecologically and in terms of the ice dynamics about how the lake operates, and how the sediment(沉淀物) underneath the ice sheet operates,

51、 as well, because it's the water and the sediment underneath the ice that controls how fast the ice is flowing into the ocean.” says Ross Powell, who led the investigation. The team included scientists, engineers, mechanics and technicians. They used tractors to pull electric generators, science

52、 laboratories, heavy machinery and other supplies across the ice from the main US. scientific base at McMurdo Station to the researcher's camp. The camp was near a subglacial lake, where an earlier study took place.Ross Powell says the latest study may provide evidence that can help predict the

53、effect of climate change on rising sea levels.“What we have found is that these are very sensitive areas to the stability of how dynamic the ice is and how fast the ice may react to increases of melting both from the ocean and the atmosphere.”Among the new instruments built for the project was a pow

54、erful hot water drill. The researchers used the drill to dig down some 740 meters. They collected water, sediment and other material from the grounding zone.Working around the clock before the deep hole refroze, they sent a video camera down to the 400squaremeter undersea area.Reed Scherer says the

55、video images they saw in the Command Center were a total surprise.“It's a very mobile environment. The bottom is changing constantly. And so the things that we saw were all very mobile organisms, things that swim and some things that crawl. And obviously they are getting enough nutrition.that th

56、ey can thrive. Some of the little crustaceanlike creatures called amphipods that we saw swam quite quickly and were quite active.”This is the farthest south that fish have ever been seen. How did the creatures get here? What do they feed on? And what effect will the retreating ice have on them?Ross

57、Powell says the ice and sediment cores taken from the grounding zone can offer clues.“We know that the ice is melting there at the moment and so by opening up the cores once they get back, we hope to be able to understand what the ice was doing in the past, relative to what it is doing now. And because it is melting so fast or seems to be melting fast at the moment, we anticipate that there will be some differences that we'll see in the history of the ice sheet
