He seldom played with his classmates; and when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word.One spring, the boys father asked f

20、or some saplings(树苗) from the neighbor. He told his children to plant a sapling each person. The father said, Whose seedling grows best, I will buy him or her a favorite gift. The boy also wanted to get his fathers gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees happily,

21、anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it.A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didnt wilt, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the tr

22、ees of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more vital.

23、e little boy lay on the bed but couldnt sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenlyrecalled what the biology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night.

They are

28、using sensors to collect data such as traffic, garbage collecting, and road conditions and then using that data to deliver services to more people and more efficiently.But this rush to become a smart city has a major drawback: The more connected a city is, the easier it is to cyber-attacks. Hackers

29、have, in recent years, effectively held cities hostage through ransom ware(赎金器), sometimes damaging critical systems for months at a time. The damage can cost millions to repair, as Baltimore and Atlanta have discovered.And this is just the beginning. As cities add connectivity to their streetlights

30、, power grids, dams, transit lines and other services, they are adding more targets that have the potential to be hacked. Whats more, as additional information on residents is collected, officials worry the result lots of data could attract nation-states or terrorists who could incorporate the data

36、t to find out who wed rather work with. Hardly surprisingly, the people we want most as our workmates are both: brilliant at their jobs and delightful human beings. And the people we want least are both unpleasant and useless. More interestingly, the authors found that, given the choice between work

37、ing with lovable fools and competent jerks (性情古怪的人), we irresistibly choose the former. Anyway, who likes those stupid men who annoy or hurt other people? We might insist that competence matters more, but our behavior shows we stay close to the people we like and sharing information with them. What

Then is there anything that companies should be doing about it?By far the most effective strategy would be to hire people who are all pretty much the same, given that similarity is one of the main determinants of whether we like each other. I thi

42、nk this is a pretty good idea, but no one dares recommend this anymore without offending the diversity lobby group. There is only one acceptable view on this subject: teams of similar people are bad because they stop creativity. This may be true, though I have never seen any conclusive proof of it.N

43、ot only do we like similar people, we like people who like us. So if companies want to promote more liking, they should encourage a culture where we are all nice to each other. The trouble is that this needs to be done with some skill.32. According to the research, which kind of colleagues would mos
