There are nw tw held every year, with tpics as diverse as music, medicine, and mney. Other specialized spin- ff cnferences address narrwer issues.
The TED website came frm a desire t share the cnferences with the wrld, t “ffer free knwledge frm the wrld’s mst inspired thinkers,” as the website puts it. The current versin f the site was launched in April 2007, and cntains vides f talks given at the TED cnferences arund the wrld. The talks are transcribed int hundreds f languages.

Because f the COVID-19 pandemic, mre peple are increasingly familiar with "Zm
fatigue", the tiredness caused by veruse f videcnferencing tls such as Zm. Zm fatigue, hwever, can hit peple differently depending n their persnality.
The videcnferences seem smart and fun, but t many extrverts( 性格外向者), the experience has prved t be less satisfying. Zm des nt prvide the same heartfelt feedback as a live cnversatin, s it is nt rewarding as expected.

Fr intrverts, vide all cause their wn special challenges. Fr ne thing, in mst virtual meetings, with multiple participants bserving ne anther, intrverts feel like being cnstantly watched. That is quite tiring. They prefer t cntrl wh is in their persnal space and fr hw lng, r rather, t cnnect with peple ne-n-ne r in small grups.
What's mre, in-persn cnversatin ffers pauses that can give a speaker, especially an intrvert time t cnsider a new thught. Pauses while n-screen, hwever, can be cnfusing. Has a persn finished speaking? Or has the Internet cnnectin caused the screen t free? Pauses r silence between thughts r tpics feel mre unbearable and difficult t interpret due t the vide.
Each individual has t find the right balance t create mre satisfying Zm experiences. It is suggested that extrverts imprve their videcnferencing experiences by making their calls with larger screens, luder audi and shared activities. Fr intrverts, a gd first step is t avid ptinal vide calls. Setting bundaries befrehand can als help. This culd take the frm f telling thers at the beginning f a call when yu need t leave.
Wh may experience "Zm fatigue"?
A. Extrverts.B. Intrverts.
C. Bth extrverts and intrverts.D. Neither extrverts nr intrverts.
Why are extrverts unsatisfied with videcnferencing?
They get less reward than intrverts.
They fail t cntrl their bdy language.
They are asked t express their true feelings.
They are nt fee t express their pinins.
What d intrverts prefer?
A. Videcnferencing platfrms.B. Pauses in vide cnversatin.
C. One-n-ne cmmunicatin.D. Silent bservatin frm thers.
Which f the fllwing might be the slutin t "Zm fatigue"?

Recnnecting with a friend can bst happiness, but s can a meaningful encunter with a stranger. One f the mst cmplex things we can engage with is anther persn’s mind. 37 In fact, many studies have fund that the mre yu use scial media, the less happy yu are.

takes the fcus away frm ur wn wrries and prblems, which can bst happiness. And being generus wn’t increase levels f the stress hrmne crtisl(荷尔蒙皮质醇). Perhaps surprisingly, kindness imprves verall physical health.
Taking exercise causes hrmnal changes in the bdy that make yu feel gd and help interrupt negative thughts. Clinically depressed peple wh exercised regularly imprved just as much as thse wh tk antidepressants. 39 But anecdtally, mst peple wh exercise will tell yu they feel better.

77. In 1989, fresh ut f high schl, I had the difficult task f chsing a career path befre cllege started in three mnths. In thse days in Pakistan, there were limited chices: becming a dctr r an engineer, r entering the financial wrld after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested in engineering, s that I was left with medicine r business. I culdn’t decide.
My uncle suggested that I d a wrk placement (实习) t experience it fr a mnth in an
internatinal cmpany fllwed by a mnth in a hspital. After that, I culd make a decisin. It seemed like a gd idea.
I was accepted fr a mnth’s placement at a freign bank in Karachi. I gt a feel fr hw the wrld f finance functined, made new friends, and generally enjyed the mstly easy-ging wrk surrundings.
The mnth passed rapidly, and sn I began wrking at a leading hspital in Karachi. The experience culdn’t have been mre different. The hspital had a stressful envirnment. The days started early (at 7 am, cmpared t 9 am at the bank), and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, wrking all day, thrugh the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking abut my tw experiences. The bank had ffered a mre relaxing atmsphere, better wrking hurs and less stress. The hspital was full f excitement, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business chice was ging t win ut.
Near the end f my mnth at the hspital, I was driving hme after an especially busy night call. In frnt f me was a public bus, with cllege students sitting n the tp. As the driver weaved thrugh (穿梭) traffic, I culd see the bys shaking frm side t side.
