17、ypothesized that a rocket launched from Earth could reach the moon.Like many visionaries,the young scientist encountered numerous skeptics.(12)In January 1920,the New YorkTimes ridiculed Goddards theory that rockets could be utilized for space exploration.49 years later,Apollo 11 reached the moon,an
18、d the famed newspaper published an apology to Goddard.(13)Goddard launched his first rocket from an aunts farm in his native Massachusetts in March 1926.His maiden rocket voyage lasted a mere three seconds.It scaled an altitude of 12 meters.it was a milestone in rocket science.(14)Goddard later cons
19、ulted with a weather expert and determined that the climate of New Mexico was ideal for year-round rocket launches.In 1930,Goddard and his family relocated there to a remote valley in the southwest of the There he established a laboratory and test range.However,the ambitious scientist received negli
20、gible support from the government.For four years,wealthy businessman Daniel Guggenheim provided Goddard with an annual$25,OOO grant to pursue his dreams.Other rocket enthusiasts also raised funds for him.Over time,Goddards rockets grew more sophisticated and included the installation of instruments.
21、In spite of his many successes,Goddard was never able to interest the US military in rocket-propelled weapons.(15)He was over 200 and continued to rocket until his death in 1945.*1 12.What do we learn about Goddards idea of usingrockets for space exploration?B)ffitJrl 11/iL 1iJ(12)i:j:tiJJ,1920&p 1

25、benefit is usually the passion and excitement associated.with playing a role in a promising new company.The person to thank for that passion and excitement is almost always the entrepreneur.Theres something about the founders energy and enthusiasm that infects the rest of the team.The willingness to
26、 take risks may inspire others to be more courageous.The optimism and positivity*2021 6 JI 35may motivate people to focus less on trivial and unimportant matters.The celebration of milestones may prompt staff to be more grateful about their own accomplishments and privileges.(17)What becomes set in
27、the firms culture is a contagious collection of affirmative and positive emotionswhich are usually shared among the team.Science has already done a good job of proving the results that follow.These include better processes,greater team cohesion,reduced conflict and sharper alertness.But what is yet
28、to be demonstrated is whether the founders passion leads to increased team performance.This was recently tested in research,which analyzed the teams of 73 new companies across a range of industries such as IT,medicine and energy.The CEOs were consulted once again,years after the initial analysis,and
29、 most shared their firms performance reports,so that their success could be more objectively measured Entrepreneurial teams generally progress through three phases.The first is inventing a product or service,the second is founding the venture to sell that product or service,and the third is developi
30、ng the firm so it continues to grow.The researchers discovered that when the team is passionate about the third phasedeveloping a firm-theres a clear link to performance.But the first phase-a passion for invention-is not a reliable indicator that the firm will still be open for business a few years
31、later.Likewise,the second-a passion for founding the venture-doesnt necessarily translate into great success.The solution to great team performance stems from a willingness to recruit others who could direct their passion towards the third phase of entrepreneurialism:developing the business.Employin

35、ndreds of billions of dollars.Despite the huge investment into research,ageing remains somewhat obscure,although there are certain things researchers do understand.They know that women tend to have longer life spans,living on average six years longer than men.(19)No one is really certain of the reas
36、on for this,although the centers around the idea that women are more of men.For virtually every disease,the effects are greater on men than they are on women.Some suggest that womens immune systems benefit from their tendency to prioritize and nurture social connections.But for me,this explanation i
37、s hardly convincing.Researchers also know to an extent what causes ageing.For 60 years,it was believed that cells would continue to divide forever.It was only uncovered in relatively recent times that older peoples cells divide a smaller number of times than younger peoples.Only cancer cells,in fact
38、,are capable of dividing forever.(20)Human cells have a limited reproductive ability.To an extent,we can postpone the eventual stop of cellsdividing through nutrition,exercise,good sleep and even relaxation techniques,but we cannot stop the ageingprocess.And researchers are yet to answer the ultimat
39、e question of ageing:why does the body ultimately fall topieces?In the opinion of some of the worlds best scientific minds on the subject,part of the reason we dontyet have any answer is because many researchers are looking in the wrong direction.(21)Many public health/2021 6 J.j 36 policymakers bel
40、ieve that the resolution of age-associated disease will tell us something fundamental about the ageing process,but,say some top scientists,thats completely erroneous.The point to win the diseases of childhood were eliminated,but this did not provide any insight into childhood development.In the same
41、 way,the idea that the resolution of age-associated diseases like heart disease and stroke will inform us about ageing is not based on sound science or logic.At best,if the major causes of death in developed countries were eliminated,this would only add a decade to ave.rage life expectancy.But while

44、ou have just heard.Good afternoon.In todays talk,well discuss how managers can get their staff to do what they are asked.(22)Much to their frustration,managers of ten struggle to get their staff to comply with even simpleinstructions.Often,they blame their employees:They dont read emails,they dont l
45、isten,they dont carethat kind of thing.But according to recent research conducted in Australia,it looks like its not the employeesfault,but the managers.(23)Its easy to understand why people sometimes disobey procedures intentionally.Occasionally,its because theyre pressured to finish in a short tim
46、e.At other times,they may disagree with thespirit of the procedure-the effort demanded,the time consumed,the lack of potential effectiveness.Andevery now and then,they just dont want to,maybe deliberately or out of stubbornness.So apart from that,what else gets in the way of procedural compliance?Th
47、e research scholars surveyed 152 blue-collar workers from two separate sites in the mining industry.They asked the workers a range of procedure-related questions,such as whether they found the procedures useful,how confident they felt in their job,how comfortable they were to speak up in the workpla
48、ce,and how closely they followed any new procedures set by their managers.They were also asked to rate the extent to which they perceived their supervisors to be helpful.(24)That last statement was the.most instructive because,as the researchers found,there was a remarkably strong correlation betwee
49、n how helpful supervisors were perceived to be and how likely their employees were to follow their directors;Supervisors helping behavior was found to be motivational in nature.It increased employees perception of the likelihood of success in the attainment of job goals,and therefore fostered a will
50、ingness to dedicate their effort and ability to their work.In.short,managers should be ongoing role models for the change.As the saying goes:Do as I do,not as I say.To affect behavioral change,whats most required is interaction and involvement-the human touch-and,naturally,processes that add value.A
