  True leadership is not just the ability to identify the talent and skill of the polished individuals 
around you. It involves being able to dig beneath the surface and discover _36__ .
     Once there was a boy who constantly sat and talked in his math class, and seemed __ 37_   in 
group activities. Most teachers would _ 38_   think of him as a problem student.
     However, Anna was different. She believed the student was above _39__in other areas so she 
created a strategy to find out.
     Anna didn't _ 40 _ the parents. Instead she organized a handful of activities in the class to get 
more information. In place of calling out for volunteers in class she created a  41 _  for each
Friday: Girls vs. Boys.
     The first week the class was totally   _42___. Everyone wanted to win. Even the boy had his 
hand up the whole time trying to get a turn. __43__, Anna waited, and waited, and waited. Finally the   _44_   teacher paired the boy with the most __45   girl student in class.
 Now the two teams had a __46_ _score, all the students sat back eager to see the result. As the teacher placed the question on the board, most of the students began to _47   their heads: this was a question they had never __48_   in class.
"___49__" the teacher yelled. Both students started doing it   _50 __ thinking of how to solve the complex question. Their classmates, full of _51 _, exclaimed, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The boy 
finished it just seconds before the girl and spun around with his   _52_   raised, "I won!" Almost 
nobody could believe the student they admired failed until Anna __53   the result.
      This was what Anna tried to get --- it turned out that the student wasn't bad, he was __54___So we can see that__55__hidden abilities is not always easy but the end results can be magic

Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June ,along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, as good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.
However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who repot voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000(4.4 percent)above its year ago level.
Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare(奥巴马医疗), it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet
There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9percent)from is year ago level.
We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people is they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week. If the answer is “yes”, they are classified as worked less than 35hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice .They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.
The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people ,especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions ,before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.
However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.
58. Which part of the jobs picture was neglec
