She was drawn to a volunteer opportunity to review applications on behalf of the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI), which aims to help Latin American and Caribbea

11、n business to bring positive changes to their societies and contribute more fully to economic development, prosperity and security in those places.After connecting with the opportunity and successfully completing the application process, Kajal got to work. Her role involved reviewing 44 in-depth app

12、lications from potential candidates across Latin America and the Caribbean for a four-week fellowship in the U.S. She was responsible for describing the business ideas presented by these candidates, assessing the social impact of their businesses, and determining the strength of candidates to carry

13、out their plans. With almost 4,000 applicants in 2017, volunteers like Kajal were important members of the YLAI team.Kajal says that this volunteer opportunity super-charged her existing skills, while helping her build new ones such as time management, business analysis, decision-making, planning, a

19、and conscious editing to bring about maximum effect just arent there most people dont have to speak often enough to get it. Conversely, the speakers who deliver their talk most tend to be the best and most polished. They know where the laugh lines are, they know what phrasing works best, and they kn

20、ow their timing. Just like standup comedians.Standup comedy, at its basic principles, is a combination of material (what you say) and delivery (how you say it). It is no different than typical speeches or presentations. TV slots (节目时间) for new comedians tend to be under five minutes, which forces th

21、em to continuously refine and refine again in order to achieve maximum effect from each word. Conference organizers still tend to book speakers in 40-60 minute time slots but who, these days, has an hour to focus on one person? Some of the best speeches in history have clocked in at less than 20 min

22、utes. Abraham Lincolns Gettysburg Address was 272 words and lasted two minutes. Winston Churchills “Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat” speech was 688 words. The most powerful emotional expression two humans can say to each other isjust three words: “I,” “love,” and “care.”Most people switch off at around

23、 the ten-minute mark. As mentioned in Brain Rules, studies by noted educator Wilbert McKeachie demonstrate that “typically, attention increases from the beginning of the lecture to ten minutes into the lecture and decreases after that point.” This is why the organization for online talk TED has shor

24、tened its earlier 18-minute format. They figured out that brevity is levity. However, many conference and event producers havent got it right. Most speakers cant hold the attention of an audience for 40-60 minutes. Its something even the best standup comedians battle with. Yet business speakers seld

28、 comedians.DSocial distancing is not a new concept in the natural world, where infectious diseases are commonplace. Through specialized senses animals can detect certain diseases and change their behavior to avoid getting ill.In 1966, while studying chimps (猩猩) in a Tanzanian national park, zoologis

29、t Jane Goodall observed a chimp named McGregor who had caught a highly infectious virus. His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out of the troop. In one instance, McGregor approached chimps in a tree. He reached out a hand in greeting, but the others moved away without a backward glance.“For a

30、 full two minutes, old McGregor sat motionless, staring after them,” Goodall notes in her 1971 book In the Shadow of Man. “Its really not that different to how some societies react today to such a tragedy.”Not all animals are so aggressive toward their ailing neighbors. Sometimes its as simple as av

31、oiding those who may infect you.When Kiesecker, a lead scientist in America, studied American bullfrog in the late 1990s, he found that bullfrogs could not only detect a deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs, but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick. Bullfrogs rely on chemica

32、ls signals to determine who is sick or not.Caribbean lobsters also shun diseased members of their community, well before they become infectious. It takes about eight weeks for lobsters infected with the deadly virus Panulirus argus mininuceovirus to become dangerous to others. Normally social animal

33、s, lobsters begin keeping away from the diseased as early as four weeks after infection once the lobsters can smell certain chemicals released by sick individuals.Overall, its important to note that, unlike us, animals dont realize if they stay home, they might actually reduce the infection rate,” K

34、iesecker explains. “As humans, we have that ability. Its a big difference.”12. What can we learn about the chimps from Goodalls observation?A. They kept a distance from one another.B. They became aggressive when infected.C. The infected avoided contact with others.D. The infected were forced to leav

37、 They just become more the way they already are. While there are exceptions, most people find change difficult for several reasons. 16 Few people have an accurate view of who they are and therefore dont recognize the aspects of themselves that need improvement. Most people want to believe theyre wel

38、l-balanced and even outstanding in many ways. 17 Then there is the human tendency to explain ones difficulties, short-comings and failures by blaming somebody else. You may find many people around you blame their poor performance on others. 18 You will probably never hear anyone tell you, “I got fir

39、ed because I was doing a terrible job.” Few people are willing to accept that their own character traits (弱点) and choices are the main causes of the kind of life they lead.Finally, most people find it too challenging to change as it involves a lot of hard workand difficult choices. Even when you hav

40、e learned enough about your true nature, you then need to do something about it. 19 Meanwhile, the reality can be really discouraging: you do much hard work but the results are never the sort of ideal change youre looking for.No matter how difficult it is, you still need to find your own way to chan

Throughout history, such a(n) 21 was used to complete a business deal, 22 friendship, or signal trust.But touching strangers can also lead to other,

44、 less beneficial shared 23 like disease outbreaks. As fears about COVID-19 increase, France has warned its citizens to 24 handshakes. However, with histories dating back thousands of years, the greeting is likely too 25 established to be so easily stopped.A popular theory about the handshakes 26 is

45、that it began as a gesture of 27 . Grasping hands proved you were not holding a weapon and 28 them was a way to ensure your partner had nothing hiding up their sleeve.There may be a 29 explanation for its lasting power. In a 2015 study, researchers in Israel filmed handshakes between hundreds of str

46、angers and found nearly a quarter of participants 30 their hands unconsciously afterwards. 31 , they concluded that a handshake may be used to detect chemical signals, and possibly as a means of 32 just as other animals do by smelling each other.Behavioral scientist Val Curtis in London says that on

47、e possible 33 for the handshake as greeting is to imply that the other person is 34 enough to share germs (细菌) with.
