9、運(yùn)會(huì)(olympics)。但有時(shí)(sometimes)要保持這些關(guān)于我們自己的美好想法要困難的多。如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)相信你自己是一種挑戰(zhàn)，那么你就需要建立一個(gè)積極的(positive)自我形象，并學(xué)習(xí)愛自己。自我形象是你在大腦里形成的自己的畫像。這個(gè)形象包括你的外表、以及做事、講話和思考的方式。有趣地是，我們的自我形象通常和其他人對(duì)我們所持有的印象有相當(dāng)?shù)牟町?。不幸地?unfortunately)，這些形象中的大部分比它們應(yīng)該是的更加負(fù)面。從而改變你對(duì)自我的看法是改變自我形象和你的整個(gè)世界的關(guān)鍵。擊敗(defeat)消極(passive)自我形象的最好的方式就是后退(step back)，然后下決心

10、(decide)強(qiáng)化(stress)你的成功即寫下所有你每天做的偉大的事情，如果有必要，列個(gè)清單（make a list）。不要允許懷疑存在（dont allow doubts to occur）。你可能正因?yàn)闊o法克服自己的缺陷或自己看到的自身弱點(diǎn)而形成一種消極的自我形象。那么，就卷起(roll up)你的袖子(sleeve)，將改變?cè)O(shè)為你的首要目標(biāo)(primary task)。如果你因?yàn)閿?shù)學(xué)(math)不夠好而認(rèn)為自己是愚蠢的(silly)，就找一位家庭教師(tutor)。如果你因?yàn)闊o法跑完一英里而認(rèn)為自己虛弱，那就去田徑場(chǎng)上練習(xí)(practise)。如果你因?yàn)闆]有穿(wear)最新的(la

13、(侵蝕) in rural(鄉(xiāng)村的) areas, according to the national development and reform commission (ndrc) (中國(guó)國(guó)家發(fā)展和改革委員會(huì)).china has created an economic miracle(奇跡) fueled by rapid industrial growth and international trade-two decades of nearly double-digit economic growth-but at an environmental cost so high that

14、 it has caused many problems. air pollution has lowered chinas air, chemical spills (噴灑物) have poisoned rivers that supply drinking water to millions of people, and soil contamination(污染) ruins millions of tons of grain each year.the new investments(投資) are intended to repair some of the environment

15、al damage already done, and to help prevent future problems.china plans to build sewage-treatment(污水處理) plants in 10 river valleys to dispose(處理) of waste water from urban areas, reduce the amount of sulphur(硫)dioxide and dust in 113 major chinese cities, and set up.31 dangerous-waste disposal cente

18、毒河，而且土壤污染每年毀掉數(shù)百萬噸糧食。新投資計(jì)劃(be intended to)用于修復(fù)(repair)已經(jīng)造成的對(duì)環(huán)境的破壞(damage)，并幫助預(yù)防(prevent)將來的問題。中國(guó)計(jì)劃在十個(gè)山谷(valley)建設(shè)污水處理廠(plant)，來處理城區(qū)的(urban)污水，減少113個(gè)中國(guó)主要城市的二氧化硫和灰塵(dust)的量(amount)，建設(shè)(set up)31個(gè)危險(xiǎn)廢物(dangerous waste)處理中心來處理國(guó)內(nèi)的垃圾(garbage)。據(jù)中國(guó)國(guó)家發(fā)展和改革委員會(huì)的消息，中國(guó)還計(jì)劃建造相應(yīng)的設(shè)施來確保核安全并防止核輻射(nuclear radiation)。第18篇m

19、uch of the energy that comes from the sun never reaches the earths surface. it is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the earths surface. the remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, c

20、auses water to evaporate(蒸發(fā))，and provides energy for the water cycle and weatheronly a tiny part， approximately 0.023，is actually used by green plants to produce foodmany gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the earths surface back to the earth. these gases act li

21、ke the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. they are therefore called greenhouse gases.when sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. the amount reflected depends on the surface. for example, yo

22、uve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. snow reflects most of the energy from the sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. dark colored surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.許多來自太陽(yáng)的能量無法到達(dá)(reach)地球表面（sur

23、face)。這些能量被高層大氣(upper atmosphere)的氣體反射或(either)吸收(absorb)。到達(dá)低層大氣的能量里，30是被云(cloud)或地球表面反射。其余70讓這個(gè)星球的表面變熱，導(dǎo)致水蒸發(fā)，然后為水循環(huán)(cycle)和天氣提供能量。實(shí)際上(actually)，只有極小一部分(part)，大約(approximately)0.023被綠色植物用來制造食物。大氣中許多氣體把地球放出的熱能反射到地球上。這些氣體的作用如溫室(greenhouse)的玻璃(glass)，因?yàn)樗鼈冊(cè)试S來自太陽(yáng)的能量進(jìn)入(enter)但阻止能量離開。因此它們被稱之為溫室氣體。當(dāng)陽(yáng)光照到一個(gè)物體

24、(object)上，一些能量被吸收，另一些被反射。反射能量的多少取決于(depend on)表面。例如，你可能注意到(notice)陽(yáng)光(sunlight)照在雪(snow)上是多么的明亮。雪將來自太陽(yáng)的大部分能量反射，因此導(dǎo)致(contribute to)冬天的低溫(low temperature)。暗色的表面，如黑土或森林(forest)，會(huì)吸收更多的能量，這有助于周圍的空氣變暖。第19篇teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym scientific invest

25、igations （調(diào)查;研究) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. ideas are shared, experiences are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators (研究員).group work is necessary, and is usually more productive(多產(chǎn)的 ;生產(chǎn)的) than working alones

26、everal times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. whatever the task your group is assigned(分配; 指定) ,a few rules need to be followed to ensure(確保) a productive and successful experience.what comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyones ideas dese

33、aluation（評(píng)估) of the teams effectiveness - the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.第19篇在科學(xué)上，團(tuán)隊(duì)精神(teamwork)和在運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)上或體育館(gym)里一樣重要。科學(xué)（的）(scientific)研究幾乎總是由一起工作的一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)執(zhí)行的。科學(xué)家與其他研究人員一起分享思想、設(shè)計(jì)(design)實(shí)驗(yàn)、分析(analyze)資料(data)，評(píng)估(evaluate)并分享結(jié)果。群體工作是必要的，而且通常比單獨(dú)工作更容易出成果。一年里你可能會(huì)遇到幾次被要求與一個(gè)或多個(gè)同學(xué)共同工

34、作的情況。無論你所在的小組被分配了什么任務(wù)(task)，為確保使你們的合作成為一次富有成效的成功經(jīng)歷，都需要遵守(follow)以下幾條規(guī)則。首先要具有開放的頭腦，因?yàn)槊恳粋€(gè)人的意見都值得考慮(deserve consideration)，每一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)成員都能做出他她自己的貢獻(xiàn)(contribution)，第二，團(tuán)隊(duì)精神使團(tuán)體中工作的劃分(divide)更容易。在團(tuán)隊(duì)中選擇一個(gè)最能展示你力量或長(zhǎng)處(strength)的角色。第三，總是一起工作，輪流做事，通過傾聽、闡明(clarify)和信任來鼓勵(lì)彼此。相互的支持和信任通?？梢詫?dǎo)致巨大的不同。像調(diào)查一樣的活動(dòng)，在由小團(tuán)體執(zhí)行時(shí)是最有效的。下面是在

35、這些活動(dòng)期間，使團(tuán)隊(duì)能有良好表現(xiàn)(performance)的更多建議。確保每一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)成員理解并同意分配給自己的任務(wù)，每個(gè)人都確切地知道時(shí)間、理由和要做的工作；在相似或重復(fù)(repeat)的活動(dòng)中，讓成員輪流做不同的(various)工作；要知道(be aware of)其他的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員在哪兒、在做什么，以便于確保安全；要為自己的成果負(fù)責(zé)(be responsible for)，雖然與團(tuán)隊(duì)的其他成員比較觀測(cè)結(jié)果并非不明智的(unwise)。當(dāng)有研究要做時(shí)，將主題(topic)劃分(divide)成幾部分，這樣可以非常詳盡地探索explore)問題。你應(yīng)當(dāng)對(duì)每個(gè)人所用的資料來源(origin)做記錄

36、(keep records of)，這有助于你找到可能意外(unexpectedly)出現(xiàn)的一些問題的根源。交流信息(exchanging information)的格式（format）(例如，筆記的復(fù)印本，口頭討論(oral discussion)等也很重要，因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)精心挑選的方法(method)不僅可以強(qiáng)化(strengthen)你想要表達(dá)(present)的內(nèi)容，而且會(huì)使你自己的話更容易被別人理解。當(dāng)需要做出決定或就問題選擇立場(chǎng)時(shí)，要允許團(tuán)隊(duì)每一個(gè)成員發(fā)表自己的意見。最重要的是，通過和解(compromise)和達(dá)成協(xié)議(agreement)做出決定總是明智的。在你已完成(complet

37、e)團(tuán)隊(duì)分配給你的任務(wù)時(shí)，對(duì)團(tuán)隊(duì)的有效性做一個(gè)評(píng)估長(zhǎng)處和不足，機(jī)遇和挑戰(zhàn)。第20篇this friday well have the yearly egg drop challenge, said our science teacher, mr. baker. you can work alone or with a partner.”my friend, cassie, and i smiled at and hugged each other. we always worked on projects together.the goal of the challenge was simpl

38、e-to build a protective container to keep an egg from breaking when dropped over the stadium wall.i made my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for cassie. spreading the butter-cream (甜奶油) gave me an idea.i have a brilliant design for our egg container!” i said when cassie arrived. we can protect

39、the egg with some butter cream”why not pit the egg in a basket with a parachute(降落傘) attached ? cassie rolled her eyes. the parachute is better than that stupid idea.”i couldnt believe it. of course wed had our little fights in the past, but shed never called any of my ideas stupid before.then ill b
