The most exciting kind of education is also the most personal. Nothing is beyond the joy of discovering for yourself something that is a big ___51___ to you! It may be an idea or a bit of information you come across accidentally or a sudden understanding, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal ___52___ are the "payoff" in education. A teacher may direct you to learning and even ___53___ you in it-but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. That is ___54___ you.

A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at ___55___ stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a ___56___ where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual process, and ___57___ learning process.

Writing a research paper is ___59___ just a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing (综合), which forms the ___60___ of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks.

Leadership is a word getting a lot of attention these days. It appears in the title of new advice, how-to, and business books with amazing ___51___. Definitions vary, but most of the ones I‘ve seen don‘t help much. It‘s a totally ___52___ subject: You think A is a great leader; I like B‘s ___53___ better. That is, you may not be able to ___54___ it, but you know it when you see it.

So this is my take on the elusive (难以捉摸的) concept:

Years ago, leadership had ___55__ to do with a specific ability. ―Leader‖ was the ___56___ given to the emperor of the organization. The person was the commander, the ___57___ with complete control. But ___58___ there is another way to establish yourself as a leader.

Here is my definition: Leadership is the ability to get others to do what you want, need, or expect them to do, and feel good about doing it. It is the ___59___ part (feeling good about doing it) that is so elusive.

If I am in charge, I can certainly demand you do what I expect you to do and insist you get it done. I can give orders. ___60___, I am the boss, and everyone knows what that means. It is a sure way to destroy the atmosphere of the ___61___.

Today, I believe that approach is on the way ___62___, although it will always be with us. When people hate the boss, sure, the boss is called ―leader‖—but not a good one, because the followers are an unhappy bunch. If they had another, ___63___ job to go to, they would be gone in a minute.

Here is a list of the qualities I believe it ___64___ to be a good leader: 1. Likable;

2. Trustworthy;

3. Competent and experienced;

4. Part of the team;

5. Able and willing to participate;
