The vast multitude of stars are wandering about in space. A few form groups
which journey in company, but the majority are solitary travelers. And they travel
through a universe so spacious that it is an event of almost unimaginable rarity
for a star to come anywhere near to another star. For the most part each voyages
in splendid isolation, like a ship on an empty ocean. In a scale model in which the
stars are ships, the average ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest
neighbor, whence it is easy to understand why a ship seldom finds another within
hailing distance.

A. Most of the stars travel in isolation

B. The universe is very large
C. A star very frequently comes near to another one
D. A star very rarely comes near to another one

Read the passage to answer question 9-10

There is no trick to motivating others. It requires a clear, unbiased understanding of the

situation at hand, deep insight into the vagaries of human nature at both the individual
and the group levels, the establishment of appropriate and reasonable expectations and
goals, and the construction of a balanced set of tangible and intangible incentives. It
requires, in other words, hard thinking and hard work. And when an organization is under
strain or is in crisis, the challenges-and the stakes-become that much higher. The
questions that managers have to grapple with as they try to inspire their people are
many and complex: How do you deal with individuals or groups at different motivation
levels that vary in different ways? How can you influence the behavior of a single
individual, let alone an organization of hundreds or thousands? How can you help
people feel enthusiastic and committed, especially in difficult times?

9. According to the passage

A. motivating others is not difficult

B. motivating others is impossible
C. motivating others is not impossible, but difficult
D. motivating others is possible and not difficult

10. Which of the following is not a true statement?

A. In order to motivate others, managers have to deal with difficult questions.

B. Managers can easily influence the behavior of hundreds and thousands of people.
C. Managers should know how to deal with people at different motivational levels.
D. It is not easy to help people feel enthusiastic in difficult times.
