9、 got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admitted

A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing bu

11、t me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet and stopped him cold.” Boldness a willingness to extend yourself to the extremeis not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children

12、and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.

16、abilities.CAn absolute description of the threat hanging over the worlds mammals, reptiles, amphibians and other life forms has been published by the well-known scientific journal, Nature. A special analysis carried out by the journal indicates that an astonishing 41% of all amphibians on the planet

17、 now face extinction while 26% of mammal species and 13% of birds are similarly threatened. Many species are already critically endangered and lose to extinction, including the Sumatran elephant, Amur leopard and mountain gorilla. But also in danger of vanishing for the wild, it now appears, are ani

18、mals that are currently rated as merely being endangered. In each case, the finger of blame points directly at human activites The continuing spread of agriculture is destroying million of hectares of wild habitats(栖息地)every year, leaving animals without homes, while the introduction of newly-come s

19、pecies, often helped by humans, is also damaging native populations. At the same time, pollution and overfishing are destroying ocean ecosystems. “Habitat destruction, pollution or overfishing either skill off wild creatures and plants or keaves them badly weakened,” said Derek Tittensor, an ocean e

20、cologist at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge. “The trouble is that in coming decades, the additional threat of worsening climate change will become more and more common and could then kill off these survivors.” The problem, according to Nature, is worsened because of the huge ga

21、ps in scientists knowledge about the planets biodiversity. Evaluations of the total number of species of animals and plants alive vary from 2 million to 50 million. In addition, evaluations of current rates of species disappearances vary from 500 to 36, 000 a year. “That is the real problem we face,

22、” added Tittensor. “The scale of uncertainty is huge.” In the end, however, the data indicate that the world is heading cruelty towards a mass extinction-which is defined as one involving a loss of 75% of species or more.

Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year

26、-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2006 . While waiting at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other. “Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal.”Hannah protested. The light changed and they

27、 drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable.

29、eduled to be published next month: “The Power of Half.” Its a book that, frankly, Id be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it.
