One way of preventing (阻止) floods may be by making rain! This may sound rather 1 . As we know, heavy rain is the 2 of floods, and in Malaysia, most of the 3 are caused by the annual monsoon (一年一度的湿季风), which brings heavy rain to the east coast. If, 4 ,the rain could be made 5 in the South China Sea, there would be 6 floods since the rain could not reach the east coast.
Is it possible to make 7 give up their rain? Yes, it is.
As you probably know, clouds are caused 8 air containing water-vapor (水蒸气). The air rises and, since water-vapor 9 water when it cools, very tiny drops of water are formed. Since these drops are very10 , they float (漂浮) in the air and 11 a cloud. When the cloud rises, however, the drop becomes 12 . Because of this, they 13 together and become big drops. The big drops are no longer able to float because of their 14 , and they fall. As they 15 , they pick up more drops and become bigger. This is the cause of rain.
Rain making 16 making these bigger drops form and fall 17 they would normally do so. This can be done by “seeding” the clouds with chemicals, 18 planting seeds in the ground. Rain can be produced 19 by these chemicals. The seeding is done by 20 which fly through the clouds.

We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education.Our 21 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 22 everything to their kindness and love.
When we 23 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 24 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 25 our own love and gratitude to them. 26, elders have also been through all the years you are 27 and know a little more about the world than you do.
It is 28 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new.All younger generations have always 29 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 30 .However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 31.
With changing times and 32 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders.Youngsters should 33 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 34 their voices.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 35 their places, and sit on the carpet.In buses and trains, youngsters are 36 to give up their places to older people.This is not a 37 of who has more rights.It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 38_, or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 39 disadvantage.
When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 40 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.

I used to be the messiest person alive.Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.
Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen.Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.
Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.
You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn’t work, you have way two and way three to lean back on.Therefore, different ways are needed at hand.It’s just a matter of being organized.Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn’t work, one of the other ones will.
Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary.It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done.
If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself.
Don’t try to tackle (处理)more things all at a time.All that does is delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy.
Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible.You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.
Last but not the least, you should never abandon things mid-project.It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself.Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money.
So, don’t be afraid of organization.The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way.It pays to be organized, after all.

You shouldn’t be afraid of organization because it’s really worthwhile. |
Memory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. Memory really is learning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to come when called.
Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a “memory trace(记忆痕).” What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark.
Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another method is called recognition. Give the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered.
One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.
