When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.
People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.
One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.
Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing(裁员).After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.
Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.

The scientists are trying to ________ natural energy to decrease air pollution.
[ ]
| There are many things we can do in our daily life to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas sent out. Probably the most important is to share what you have learned with your family and friends. ★ Use the family car less. Walk or cycle whenever possible. Take a bus. Try ride sharing. ★ Use less energy in the house by turning down the heat when you are away or sleeping and turning off lights and electrical equipment you aren't using. ★ If your family needs a car, make sure to buy a fuel-efficient one. An average car sends out nearly 60 tons of carbon dioxide during its lifetime, compared to between 22 and 30 tons from a fuel-efficient car. ★ Encourage your family to use the car more efficiently (有效地): for example, check the air in the tires. Underinflated tires can increase fuel use by 8%. Turn the car off instead of letting it run when it is stopped. Idling uses more gas and sets free carbon dioxide into the air, ★ Reuse, recycle and compost (把…合成肥料 ) your waste. It takes much less energy to reuse or recycle a product than to make a new one. Correctly composting your food and yard waste removes the methane (沼气) that they would cause at the landfill site. Buying less is al- ways the best. ★ Plant trees. Trees take in carbon dioxide, reduce pollution, provide shade, and look great. 1. Which of the following does the writer suggest that we should not do? A. Share cars with other people if possible. B. Make sure our car tires are well inflated. C. Compost our home waste at the landfill site. D. Buy less products even if we can afford. 2. A fuel-efficient car gives of ?_____ tons of carbon dioxide during its lifetime less than an average car. A. 22-30 B. 30-38 C. 60 D. 8-30 3. The purpose of this text is to call on people ________ A. to control greenhouse gas B. to make full use of energy C. to plant more trees D. to buy fuel-efficient cars |

All food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears. All life depends on energy from sunlight. Only plants can use this energy directly. Their leaves are little factories that use sunlight to make food from water and things in the soil and air. Plants in turn feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun's energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, other eats smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.
What about human being? We are members of many food chains. We eat vegetables and fruit. We also eat meat and drink milk.
