　　According to a weather expert's prediction, the atmosphere will be 3℃ warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate．If this warming up took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities．

　　In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet．But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic．It may be affected by only a few degrees of warming．

　　Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing．The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place．This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth．

　　However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures seem to be falling．Scientists conclude, therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man．The question is：Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?

　　One possibility is ________．Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and“cold”spots on the sun．As the sun rotates(旋转)，it presents hotter or“colder”faces to the earth, and different aspects to different parts of the earth．This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation．The sun is also variable over a long term：its heat output goes up and down in cycles, the latest trend being downward．

　　The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well．Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an expected question,“Which is not important, law or love?”

　　Job applicants increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this．And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China．Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted．So these are qualities that reasonable intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are．

　　In response, employers are increasingly using questions that can try and show the applicants' true personality．The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Personality Sorter．It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, ________ This is often called aptitude(智能)testing．

　　According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult．When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may well fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see．

　　This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma(窘境)．Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest．But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for．Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer．

　　Successful people always have a dream．They dream big dreams and then show great courage to do things that others say cannot be done．

　　Your dreams form the foundation of success．Many people have long forgotten the dreams they used to have when they were kids．As they grow older, they are simply to catch up with their work activities so that they fail to discover what they really want to pursue in life．

　　To get you back on track to pursue your dreams, follow these steps：

　　Learn to dream again：We are born to dream．But we hear of teachers calling in school：“Stop dreaming and pay attention in class!”Parents, too, have shouted,“Stop dreaming and get on with your homework!”In the end, many do get“realistic”and give up their dreams in time．

　　Dream big dreams：Never set mental boundaries on what you are able to achieve．Dreams are free anyway as long as you are dreaming, you might as well dream big．Many people cannot realize their dreams and achieve greater success because they limit their own beliefs．

　　Flee from dream killers：Dream killers are destructive to your success．Your friends, colleagues and even loved ones can be one of your dream killers．There are people who will try to change, confuse or persuade you ________, not the life that you want．

　　Take action immediately：Once you have big and clear dreams, take immediate action to work toward making them come true．Weeks later, the passion will grow cold and months later, that passion may be gone forever．
