自信是成功的决定因素

Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates1 from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet.

信心成就一切。当你真正自信时，它就像灿烂的阳光一样从你身上散发出来，就像磁铁一样将成功吸引到你身上。

It’s very important to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.

相信自己非常重要。要相信自己在任何情况下都会成功，因为如果你相信你能做到，那么你就真的会做到。这种信念促使你不断地去寻找答案，而不断地探索就意味着你很快就会找到答案。

Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from acting with integrity3 and confidence. It comes from a strong sense of purpose. It comes from a strong commitment to take responsibility, rather than just letting life happen.

信心不只是一种态度。它来源于你确切地知道自己要去干什么并且确切地知道怎么去干。它来源于正直和自信地去行动。它来源于坚强的决心。它来源于强烈地勇于承担责任的许诺，而不是放任生命的流逝。

One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get a record of successful experiences behind you.

培养自信的一种方法是去做你害怕做的事情，并将它做成功。

Confidence is compassionate4 and understanding. It is not arrogant. Arrogance is born out of fear and insecurity, while confidence comes from strength and integrity.

信心是富有同情心和善解人意的。它一点都不傲慢自大。傲慢是由于害怕和缺乏安全感才产生，而信心则出于坚强决心和诚实正直。

Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do it. Know that you are capable of accomplishing anything you want, and live your life with confidence.

信心并不是仅仅认为你可能会成功，信心是确信你一定能成功。确信你有能力实现你的愿望，并充满信心地生活着。

Anything can be achieved through focused, determined effort and self-confidence. If your life is not what you want it to be, you have the power to change it, and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live your priorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment with your priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose, and you will have the life you want.

如果你足够专心、坚决和自信，任何事都能做成。如果生活不像你预想的那样，你有力量去改变它，并且你必须一步一步地实现这些改变。铭记你生命中重要的事。有目标并且有计划地去生活。时刻铭记你生命中重要的事。为你的目标而奋斗，你就会拥有自己想要的生活。

图书馆

Recently, I needed to find a book for one of my classes at the university, but I didn’t know if the university library had it in their collection, so I went to the library Web site and searched for the book online. You can search the library database either by subject, title, and author, and the Website will tell you if the book is checked in or check out by another patron. In my case, the book was still available, so I went to the library the next day and found it on the shelves using the library catalog number. I then went to the circulation desk and checked the book out using my university ID card. In most cases, students and faculty can check out books for up to one month, and you can renew them if you still want to hang on to them. If you return them after that, then they are overdue, and you have to pay a late fee. If you lose a book, then you have to pay the cost to replace it. I often use the library and check out books instead of buying them if I can. Borrowing books can save you money in the long run.

近，我需要给大学里的一位同学找一本书，但是我不知道大学图书馆是不是有这本书，于是我去图书馆的网站晚上搜了一下这本书。你可以按照主题，书名，作者在图书馆数据库里搜索，网站会告知你这本书是不是在馆或者被其他同学给借走了。我找的这本书还有，所以我第二天就去了图书馆，按照图书馆目录编码在架子上找到了那本书。之后去借书台，用大学借书卡借出了这本书。大多数情况下，学生和教职员工可以借出去一个月，如果你还是想看的话可以续借。如果这样到期之后还，那你就是超期借阅，你得付逾期费用。要是你丢了一本书，你得按照书本价格赔偿。我经常去图书馆，要是可以的话就去借书而不是买书。从长期来看借书省钱。

英语文章听力 篇3

A man had a little daughter—an only and much-loved child. He lived for her—she was his life. So when she became ill, he became like a man possessed, moving heaven and earth to bring about her restoration to health.

His best efforts, however, proved unavailing and the child died. The father became a bitter recluse, shutting himself away from his many friends and refusing every activity that might restore his poise and bring him back to his normal self. But one night he had a dream.

He was in heaven, witnessing a grand pageant of all the little child angels. They were marching in a line passing by the Great White Throne. Every white-robed angelic child carried a candle. He noticed that one child’s candle was not lighted. Then he saw that the child with the dark candle was his own little girl. Rushing to her, he seized her in his arms, caressed her tenderly, and then asked, “How is it, darling, that your candle alone is unlighted?” “Daddy, they often relight it, but your tears always put it out.”

Just then he awoke from his dream. The lesson was crystal clear, and its effects were immediate. From that hour on he was not a recluse, but mingled freely and cheerfully with his former friends and associates. No longer would his darling’s candle be extinguished by his useless tears.

一个男人有一个小女儿，那是的孩子，他深深地爱着她，为她而活，她就是他的生命。所以，当女儿生病时，他像疯了一般竭尽全力想让她恢复健康。

然而，他所有的努力都无济于事，女儿还是死了。父亲变得痛苦遁世，避开了许多朋友，拒绝参加一切能使他恢复平静，回到自我的活动。但有一天夜里，他做了一个梦。

他到了天堂，看到所有的小天使都身穿白色天使衣，手里拿着一根蜡烛。他注意到有一个小天使的蜡烛没有点亮。随后，他看到那个拿着没有点亮的蜡烛的小天使是自己的女儿。他奔过去，一把将女儿抱在怀里，亲切地爱抚着她，然后问道：“宝贝儿，为什么只有你的蜡烛没有点亮呢？”“爸爸，他们经常重新点亮蜡烛，可是你的眼泪总是把它熄灭。”

就在这时，他从梦中醒来。梦给他上的一课像水晶般透明，而且立竿见影。从那个时刻起，他不再消极遁世，而是自由自在，兴高采烈的回到从前的朋友和同事们中间。宝贝女儿的蜡烛再也没有被他无用的眼泪熄灭过。

Ambition

抱负

It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: without demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity. Competition would never enter in, conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. The family would become super fluous as social unit, with all its former power for bringing about neurosis drained away, Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.

一个缺乏抱负的世界将会怎样，这不难想象。或许，这将是一个更为友善的世界：没有渴求，没有磨擦，没有失望。人们将有时间进行反思。他们所从事的工作将不是为了他们自身，而是为了整个集体。竞争永远不会介入；冲突将被消除。人们的紧张关系将成为过往云烟。创造的重压将得以终结。艺术将不再惹人费神，其功能将纯粹为了庆典。作为社会单位的家庭及其所带来精神伤痛也将荡然无存，人的寿命将会更长，因为由激烈拼争引起的心脏病和中风所导致的死亡将越来越少。焦虑将会消失。时光流逝，抱负却早已远离人心。

Ah, how unrelieved boring life would be!

啊，长此以往人生将变得多么乏味无聊！

There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events now not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on one’s own. But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove allmotives for competence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity.

有一种盛行的观点认为，成功是一种神话，因此抱负亦属虚幻。这是不是说实际上并不丰在成功？成就本身就是一场空？与诸多运动和事件的力量相比，男女的努力显得微不足？显然，并非所有的成功都值得景仰，也并非所有的抱负都值得追求。对值得和不值得的选择，一个人自然而然很快就能学会。但即使是最为愤世嫉俗的人暗地里也承认，成功确实存在，成就的意义举足轻重，而把世上男女的所作所为说成是徒劳无功才是真正的无稽之谈。认为成功不存在的观点很可能造成混乱。这种观点的本意是一笔勾销所有提高能力的动机，求取业绩的兴趣和对子孙后代的关注。

We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historicalepoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what istrivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.

我们无法选择出生，无法选择父母，无法选择出生的历史时期与国家，或是成长的周遭环境。我们大多数人都无法选择死亡，无法选择死亡的时间或条件。但是在这些无法选择之中，我们的确可以选择自己的生活方式：是勇敢无畏还是胆小怯懦，是光明磊落还是厚颜无耻，是目标坚定还是随波逐流。我们决定生活中哪些至关重要，哪些微不足道。我们决定，用以显示我们自身重要性的，不是我们做了什么，就是我们拒绝做些什么。但是不论世界对我们所做的选择和决定有多么漠不关心，这些选择和决定终究是我们自己做出的。我们决定，我们选择。而当我们决定和选择时，我们的生活便得以形成。最终构筑我们命运的就是抱负之所在。

全球变暖问题

英语听力原文：

Global warming may or not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but—regardless of weather it is or isn't— we won't do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.

全球变暖有可能是21世纪巨大的环境危机，也有可能不是，但是无论它是或不是我们对此都无能为力。我们会争论不休，作为一个国家，或许会做出一些听起来相当认真的来避免这一危机。但是这些看起来越是令人印象深刻、越是有意义，就越是不太可能被遵守。

Al Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put in on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don't know enough to believe global warming, and — with our major technological breakthroughs — we can't do much about it.

Al Gore 称全球变暖是一个“让人感到麻烦的事实”，似乎只要认识到它的存在就可以把我们带往一条解决问题的途经上去。但是真正的事实是，我们没有掌握足够的知识去缓解全球变暖，并且如果没有重大的技术突破，我们对此也束手无策。

No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel)that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they're “doing something”。 Consider the Kyoto Protocol. It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn't. But it hasn't reduced CO? emissions (up about 25% since 1990)， and many signatories didn't adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008 — 2012 targets.

没有哪个政府会对经济增长和个人自由（限制电力的使用，驾驶和旅游）采取严格的限制令，虽然这样的限制可以缓解全球变暖。即便事实如此，执政者们还是想表明他们在“采取措施”。就拿《京都协议》来说吧，它允许其成员国惩罚非成员国。但是它并没有起到减少二氧化碳的排放量（自从1990年以来上升了25%）的作用，并且，许多签字国并没有采取足够严格的政策来尽力完成他们所制定的2008—2012年度的目标。

The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.

比较实际的结论是，如果全球变暖是一个潜在的灾难，那么的解决办法就是新技术。只有积极进取的研究开发项目才可能会找到办法打破我们对于化石燃料的依赖，或者找到应对这一难题的办法。

The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it's really engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don't solve the engineering problem, we're helpless.

全球变暖这场辩论所存在的问题是，它本是一个技术问题，却都已经变成了一个道德问题。这个被忽视的真相就是，如果不能解决这个技术问题，我们将对此束手无策。

有能力帮助别人是一种幸福

The hummingbird was lost in the supermarket, exhausted, starving, and near death as it spiraled towards the ground on helpless wings.

一只蜂鸟在超市里迷路了，它疲惫不堪且饥饿难耐，由于无力挥动双翼，小蜂鸟飞得越来越低，眼看就要奄奄一息。

I snatched her away from the crushing carts, cupped her in my hands, and rushed for the exit.

我一把将它抓住，让它免于遭受被推车碾压的命运。我小心翼翼地托着蜂鸟，向出口跑去，感到它小而柔软的身体躺在我的掌心。

She was tiny and soft against my palms. I ran out towards the flowers. She was too weak to perch; I cupped her in my palm and held her up to each flower to drink.

我跑向花丛，然而这只蜂鸟太虚弱了，站都站不起来。于是我举着它，让它挨个吸食每朵花的花蜜。

Slowly, she perked up and her claws tightened on my finger. Then she spread her wings and flew on her own: a tiny, sweet miracle.

渐渐地蜂鸟有了精神，它的爪子抓紧了我的手指，之后它挥动着翅膀飞了起来——这小小的，甜蜜的奇迹。

The Gift Of Love

爱的天赋

If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

就算我能说万人的方言和天使的话语，但如果没有爱，我不过就如鸣锣一般；就算我有预知未来的能力，就算我精通各种知识和奥秘，就算我有坚定的信念，但如果没有爱，我就什么都算不上；就算我拿所有的财物周济穷人，就算我能做出舍己为人的壮举，但如果没有爱，我仍将一无所有。

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

爱是一种忍耐，爱是一种友善；爱不是嫉妒，不是自大，不是鲁莽，不是固执己见，不是轻易发怒。爱意味着憎恶不义，赞赏真理；爱意味着包容一切，相信一切，对生活充满希望，并能忍受生活中的一切。

Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I thought like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

爱是永无止境的，但又是有尽头的；就像知识一样，必将归于乌有。我们现在搜掌握的知识很有限，当我们掌握了完整的知识时，有限的知识必将归于乌有。当我还是一个孩子的时候，我像孩子一样说话，像孩子一样思考问题，像孩子一样推理；但我一旦成年，就不再像孩子一样了。现阶段，我们很多时候好像是从镜子里观看事物，对很多事物都看不清，但有朝一日我们会直面这些事物。现阶段，我知道的东西很有限，但有朝一日我会懂得一切。如今，常存在人们心中的东西有三样：信念、希望和爱，而其中爱是重要的！

Man and Nature

人与自然

The intimacy between man and Nature began with the birth of man on the earth, and becomes each century more intelligent and far reaching. To Nature, therefore, we turn as to the oldest and mostinfluential teacher of our race; from one point of view once our task master, now our servant; from another point of view, our constant friend, instructor and inspirer. The very intimacy of this relation robs it of a certain mystery and richness which it would have for all minds if it were the reward of the few instead of being the privilege of the many. To the few it is, in every age, full of wonder and beauty; to the many it is a matter of course. The heavens shine for all, but they have a changingsplendor to those only who see in every midnight sky a majesty of creative energy and resource which no repetition of the spectacle can dim. If the stars shone but once in a thousand years, men would gaze, awe struck and worshipful, on a vision which is not less but more wonderful because it shines nightly above the whole earth. In like manner, and for the same reason, we become indifferent to that delicately beautiful or sublimely impressive sky scenery which the clouds form and reform, compose and dissipate, a thousand times on a summer day. The mystery, the terror, and the music of the sea; the secret and subduing charm of the woods, so full of healing for the spent mind or the restless spirit; the majesty of the hills, holding in their recesses the secrets of light and atmosphere; the infinite variety of landscape, never imitative or repetitious, but always appealing to the imagination with some fresh and unsuspected loveliness; - who feels the full power of thesemarvelous resources for the enrichment of life, or takes from them all the health, delight, andenrichment they have to bestow?

从地球上人类出现开始，人与自然之间的密切关系也随之诞 生，而且这种关系每一世纪都比以前变得更为明智而深 远。因此，我们求助于自然，并把自然视为人类的最年长和最有 影响力的老师。从某一种观点来看，自然曾经一度是我们的监 工，现在却变为我们的奴仆。但从另一种观点来看，自然一直是 我们的最忠实的朋友、导师和启发者。这种和谐紧密的关系，如 果仅仅是少数人的特权，而大多数人并不能享有，那便会在人们心目中引发一种神秘和情趣。但是事实上，这种亲密关系是被 天下所有的人共同享有的，这就使得这和谐紧密的关系失去神 秘感和情趣。对于少数人来讲，这种关系在每个时代都充满了奇妙和美好；对于多数人来讲，这种关系只是理所当然的一件 事。天空照耀着每一个人，但是只有在少数人的心目中具有一 种变化多端的壮丽，他们在每一个午夜的`天空都能看到一种蕴 含着创造性的能力的庄严肃穆之美，无论那种景象重复多少次， 都不会使那种美模糊不清。如果星辰一千年才照耀一次大地， 人们将怀着敬畏尊崇的心情凝视那种美景，而那种美景如果夜 夜在全世界的上空出现，不但不会减损，反而更为增加它的奇 妙。同样，基于相同的原因，我们对于夏曰天空的那种由浮云聚 散飘忽所形成的一曰之间千变万化的纤巧秀丽或壮丽动人的景 色，也都漠然置之。海洋的神秘、恐怖和韵律，有助于医疗疲惫 心灵和烦躁精神的森林所具有的奥妙和慑人魂魄的麂力；在其 幽深之处保有光与大气之奥秘的山峦所呈现的庄严肃穆之美； 从不模仿或重复、永远以一种出人意料的新鲜的美丽来冲击人 类想像力的风景变幻无穷——谁能感受到这些奇异景物的全部 力量，或者能从它们那里得到它们所赐予的健康、快乐和丰美呢？

《酸奶》

When you open a container of yogurt, you’ll often see liquid collected on top. Some people mix it back into the yogurt, and others drain it off. What is it, and where does it come from?

打开一盒酸奶，你常常会发现有一层液体浮在表面。有的人把它拌入酸奶中，有的人则将这层液体倒掉。这层液体究竟是什么东西，它又是从哪来的呢？

To solve the mystery of the liquid in yogurt, let’s take a few steps back, to the milk that yogurt is made of. Milk has two different types of proteins. Most of the proteins are casein proteins, and the rest are whey proteins–of curds and whey fame.

为了揭开酸奶中这层液体的神秘面纱，让我们往回追溯，去看看制作酸奶的原料—牛奶。牛奶有两种不同类型的蛋白质。大部分蛋白质是酪蛋白，其余是乳清蛋白，包括凝质和乳清。

If you look at a glass of milk, you can’t tell the casein from the whey. But that changes when special bacteria are added to milk to make yogurt. Yogurt-producing bacteria ferment the sugars in milk and produce an acid. As a result, the mixture is more acidic than before, and this higher acidity solidifies the casein proteins. The whey proteins, on the other hand, don’t solidify, and separate out from the casein as liquid.

单单看一杯牛奶，我们是无法从中分辨出酪蛋白和乳清的。但是往牛奶中加入特殊的细菌来制作酸奶时，情况就不一样了。制作酸奶用的细菌会发酵牛奶中的糖并制 成酸。因此，混合物比之前更酸，更高的酸度使得酪蛋白凝固。而另一方面，乳清蛋白则不会凝固，它会从酪蛋白中以液体的形式分离出来。

Yogurt you buy in the store has a stabilizer, usually fruit pectin, to keep the solid casein and liquid whey mixed together. But some of the whey still separates out from the casein, and that’s what you see when you open the yogurt container.

你在超市买到的酸奶中含有一种稳定剂，通常是果胶，它的作用是让固体的酪蛋白和液体的乳清混合在一起。但是部分乳清仍然从酪蛋白中分离出来，那就是你在打开酸奶包装时所看到的液体。

Whey contains not only proteins but also B vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin, and thiamin, which can’t be found in the solid portion of the yogurt. Because of the nutritional value of whey, your best bet is to mix it back into the rest of the yogurt, then gobble it down！

乳清不仅含有蛋白质还有维生素B，维生素B包括核黄素，烟酸和硫an素，这些物质反倒无法在酸奶的固体部分中获得。因为乳清的营养价值，你的选择是把它和酸奶搅拌在一起，然后一饮而尽！
