You are probably better at some school subjects than others. The

11、se may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak

12、subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most just but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. T

13、his is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery (烹飪術(shù)) and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Satur

14、days or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a parti

15、cular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle (運(yùn)用) tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend the

16、y do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognise that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.1、According to the passage, the author encourage us to .Arealise the

21、hamperslocal development.It will be Chinas first broadband Internet accesssystem with small satellites hovering in low orbit, whichwill also help meet the needs of commercial space development.The project, named Hongyun, plans to send the firstsatellite by 2019, and launch four more by 2020. By thee

22、nd of 2025, CASIC plans to have all of the 156 satellites in operation.The Hongyun Proiect, which focuses on communication,remote sensing and navigation, can offer communicationand Internet services for China and less-developed 3countries with reduced latency. Meanwhile, the projectcan also benefit

23、emergency communication, sensor data collection and remote control of unmanned equipment.Currently, international maritime satellites are widely used in communications in mountainous areas and airplanes, but those satellites, 36, 000 kilometers abovethe Earth, have time and signal delay as well as h

24、igh cost for providing services.The small satellites sent by the Hongyun Project will hover in low orbits only hundreds of kilometers to 1, 000 kilometers above the Earth, and thus could improve the Internet access. However, the low orbit satellites may face challenges in power supply, as they need

25、more energyto reduce the influence of air-resistance compared to highorbit satellites. Experiments are needed to determinewhether solar energy alone is enough.1、According to the passage, _.A156satellites will be launched by the Hongyun Project by 2020Binternational maritime satellites can cause sign

31、mbined, two-lap marathon in Florence, Italy. As I approached the finishing line, the crowd began to cheer. I was surprised. Here I was, thousands of miles from home, and the Italians were shouting for “IIPenguino.”About 20 yards from the finishing, the truth set in when the winner of the full marath

32、on went past me as I was finishing the half-marathon. No one was cheering for me. No one probably even noticed that I was finishing. I couldnt help but smile at my own illusion of self-importance.Thats when I realized I had been running for every reason except the right one. I ran to make other peop

33、le happy, ran to live up to their expectations. But no one was watching no one cared. So I decided I was going to run for mejust meand gained a new enjoyment from the sport I hadnt truly experienced yet.

Physicists are creating a new class of ma

39、terials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years agosuperconductivity (超導(dǎo)體技術(shù)).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and

40、 efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannotthey do away with all electrical resistance. The signi

41、ficances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temp

42、eratures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水銀) to temperatures below -269 with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that supercond

43、ucted at -243. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助產(chǎn)士) to a new technology.1
