At 4 am and at several intervals after that, I was rudely awoken by the cock that lives opposite me. Fantastic! I now have 5 extra alarms every morning.In the followi
21、ng weeks, I also started to notice a trend. Things in my flat started to break at the rate of one object per day, like the hot water, bowls, cups, shower, doors or glass shelves. Yes, I am clumsy but things just fell apart. If it wasnt broken, it would either be dirty or missing. Using my washing ba
22、sket for the first time was pretty disgusting.

CWork started this week on next seasons flu vaccine, with experts working off forecasts about which types of the flu virus will be making the rounds. But dont expect any improvements. Flu experts are already admitting that most vac
29、cines will give at best basic protection, because theyre based on old-fashioned technology. Its not a new problem, but one that the slow-moving world of drug and vaccine production seems helpless to improve upon.Every flu vaccine is a cocktail, aimed at either three or four of the most common flu ty
30、pes. Flu vaccines must be recreated every year because flu viruses develop constantly in a process called antigenic drift. In February, global flu - 7 -experts gather to trade notes on what viruses are circulating in different countries and to come to an agreement on which types the next vaccines sh
31、ould be made to target.In recent years, flu vaccines have been based on H1N1, H3N2 and either one or two types of influenza B virus. Each of these has a “reference” type, which is used to make seed virus. Producers add the seed types to eggs and incubate (孵) them as the virus grows. Then they purify
32、 the virus, and either weaken it or kill it to make a vaccine.Using eggs is a tricky (=difficult) and unpredictable process. Sometimes the virus doesnt grow well in eggs, which can mean less vaccine than expected. The result is a flu vaccine that doesnt offer much protection. “As long as we have egg
33、s we are going to have this problem,” said Scott Hensley, a flu virus expert, “The only solution is not to depend on eggs.”Flu is a major killer. The 2017-2018 season has been a severe one, hitting the entire U. S. with widespread influenza infection at once for weeks on end, and killing 97 children
34、 so far. Against this threat, even a less satisfying flu vaccine will definitely help. “Even when you have these mismatches it will not prevent infection but likely prevent disease severity.” said Hensley.29Next season flu vaccine fails to improve because _.Ait has offered the best protection Bexper

38、alities in interviews, that value and reputation at work diminish (削减) over time.” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of management.“Extroverts disappoint us over time when theyre part of a team,” Bendersky says. “On a team youre expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But theyre oft
39、en poor listeners, and they dont collaborate.”“On the other hand, introverts (性格内向者) work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They dont want to be seen as not pulling their weight or contributing 100%,” Bendersky says.So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts b
40、ecause they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player, Bendersky says.Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted
41、employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone elses shoes.“These team members are often easygoing, which can make them exceptional mentors (良师益友 ) to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in one-on-one situations,” Su says. - 9 -“Managers
42、must try to help introverts find their voice,” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about self-promotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.”What about those extroverts who never seem to b
43、e at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off ? Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying something in private to make adjustments.32. What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky?A. They are good listeners. B. They are
44、 good at cooperating. C. They often make great contributions. D. They tend to perform well in interviews. 33. Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in Paragraph 3?A.
