The earth was formed by about 4.6 billion years ago.

The first life appeared about a billion years later.

The first plaints didn’t appear until around 2 billion years ago.

Until about 580 million years ago, life forms were small and microscopic. Since that time, life has evolved into many different types or species. However, scientists estimate that more than 99% of them are now extinct.

-When did the first plant appear on earth?

–about 2 billion years ago.

There have been several extinction events in the history of the Earth.

In an extinction event, many life forms, or species of life, die out.

The causes of mass extinction events are unsolved mysteries.

These events are not predictable, and can happen at any time. Scientists think that some of them were started by asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions.

Events like this can change the global conditions that life depends on.

-What happens in an extinction event?

–Many species of life become extinct.

One major extinction event happened about 66 million years ago.

That event may have been started by a large asteroid that hit the Earth. As a result, the dinosaurs and about half of all species on the planet, died out.

When the asteroid hit the Earth, it started a chain of events.

A chain of events is a series of events linked together, like a chain.

-What may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?

–An asteroid hit the earth and started a chain of events.

This particular chain of events happened over a period of months and years.

When the asteroid hit the Earth, it caused a huge cloud of dust to enter the atmosphere.

This cloud of dust blocked the sun and darkened the Earth for many months.

Without enough sunlight, plants and plant-eating animals quickly died. With the deaths of so many plants and animals, the food chain collapsed This led to the deaths of many more species.

-What caused the food chain to collapse?

–The deaths of many plants and plant-eating animals.

Mass extinction events have played an important part in the evolution of life.

In fact, some extinction events have helps to accelerate evolution.

For example, some mammals lived through the age of the dinosaurs, but they couldn’t compete.

When the dinosaurs were removed, the mammals were able to compete more successfully.

Once they could compete, mammals evolved to higher state.

Without extinction events, perhaps we wouldn’t be here today.

-What may accelerate the evolution of mammals?

–the extinction of dinosaurs.

Mammals couldn’t compete successfully with the dinosaurs, so their evolution was blocked.

Scientists estimated that there had been at least 5 mass extinctions in the last 540 million years.

They also believed that we have entered a new extinction event. Species are becoming extinct at a much faster rate than before. Instead of the asteroid or volcanic eruptions, the current event is a result

of human activities.

Human activities, for example, have led to global warming.

-What is causing the current mass extinction event?

–human activities

-What do scientists believe has already started?

–a new extinction event.

Global warming is a result of an increasing in carbon gases in out atmosphere.

These gases trap heat from the sun, so the Earth is getting warmer.

As a result, sea levels are rising, and weather patterns are changing.

In addition, we humans are destroying the habitats of many plants and animals.

Cutting down forests, and polluting rivers destroys the habitats of many forms of life.

-Why are sea levels rising?

–With the rise in temperature, the polar icecaps are melting.

There is no longer any doubt that this is happening.

Species of life are disappearing at an increasing rate.

Global temperatures are rising and weather patterns are changing. Scientists are warning us that fast action is necessary to save our future. If we don’t act, we may go the way of the dinosaurs.

This new extinction event is caused by humans.

This man is holding a piece of fruit in his hand.

The piece of fruit is either an orange or an apple.

We can’t see which it is because we can’t see inside the box.

The probability that it is an orange is equal to the probability that it is an apple.

It may be an apple and it may be an orange.

It’s got to be one or the other.

It can’t be anything els e.

-What’s the probability that it’s a banana?

–The probability is 0%.

It may be an apple but it can’t be a banana.

Now let’s look at it from the man’s point of view.

From his point of view, the probabilities are different.

From his point of view, the probability that he has an orange is 100% or 0%.

That’s because he knows what he has.

For him, there is no uncertainly.

If he has an orange, the probability is 100%.

If he doesn’t have an orange, the probability is 0%.

He eithe r has it, or he doesn’t.

-From our point of view, what’s the probability that it’s an orange?

-50%.

From our point of view, the probability that he has an orange is 50%. From his point of view, the probability that he has an orange is 100% or 0%. So

the probability depends on your point of view.

-What’s the probability that it’s a banana?

–a 0% probability.

The probability depends on your point of view, or how much you know. People see things from different points of view.

This often leads to arguments between people.

Here are some examples.

From this man’s point of view, he is relaxing.

He needs to relax because he has been working too hard.

He hasn’t been getting enough sleep.

-If his wife shouts at him and tells him to get up and do something…

-he may shout back and refuse to help her.

His wife sees things differently.

She isn’t aware of how hard he has been working.

From her point of view, he is doing nothing.

However, she knows what needs to be done around the house. It

isn’t fair that she had to work while he does nothing.

-If he gets up and helps her…

-She may not appreciate his help.

-From the husband’s point of view, what’s he doing?

–He is relaxing.

When people see things from different points of view, they often come to different conclusions.

These differences can cause real communication problems.

People often argue with each other because they see things from a different point of view.

She is a designer who works for a company. As Emma’s graph shows, the biggest portion部分 of her day is spent working. She works an average of 8 hours a day, which is one third of her day. She gets an average of 6 hours to sleep which is 25% of her day. That’s less sleep than Marti n gets. According to his graph, he gets an average of 7 hours to sleep which is about 29% of his day. On the other hand, Martine who is engineer, works more hours than Emma does. Martine average 9 hours a day at work co mpare to Emma’s 8. That’s 37.5% compare to 33%. Other factors shown in the graph included time for meals and commuting to work. Other activities include getting dress and doing household chores such as doing laundry and paying bills. As you can see, for Martin, commuting is taking a large amount of his time. If he could reduce his commute time, he will have more time for other things. And it isn’t just the time. When the traffic is really heavy his commute is stressful. It will be great if he can work from home one or two days a week. He life will be more enjoyable. And we look at Emma’s graph, we see she probably needs more sleep. Perhaps, she should spend a bit less time socializing with her friends. On the other hand, socializing with her friend is something she really values. As for putting on makeup, she isn’t willing to change that. For her, exercising, socializing and staying beautiful help her deal with the stressful work. In conclusion, Emma and Martin both wish there were more hours in a day. This next graph shows how various factors compare important to 1350 jobs applicants. Applicants were between 20 to 25 years ago. They were asked to list which factors were most important for a good job. As the graph shows, money was the most important factor for 25% of the applicants. However, other factors are also important. The second most important factor was the work environment. In other words, for many, money is everything. People want to like where they work. In fact, if we combine working environment and co-workers, the total is 35%. This is well above the 25% for salary and benefits. Taking together, they are more important than salary and benefits. Career path is also important especially for younger applicants. They want to see that their job helps to build a successful career. For older workers, this may not be as important.

google搜索在翻译中的应用

Google翻译搜索使用技巧系列一：“相关搜索”和“猜测搜索” 从Chen Zhong-hung这个名字谈用google搜索人名 今天在做英译中翻译时碰到了这个Chen Zhong-hung，原文是“Chen Zhong-hung, counsellor in the Mainland Affairs Council of the Taiwan ...”。 初步判断此人应该姓“陈”，由于这篇新闻出自外国人之手，“Zhong-hung”到底是什么？不得而之。 使用google搜索，前几个结果是： 辽宁师范大学学报（自然科学版）· Journal of Liaoning Normal ...高校实验教学改革的实践探索徐斌, 马健康, 陈忠航, 唐泽波, XU Bin , MA Jian-kang , CHEN Zhong-hang 第3个结果也是陈忠航。 显然，这些结果与台湾没有任何联系。

于是，不妨从“Mainland Affairs Council ”下手，通过google搜索得知“Mainland Affairs Council ”是台湾“陆委会”。 重新用google搜索“陆委会陈”，结果是：陈江会，'陈'在google 中往往是'陈云'，还是无法得到正确结果。 再看此人的title：“counsellor ”，估计是顾问，于是再搜索：“台湾陆委会顾问陈”，终于，在第8个搜索结果中出现了蛛丝马迹： Untitled document - 繁 - [ 转为简体网页 ]从蔡之中陈崇弘新职看「陆委会」职务轮调. 台湾「陆委会」昨日下午举行港澳处及澳门 .... 记者会组团赴香港了解及采访立法会选举情势，陈崇弘作为参访团的顾问，却无法 ... https://www.wendangku.net/doc/b015789193.html,.mo/wa/2004/11/20041102a.htm - 10k - 网页快照 - 类似网页 于是，再搜索“台湾陆委会陈崇弘”，得到结果： 陈崇弘之所以在「陆委会」内出任职责之一是与记者打交道、组织记者会，其下设有新闻礼科部的联络处处长，看来是与他曾做过记者〔《台

google在线翻译英语 四大翻译工具在线翻译测评 大家首先来看一下同一句话不同翻译工具的翻译结果，之后再做下一步测评工作。第一个百度翻译 第二个金山翻译 第三个有道翻译 第四个谷歌翻译 相信细心的同学都已经发现了问题，百度翻译和金山翻译算是比较规范的，翻译结果让人可以基本理解，但是还是有缺陷，那就是最后一个词“Pineiros”是无法翻译出来的。 然而有道翻译和谷歌翻译则给我们带来了小小的惊喜！ 首先一点是，有道翻译把“Pineiros”成功翻译出来了，是十分工整。

最最不能让人接受的，就是谷歌翻译的结果，不仅最后一个“Pineiros”没有翻译出来，连整句话的意思都翻译的更“开放”了，真不愧是开放国家的翻译工具。 但是，同学们请注意，这些都不是这四大翻译工具的全部！ 真正的测评现在才要开始！ 百度翻译 【划词翻译功能】 个人认为，这是一个比较鸡肋的功能，基本上不会用得到。 使用方法很简单，在界面右下角有一个划词翻译开关的选项，点击使之变为蓝色即为打开状态。 打开此功能后，在翻译框左侧输入框划选要翻译的单词后，被划取得单词右上角会出现一个“译”字的按钮。 点击这个按钮后会显示被划取的单词的词典翻译。

打开后就是这个样子。 如果是在翻译过一个句子后想单独学习这个句子中的单词的话，这个功能还是挺方便的。 【朗读结果】 在把想要翻译的句子或单词输入到左边翻译框中，按下回车或“翻译”按钮后，结果会出现在右边的结果框中，再点击结果下方的这个按钮，就会听到相应的单词或句子的发音。 【复制结果】 在得到翻译结果后，这个图标就会出现在得到的结果右下方，点击它就能直接复制被翻译出来的文本。 【双语对照】 这个按钮会出现在翻译结果的左下方，是个勾选项，只有勾选后才会在翻译的结果上方出现原文，之前是没有的，勾选此选项后，将鼠标指针放到翻译结果的句子或单词上，结果和对应的原文就会变成高亮状态。

Unit 3-1 Listening 自然灾害和环境保护 There are many forms of lives on earth, including human beings. Life exists in a variety of conditions. Some forms of lives live in the watery environment, like the oceans. Other forms of lives can be found in very dry areas like desserts. However, for any form of live to exist, conditions must be right. When the conditions aren’t right, that form of lives can extinct. To become extinct means to die out completely. Conditions must be right for life to exist. Millions of years ago, there were forms of lives that no longer exist. When condition changed, this form of life died out. One extinction event happened about 250 million years ago. This is the largest extinction event of all time. Many forms of lives become extinct. 96% of all lives in the oceans died out. Most insects also became extinct. This event happened over a period of several million years. The causes of this extinction event are still unknown. Possible causes include largest volcanic eruptions and global warming. Some scientists believe that there were several causes. They believe that a series of events caused the extinctions. Scientists are working for better understand what really happened. In modern times, we human beings face changing conditions. For humans to live, we need clean air and clean water. Pollution is now a growing problem around the world. Pollution poisons the air and water that we depend on. Polluted air makes people sick and afraid to get outside. Polluted water poisons our food supply. As a result, we never know which foods are safe to eat. Human beings can be not live in a poisoned environment. Therefore, pollution is a major threat to our existence. Humans need temperature to be in a comfortable range. To be in a comfortable range means to be neither too hot nor too cold. With global warming, global temperatures are rising. As global temperatures rise, the polar icecaps will melt. As the polar icecaps melt, ocean levels will rise. Areas of some countries will soon be under water. People would be forced to relocated from flooded areas. In nature, even small changes can sometimes have large effects. It’s difficult to predict what’s going to happen. The entire ec osystem that we depend on is changing. Some of these changings are irreversible. Irreversible changes cannot be undone. Let’s hope the humans are smart enough to understand how the world is changing. With more understanding, we make better choices about what to do. We can face the challenge of the pollutions and global warming. We need to do this before it’s too late. This planet of earth is our only home and we need to protect it.
