2、ound by comet hunters carrying out telescope searches of chosen areas of the night sky.As the movement of all comets is directed around the Sun and because these bodies brighten as they move towards the Sun,there is a greater possibility for the discovery of a new comet in the skies towards the Sun
3、rather than away from the Suns direction.This means that searches should be put on the western sky after evening light and on the eastern sky before morning light.From the astronomical point there is no time during the year which is the best for the discovery of new comets.A search can be done at an
4、y time providing there is no bright Moon.Studies done on the discovery conditions of comets discovered before show that more comets have been discovered in the morning sky than in the evening sky.Thus the smart comet hunter should make sure that morning activity receives as much as if not more atten
5、tion than evening effort.In recent times,the use of advanced CCD technology to discover objects close to the Earth will in the future greatly reduce the chances of new comets being found with small telescopes.An example of the new technology is the very successful LINEAR program operating in New Mex
6、ico.However,until a similar system is based in the southern half of the Earth there will continue to be chances for the discovery of new comets which come from the south.1.What are comet hunters advised to do?A.Look away from the Sun.B.Stay where theres bright light.C.Face the western sky in the day

9、esnt matter how you choose to live your life whatever you do,someone will judge you.With that in mind,lets talk about being judged and criticized.When I started writing,it wasnt the hurtful criticism from readers that prevented me from getting started.It was my worries about what they would think if
10、 I wrote about the things I cared about.I wrote my ideas in a private document for a year before I worked up the courage to start sharing them publicly.Usually,haters simply criticize and move on.And that means that you can safely ignore them and continue doing your thing.But that is easier said tha
11、n done because we all like to be validated.Some people like it more than others,but everyone wants to be respected and appreciated to some degree.I certainly do.I know that whenever I choose to take a risk and share my work with the world,I wonder about how the people around me will see me because o
12、f that choice.Will this help my fame? Will this hurt my fame? Should I even be worrying about my fame? Finally,I decided that it was more important to contribute something to the world than it was to protect myself from criticism.The truth about criticism is that its almost always in your head.It is
13、 natural for most people to hold onto negative criticism.According to a research paper titled “Bad Is Stronger Than Good” by Roy Baumeister and researchers at Florida State University,we are more likely to remember negative criticism than praise.Baumeister found that even happy people are more likel
14、y to remember more negative events than positive ones.In fact,Baumeister and his team say that when it comes to your brain,it takes about five positive events to make up for one negative one.4.What prevented the author from getting started on writing?A.Her own fears.B.Her lack of experience.C.People

16、 Roy Baumeisters research?A.We should try to avoid negative events.B.Criticism can bring about positive influence.C.We remember negative criticism more strongly.D.Criticism helps people know more about themselves.二、七选五I finished training as a nurse in Auckland and I was expecting to get a job in a s
17、mall hospital somewhere.But then a friend told me about Volunteer Now.Id always wanted to go to an African country and use my nursing skills to help people.And here was a chance to do that,so I decided to apply.1 I got one hospital to sponsor me and then I borrowed some money from the bank.So I went
18、 to Madagascar and joined a team of people working with a local supervisor.2By going round villages,we taught basic ways to improve hygiene (卫生) and to avoid catching diseases.For example,we gave instruction about how to avoid catching malaria (疟疾) and distributed mosquito nets to some of the homes.
19、I think we did some good.I hope so anyway.3 I was suddenly in a completely different culture,teaching people who had such a different lifestyle from my own.It made a big difference to the way I see the world.And I also made some very good friends out there,both local people and the other volunteers.
