One of the features of a successful business is its ability to employ creativity to constantly push into new territory（领域）. Those with staying power, however, have mastered an often-overlooked factor that allows them to focus on the future clearly: empathy (共情). While that may surprise many, I am certain that the ability to connect with and
【支点培优】relate to others is the force that moves businesses forward.
Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept of a traditional workplace——competitive, the reality is that for business leaders to experience success, they need to not just see or hear the activity around them, but also relate to the people around.
Some may think they can achieve their goals without much thought for other people. This attitude works for some, but at some point often sooner rather than later —— everyone needs to depend on their relationships and build personal and professional connections. Successful people do not operate alone; each of us needs the support of others to achieve positive results that push us toward our goals.
Effectively understanding empathy involves regarding it as each person’s connection to the people and marketplace. A biological principle known as co-evolution explains that the adaptation of an organism（有机体） is caused by the change of a related object. Similarly, businesses and their leaders participate in co-evolution-type relationships. Business success depends on empathetic leaders who are able to adapt, build on the strengths around them, and relate to their environment. When businesses fail, it is often because leaders have stopped focusing on understanding their environment and instead stay separated in their own operations.
To develop an effective workforce, we must be willing to give in and meet people where they are. This can be uncomfortable, particularly when you feel like your position makes more sense or offers a better solution. A
significant part of developing empathy, however, is learning to understand, respect and adopt another person’s point of view rather forcing your own.
24．The author thinks that to achieve success, a company must ________. A．frequently develop in new areas C．focus on its future development 25．What can be inferred from the passage? A.Never giving up is the key to success.B.Few business leaders experience success.C.Support from other helps people achieve goals.D.Competitive seldom exists in traditional workplaces.
26．Which of the following is the best example of co-evolution principle?
A．The boss is too occupied to realize that his employees’ income is below the average.

B．always stay powerful enough D．have thought for its employees
B．The head of the news agency offers little bonus to the journalists who work extra hours. C．The principal promises flexible working hours after the school moves to the countryside. D．The factory director insists on increasing the output despite the declining market demand.

The term ‘dark tourism’ is far newer than the practice, which long predates Pompeii's emergence as a dark attraction. Dr Philip Stone, perhaps the world's leading academic expert on dark tourism, considers the Roman Colosseum to be one of first dark tourist sites, where people travelled long distances to watch death as sport. Later, until the late 18\to watch mass hangings. Dealers would sell pies at the site, which was roughly where Marble Arch stands today.
It was only in 1996 that ‘dark tourism' entered the scholarly vocabulary when two academics in Glasgow applied it while looking at sites associated with the murder of John F.Kennedy. Those who study dark tourism identify plenty of reasons for the growing phenomenon, including raised awareness of it as an identifiable thing. Access to sites has also improved with the arrival of cheap air travel. It's hard to imagine that the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial and museum would now welcome mare than two million visitors a year were it not for its nearness to Krakow's international airport. Peter Hohenhaus, a widely travelled dark tourist based in Vienna, also points to the broader rise in off-the-beaten track tourism, beyond the territory of popular guidebooks and TripAdvisor rankings. ‘A lot of people don't want mainstream tourism and that often means engaging with places that have a more recent history than, say, a Roman ruin.\one’s owe biography(传记)”
Hohenhaus is also a fan of‘ beauty in decay’, the contemporary cultural movement in which urban ruins have become subject matter for expensive coffee-table books and a thousand lnstagram (照片墙)accounts. The crossover with death is clear. “I have always been drawn to ruined things,\dark tourism at its best is educational, the example of Grenfell Tower (a London tower block, destroyed by a fire in 2017 with 7l deaths) hints at the unease felt at some sites. “I remember the Lonely Planet Bluelist book had a chapter about dark tourism a while ago and one of the rules was 'don't go back too early'. \to see Grenfell Tower up close. I can see the attraction. But I would not stand in the street taking a selfie(自拍)merrily.”
27.'Dark tourism' can be defined as tourism involving travel to places____________. A.Difficult to reach in ancient timesB.With a history before human civilizationC historically related to death and sad eventsD.Famous for cruel but exciting sports in Europe28.Dark tourism came into sight when_________.A More scholars have begun to study it as a subject.
B.People have become rich enough to afford to travel around. Ai
C.More and more people have become dissatisfied with ordinary tourist attractionsD.People have realized the significance of environmentally-friendly tourism.

One sunny afternoon in the autumn of the year 1861, a soldier lay in bushes by the side of a road in western Virginia, America. He lay at full length upon his stomach, his head upon his left forearm. His right hand loosely grasped his gun. But for the slight rhythmic movement of his back, he might have been thought to be dead. He was asleep at his post of duty. But if found, he would be dead shortly afterward, death being the legal punishment for his crime.
The sleeping soldier was a young Virginian named Carter Druse. He was the son of wealthy parents, an old child. His home was but a few miles from where he now lay. One morning he rose from the breakfast table and said seriously:’ Father, the Union army has arrived at Graton. I am going to join it. ‘
The father lifted his head, looked at his son a moment in silence, and replied,’ Go Carter, and whatever may occur, do what you consider to be your duty. Virginia, which you betray, must get on without you. If we both live to the end of the war, we will speak further of the matter.’
So Carter Druse, bowed to his father and left the home of his childhood. His bravery won him his selection for his present duty at the extreme post. Nevertheless, he fell asleep, exhausted. What good or bad angel came in a dream to awake him from his state of crime, who shall say? He quietly raised his forehead from his arm and looked between the bushes.
His first feeling was a great artistic delight. On the cliff(悬崖) was a man sitting on a horse, straight and soldierly. The face of the rider turned slightly away; he was looking downward to the bottom of the valley.
Fully awake and keenly alive now, Druse cautiously (谨慎地) pushed the gun forward through the bushes and covered a spot of horseman’s breast. A touch upon the trigger(扳机) and all would have bene well with Druse. At that moment, the horseman turned and looked in his direction—seemed to look into his very face, into his eyes, into his brave heart.
Druse grew pale; his whole body shook. His hand fell away from his weapon, and his head slowly dropped until his face rested on the leaves.
The duty of the soldier was clear—the man must be shot dead. But no –there is a hope; he may have discovered nothing—perhaps he is but admiring the beauty of the landscape. Druse looked downward. He saw some foolish soldiers watering their horses in the open!
Druse fixed his eyes again upon the group of man and horse in the sky, and again it was through the sights of his gun. But this time his aim was at the horse. In his memory rang the words of his father,’ Whatever may occur, do what you consider to be your duty.’
He fired.
Ten minutes had passed when a Federal officer came to him cautiously.
【支点培优】‘Did you fire?’ the officer whispered.

‘ Yes.’ ‘ At what?’
‘A horse. It was standing on the rock. You see it is no longer there. It went over the cliff.’
‘ The soldier’s face was white, but he showed no other sign of emotion. Having answered, he turned away his eyes and said no more. The officer did not understand.
‘See here, Druse,’ he said, ‘ It is no use making a mystery. I order you to report. Was there anybody on the horse?’

Have you ever wished you didn't have to wake up early and go all the way to school? For 700, 000American kids, this wish comes true, 36 This kind of learning has different names: online learning or distance learning. Regardless of what it is called, this idea may create an impression of a lonely kid reading pages of information on a computer screen rather than from a book or an image of another kid spending the day playing video games instead of learning mathematics or reading a book. Where online education is concerned, both of these are false! Actually, online learning simply means learning differently.
37 Flexibility is the main advantage. Students can attend school wherever and whenever they desire. Homework can be turned in from anywhere the student has Internet access. Additionally, many online schools will allow
