Nobody before has attempted to cross the pole in winter. In a statement
18、, Fiennes said, “This will be my greatest challenge to date. We will stretch the limits of human endurance.”However, Fiennes could not explain why anyone should consider such a venture, still less a man aged 68 who has survived cancer, heart surgery and the loss of most of the frozen fingertips on o
19、ne hand. “Its what I do,” he said, looking slightly puzzled at the question.Fiennes, the worlds greatest living explorer, according to the Guinness Book of Records was the first to cross the Antarctic continent unsupported; the first to cross both polar ice caps; and the first to travel across the g
20、lobe from pole to pole.Fiennes admitted his wife, Louise, and their six-year-old daughter were not thrilled. “But Ive never done anything else; its how I earn my living. And youre much more likely, statistically, to die on the roads than on the polar ice,” he said.After training in the Swedish Arcti
21、c in a relatively balmy -40, Fiennes team will set sail from London on Dec. 6 on a South African research ship. The ice trek will begin on Mar. 21, the spring equinox (春分) that marks the official start of the polar winter, from the Russian base of Novolazareskaya. Fiennes and his five team members m

26、st tripC In todays world, most workers are highly specialized, but this specialization can come at a costespecially for those on the wrong team. New research by Harvards Growth Lab uncovers the importance of teams and coworkers when it comes to ones productivity, earning potential, and stays of empl
27、oyment. The research analyzed administrative data on the 9 million inhabitants of Sweden. It found that to earn high wages and returns on education, workers must find coworkers who complement, but not substitute them.The research offers a tool to assess the right and wrong coworkers in fields of exp
28、ertise. The right coworkers are those with sills you lack, yet needed to complete a team. The wrong coworkers are those who have the same skill set as you and eventually lower your value to the employer. For example, those with a degree in architecture are best assisted by workers with engineering,
29、construction, or surveying degrees, and negatively impacted by those with landscape or interior design degrees.“We tend to think of sills as something personal that individuals can market to a company, ” said Frank Neffke, Growth Lab Research Director “However, this vision of sills is too simplistic
30、. One persons sills connect to another persons sills, etc. ,and the better these connections are, the more productive workers will be, and the more they will earn” Neffke adds that the benefits of working with complementary coworkers are not the same for all workers. Those with higher levels of educ
31、ation seem to benefit much more from working in complementary teams than workers with lower levels. Over the past 20 years, workers with college degrees or higher have been increasingly able to find better matching coworkers.Complementary also drives careers. The research shows that people tend to s
32、tay longer in organizations with many complementary workers and tend to leave those with many workers who substitute them. These results hold true for up to 20 years of ones career.The research also supports several well-known facts, such as cities and large firms pay higher wages. Workers are more
33、likely to find better fitting teams in cities, and large firms often allow workers to specialize.28.Which group of workers can make up the best team?A.Those who can substitute each other.B.Those who come from the same place.C.Those who are expert in the same field.D.Those who have the complementary

36、 made his leg lame and his teeth uneven. 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 for some saplings (树苗) from the neighbor. He told his children to plant a sapling each person
37、. 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, anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it

One day, the little boy lay on the bed but couldnt sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside th
40、e window, he suddenlyrecalled what the biology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night. Why not go to see the tree? When he came to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with a ladle (勺子). He returned to his room, tears running down his face.De
