IV. Design a worksheet for the following passage. Before your design, please specify your teaching foci and expected learning outcomes in 100 words.            There's a myth that to be a good leader, you need to be the smartest person in the room. As a result, many leaders struggle to admit that they don't have all the answers. They're reluctant to ask for help and end up struggling in silence. This reluctance is normal—it's a fear-based response to not wanting to look incompetent to your team or superiors. But there is a way you can ask for help that strengthens your position as a leader, rather than undermines it.           Reluctance to ask for help isn't just pride: it's often about perception. And this concern isn't entirely unfounded. One study found that male leaders risked being perceived as less competent when they asked for a lot of help. In contrast, their female counterparts in the same study didn't experience a significant drop in perceived competence when seeking help.           However, researchers cautioned that it isn't actually whether or not you ask for help, but how you ask. The same study noted that asking for help is critical for leaders to learn and improve. And the benefits of asking for help far outweigh the perceived risks. Harvard Business School researchers Alison Wood Brooks and Francesca Gino found that our mindset around seeking guidance is misguided. We might think that others will see us as less capable, but the opposite is true. In their study, Brooks and Gino found that when we ask others for advice, they view us as more competent. It signals that we value their expertise and don't overestimate ourselves, which is a sign of self-awareness. Moving beyond perceptions, asking for help is also likely to yield better performance results. By utilizing the knowledge, expertise, and insight of your team, you expand your collective problem-solving capacity. Leveraging people's strengths to solve complex problems is the hallmark of a competent leader.           There's a term for what effective leaders do when they admit they don't know everything: strategic vulnerability. Rather than appearing inept or oversharing indiscriminately, asking questions positions you to lead through vulnerability. That's because you demonstrate that it has a purpose, which is to empower others, utilize their expertise, build trust, and spark collective solutions.           Harvard Professor Amy Edmondson, a leading expert on psychological safety, says the simple admission of "I might miss something here, I need to hear from you" lays a foundation of a psychologically safe environment. By modeling fallibility—not ineptitude, you create an environment where people feel safe to speak up, ask questions, and share their opinions and ideas. These are all the fundamental elements of a high-performing team.           As Edmondson highlights in her research, an environment with high levels of psychological safety is one with fewer mistakes, less duplication, and less fear and anxiety. When you ask questions as a leader, you appear accessible and approachable. This creates the space for others to do the same, fast-tracking the discovery and recovery from mistakes or potentially more fatal decisions.           As a leader, you set the tone: what you do becomes the behaviors that you accept, which your team then reinforces. Asking questions models curiosity and humility. When people feel like you value their input, they can see how their contributions matter to the bigger picture. This builds trust, loyalty, and a sense of meaningfulness into the everyday functions of work. Strategic vulnerability—when you do it right—flips the script from looking incompetent to empowering your team. It also beats pretending you have all the answers.

Provide the correct answer for each question. (25%)          The increasingly early blooming of cherry blossoms has become a striking and observable sign of climate change. Drawing on a remarkable 1,200-year record from Kyoto, scientists have found that the timing of cherry blossom blooms has shifted significantly—now occurring nearly two weeks earlier than in the mid-19th century. This extensive historical dataset provides strong evidence that today's climate conditions are unlike anything previously experienced, surpassing earlier fluctuations such as the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age.          This shift is largely driven by global warming, which is primarily caused by human activities such as the combustion of fossil fuels. Rising temperatures have accelerated the arrival of spring, leading to earlier flowering not only in Kyoto but also in other regions, including Washington, D.C. Although scientists in the United States have identified a consistent trend toward earlier blooming, they have not yet conclusively attributed it to human-induced climate change, partly because other factors, such as the urban heat island effect, may also play a role. In contrast, Kyoto's long-term records enable researchers to directly connect earlier bloom dates to anthropogenic climate change.          Recent data further corroborates this pattern. Kyoto experienced record-breaking early blooms in 2020, 2021, and 2023, and research indicates that climate change has already advanced peak bloom timing by approximately 11 days. Under moderate emissions scenarios, projections suggest that blossoms could appear nearly another week earlier by the end of the century.          These changes are not merely visual; they carry serious ecological implications. Earlier blooming may disrupt the synchronization between flowers and their pollinators, while also increasing the risk of damage from unexpected late frosts. The consequences extend beyond ornamental trees. Fruit-bearing species such as apples and peaches face similar challenges, particularly if warmer winters fail to provide the cold conditions necessary for proper dormancy. Without sufficient chilling periods, some trees may not flower at all, posing risks to agricultural production.         At the same time, cherry blossoms continue to hold both scientific and cultural importance. They serve as valuable indicators for tracking environmental change while also symbolizing renewal and seasonal transition. However, their increasingly early appearance underscores the urgency of reducing carbon emissions to mitigate the most severe consequences of climate change.
