A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just percent of CEOs positions at Samp。P 500 panies, according to Catalyst. While it39。s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School. In their research，Professor yvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (調(diào)查)2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadershipcentric categories. While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a manding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goalsetting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to municate clearly. There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face jobrelated pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of highpressure or highly emotional situations. Obviously，it39。s important to consider individual(個人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a petent boss. But next time you39。re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes(簡歷) from female candidates a harder look.（1）What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?

I39。m writing to express my idea about your goods. Your Supermart is outstanding in many ways. First I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items. Second your low prices and excellent customer service keep me ing back to Supermart. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your petitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This bees inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I don39。t like to make two trips. I have been a long time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years. If I could find all the items I need in one place, I would be a more satisfied customer. Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a mon ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry
