It was a day I'd been waiting for.I had en a few lift-offs（升空）on vision before,but this
one was special.It was Apollo 11.The astronauts were headed for the Moon,just to orbit,as Apollo 8 and Apollo 10 had done a few months earlier.This time,people would actually walk on it!
I had a hard time getting through the next three days until Apollo 11 reached the Moon.I was glued to the television.Finally,Sunday morning arrived.After eating dinner,my family gathered in the living room.Our new television offered the best picture of the upcoming events.Luckily,I had read many books on space flight.I was familiar with the technical phras,being discusd between Mission Control Center and the astronauts.
Then,we heard the countdown to the undocking（出舱）of the Eagle,the Lunar Module 死当长相思（LM），from the Columbia,the Command and Service Module.None of us paid much attention to the background chatter.If we had,we would have realized that the descent（降落）was not going well.A loud master alarm kept sounding inside the LM.If it continued,the astronauts would have to stop the descent.But in our excitement,we didn't realize what was happening.Then we saw that the astronauts had reached the Moon.We all gave a loud cheer when Armstrong said his famous words as the LM touched down：
"Houston,Tranquility Ba here.The Eagle has landed."
Even though I was only eight years old,I nd the importance of that moment.Looking back at it,I feel a little sad that there has been nothing quite like that since.But we have our sight t on Mars now.To get to Mars,we will need to visit the Moon again.That excites me.I'd love to e another moonwalk.I hope that kids will watch,as I did,the images（影像）of humans on another planet.Perhaps the next moonwalkers will change the lives of tho viewers,as Armstrong and Aldrin changed my life 50 years ago.

Cooperation at work is generally en as a good thing.The latest survey by the Financial Times of what employers want from MBA graduates found that the ability to work with a wide variety of people was what managers wanted most.But managers always have to balance the benefits of teamwork,which help ensure that everyone is working towards the same goal,with the dangers of "groupthink" when critics are reluctant to point out a plan's
drawbacks for fear of being kept out of the group.The disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 was a classic ca of groupthink.Skeptics were reluctant to challenge John F.Kennedy,the newly elected American president.
Modern communication methods mean that cooperation is more frequent.Workers are constantly in touch with each other via e-mail messaging groups or mobile calls.But does that improve,or lower performance？A new study by three American academics,tried to answer this question.They t a logical problem （designing the shortest route for a travelling salesman visiting various cities）.Three groups were involved参观科技馆：one where subjects acted independently；another where they saw the solutions posted by team members at every stage；and a third where they were kept informed of each other's views only intermittently.
The survey found that members of the individualist group reached the premier（最先的）solution more often than the constant cooperators but had a poorer average result. The intermittent cooperators found the right result as often as the individualists,and got a better average solution.When it comes to ideal generation,giving people a bit of space to
a solution ems to be a good idea.Occasional cooperation can be a big help：most people have benefited from a colleague's brainwave or （just as often） wi advice to avoid a particular cour of action.
Further clues come from a book,Superminds,by Thomas Malone of the Massachutts Institute of Technology.He says that three factors determine the collective intelligence of cooperating groups：social intelligence （how good people were at rating the emotional states of others）；the extent to which members took part equally in conversation （the more equal,the better）；and the cooperation of women in the group（the higher,the better）.Groups ranked highly in the areas cooperated far better than others.
In short,cooperation may be a uful tool but it doesn't work in every situation.
