“The most important quality for a leader of an organization to have is not the ability to plan, to organize, and to solve problems but rather the ability to communicate the organization’s mission and to inspire people to work toward fulfilling that mission.”
Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your position with reasons and/or examples from your experience, observations, or reading.
AA:
The following editorial appeared in the South Fork Gazette.
“Last year, the city contracted with Flower Power to plant a variety of flowers in big decorative pots on Main Street and to water them each week. By mid-summer, many of the plants were wilted. This year, the city should either contract for two waterings a week or save money by planting artificial flowers in the pots. According to Flower Power, the initial cost for artificial flowers would be twice as much as for real plants, but after two years, we would come out ahead. Public reaction certainly supports this position: in a recent survey, over 1,200 Gazette readers said that the city wastes money and should find ways to reduce public spending.”
Discuss how well reasoned… etc.

Totally forgot, sorry. It’s relatively easy. Being careful is all you need.

I. About how dolphins distinguish their own sounds from the others in the ocean
Paragraph 1: 海豚怎样辨别自己的声音让专家觉得很有意思之类。。。因为在海里有很多很多的杂音。还举了一个浅水地方的例子，说海底里有很多小虾子发出的clicks
Paragraph 2: 海豚发出的click trains and whistles seem designed to distinguish their own sounds from the others’. 而且whistles 有很规律性的变法 (unvarying pattern)。实验里面证明了海豚会等到接受了第一个clicks 的echo之后才发出第二个click trains
II. 关于意大利工业革命时期（还是文艺复兴还是别的）女人的社会地位
Paragraph 1: 某个人说这个时期的the very opportunities for men 损害了女性的机会。后来作者说这个理论based on prescriptive rather descriptive materials。就是这个人用了当时的literates的
一些文章，可是这些这是一小部分人的想法，不一定就能代表群众。
Paragraph 2: 作者提出了另外一个人的理论，which contradicts with the former one。说当时女性就业率的提高至少让社会知道了女人除了能当家务以外还可以给家里提供financial input。这样起码提高了她们在社会的认同与地位。（大意如此，细节你们到时候好好看看）
III. 关于美国的Chinese 移民
Paragraph 1: 中国人到了美国后成立了很多hui kuan organizations，跟工会差不多，有什么什么样的功能（有题）。后来hui kuan 之间又组合了一个更高的架构。
Paragraph 2: 作者说人们往往忽略了financial service的一部分。说了很多有关提供financial services 的 intermediaries的一些特性。说这些人往往很快会回国或者是心里很想回国（彻底忘了），所以挑这样的能提供liquidity的工作（好像是这样，也记不清了）。
IV. 最后爆赶，什么都忘了
