I tried to ignore it, but as any writer will tell you once the ideas awaken inside of you they wont leave you alone until you write them down. I didnt have a computer, a word processor, or even a typewriter. St
19、ill, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.When I was done I didnt know how to share it. There was no internet back then, no smart phones, and no social media. I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had
20、 written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging o
21、f my readers I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form.Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self.

26、reat first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish( 缩 减 )over time,” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of Management.“Extroverts disappoint us over time when they are part of a team,” Bendersky says. “On
27、a team youre expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they are often 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%,” Be
28、ndersky says.So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because 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
29、 agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone elses shoes.“These team members are often easy-going, which can make them good advisers to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards(参谋)when you interact w

34、void conflict among employees.DWild animals are known to listen to each other for warnings that predators are near. Some birds, for example, flee when neighbors make a loud noise to announce a snakes presence.The fairy wren is a small Australian songbird. It is not born knowing the “languages” of ot
35、her birds. But recent research says it can learn the meaning of a few important sounds.Andrew Radford is a biologist at the University of Bristol in England and co-writer of the new report published in early August in the journal Current Biology. He told the Associated Press, “We knew before that so
36、me animals can translate the meanings of other species foreign languages, but we did not know how that language learning came about.”Birds have several ways of learning life skills. Some knowledge is genetically passed down by their parents and some comes from direct experience with the world. But R
37、adford and other scientists are exploring a third kind of knowledge: information from fellows.Radford and researchers at the Australian National University carried out the study in the countrys National Botanic Gardens in Canberra.

The scientists then tried to train half of the birds to recognize the thornbills cry as a warning sound. They tried to train the other half to
40、 recognize the computer-generated “buzz” as a warning call.After three days, the scientists tested what the birds had learned-and their students passed the test.

46、ape and dried. 38 Class sizes began to increase at that time. Therefore, teachers needed a convenient way of conveying information to many students at one time. Not only did instructors use large blackboards, but students also worked with personal chalkboards, complete with chalk sticks and a sponge
47、 or cloth to use as an eraser. These small chalkboards were used for practice, especially among the younger students.An important change in the nature of classroom chalk brought a change in chalkboards.
