Any good mystery must eventually uncover a villain, and in a recent documentary, "Who Killed the Electric Car？", the filmmakers duly pointed the finger at General Motors. The【C1】______ is not so simple, but there is little doubt that when GM pulled the plug on its EV1 battery-powered car a decade ago, other【C2】______ followed the Giant carmaker's lead.
Yet GM has now 【C3】______ its enthusiasm for electric vehicles — or at least for their close cousins, hybrid cars (混合动力汽车). At the upcoming auto show, the company is expected to【C4】______ a prototype that overtakes existing hybrids，【C5】______ Toyota's Pruis.
Today's hybrids capture energy normally【C6】______ during braking and coasting and use it to power an electric motor that can provide extra bursts of【C7】______ when needed. The Pruis and other hybrids can also run【C8】______ battery power alone at low speeds over short distances, such as in stop-start traffic.
But GM's new car is expected to be a "plug-in" hybrid, which, as its name implied, can be recharged by 【C9】______ it into the mains (干线). Together with a big battery pack, this provides a much larger range in all-electric【C10】______ , after which the petrol engine kicks in. GM's car is expected to go around 50 miles (80 km) in all-electric mode，【C11】______ enough for American commuters, who would need to use the 【C12】______ engine on longer trips only.

At first there may be good feelings too. A new and better job is just around the corner. It's nice to be able to lie in bed in the morning or spend more time with the children; have more time to think. But, unless a better job does turn up, the chances are the days start getting longer. and time becomes harder to fill. (31) Many people pass through periods of difficulty in sleeping and eating. They feel irritable and depressed, often isolated and lonely.
Despite all these problems though, unemployment can be a chance for a fresh start. You can discover that (30) it provides an opportunity to sort out or rethink what you want from life and how best you can get it. (31)You can use the time to plan how to field a new job, learn a new skill, develop your hobbies or see if you can run your own business.

The authors' research led to a new and telling discovery: that every leader, regardless of age, had undergone at least one intense, transformational experience -- what the authors call a "crucible" (severe test). These events can either make you or break you. For emerging leaders, they do more making than breaking, providing key lessons to help a person move ahead confidently.
If a crucible helps a person to become leader, there are four essential qualities that allow someone to remain one, according to the authors. They are: an "adaptive capacity" that lets people not only survive inevitable setbacks, heartbreaks, and difficulties but also learn from them; an ability to engage others through shared meaning or a common vision; a distinctive and compelling voice that communicates one's conviction and desire to do the right thing; and a sense of integrity that allows a leader to distinguish between good and evil.
That sounds obvious enough to be commonplace, until you look at some recent failures that show how valid these dictums (formal statements of opinion) are. The authors believe that former Coca Cola Co. Chairman M. Douglas Ivester lasted just 28 months because "his grasp of context was sorrowful". Among other things, Ivester degraded Coke's highest-ranking African-American even as the company was losing a ＄200 million class action brought by black employees. Procter & Gamble Co. ex-CEO Durk Jager lost his job because he failed to communicate the urgent need for the sweeping changes he was making.
It's striking, too, that the authors found their geezers (whose formative period, as the authors define them, was 1945 to 1954, and who were shaped by World Wm' Il) sharing what they believed to be a critical trait -- the sense of possibility and wonder more often associated with childhood. "Unlike those defeated by time and age, our geezers have remained much like our geeks (who came of age between 1991 and 2000, and grew up ' virtual' , ' visual' , and ' digital' ) -- open, willing to take risks, hungry for knowledge and experience, courageous, and eager to see what the new day brings", the authors write.
The passage indicates that leadership research ______.
听力原文：M: Hi, Hellen. How are you doing？
W: Pretty good. Thanks. (19)Have you helped me look at my graduate school application, and the statement of purpose I wrote？
M: Well, yeah. Basically it's good. What you might actually do is to take some of the different points here and actually break them out into separate paragraphs, like your purpose for applying for graduate study, specialty, and why do you want to do the area you specify, what you want to do with your degree when you get it.
W: OK, right.
M: So you may expand on each point. Expand some more on what's happened in your life and what shows your motivation and interest in this area geology.
W: OK, so make it a little more personal？ That's OK？
M: That's fine. They look for that stuff. It's critical that somebody see what your passion is and your personal motivation for doing this. (20)You might give a little more explanation about your unique undergraduate background, like the music program, what you got from that and why you decided to change. I mean it is kind of unusual to go from music to geology. Right？
W: Yeah. I was, I was afraid of that, you know, maybe the personal type stuff wouldn't be what they want. But...
M: You know, I think probably your music background is the most unique thing that you get your records.
W: Right.
M: So you see, you get to make yourself stand out from a couple of a hundred of applications. Does that help any？
W: Yeah, it does. It gives me some good ideas.
M: Also, (21)think about presentation, I mean the presentation formats, your grammar, and all that stuff they are looking at in your materials at the same time.
W: Right. OK.
