rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done” Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-being of a social group’s members Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s goals Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group As the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect What does the passage mainly discuss? A The problems faced by leaders B How leadership differs in small and large groups C How social groups determine who will lead them D The role of leaders in social groups The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT A recruitment B formal election process C specific leadership training D traditional cultural patterns In mentioning “natural leaders” in paragraph 2, the author is making the point that A few people qualify as “natural leaders” B there is no proof that “natural leaders” exist C “natural leaders" are easily accepted by the members of a social group D “natural leaders” share a similar set of characteristics Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2? A A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another group B Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person C A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership D Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on Page of A ensuring harmonious relationships B sharing responsibility with group members C identifying new leaders D achieving a goal The underlined word “collective” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A necessary B typical C group D particular The underlined word “them” in paragraph refers to A expressive leaders B goals of the group C group members D tension and conflict As mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 4, a “secondary relationship” between a leader and the members of a group could best be characterized as A distant B enthusiastic C unreliable D personal The underlined word “resolve” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A avoid repeating B talk about C avoid thinking about D find a solution for 10 Paragraphs and organize the discussion of leadership primarily in terms of A examples that illustrate a problem B cause and effect analysis C narration of events D comparison and contrast Session Choose the correct answer to complete each gap in the following passage by writing the corresponding letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet MY DUTCH HOLIDAY It was the first time I had ever been to Holland before and when I set off in early September, I never (1) what adventures lay ahead of me In order to (2) the most of my time, I had carefully planned a route to (3) a number of small islands as well as some pretty countryside I reached Wijkam See, a (4) starting point for cyclists where a local tourist office gave out information I headed off along one of Holland’s many cycle tracks which (5) out of town and made my way to Holtheim, where I had planned to spend my first night From personal (6) , when you are travelling on your own, unexpected and often pleasant surprises tend to crop up and this trip was no (7) I popped into a local bar in the outskirts of Amsterdam for a coffee and ended up chatting with a really friendly man who turned (8) to be the owner of the only restaurant in the village He insisted on (9) me for lunch Not only that, but he (10) two enormous glasses of beer to celebrate!
