9、one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left my home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The

10、 man wouldnt even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth. So I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, Would you like to

11、 buy a chair? He looked at it over carefully and said, Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it? Twenty pounds. I said. OK, he said, I will give you twenty pounds.

Never has this concern been greater in recent years than right now. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help. Hit th

17、e sales. No one wants to get up at four oclock in the morning and fight to get the best deal on Black Friday, and its surely very tough to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal, but sometimes it can be well worth. Many retailers(零售商) offer specials all through the day and

18、 some even offer online Black Friday specials, so you may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday. Pay close attention to advertisements. Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers hungry for business will do just about whatever to get you in the store. Pay very close attentio

19、n to weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers and you may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops. Shop online.

Kerwin joined AU in 1975 and has held numerous department and leadership positions, including head of the School of Public Affairs

25、. In this interview, he speaks about developing leadership among AU students and inspiring them to public service and the lessons he has learned as the president of American University.“The longer I do this kind of work, the clearer it is to me that leadership is a collective activity. This happens

26、here at American University hundreds of times every day at every level of the doing and managing hard work to reach those goals. Simply, leadership cannot be the field or responsibility of one person or a small group at the top. At its best, it is up to the organization.”“A presidents role is to mak

27、e that clear, ensure it happens, and provide space, ideas, encouragement and acknowledgment of accomplishments. Vision(有远见卓识) is important, but one that colleagues have not contributed to or are not widely shared will not serve the purpose. I have also learned delegation(授权) is also important to suc

28、cess and that it is a process of constant adjustment, not a single act. No one is perfect in the work we do, and by recognizing this, youre developing a healthy culture that supports reform. And, of course, none of this relieves the president of most responsibility for the institution, and the need

29、to be clearly and visibly accountable.”“Another lesson is that crises(危机) assume a life of their own. They are a great time to learn and a bad time to plan. It is when times are good and stable that you need to examine the things that are of the greatest risk to your organization in the long term. A

34、etter marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisers give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive (行政的；管理的) circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up th

35、e executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connec

36、ted not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships a

37、nd less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally femal

38、e jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required. This is true even in politics. When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attract

39、iveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote f
