The African penguin lives on St.Croix island off the east coast of South Africa.A new study has found that they are leaving their natural environment to escape noisy ship refueling (補給燃料)activities.
   The African penguins once mainly raised babies on this island.But the population has dropped sharply since South Africa started permitting ships in the area to refuel at sea six years ago,the study found.
   Lorien Pichegru is acting director of the Coastal and Marine Research Institute at Nelson Mandela University,which led the study.She said the organization had found that noise levels in the area had doubled since the refueling activities began.Scientists say high noise levels affect the ability of penguins to find and catch other animals for food.Noise also makes it more difficult for them to communicate with each other and map travel paths. "This year we are at 1,200 breeding pairs at St Croix from 8,500 pairs in 2016, "Pichegru said.
  The study recently appeared in the publication Science of the Total Environment.The researchers said the study is the first to explore the effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on a seabird.
   Nelson Mandela University's study collected some data to estimate underwater noise from passing ships.Oil-covered penguins were found in 2019 in Algoa Bay after an oil spill from ship-to-ship refueling.Environmental groups have called for the activities to be banned in the bay.
   Pichegru said penguins in the area were already struggling to survive because of a series of issues,including industrial fishing activities.She added that the refueling activities did not kill all the penguins.However, "It was just the thing that made the whole ecology tip over and then the penguins couldn't cope with that, " she said.

  • 1.Earthquakes happen without warning(前兆).They can happen any time of a day,at any point during the year.But don't worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt.Only a few big ones hurt people.However,it's important to know what to do when an earthquake is happening.
       Do not go outside.You could get injured from falling glass or parts of buildings.If you are outside,stay away from buildings and power lines (輸電線).

  • 3.As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global,we've watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don't know where to focus their efforts or they haven't understood how to improve these skills on a practical level.In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders,we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths,it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve,and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
       The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you); (1)
    .For example,most of us think that we're good listeners,but very often that's really not the case.Without this external reality check,it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behaviour and motivation to do so.
       To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation,you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI; (2)
    .Secondly,when you get your feedback from an assessment,let that inform what you want to improve.But also consider what your goals are.When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, (3)
    .Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically motivated to make the effort matters more when changing long-standing habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
       That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the crossroads of the feedback you've gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations; (4)
    as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.
       Once you've determined which EI skills you want to focus on,identify specific actions that you'll take.If you're working on becoming a better listener,for example,you might decide that when you're conversing with someone you'll take the time to pause,listen to what they have to say,and check that you understand before you reply.Keep it specific;(5)
    .
       By starting to change your routine reactions,you'll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren't serving you well and transforming them into new,improved ones that do.

    A.you're at a huge disadvantage if you're only interested because others said you should be
    B.bearing your goals in mind is so helpful to improve the positive impact of your current EI habits
    C.you should also lake every opportunity to practice the skill you are developing,no matter how small
    D.understanding the impacts of your EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long run
    AB.the key is to find one that guarantees no personal information of those giving you feedback will be leaked
    AC.how others see you will to some extent decide how you see others and help you become a good listener
    AD.this is true because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions
