Leadership is hardly a new area of
research, of course. For years, academics have debated whether leaders are born
or made, whether a person who lacks charisma (capacity to inspire devotion and
enthusiasm) can become a leader, and what makes leaders fail. Warren G. Bennis,
possibly the world’s foremost expert on leading, has, together with his
co-author, written two bestsellers on the topic. Generally, researchers have
found that you can’t explain leadership by way of intelligence, birth order,
family wealth or stability, level of education, race, or sex. From one leader to
the next, there’s enormous variance in every one of those factors.
The authors’ research led to a new and telling discovery: that every
leader, regardless of age, had undergone at least one intense, transformational
experience -- what the authors call A. top levels of intelligence and education and devotion B. remarkable ability to encourage people with loyalty and hope C. striking qualifies of going through serious trials and sufferings D. strong personalities that arouse admiration and confidence

[单项选择]Passage Two
Reading leadership literature, you’d sometimes think that everyone has the potential to be an effective leader.
I don’t believe that to be true. In fact, I see way fewer truly effective leaders than I see people stuck in positions of leadership who are sadly incompetent and seriously misguided about their own abilities.
Part of the reason this happens is a lack of honest self-assessment by those who aspire to (追求) leadership in the first place.

A great leader will assess each situation on its meri A. Many of them are used to taking charge. B. Few of them are equal to their positions. C. Many of them fail to fully develop their potential. D. Few of them are familiar with leadership literature.
