Then,

14、there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate.

17、e to relax.D. Activities that turn ones attention away. BRonald Hoffman born in 1937 is Polish-born American organic chemist and Nobel laureate (桂冠). As a theoretical chemist, Hoffmann studied energy levels in chemical bonds during chemical reactions. He put computers to use to solve his problems an

18、d, despite the complexity of his research, was able to explain his theories and discoveries to the non-specialist. For his work he was awarded the 1981 Nobel Prize in chemistry, which he shared with Fukui Kenichi.Born in Poland, Hoffmann settled in New York City as a child and became a United States

19、 citizen. He received his undergraduate degree in premedical studies from Columbia College in 1958. He attended Harvard University, where he received his Ph.D. degree in chemical physics in 1962. He joined the faculty of Cornell University in the mid-1960s and remained there throughout his career.Ho

20、ffmann and Nobel laureate chemist Robert Burns Woodward developed rules, based on quantum mechanics, to determine how energy levels in atomic electron orbits influence how a chemical reaction takes place. These simple rules, known as the Woodward-Hoffmann rules, allowed chemists to predict reaction

21、results and was quickly accepted and put to use in a wide variety of situations.Hoffmann later turned his research to a variety of problems related to discovering the molecular structure of inorganic and organometallic compounds. Hoffmann is also known for what is called the Isolobal Analogy, which

22、is yet another discovery linking all areas of chemistry. It is useful in predicting the behavior of new molecules based on the orbit structure of the components used to form them.Aided by computers, Hoffmann was able to generate a vast amount of data to support his ideas. Unlike the scientific paper

When I left Calgary I wondered what would find, what I would learn and who I would meet. On the trip to Ottawa I was wrap

28、ped in a blanket of uncertainty and excitement. But when I first met the group of students, scientists and expedition leaders, I knew that I didnt have anything to worry about. The group was amazingly harmonious and I was soon part of a big family setting out on an amazing adventure an adventure of

29、a lifetime! When we reached the Arctic I was overwhelmed (震撼) with its vastness and beauty and my senses were repeatedly shocked and amazed. I stood on the deck of the Kapitan Khlebnikov and saw countless towering icebergs, twelve polar bears, a few rare ivory gulls (海鸥), and mountainous islands. I

30、flew over large glaciers and stood on the frozen Arctic Ocean where polar bears walk in search of seal holes, and patiently wait for a meal. I learned that polar bears are successful only one out every twenty hunting attempts, I saw a vast land that appeared untouched and original. However, I learne

31、d that the Arctic and its inhabitants are being threatened by pollution and global warming. I learned that pollutants are carried by ocean and air and have a negative effect on all Arctic inhabitants. I learned that global warming has put polar bears at risk because a warmer climate means that they have a shorter time to hunt seals on the ice. The trip was a feast for the senses. I have learned more about our environment, and particularly how alive and interesting the Arctic is and why it is so important to take care of it. The Arctic deserves to be preserved.
