Born in Japan to British parents on Oct.21, 1917, Fontaine and her older sister moved to the US as children. She won an Oscar as a vulnerable wife in the movie Suspicion in 1942. Hitchcock also cast Fontaine in the lead role in his first Hollywood work, Rebecca. Her other films included The Constant Nymph, Jane Eyre and Letter from an Unknown Woman. Fontaine won her Oscar over her sister, who was in the running for her role in Hold Back the Dawn.

Fontaine starred opposite Laurence Olivier in 1940’s Rebecca. De Havilland is still alive at the age of 97 and lives in Paris. Fontaine gained another two Academy Award nominations (提名), including her lead role in Rebecca in which she played opposite Laurence Olivier. The actress later said it was a “bittersweet moment” beating De Havilland to the best actress prize. “I was surprised that I won over my sister,” she added. But De Havilland played a significant role in Gone with the Wind. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter in 1978, Fontaine said, “I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she’ll undoubtedly be living because I beat her to it.”

In her autobiography（自传）, the actress s said, “I adore, respect and like my sister. But we don’t seek out each other’s company. We’re such complete opposites.” Sisters Fontaine and De Havilland were Hollywood opposites. The pair have both won Academy Awards for acting. Fontaine—born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland in Tokyo—had four marriages which ended in divorce. She held double British-US citizenship but she lived in the US for long. She starred opposite many of the Hollywood greats, including as Joan Crawford’ s opposite in her first major role in 1935’s No More Ladies. Fontaine also lined up with Katharine Hepburn, Fred Astaire and Cary Grant—her co-star in Suspicion. The star was determined to play more willful roles later in her career, gaining recognition for Tender is the Night in 1962.

Her final major screen appearance came four years later in The witches, while her final screen credit was for the TV movie Good King Wenceslas in 1994 and died on Dec. 15, 2013.

When it comes to human resources, hiring highly-skilled staff is not usually enough for a company to function successfully. Besides the knowledge in their particular fields, employees must always have additional skills?those of co-operation. In the case that work tasks can only be carried out by communicating with people, accepting common decisions, solving problems, sharing information and helping one another, teamwork skills are important.

While some jobs may require talent, the ability to work as a team is learned. There are no complicated formulas(规则); you don’t need to have any special qualities or exceptional mental abilities. Individuals can be effective as a team if they have developed certain behaviors or habits of communication. Many companies, clubs and organizations use team building activities. Team building activities may include a number of teamwork elements. They are aimed at encouraging active participation in task accomplishment while all members have their roles as individuals and are able to co-operate towards a common goal as a team.

Many team building activities focus on problem solving and discussing team issues; thus argument as a way to common consensus (共识) is encouraged. Team building activities often involve recognition and identification of team member skills, talents, knowledge, and experiences which allow the team members to learn more about each other and fully make use of those skills where appropriate. Many team activities are focused on developing keys to trust during challenging times.

Talking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale. But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surprising number of ways. To understand them, scientists say, we just have to learn their language. Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.

“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体). They can communicate with giant bacteria, with other plants and with insects. They do this chemically,” said Cahill, an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada. Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”. Cahill says studies have shown, for example, that plants can evaluate conditions in their immediate environment and take appropriate actions. Plants have an ability, for example, to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack. Jack Schultz, a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri, says when a plant senses that it’s being eaten, it cannot walk away from trouble; on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor that?alerts?other plants nearby. “Their language is a chemical language, and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable, and most of all are smells that we are familiar with,” Schultz explained. “All plants responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves,” Schultz recalled. “But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves, even though they were not part of the experiment.”? Studies have also shown that plants under attack release pleasant chemicals. Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.

In the end, plants’ ability to communicate their needs?and our ability to understand them?could help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals, cut operating costs and limit damage to the environment.
