21、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.

Flu experts are already admitting that most vaccines will give at best basic protection, because theyre
29、 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 types. Flu vaccines must be recreated every year because f
30、lu viruses develop constantly in a process called antigenic drift. In February, global flu 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 should be made to target.In recent years, flu vaccines have bee
31、n 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 the virus, and either weaken it or kill it to make a vaccine
32、.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 eggs we are going to have this problem,” said Scott Hensley, a f
33、lu 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 so far. Against this threat, even a less satisfying flu vacc
34、ine 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fails to improve because _.Ait has offered the best protection Bexperts cant forecast the flu typesCit is based on outdated techno

37、based vaccines are better than nothing.CThere is something wrong with flu vaccines.DFlu vaccines can stop the disease spreading.D“While extroverts (性格外向者) often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, that value and reputation at work diminish
38、(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 often poor listeners, and they dont collaborate.”“On the other hand,
39、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 because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses als
40、o 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 employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else
41、s 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. “Managers must try to help introverts find their voice,” Wilkins says. “Help them
42、 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 be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off ? Managers definite
43、ly 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 good at cooperating. C. They often make great contributions. D. They t
