Which fruit personality are you?
In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren't like
us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences.
When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is

just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top
two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best
to deal with them.

I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a price y piece of
equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and
I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched
myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design
and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man- like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from
my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry
Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference
books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn't
appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind
couldn't handle processing fact- filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to
enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the
entire year. The result was an almost instant app recitation of fiction, along with many unexpected results
including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional
stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles
people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and
understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I've started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the
scientific com- munity and could serve it, heart and soul.

Why do we find ugly animals so appealing? And what makes odd- looking creatures so cute?
Evolution plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz, human attraction to childish features,
such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for
their offspring, guaranteeing the survival of their species. Odd- looking animals such as blobfish, pugs, aye- ayes
and bulldogs all share these infantile qualities that trigger an affectionate response among humans and an natural
instinct (本能) to nurture and protect. And these infantile characteristics increase a person's protective behavior,
attention and willingness to care for the individual and reduce the likelihood of aggression towards an infant, says
Marta Borgi, a researcher.
Ugly animals often have other value--- some, like the blobfish or the naked mole rat, live in extreme
environments that they have adapted to in remarkable ways. Scientists are keen to study these animals to
understand whether their biology might provide fresh insights that could lead to treatments for human health
conditions such as cancer, heart disease and other deadly diseases.
There are other culture- led factors that also drive our obsession (痴迷) with ugly- cute animals.“ The ugly-
cute thing is very fashionable,” says Rowena Packer, a lecturer of ani- mal behavior. This is partly driven by social
media, with many celebrities and influencers showing off pet pugs and French bulldogs on Instagram, she says.
But there are some serious welfare concerns around this trend. Vets are urging people not to choose a flat-
faced dog breed(品种), because they suffer from serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs which have
been selectively bred experience breathing difficulties, repeated skin infections and eye diseases. So while
ridiculous features such as bulging ( 隆 起 的 ) eyes and wrinkly faces may make us smile, we might want to
reconsider our obsession with“ ugly- cute” pets.

8. Why do people like ugly animals according to Konrad Lorenz?
A. People appreciate their efforts to survive.
B. People are attracted by their baby- like looks.
C. People appreciate their super adaptability.
D. People are fond of their fast response speed.

9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What media are changing people.
B. Whether social media is worth believing.
C. How public practices influence people.
D. Why celebrities show off their pet animals.

0. What's the author's attitude towards people's love for ugly animals?
A. Cautious.
B. Supportive.
D. Opposed.
C. Indifferent.

1. How does the author mainly answer the questions raised in paragraph l?
A. By referring to authoritative evolutionary theory.
B. By showing some examples of keeping pets.
C. By observing people's behavior towards animals.
D. By quoting different researchers' findings.
D

When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However, substantial
evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we' re better off shifting to a process called“ brainwriting”. You
start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and
share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own,
only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By
developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can sur- face and
advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.
An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped under- ground in Chile. Given
the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn’t hold brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global
brainwriting system to generate individual ideas. A 24- year- old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone.
This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to
save them.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this
method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming
meetings, it's too easy for participation to become one- sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting
process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn't to
be the smartest per- son in the room. It's to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn't end there. Individuals produce a
greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more
brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in
the noise
and bring out the best ideas.

2. What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming?
A. It highlights independent work.
C. It prioritizes quality over quantity.
B. It encourages group cooperation.
D. It prefers writing to oral exchanges.

A. To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.
B. To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.
C. To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.
D. To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.

4. How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4?
A. By blocking the loudest voices.
C. By allowing equal involvement.
B. By improving individual wisdom.
D. By generating more creative ideas.

5. Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A. Individual writing.
C. Personal evaluation.
B Joint discussion.
D. Group sharing.

Tired of traditional chlorinated(含氯的) pools? Consider a salt water pool, a popular trend in recent years.
A salt water pool is a type of swimming pool that uses a salt chlorine generator to pro- duce its own supply of
chlorine. This means instead of manually adding harsh(刺激性的) chemicals to a pool, the generator changes salt

into chlorine and releases it into the water as needed. 36 They still contain levels of chlorine and other minerals,
but the amount is signific
