Everybody could make mistakes.Joe Heim: Youre considered the presidents closest adviser.What do you think the role of an adviser is ?Valerie Jarrett: I think so as that the presidents management style is very effective (有效的), all of his advisers should speak openly abouttheir advice.Joe Heim: What misunderstandings are there of you?Valerie Jarrett: A little-known fact is that I started my life very shy and remained very shy well into adulthood. Painfully shy, I would call it. And I often share this, particularly with young people, because its something I really had to work hard to overcome. And for all the shy people out there I say, you, too, can overcome it. But it took a lot of hard work on my part, and I discovered along the way that just because youre nervous and you have butterflies in your stomach doesnt mean that it has to show. My point in sharing it with you is that part of life is pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone (舒适区). And if youre going to grow, you have to learn how to take on new challenges that you might not be good at.Joe Heim: Will you stay until the end of his term?Valerie Jarrett: I serve at the pleasure of the president. If he wants me to stay, I will.21. From the underlined words “That hes human”, we can learn Valerie Jarrett is_.A. warm-hearted B. understanding C. greedy D. strong-minded22.
