One feature of a successful business is its ability to employ creativity to push into new territory （领域）. Those with staying power, however, have mastered an often-ignored factor that allows them to focus on the future: empathy（共情）. While that may surprise many, I am certain that the ability to connect with and relate to others is the force that moves business forward.

Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept 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 forward our goals.

Effectively understanding empathy involves regarding it as each person’s connection to the people and marketplace. A biological principle（原理）known as co-evolution （共同进化）explains that the adaptation of an organism （有机体）is caused by the change of a related object. Similarly, business 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. 38．The author thinks that to achieve success, a company must ________.

A．frequently develop in new areas

B．always stay powerful enough

C．focus on its future development

D．have thought for its employees

39．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 others helps people achieve goals

D．Competitive seldom exists in traditional workplaces.

40．Which of the following is the best example of co-evolution principle?

A．The pri ncipal is good at judging teachers’ points of view.

B．The CEO allows the engineers full freedom to choose their working hours.

C．The boss ignores the fact that his employees’ salary is below the average.

D．The manager refuses to reduce production despite the falling market demand.

The term "dark tourism" is far newer than the practice, which long existed before Pompeii became a dark attraction. Dr. Philip Stone, perhaps the world’s leading expert on dark tourism, considers the Roman Colosseum as one of the first dark tourist sites, where people travelled long distances to watch death as sport. Later, until the late 18th century, the appeal was crueler still in central London, where people paid money to watch mass hangings. Pies would be sold at the site, which was where Marble Arch（大理石拱门）stands today.

It was only in 1996 that "dark tourism"entered the scholarly vocabulary when two professors in Glasgow applied it while looking at sites related to the murder of John F. Kennedy. Those who study dark tourism give plenty of reasons for the growing phenomenon（现象）, including raised awareness of it as a recognizable thing. Access to sites has also improved with the arrival of cheap air travel. It is hard to imagine that the Auschwitz-Birkenau memoir and museum would now welcome more than two million visitors a year without its nearness to Krakow’s international airport. Peter Hohenhaus, a widely travelled dark tourist based in Vienna, also points to the sharp rise in off-the-beaten-track tourism, beyond the territory of popular guidebooks. "A lot of people don't want mainstream（主流）tourism and that often means visiting places that have a more recent history than, say, a Roman ruin." he says. You go to Sarajevo and most people remember the war being in the news, s o it feels closer to one’s own biography(传记).’

Hohenhaus is also a fan of "beauty in decay(腐朽)," the current cultural movement in

which urban ruins have become subject matter for expensive coffee-table books and a thousand Instagram accounts. The combination with death is clear. "I have always been drawn to ruined thing," the 54-year-old says. But while, like any tourism, dark tourism at its best is educational, the example of Grenfell Tower( a London tower block, destroyed by a fire in 2017 with 71 deaths) suggests 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 to early."Hohenhaus says." I will be interested to see Grenfell Tower up close. I can see the attraction. But I would not stand in the street taking a selfie merrily."

41．"Dark tourism"is tourism involving travelling to places ______________.

A．difficult to reach in ancient times

B．with a history before human civilization

C．historically related to death and sad events

D．famous for cruel but exciting sports in Europe

42．Which is one of the reasons for the development of dark tourism?

A．More scholars have begun to study it as a subject.

B．People have become rich enough to afford to travel around.

C．Lots of people are more satisfied with ordinary tourist destinations.

D．People have realized the significance of environmentally-friendly tourism.

43．The underlined word "unease" in Paragraph 3 implies that tourist may feel _____ at dark tourism sites.

A．uncomfortable B．relaxed

C．dissatisfied D．happy

44．Which of the following best serves as the tile of this passage?

A．Features of dark tourism B．Proper attitudes to dark tourism C．List of dark tourism sites D．Growing popularity of dark 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 h is 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.

‘Did you fire?’ the officer whispered.

‘ Yes.’

‘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 m aking a mystery. I order you to report. Was there anybody on the horse?’

‘Yes.’

‘Well?’

‘My father.’

45．What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A．The soldier was thought to be dead.

B．The soldier was watching attentively.

C．The soldier was punished for his crime.

D．The soldier was sleeping on his duty.

46．What can be concluded from Paragraphs 2 and 3?

A．The father discouraged the son.

B．The son decided to fight for his belief.

C．Both the son and the father survived the war.

D．The son was sent abroad to fight for the country.

47．Which of the following best shows the struggle in the soldier’s mind?

A．His first feeling was a great artistic delight.

B．His head slowly dropped until his face rested on the leaves.

C．He saw some foolish soldiers watering their horses in the open!

D．Having answered, he turned away his eyes and said no more.

48．Why did Carter Druse fire in the end?

A．He did hit duty. B．He was cold-blooded.

C．He recognized the horse rider. D．He pulled the trigger by accident. 49．The writer wrote this story mainly to show ____.

A．the greatness of a father B．the growth of a soldier

C．the cruelty of the war D．the wisdom of an officer
