Shakespeare said that“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.”So it is with leadership. Some men are born with a capacity for leadership. Some acquire that art by watching and studying the actions of those around them. Other persons find themselves thrown into unusual situations which require them to draw on resources they never realized they had, and events bring out marked leadership. Most of us are never put to such tests. Most of us are not born leaders.
We often hear people say,“He's a great guy to work for.”We see workers go out of their way to do things for certain supervisors(管理人). We see them carry out instructions cheerfully and well or even add something to the doing of the job which was unexpected. In other words, they put themselves into the job and give it that“plus effort” which people give only when they feel that they are part of the team, that they are making a contribution to its success, and that their contributions are understood and appreciated.
Now this is not something which just happens. It is built on a one-to-one relationship. It is reflection of the person's attitude toward the job, the supervisor, and the company. Where it exists, it has been developed over a period, appreciates their efforts, and tries to give them all a fair deal.
(1) At the beginning of the passage, Shakespeare's words are quoted(引用)________.
[ ]
A.to make readers appreciate the writer's style
B.to help describe different kinds of leaders
C.to stress the importance of good leadership
D.to slow the writer's appreciation of Shakespeare's ideas
(2) The sentence“Most of us are never put to such tests.”means that“________”.
[ ]
A.most of us are not born leaders
B.tests of leadership ability are necessary to most of us
C.most of us just don't have the opportunity to show leadership ability
D.most of us are not interested in being leaders
(3) Workers are willing to do more than they are told to when ________.
[ ]
A.they are determined to achieve great successes
B.they want to be promoted(提升)
C.they are faced with challenging tasks
D.they have an understanding supervisor

During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries the London district of Southwark was prosperous (繁荣), and a very important and far-reaching development was taking place at Bankside, an area situated just beside the church now known as Southwark Cathedral. The Rose Theatre, the Swan, the Hope Playhouse and Bear Garden were set up here along with the famous Globe Theatre, in which Shakespeare acted.
William Shakespeare is commemorated (纪念) in Southwark Cathedral today by the modern memorial window in the south aisle. The window was designed by Christopher Webb in 1954, after an earlier window had been destroyed in the war, and describes characters from Shakespeare's plays. Below it is a figure of Shakespeare, carved (雕刻) by Henry McCarthy in 1992, set against a background of seventeenth-century Southwark in relief (浮雕), showing the Globe Theatre, Winchester Palace and the Tower of St. Saviour's Church. This memorial was provided by public support and was dedicated (奉献) in 1911, and every year a birthday service, attended by many great actors and actresses, is held here in honour of Shakespeare's genius. Shakespeare's brother Edmund was buried here in 1607, and, although the position of Edmund's grave is unknown, he is commemorated by an inscribed (刻写) stone.
