CWhen the Svalbard Global Seed Vault opened in 2008, it became an icon of the vital mission of gene banks to preserve crop diversity.

29、s for the theory that if a person practices for at least 10, 000 hours, they will reach “perfection”or, in other words, become an expert in their field, Anders Ericsson stated that 10, 000 hours was an average figure: Some people needed far fewer than 10, 000 hours, and others many more. More import

30、antly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice was also essential. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practices a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole. Delibera

31、te practice is said to be much more effective, although more tiring. Despite the theories mentioned above, many other studies argue that practice alone is far from enough. In fact, a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert l

32、evel. So what are the other factors that contribute to people becoming experts?Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert. Another natural factor is physical superiority, which is especially evident in sports. For instance, many baseball players in America have a

33、mazing vision that allows them to see the ball much sooner than others do. So no matter how much a “normal” person practices, it is very hard for them to be as good as someone who has natural talent or physical superiority and who also practices. Besides, many say IQ, personality, attitude, and star

34、ting age are decisive factors, too. It is also important to note that becoming an expert doesnt equal instant success.

How to become an expert?B. Does perfection really exist?C. Does Practice Really Make Perfect?D. How to carry out e
