It was a big honor for a student who had never taken on a leadership role before. However, the first challenge hit him right away: assigning the lead role. Two girls in the drama club, Emma and Sophia, both dreamed of playing Cinderella. Half the team thought Emma's sweet voice was perfect for the part, while the others argued that Sophia's acting skills were more impressive. All eyes turned to Tony, waiting for his decision. But he froze. Deep down, he thought Sophia was a better fit, yet he was terrified of making the wrong call and hurting Emma's feelings. Tony's long silence made Emma upset. She frowned and yelled, "Fine, I quit!" before running out of the classroom. The whole room fell silent at once. Tony stood there, feeling helpless. His first day as a director turned out to be a total disaster. He sat down at his desk, staring at the script, and wondered what he could do to fix the mess. 1. What drama was Tony chosen to direct? A. Snow White B. Cinderella C. Sleeping Beauty D. Little Red Riding Hood 2. Why was Tony in trouble at the beginning? A. He couldn't write a good script for the drama B. He didn't know how to work with the drama team C. He had to choose between two girls for the lead role D. He forgot to prepare the costumes for the performance 3. What did Tony think about Emma and Sophia deep down? A. Emma was better at singing than Sophia B. Sophia was more suitable for the lead role C. Both girls were not good enough for Cinderella D. He couldn't tell who was better for the part 4. How did Emma react to Tony's silence? A. She cried and asked for another role B. She got angry and left the drama club C. She tried to talk to Tony and find out why D. She asked the team members to give her a chance 5. How did Tony feel after Emma ran out? A. Angry and disappointed B. Excited but nervous C. Helpless and regretful D. Proud but worried B Dear Tony, I was sorry to hear about your trouble with the drama club. Being a leader isn't easy, especially when you have to make tough choices that might upset others. Good teamwork doesn't just happen by chance; it needs a responsible leader who can handle disagreements wisely. Here is my advice for you. First, you should find Emma and have a calm talk with her. Ask her why she wanted to play Cinderella so much, and listen carefully to her thoughts. Talk about her strengths and what she can bring to the role. This will make her feel that her voice is heard, even if she doesn't get the lead part. Then, why not hold a small audition for both Emma and Sophia? Let them each perform a short scene from Cinderella in front of the whole team. After that, ask everyone to vote for the person they think is the best fit for Cinderella. You can also offer Emma another important role that suits her talents, like the fairy godmother. Finally, remember that you don't have to solve every problem alone. As a director, you can turn to your team for help and ideas. When everyone feels involved in the decision-making, they will be more willing to work together. I hope these suggestions will help you fix things and make the drama a big success! Best wishes, Ms Carter 6. What does Ms Carter think of being a leader? A. It is an easy job that everyone can do well B. It requires the ability to handle disagreements wisely C. It only means giving orders to team members D. It is a job that can make everyone happy 7.

Let Emma and Sophia have an audition and let the team vote B. Ask the teacher to make the final decision for the team C. Choose Emma because she is more upset about the problem D. Give both girls the lead role and let them take turns 9. What else does Ms Carter advise Tony to do as a director? A. To make all decisions by himself to save time B. To offer Emma a less important role to make her happy C. To turn to the team for help when meeting problems D. To stop the drama performance if the problem isn't fixed 10.

To ask Tony to choose Emma as the lead actor of the drama C On the morning of May 25, 1975, a team of five Chinese climbers set out to reach the top of Mount Lhotse, one of the world's highest peaks. The most difficult part of their journey was a steep, icy slope known as the "West Wall". For hours, they climbed slowly, fighting against strong winds and thin air. When they got close to the wall, they found that the ice was too smooth to climb with their tools. Zhang Wei, the team leader, stepped forward. He tried three times to climb the wall, but each time he slipped and fell back. His hands were frozen, and his legs were shaking from tiredness. "I can't climb it alone," he thought. Then he had a brave idea. He lay down on the ice and said to his teammate Li Tao, "Step on my shoulders. I'll lift you up." Li Tao hesitated, but Zhang Wei insisted. Slowly, Zhang Wei pushed himself up, letting Li Tao climb over the wall. He did the same for two other teammates. By then, Zhang Wei was completely exhausted and could barely stand. The other three climbers wanted to stay and help him, but Zhang Wei told them to keep going. They left him their extra oxygen and continued their journey. After hours of hard climbing, they finally reached the top of Mount Lhotse at sunset. They were the first Chinese team to conquer the peak from the west side. 11. Which mountain did the Chinese climbers try to climb? A. Mount Qomolangma B. Mount Lhotse C. Mount Kilimanjaro D. Mount Fuji 12. What was the most difficult part of their journey? A. A steep and icy slope called the "West Wall" B. A long and boring path through the forest C. A deep river that they had to cross D. A dark cave that they had to pass through 13. What did Zhang Wei do when he couldn't climb the West Wall alone? A. He asked his teammates to carry him up the wall B. He gave up and told the team to return to the base camp C. He lay down and let his teammates step on his shoulders D. He used his tools to make holes in the ice for climbing 14. Why did the other climbers leave Zhang Wei behind? A. Because they didn't want to help him anymore B. Because Zhang Wei was too tired to keep climbing C. Because they wanted to reach the top by themselves D. Because Zhang Wei asked them to go on without him 15. What achievement did the team make? A. They were the first team to climb Mount Lhotse B. They were the first Chinese team to climb the West Wall C. They were the first Chinese team to reach Mount Lhotse from the west D. They were the first team to climb Mount Lhotse without oxygen D Leadership and teamwork are two sides of the same coin. A good leader knows how to take responsibility, listen to others, and make wise decisions. Tony, the young drama director, learned this lesson when he had to choose between two girls for the lead role. At first, he was afraid to make a decision, but with the right advice, he could turn the situation around. True leaders also show courage and sacrifice. Zhang Wei, the climber who became a "human ladder" for his teammates, is a perfect example. He put his team's goal above his own desire to reach the top. His selfless act helped his team achieve something great, even though he didn't get to stand on the peak himself. Whether it's leading a drama club or climbing a mountain, teamwork and leadership go hand in hand. A leader can't succeed without a supportive team, and a team can't reach its goal without a responsible leader. Both require trust, communication, and a willingness to put others first. 16. What does the writer mean by saying "Leadership and teamwork are two sides of the same coin"? A. Leadership and teamwork are both important and connected B. Leadership is more important than teamwork for success C. Teamwork is more important than leadership for success D. Leadership and teamwork are two different things that have nothing to do with each other 17. What can Tony learn from his trouble with the drama club? A. He should never be a leader again to avoid trouble B. A good leader should listen to others and make wise decisions C. He should choose the lead actor by himself without asking others D. A leader should let team members do whatever they want 18. Why is Zhang Wei a good example of a leader? A. He was the first one to reach the top of Mount Lhotse B. He was the strongest climber in the whole team C. He sacrificed himself to help his teammates reach the goal D. He knew how to use tools to climb the difficult West Wall 19.

Patience, kindness and the ability to listen to others 20. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to be a good director of a school drama B. How to climb a high mountain with a team C.
