17.We are not born with courage,but neither are we born with fear.Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences,by what someone has told you,by what you've read in the papers.Some fears are reasonable,like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning.But once you learn to avoid that situation,you won't need to live in fear of it.
Fears,even the most basic ones,can totally destroy our ambitions.Fear can destroy fortunes.Fear can destroy relationships.Fear,if left uncontrolled,can destroy our lives.Fear is one of the many enemies hidden inside us.
Let me tell you about three of the other enemies we face from within.The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference.What a tragic disease this is!"Ho-hum,let it slide.I'll just drift(漂流) along."Here's one problem with drifting:you can't drift your way to the top of the mountain.
The second enemy we face is indecision.Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise.It will steal your chances for a better future.Take a sword to this enemy.
The third enemy inside is doubt.Sure,there's room for healthy skepticism(怀疑).You can't believe everything.But you also can't let doubt take over.Many people doubt the past,doubt the future,doubt each other,doubt the government,doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities.Worst of all,they doubt themselves.I'm telling you,doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success.It will empty both your bank account and your heart.Doubt is an enemy.Go after it.Get rid of it.

9.Along the river banks ofthe Amazon and the Orinocothere lives a bird that swims before it can fly,flies like afatchicken,eatsgreen leave,has the stomach of a cow and has claws on its wings when young.They build their homes about 4.6m above the river,an important feature for the safety of the young.It is called thehoatzin.
In appearance,thebirds of bothsexes  look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red ontheunderside.The head is small,with a large set of feathers on the top,bright red eyes,and blue skin.Its nearest relatives are the common birds,cuckoos.Its most striking feature,though,is only found in the young.
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip.Using these four claws,together with the beak(喙),they can climb about in the bushes,looking very much like primitive birds must have done.When the young hoatzins have learned to fly,they lose their claws.
During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds,but in April,when the rainy season begins,they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.

D.To produce their young.
17.Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good:the iPad.Instead of looking at nature,I checked my e-mail.Instead of paddling a small boat,I followed my Twitter feed(推特简讯).Instead of reading great novels,I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning.I was behaving as if I were still in the office.My body was on vacation,but my head wasn't.
So this year I made up my mind to try something different:withdrawal(退出)from the Internet.I knew it wouldn't be easy,since I'm bad at self-control.But I was determined.I started by giving the iPad to my wife.
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past,making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration (沮丧).I was trapped,forced to go through with my plan.Largely cut off from e-mail,Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites,I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to,really?I had to do what I had planned to do all along:read books.
This experience has had a happy ending.With determination and the strong support of my wife,I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet,realizing finally that it was I,not the iPad,that was the problem.I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi."I don't need it,"I said.
However,as we return to post-vacation life,a harder test begins:Can I continue when I'm back at work?
There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great.I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely.But I hope to resist the temptation (诱惑)to check my e-mail every five minutes,which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two
I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive.Here I hope this one worked.

18.How fit are your teeth?Are you lazy about brushing them?Never fear:An inventor is on the case.An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush,and it lets you track(跟踪) your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don't forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you're brushing long enough."It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,"says Thomas Serval,the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone,so developers could,for example,create a game controlled by your toothbrush.You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth."We try to make it smart and fun,"Serval says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father.He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth.They said"yes,"but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry.He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer,from 99to199,and the U.S.is the first target market.

C.You'd like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
D.You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.
