Very often people with leadership titles are not necessarily leaders. Parents, spouses, teammates, colleagues, f

3、riends, classmates or playmates can all be leaders if they so desire. A teacher can also be as a leader as he or she is a friend. In fact, most of us spend a great deal of time trying to get other people to do willingly what we want them to do, and that, in the purest sense of the term, is what lead

4、ership is all about. Of course, we can force people to do things for a short period of time, but that is not leadership.

29、解析：解析For the last 82 years, Sweden's Nobel Academy has decided who will receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, thereby determining who will be elevated from the great and the near greatto the immortal. But today the Academy is coming under heavy criticism both from the without and from within. C

30、ritics contend that the selection of the winners often has less to do with true writing ability than with the peculiar internal politics of the Academy and of Sweden itself.According to Ingmar Bjorksten, the cultural editor for one of the country's two major newspapers, the prize continues to re
