●Does failure really exist?

If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. 1. The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

2.

Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! 3. Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.

●Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.

It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. 4. If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.

●Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.

Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. 5. You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.

A. Never give up on yourself.

B. Failure only exists in your own mind!

C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.

D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.

E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.

F. Instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!

G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.

Jerry Cain, coach of Stanford University Team, California, says “One of the programming problems was trying to figure out how to break a chocolate bar into a certain number of pieces of a certain number of sizes and to do it as quickly as possible. 2.

The students first listed the problems in order of difficulty. 3. They designed ways to test their solutions. And they wrote needed software systems. Even the winning team from Shanhai Jiaotong University in China was not able to solve all the problems within the given time limit. Stanford’s team solved five problems and finished in 14th place. Stanford was one of twenty-one American universities that took part in the contest this year.

The expression “a thirst for knowledge" may soon have a new meaning for millions of people who have no way to get clean water. Researchers have developed a book with specially treated pages that can turn dirty water into clean and drinkable water. They say their invention could improve the lives of many in the developing world.

About 700 million people around the world are at risk of disease or even death because their drinking water is not clean. The water is polluted by harmful bacteria.

The book contains 25 pages. Each page is about one millimeter thick. The pages contain very small particles (微粒) of silver. The pages can be used as filters(过滤器)to remove harmful microorganisms (微生物) that can pollute drinking water. The filter kills the organisms that pass through it.

Pictures on the pages show the dangers of dirty water and how to use the book for those unable to read. The pages are made of filter paper. They are designed to be torn from the book. Water can be poured through the paper to be cleaned.

Ms. Dankovich, the inventor, says each page can treat up to 100 liters of water. She recently presented her invention at the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, Massachusetts. She was asked whether she had considered adding classic literature on the book's pages.

"The idea of classic texts—that's of interest maybe later. We have discussed a little bit more exciting text. But we really haven't had the time to go through that part," she says.

Teri Dankovich and another researcher tested the drinkable book in Bangladesh, Ghana and South Africa. The tests proved to be successful.

Water for Life, a non-governmental organization, has provided financial support for the project.

1.What do we learn about the book from the text?

A. It sells well around the world.

B. It has pages with several functions.

C. It is about environment protection.

D. It can treat about 100 liters of water.

2.What does the underlined phrase "that part" in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A. Classic texts. B. Invention presentation.

C. Exciting discussion. D. Financial support.

3.In which country did not the researchers test the drinkable book?

A. Bangladesh. B. Ghana

C. South Africa. D. America.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Researchers have found a way to save those being ill.

B. Millions of people are in great need of drinkable water.

C. Book pages could provide safe drinking water.

D. Knowledge is as important as drinkable water.

Alaska’s Arctic lakes now freeze later and melt earlier in the year than in 1950,leaving them easy to suffer water loss from evaporation(蒸发)and possibly adding to local warming,a new study finds.The winter ice season near Barrow,Alaska,is shorter than in 1950,researchers reported Jan.30 in the journal The Cryosphere.

Lake ice is also thinner each winter.The scientists surveyed 402 lakes on the North Slope,where permafrost (permanently frozen ground)and shallow lakes dominate the areA. In 2011,the lake ice was 38 percent thinner than in 1950,and 22 percent fewer lakes froze through to their bottoms.

“When we saw the actual numbers we were shocked at how dramatic the change has been,”lead study author Cristina Surdu,of the University of Waterloo in Canada,said in a statement.Surdu and her co-authors analyzed the changes in lake—ice thickness and ice cover with satellite images and climate model simulations(satellite images are only available from 1991).

The climate models suggest the Arctic lakes froze almost six days later and broke up about 18 days earlier in the winter of 2011 compared with the winter of 1950.“The changes in ice and the shortened winter affect Northern communities that depend on ice roads to transport goods,”Surdu saiD. For example,every winter,oil companies build roads over frozen lakes to carry supplies to Prudhoe Bay.

“The dramatic changes in lake ice may also contribute to further warming of the entire region,because open water on lakes contributes to warmer air temperatures,”Surdu saiD. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet,for reasons that may include its layered atmosphere,which traps heat,and the loss of sea ice and snow cover,which help reflect the sun’s energy when present.

1.What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Arctic 1akes now freeze earlier and melt 1ater.

B. Alaska’s local warming is decreasing sharply.

C. Arctic lakes are losing ice.

D. Arctic lakes hold more flesh water than before.

2.According to the text,the great changes of Alaska’s Arctic lakes ________.

A. are totally beyond Surdu’s expectations

B. are completely within Surdu’s expectations

C. come as no surprise to Surdu and her co-authors

D. come as a great excitement to Surdu

3.How many days was the winter ice season of Arctic 1akes in 2011 shorter than that in 1950?

A. 6 days.

B. 12 days.

C. 18 days.

D. 24 days.

4.What is the last paragraph mainly about according to Surdu?

A. What reflects the sun’s energy.

B. How its layered atmosphere traps heat.

C. Why our planet is warming.

D. Why the Arctic region is becoming warmer.
