Which fruit personality are you?
	In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences. When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.

		4. Show your pace.
Banana: Sweet and Gentle	Banana types enjoy peace and shy away from conflicts. They are kind to react to others’ requests. However, when they are too accommodating, they can be seen as indecisive.	1. Don’t pressure them, motivate.

8 . Zhi Nong was born in a small town in Yunnan Province. When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. Feeling like a caged(笼中的) bird in big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature.

His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot a documentary about birds. That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds.

In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying how to use it. During that time, the library became his favorite place where he first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door for him to connect with nature.

In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys which only live in China. Usually the home of these monkeys has half-a-year-long winters. It created great challenges for Zhi Nong’s work, but he never drew back. “I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time,” said Zhi Nong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys.

Three years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the World Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

In order to call up tons of people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started “China Wildlife Photography Training Camp”. He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection.

9 . Scientists are not alone in the fight against the novel corona-virus (新型冠状病毒), as new technologies and innovative products are giving them a hand. Here are some examples.

Big data

Our smartphones send data to telecom companies around the clock, telling these companies where we have been and where we are going. Chinese telecom companies provide government with this data. They use the data to track (追踪) traffic flows among different provinces and cities. By tracking how many people are coming and going out of Wuhan, telecom companies can send warnings to areas that are being visited by large numbers of people from Wuhan.

Drones

Drones (无人机) have played a major role in disinfection (消毒) and preventing cross-infection (交叉感染) in crowded places like hospitals, railway stations and airports.

Police officers use drones to give warnings. For example, if people gather in large groups or do not wear masks, drones with cameras can record and send images of these people in real time to control rooms. The drones will then warn these people.

Robots

Robots are good helpers on the frontlines. They are used at hospitals to offer medical advice, deliver drugs or meals, act like guides, perform disinfection and do other repetitive work. In this way, robots can not only help greatly reduce the burden for medical workers, but also reduce the risk of cross-infection. They have also been used in public places like train stations and airports to check temperatures.

10 . Bats are the only flying mammal (哺乳动物) in the world. They can’t see very well. It is in many places that all bats are blind. “Blind as a bat” is often heard. Yet they have no trouble flying in the darkest nights and finding their way around very well. How can bats fly and see at night? They fly by radar.

The bat’s radar (雷达) system works the same way as the one that ships and planes use. As a bat flies through the air, he makes a sound that is too high for our ears to hear. If the sounds hit things, they come back. The bat’s ears receive the messages. In this way they are able to tell the bat where the things are.

Bats go out to look for food at night. In the daytime they hang in some dark places. Some people look the bats as bad animals. In fact, they are useful animals.
