The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure. 1 But he could not go far beneath its surface.
2 However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he can’t stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.
A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. 3 He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. 4
When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles(气泡). The diver is then suffering from the bends(潜水夫病). The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. 5

| The standard of living of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country’s standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy, “goods” such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment. A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a very degree upon a country's natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them. The USA is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders, her soil is fertile, and her climate is of variety. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy. Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion (侵略), enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin (富余) for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day. |

| The five R's are five questions that we ask ourselves all the time in order to judge whether we're doing a good job for our customers, having positive vendor(小贩) relationships, and dealing with our peers(同辈人)and those around us. Respect: Have you been respectful to whomever you're dealing with whether it's a customer, peer, or a vendor? And we define respect not as a respect for a superior, but a respect for someone because they walk on this planet with you. And you give them respect equally as you would do. Respond:Have you been responsive to the needs of your customer or the person you're dealing with? Many people say "You didn't react fast enough"and I actually don't agree with that philosophy. I think it's more that you're not responding fast enough. Reacting is a very emotional thing. Responding to somebody involves thinking about what you're doing so you can help them. Responding implies that you're listening to what they want and what they're saying, and you're trying to find a solution for them. Realistic:Have you been realistic about what you can or cannot do? If somebody comes to us with an unrealistic goal that they need fulfill (完成), then we need to immediately tell them that we can't do it. We will ruin our own reputation(名誉) through over promising. Responsibility: It's easy for one person to take responsibility, but it's difficult in an organization where each person has a job to do and different people are shepherding that project. Everybody has to go into it with the philosophy that this is my project and I own it collectively(共同地) with everybody else, but I'm going to make it a personal responsibility when this thing succeeds. Remembered:When you walk away from a situation with a customer, vendor, peer, or anyone in your organization, are you going to be remembered positively? And if you have done all of the other four R's, I think you are going to be remembered positively.
