2、. Various tribes(部落) and racial groups live in Namibia, and a number of languages are spoken. When Namibia gained independence in 1990, English became the official language. Teachers were supposed to teach in English, but many lacked the language skills to do so. My job was to train the teachers. Sc

3、hools were quite bare. Some classrooms consisted merely of sticks stuck in the sand and a metal roof. Because both boys and girls shaved their heads, I learned to distinguish them by their uniforms:girls wore skirts. The students had tiring days. They walked miles to get to school, often barefoot. T

4、hey also did many daily chores. They fetched water, gathered firewood and cooked meals. Even with their mountains of work, few possessions and little opportunity, these children were joyful. I admired that. This was the first time that I had lived abroad in a different culture and with a host family

5、. Simply getting accustomed to the living conditions was a big adjustment. I had no electricity, running water, phone or Internet. However, I could end each day with a splendid African sunset. And at night,I had an unbelievable,light-pollution-free view of the entire Milky Way. I never thought I wou

There has been growth in the numbers of

9、Manx shearwaters, puffins and guillemots on Lundy Island 15 years after a conservation project to remove its rats ended. The project was launched in 2003 by the Landmark Trust, the National Trust and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds(RSPB) , and aimed to kill the rats because they were t

10、he biggest threat to the survival of the birds. A cull(选择性宰杀) costing 50,000 pounds was used to gel rid of 40,000 rats on the island when puffin numbers fell to fewer than 10 pairs. Helen Booker, Senior Conservation Officer for RSPB in South West England, said the organization is delighted with the

11、results. “This study clearly shows how quickly and positively seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators(捕食性动物), she said. Of course, we had expected major population increases when the project was launched, but the scale of this recovery was far beyond our expectations. Dean Jones, the

12、 inspector on Lundy, which is managed by the Landmark Trust, said the recovery of the seabirds was a positive, but that it is important to remain cautious. It is exciting to see this level of recovery in Manx shearwaters, one of our most important seabirds. In spring the island comes alive at night

13、with the sound of these amazing birds. The increases in puffins, guillemots and razorbills are also very encouraging for the future of seabirds on Lundy and we are maintaining our attention to ensure rats cannot return lo the island.” A recent study found that nearly 10 percent of endangered bird, m

14、ammal, amphibian and reptile species could be saved by culling invasive (侵入的)mammals such as cats and rats on 169 islands.

James Calla

18、han of Lowell High School created a spreadsheet of all the colloquial(口语的) terms his students have used along with his attempt to define them, and people on social media are having a field day. I often overhear students in the hallways or classrooms using words or slang terms in their personal conve

19、rsations, Callahan told reporters. In order to understand them better and form a relationship with them on a personal level, I started asking them what certain words meant. He even posted online a photo of a four-page document titled Callahans Generation Z Dictionary. In the left column, he typed ou

20、t vocabularies like sis and snack. In the right column, he attempts to define each vocabulary using a formal interpretation of what the students say. For example, secure(d) the bag translates loosely into money received. Some people applauded the professors interest in teenage culture. The typical t

21、eacher-student relationship involves a rigid power structure, but in my experience, Ive found that students are more engaged and perform better if I am able to reach where they are, Callahan said. Some students say Callahan pulled up the document in class so that the class could help him update the

22、definitions of bops and jams. Mr. Callahan asked if any enjoyable song is a bop and someone clarified, saying that the song has to be modem with the element of dancing, one of his students said. Mr. Callahan asked if an old song or a rock & roll piece can be a bop to which a student answered, matter

23、-of-factly :No. Thats a jam. Surprised at and excited about the fact that the dictionary went viral(广为传播的) online, Callahan said the unofficial guide to teenage language breaks up the lesson, gets the students involved and provides them with some ownership of the dictionary. Language is so flexible,

24、 and every generation creates their own vocabulary bank of slang.

27、ns”, and so on. While a bit of planning and research will serve you well when starting any project, often months later, these same people are “still thinking about it”. While there are many reasons that may stop someone from even starting a project they have in mind, fear being the most obvious, the

28、 idea of perfectionism seems to be the second most. _ There is a proverb, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” There is no such thing as the perfect plan. In fact, you spend so much time being concerned about getting everything right and perfect but it wears your initial enthusiasm down.

29、 _ Yes, you should want to be reaching for excellence, but who starts out with being excellent? Excellence will only come from trial and error. Just make a decision and start following through. Forget trying to be a perfectionist._It comes from the belief that, “anything I do that is less than perfe

30、ct is not worth doing”. This way of thinking leads to one becoming discouraged and then failed even to start your project. To start, just begin with something that is good enough, and then keep working to improve on it. Make a basic plan, take action, and then start improving the actual results. _Le

31、t go of the fear, stop thinking and start doing, and forget starting out with, “its got to be perfect.” Ill leave you with the words of an actual doer, who was not a perfect person, and all his decisions were not perfect. _“You dont have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”A. In fa

32、ct, perfectionism is an unhealthy belief.B. Ill provide you with some examples of action.C. Yet the only way to a solution is to start doing.D. However, he is an example to be followed today.E. Once you begin, its often less painful to keep working.F. Getting started on a project is not a life and death decision.G. The result is that time passes and so does the per
