污染已成为问题，因为在当今人口越来越多，社会越来越工业化的世界上，人类正在污染他们居住的环境。许多科学家认为人类最大的错误是把发展和进步等同起来。现在人们以怀疑的态度看待“发展性”的产业，因为它们的副作用会破坏环境，破坏各种生命之间的关系。人口的增长导致对世界上有限的空气、水和土地的需求不断增长。伴随着人口增长的是越来越多的人渴望更高的生活水平。于是对电、水和商品的更大需求必然造成有更多的废物要处理。这个问题已经引起人们对生物及其环境的日益关注。许多人认为，人类没有尽快地解决这一问题，却只顾谋求私利，以致于到了无可挽救的地步以后才充分认识到这种兵贵神速。

人们对智力所指的有那些不同表现看法比较一致，而对这些表现如何进行解释和分类，意见就不那么一致了。但人们一般认为智力高的人在处理问题时能抓住要点，善于区分，能进行逻辑推理，和利用语言和数学符号。智力测试只能很粗地衡量孩子的学习能力，尤其是学习学校要求的东西的能力。智力测试并不能衡量一个人的个性，社会适应力，耐力性，劳动技能，或艺术才能。人们不认为能做到这些，当初也不是为这些目的设计的。批评智力测试不能做到这一些，就如同批评温度计不能测风速一样。既然对智力的评估是相对而言的，那么我们必须确保，在对我们的对像进行比较时，我们所使用的尺度能提供“有效的”或“公正的”比较。

目前全国有39所大学开设地理学位课程，但我从未看到广告上有招聘地理专业的大学毕业生的好工作。或是不是只有我一个人怀疑他们将回到学校教另一批学生的地理，而这些学生将来又去教更多的学生的地理？现在只有10所大学开设航天工程学位课程，考虑到飞机制造业一直在裁员的速度，还是这样做好。另一方面，由于缺少医生，全国的医院急诊室不得不纷纷关门。为什么？因为大学的医学院只能为申请攻读学位的一半人提供名额。对我说，来，时机已经成熟，就业部和教育部应当和名大学携手起来，改革我们的教育制度，使之更珍惜地使用学校的人才资源，学生的刻苦勤奋精神。而现在这些人才和努力都浪费在无人感兴趣的文凭和学位上。

在竞争的法则下，上万人的雇主不得不实行一些最严厉的节约措施，其中节约给工人报酬的那部分占很大一部分。社会为这个法则付出的代价如同为低廉的舒适条件和奢侈品付出的代价一样是巨大的。但带来的好处超过了代价，因为正是这个法则，我们才有了了不起的物质进步，其结果是生活水平的提高。但是，不管这个法则是好是坏，我们无法回避，对任何建议替代它的新东西，其作用我们是不敢肯定的，虽然这个法则有时对个人来说可能很残
酷，但对人类来说是好的，因为它确保每个领域里适者生存。我们接受并欢迎环境上的不平等，接受并欢迎让工商业经营集中在少数人的手里，接受和欢迎他们之间存在竞争的法则，我们把所有这一切看成是我们必须适应的条件，看成对人类未来的进步不仅有益，而且是很有必要的。

许多本质上的不同造成了美语从英语中分出来。而主要的不同是两种语言根植于两个完全不同的社会环境和文化传统。自欺欺人17世纪来，美国人和英国人在这两方面的差异十分明显。英国人相对说来生活在一个相对稳定的社会秩序里。这种秩序铭记在他们心灵里的是对习惯上和名誉上的东西有一种特有的尊敬。虽然第一次世界大战改变了他们大多数的风俗习惯，但在这之前，他们的全部生活，或许比其他任何民族的生活，除西班牙人，都更受到先例的制约。而虽然美国人中一部分的祖先是英国人，但他们没有这种约束。也没有这种一致性习惯的要求。相反，他们走到了另一个极端，因为他们国家的生活状况使他们看重的是好奇和冒险这恰恰相反的品质，这样他们养成的是不安现状，厌烦形式主义，藐视旧势力的影响的个性。这些个性在他们身上普遍反映出来。

造成不同领域里的科学研究的发展相对不平衡是有多方面的原因的。有些完全是由于社会需要的必然结果，另一些则是由于科学在一定程度上自我加速而产生某些特定发展的必然结果。然而，还有一些并不完全是不同发展的必然过程，因为在这些发展中，当权者对科学理论应当形成的方式的偏见往往改变了不同科研领域里的发展规律。这是一个新的问题，但不是不可避免的。但这是一个可怕的趋势。这种趋势始于第二次世界大战期间，当时一些国家的政府得出结论：政府要向科研机构提出的具体要求通常是无法详尽预见的。因此，把科研机构看作是一种资源或让其保持正常运转的机器一般说来是很重要的。

早些时候，知识的领域不大，掌握起来并不太困难，知识发展又慢，喜欢学习的人大可希望探索其中的大部分。而今天当知识的领域向前推进的速度越来越快，向后挖掘的历史隧道越来越宽。甚至连最百折不挠的，富有开拓精神的人也只能希望探索这个巨大知识大陆的一小部分。在我们收听中，就如我们在其他的学习活动中，我们必须有选择。但是没有人可以忽略现代科学。当然，现代科学的一些结论和理论，和结论、理论的含义。而英国广播公司在组织的无数谈话和讨论中提供了许多机会，让我们做到这一点，许多讨论是相当好的。除了极其简单的，听听有其他科学节目，我发现作笔记是必要的。这种收听并不舒服。但是我经常得到回报，接受的和精彩的观念激发了我的思想，丰富了我对人生的看法。

所以美国人在语言方面总在不断创造新的语言。不是学校老师的的所有努力都能阻止得住这种倾向的。新的东西并不会因为它是新的而就失去什么，而是得到些东西。特别是这种新的东西适合国人对简练，生动，特别是大胆和富有想像力的情有独钟。早在殖民时代就可看到美国人把复杂的概念简化成非常简单的缩略语的特有的习惯，如O。K。，N。G。和P。
D。Q。这种极其典型的美国语可以追溯到共和国刚刚成立的时候。促成这些倾向的影响在今天还是可以看到的，因为新事物在不断出现，新的语言也就在不断被创造出来。但是，通过各种修辞手段来使词汇扩大的方法是主要的，且可以随时进行的。因而这种方法比凭空造词更为重要，别的不说，用这种方法创造的新词就要多得多。

现在大学生的学习压力相当重。除了大四，他们开始找工作了，其余的学生总是忙于学习，而不愿参加校园团体和俱乐部，不愿参加体育锻炼和其他课外活动，不愿与他们的朋友玩玩，不愿关心和学习没有关系的事。总之，他们就像一个机器人。压力大，时间少，功课多。看到同寝室里的人都上图书馆去学习，到深夜闭馆才回，而自己却去看电影，他们就会有一种内疚感。一想到白天什么事都没干，心里就感到不安，会整夜因此睡不着觉。他们学习太紧张，几乎没有时间好好品尝生活，干些其他事，成为一个全面发展的人。读大学使他们失去太多的个人幸福和健康。

不同的人对退休持不同的态度。有些人认为退休后可以好好享受晚年的生活。但真的退下来了，他们则有点失望。看到自己就要被抛到废物堆里，他们不甘认命，设法另找事干来发挥自己的于热，以继续得到收入。另一些人则对一生中这样一个重大变动早有准备。他们一生为工作操劳，现在筋疲力尽了，渴望退休后能放松拉紧的弦，好好休息。由于不再需要每天早晨去赶公共汽车了，不再要为晋级虑。就可以有足够的时间去追求童年时的梦想，如写写书、画画图、种种花、周游各地。总的来说，没有像男的一样感到可怕。

（1）世界上一些国家发生问题，从根本上来说，都是因为经济上不去，没有饭吃，没有衣穿，没有房住。工资增长被通货膨胀抵消，生活水平下降，大批人下岗和失业，长期过紧日子。如果经济发展老是停留在低速度，生活水平就很难提高。
（2）快乐教育是指强调培养学生成为德，智，体，美，劳全面发展的人。它改变了我们以往唯有高分的学生才是人才的观念。因为我们国家的建设事业不仅仅需要的是工程师和科学家，同样需要各行各业的能工巧匠。

最近在高校毕业生择业问题上出现一种倾向，这就是毕业生越来越青睐在公司。很少人愿意到研究单位。在崇尚物质的社会里，这是一个不可避免的问题。学生还没有走出校门，大公司便在竞相聘用他们，向他们提供具有诱惑力的薪水和福利待遇。另一方面，由于许多大企业，甚至包括一些政府部门往往看重接经济效益，而相对来说对长期的理论研究不感兴趣，所以科研人员不断从纯理论研究领域流向实用工业。因为在那里工作要比研究领域里好找，工资也往往高。这些情况不仅严重影响青年人的择业观，而且还影响了教育。许多教师哀叹，现在纯为了学知识而学习的人越来越少了。

徐霞客一生周游考察了十六个省，足迹几乎遍及全国。他在考察的过程中，从不盲目迷信书本上的结论，从不把权威看作是真理的唯一基础。他发现人研究的地理记载中有许多不很可靠的地方。为了进行真实细致的考察，他很少乘车坐船，几乎全靠双脚翻山越岭，长途跋涉；为了弄清大自然的真相，他总是挑选道路艰险的山区、人迹稀少的森林进行考察，发现了许多奇山秀景；他常常选择不同的时间和季节，多次重游各地名山，反复观察变换的奇景。他不仅善于观察，观察的精确、耐心、客观、而且对观察的结果锲而不舍地进行思考。

(1)当我们从全球的角度来看环境问题时，首先注意的是环境问题引起人们的各种担心。发达国家担心的是大气和水的污染，能源的紧张，城市对农村面积的不断蚕食。发展中国家最担心的是营养不良，人口增长，水源不足，缺少教育和就业机会。
(2)今天的发展不能以牺牲将来为代价。应当看到中国过去二十年的经济迅速发展带来很大的代价。我们喝的水被污染了，我们呼吸的空气被污染了。森林越来越少了。这个代价还不只是环境上的。代价还有社会风气的变坏。

当然，在成功和失败中，运气占了很大的成分。但我认为成功是没有什么决窍的。有一点我发现和我生意上的成功有很大关系，这就是我来到美国之前所接受的价值观。这些价值观和孔子宣扬的一些思想有很多相同之处。孔子的思想强调的是中庸适度。但是我尊重孔子的思想，并不是要把他的思想搬到现代社会。因为出除了适度外还有一些东西对成功是至关重要的，这就是耐心，应变，果断，信心，创新思维，社会责任，最后还有运气。重要的是，这些因素相辅相成，不可缺一。虽然它们有的是有矛盾的，如耐心和果断经常矛盾，但很难想像我的任何决定中可以离开得了它们其中一个。

有时候，在工作中重要的倒是能否处理好人际关系而不是有多大的才能。人际关系就是一种善于听取别人的意见，体察别人的需要，虚心接受批评的能力。善于处理人际关系的人敢于承认错误，敢于承担自己的责任，这是对待错误的一种成熟和负责任的态度。这就是为什么许多平平庸庸的公司雇员在大调整中保住了位置，而有才能的人反而下岗。因为他们很注意处理各方面的关系，所以八面玲珑，到处有缘。而人际关系差的人往往不能处理好批评。碰到错误，他们首先想到自己，拒不承认自己有错，或情绪低落或大发雷霆，成为有刺的人，难以相处。

精编新CET6段落翻译（汉译英）练习题答案
1.Pollution
1) Pollution is a problem because man in an increasingly populated and industrialized world is upsetting the environment in w hich he lives.2) Many scientists maintain that one of man’s greatest errors has been to equate growth with advancement. 3) Now “growth” industries are being looked on with suspicion in case their side effects damage the environment and disrupt the relationship of different forms of life.4) The growing population makes increasing demands on the world’s fixed supply of air water and land.5) This rise in population is accompanied by the desire of more and more people for a better standard of living, in an ever increasing amount of waste material to be disposed of.6) The problem has been causing increasing concern to living things and their environment.7) Many believe that man is not solving these problems quickly enough and that his selfish pursuit of possessions takes him past the point of no return before he fully appreciates the damage.
2.ntelligent Test
1) There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior referred to by the term “intelligence” than there is on how to interpret or classify them. 2) But it is generally agreed that a person of high intelligence is one who can grasp ideas readily make distinctions reason logically and make use of verbal and mathematical symbols in solving problems. 3) An intelligence test is a rough measure of a child’s capacit y for learning particularly for learning the kinds of things required in school. 4) It does not measure character social adjustment physical endurance manual skills or artistic abilities. 5) It is not supposed to-- it was not designed for such purposes. 6) To criticize it for such failure is roughly comparable to criticizing a thermometer for not measuring wind velocity. 7) Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter we must be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subject s provides a “valid” or “fair” comparison.
3.Problem with Educational System
1)There are 39 universities and colleges offering degree courses in Geography but I have never seen any good jobs for Geography graduates advertised. 2)Or am I alone in suspecting that they will return to teach Geography to another set of students who in turn will teach more Geography undergraduates?3) Only ten universities currently offer degree courses in Aeronautical Engineering which perhaps is just as well in view of the speed with which the aircraft industry has been dispensing with excess personnel. 4) On the other hand hospital casualty departments throughout the country are having to close down because of the lack of doctors. 5) The reason? University medical schools can only find places for half of those who apply. 6) It seems to me that time is ripe for the Department of Employment and the Department of Education to get together with the universities and produce a revised educational system that will make a more economic use of the wealth of talent application and industry currently being wasted on diplomas and degrees that no one wants to know about.
4.The Law of Competition
1) Under the law of competition the employer of thousands is forced into the strictest economies among which the rates paid to labor figure prominently.2) The price which society pays
for the law like the price it pays for cheap comforts and luxuries is great but the advantages of this law are also greater than its cost—for it is to this law that we owe our wonderful material development which brings improved conditions in its train.3) But whether the law be benign or not we cannot evade it; of the effect of any new substitutes for it proposed we can not be sure; and while the law may be sometimes hard for the individual it is best for the race because it insures the survival of the fittest in every department.4) We accept and welcome therefore as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves great inequality of environment; the concentration of business industrial and commercial in the hands of a few; and the law of competition between these ,as being not only beneficial but essential to the future progress of the race.
5.The American and the English
1) Of the intrinsic differences that separate American from English the chief have their roots in the obvious disparity between the environment and traditions of the American people since the seventeenth century and those of the English.2) The latter have lived under a relatively stable social order and it has impressed upon their souls their characteristic respect for what is customary and of good report.3) Until the World War brought chaos to most of their institutions their whole lives were regulated perhaps more than those of any other people save the Spaniards by a regard for precedent.4) The Americans though partly of the same blood have felt no such restrain and acquired no such habit of conformity.5) On the contrary they have plunged to the other extreme for the conditions of life in their country have put a high value upon the precisely opposite qualities of curiosity and daring and so they acquired that character of restlessness that impatience of forms that disdain of the dead hand which now broadly marks them.
6.Scientific Research
1) The differences in relative growth of various areas of scientific research have several causes.2) Some of these causes are completely reasonable results of social needs.3) Others are reasonable consequences of particular advances in science being to some extent self-accelerating.4) Some however are less reasonable processes of different growth in which preconceptions of the form scientific theory ought to take by persons in authority act to alter the growth pattern of different areas.5) This is a new problem probably not yet unavoidable; but it is a frightening trrnd.6) This trend began during the Second World War when several governments came to the conclusion that the specific demands that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannot generally be foreseen in detail.7) It is therefore generally valuable to treat the scientific establishment as a resource or machine or machine to be kept in functional order.
7.Talks on Science
1) In earliest times when the field of available knowledge was comfortably small and its advance slow the lover of learning might hope to explore the greater part of it.2) Today when it is not only driving ahead at a bewildering speed but tunneling back into wider and wider and wider areas of the past even the most dogged adventurer can not hope to explore more than a small fraction of the vast continent.3) In our listening as in our other intellectual activities we must pick and choose.4) But nobody can afford to ignore modern science.5) Its intricate processes are of course far above the heads of most of us bur we can at least grasp something of its conclusions and theories and their implications and the B.B.C. provides opportunities to do so in numerous
talks and discussions many of them of outstanding excellence.6) When listening to all but the simplest scientific programs I find it essential to take notes.7) Such listening is no easy self-indulgence.8) But often I am rewarded by new and exciting ideas which stimulate my mind and enrich my outlook on life.
8. American English
1) Thus the American on his linguistic likes to make his language as he goes along and not all the hard work of the school teacher can hold the business back.2) A novelty loses nothing by the fact that it is a novelty; it rather gains something and particularly if it meets the national fancy for the terse the vivid and above all the bold and imaginative.3) The characteristic American habit of reducing complex concepts to the starkest abbreviations was already noticeable in colonial times and such highly typical Americanisms as O. K. N. G. and P. D. Q. have been traced back to the early days of the Republic.4) Nor are the influences that shaped these tendencies invisible today for institution—making is yet going on and so is language—making.5) But of more importance than the sheer inventions if only because much more numerous are the extensions of the vocabulary both absolutely and in ready workableness by the devices of rhetoric.
9.1) College students now bear heavy academic pressure.2) You will find them—except seniors who are beginning to look for a job—always too busy in studies to join campus organizations too busy to take part in sports and other extracurricular activities too busy to share the interests of their friends and too busy to pay attention to anything that is not connected with their studies.3) In short they have become nothing but a robot.4) They are under pressure to do too much work in too little time.5) If their roommates are studying in the library until it closes at midnight while they go to a movie they will feel guilty.6) The very idea of doing nothing during the day will make them uncomfortable and sleepless all night.7) They study so hard that they have hardly had time to savor life and to pursue other interests to grow as well-rounded people.8) The pursuit of college education costs them too much personal happiness and health.
10.Only a few days after the Lunar New Year in dilapidated little railway stations throughout the countryside millions of peasants are gathering with a single purpose to get to the cities.3,4) Even since the early 1980s when the agricultural reform freed millions of farmers to seek city jobs the mass not just because of the pressure it puts on infrastructure.5) Many fear that migration on such a giant scale will lead to social strain,6) As a result they have treated the migrants as second-class citizens.6) For instance workers form the rural heartland are denied the right to settle down as permanent residents and to send their children to city schools.7) But on the other hand in booming cities and special economic zones factories and construction sites need all the labor they can get.8,9) And the government believe that if the rural masses did not get a share of and poor countryside would further widen leading to a building-up resentment that might fuel social unrest.
11.1）Attitudes towards retirement vary from person to person.2) Some people think that they will enjoy their time in retirement, 3) but when it comes they may feel a little disappointed.4) Unwilling to resign themselves to the prospect of being put on the scrap heap they try to seek alternative outlets for their energies and alternative sources of income that employment can provede.5) Others have already prepared themselves for the significant change in their lives.6)
Tired out after all exhausting life revolving around work they are anxious to relax in retirement with all the strains relieved.7) As there is no more need to rush to catch a morning bus and no more anxiety about promotion they now have enough time to fulfill an old dream such as writing painting growing flowers and traveling around.8) On the whole female workers tend to have a more favorable attitude towards retirement than male workers.9) Withdrawal from employment to complete domesticity is a far less threatening experience for a woman than for a man.
12.(1)
1) Basically the root cause for social unrest in some countries lies in their failure to boost their economy. Consequently they lack food clothing and shelter and their wage increases are offset by inflation.
With a decline in living standards widespread layoffs and unemployment people have to suffer chronic hardship.2) If economic growth remains at the low rate it is difficult for any government to raise peopl e’s living standards.
(2)
1.2)By advocating enjoyable education we mean to challenge the notion that grades are an exclusive measure of one’s talent and to aim to develop children’s total personality not just their academic ability.2) We are also value virtues physical endurance manual skills or artistic abilities.3) For China in her development needs not only engineers and scientists but talent of different kinds.
13.1) Formerly Beijing University was called Yanjing University.2,3) It was an upperclass institution whose students normally should have been political conservatives.4,5) But as the national crisis deepened when the long-standing civil war merged with Japan’s conquest in the North a wave of radicalism began to spread there.67) By 1935 Yanjing university had unexpectedly become the birthplace of student protests which touched off a nationwide anti-Japanese war.8,9) For this reason Edgar Snow an American writer came to teach in Yanjing where he spent nearly two years in touch with modern Chinese youth and their thought.10) Since then Yanjing had evolved from a missionary institution into complete Chinese control.11) And today its lakeside echoes with the chatter and laughter of a new generation of students.
14.1)A recent phenomenon in the choice of careers on the part of college graduates is the increasing trend towards big companies.2) Few are interested in research fields.3,4) This is an unavoidable problem in a materialistic society where tempting salaries and fringe benefits are offered by big companies to compete with each other to recruit students before they have completed their studies.5) On the other hand as many big enterprises and even governments tend to concentrate on immediate economic results and show comparatively little interest is long range research there is a steady shift of scientists and researchers from the pure research to the applied field where there are more jobs available with better salaries.7) All this has not only seriously influenced young people’s view on the choice of careers but on education as well.8) Many college these hers deplore that fewer and fewer students these days acquire knowledge only for its own sake.
15.1,2) The Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995 has brought Chinese
women into the world attention.3) The founding of new China in 1949 marks the beginning of the times when Chinese women can enjoy equal rights with men in all spheres in the political economic social and family life.4,5) Women in China now receive equal pay for equal work and cease to be dependent upon their husbands as they once were.6,7) Traditionally male professions are now open to wom-in many of them even rising to leadership positions.8) It is true that Chinese women have made enormous strides toward equality But the goals of equal opportunity of employment for women have not been fully realized.9,10,11) The status of women is closely linked to the economy: the last to be hired they are usually the first to be laid off when employment drops off.12) Obviously women still have a long way to go in their struggle for equality.
16.1) During his life time Xu Xiake visited 16 provinces leaving his footprints nearly everywhere across the land.2) He never blindly accepted the conclusions given by books nor did he treat authority as the sole basis for truth.3) As a result he found many inaccuracies in the travel notes on geography written by his predecessors.4,5) In order to get a detailed and truthful picture of the particular places he preferred to travel on foot instead of by cart or boat despite long distances and even ventured into mountainous areas and jungles which are rarely traveled by people and full of dangers.5,6) The payoff for his effort was his discovery of many fantastic landscapes which attracted him to return in different seasons and even different hours of the day to observe their kaleidoscopic spectacles.7) He was not only a good observer accurate patient and objective but also applied persistent thought to the observations he made.
17.1,2) Hong Kong a tiny island perched on the tip of Southern China plays a pivotal role in an increasingly globalized economy.3) Given its strategic location internationally oriented business culture and excellent communications it has become a crossroad of world trade and the nerve center of the Asia—Pacific region.4) Commercial links reach out to corporations in over 170 countries and regions.5) Its trade with the rest of Asia has increased substantially.6) Its container port is now the busiest and is undergoing further expansio n.7) Although Hong Kong’s emergence as a world financial center came in recent 20 years offshore loans account for more than half of the total loan provided by its banks.8) As the “Pearl of the Orient” returns once again to China’s palm its people see her future as brighter than ever.
18.(1)
1) When we examine environmental problems in a global context the first thing that impresses us is the variety of concerns they evode.2, 3) Whereas in the developed world the focus is on air and water pollution the energy shortage and chewing up of the rural areas by urban sprawl the concern of the developing countries will most likely center on malnutrition population growth insufficiency of water the lack of education and jobs.
(2)
Today’s progress should not come at tomorrow’s expense.2,3) It should be recognized that China’s remarkable economic growth in the last two decades has come with a huge cost: the water we drink and the air we breathe are polluted and the forest is diminishing.4) The cost is not only environmental it is also more serious in terms of the decline in public morals.
19.1) Of course there is a strong element of luck in both success and failure but it is my belief that there are no “secrets” to success.2) One thing I have discovered is that attitudes and values that I acquired in China long before came to the United States have had a great bearing on the success in my business.3) These values have much in common with some of the virtues of Confucianism the Chinese philosophy that stresses moderation.4) However although I respect the spirit of Confucianism I have not tried to adapt this ancient Chinese philosophy to modern society.5) For besides moderation other things I have found to be essential to success are patience adaptability decisiveness confidence unconventional thinking social responsibility and last luck.6) The importance of these attributes is in their interaction.7) Some of them are antithetical to others—patience will often collide with decisiveness for instance—and yet it is hard to think of any of my decisions in which they did not play a role.
20. 1) Sometimes it is interpersonal skills rather than professional skills that really counts in your career. Interpersonal skills are nothing but the ability to be good listener to be sensitive toward others’ needs to take criticism well.3) People with skill in social relations admit their mistakes and take their share of blame which is a mature and responsible way to handle an error.4) That’s why many mediocre employees survive violent corporate upheavals while people of great talent are being laid off.5) Sensitive in their dealings with others they are well liked everywhere.6) People with poor interpersonal skills have trouble taking criticism.7) When confronted with a mistake they let their ego get in the way.7) They deny responsibility and became moody or angry.7) They mark themselves as “prickly”.

（1）At a seminar on Healthy Diet held in the US, dietitians from all over the country conducted thorough discussion into the close relations between breakfast and memory. They concluded that breakfast can help enhance a whole day’s memory. As the research shows, in recalling and applying newly learned knowledge, kids without having breakfast lag apparently behind those who have had breakfast. Moreover, they are inferior to the latter both in oral expression and short-term memory.
（2）Environmental protection is a major social economic problem of common concern in today’s world as well as a major research subject in scientific and technological field.
