3、d mantra of denial: It wont happen to me. Well, the truth is, at some point youll probably have to deal with at least one disaster. Thats just how it goes, and in most aspects of our lives we do something about it. We buy insurance. We stow away provisions. We even make disaster plans and run drills

4、. But for some reason, computer disaster recovery is a blind spot for many of us. It shouldnt be. Home computers contain some of our most important information, both business and personal, and making certain our data survives a disaster should be a priority. Moreover, even the smallest disaster can

5、be a serious disruption. Personal computers have become an integral part of the smooth-running household.

However, some of these smaller issues require a response thats more nuanced than wholesale backup and restoration. To deal with less-than-total disaster, your

16、tool set must be both powerful and agile. For example, when a small number of files are compromised, you may want to retrieve those files alone. Meanwhile, if just your settings are affected, youll want a simple way to roll back to your preferred setup. Yet, should your operating system fail, youll

Soon the action was over.Moving to SurviveB） In pursuing its prey， the shark demonstrated in a dramatic way the important role of movement， or locomotion， i

The methods of locomotion include crawling， hopping， slithering， flying， swimming， or walking.Humans have the added advantage of using their various

31、inventions to move about in just about any kind of environment. Automobiles， rockets， and submarines transport humans from deep oceans to as far away as the moon.However， for other animals movement came about naturally through millions of years of evolution. One of the most successful examples of an

32、imal locomotion is that of the shark. Its ability to quickly zero in on its prey has always impressed scientists. But it took a detailed study by Duke University marine biologists S. A. Wainwright， F. Vosburgh， and J. H. Hebrank to find out how the sharks did it. In their study the scientists observed sharks swimming in a tank at Marine land in Saint Augustine， Fla. Movies were taken of the sharks movements and analyzed. Studies were also made of shark skin and muscle.Skin Is the KeyC） The biologists discovered that the skin of the shark is the key to the animals high efficiency in
