21、sh grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spo
22、ken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that
23、you know. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and usin
24、g the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across ,to talk to someone in English ,as quickly and as well as you can ,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense ,but it doesnt matter because the person you are spe
25、aking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears. The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive
26、language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you

However, it is a vigorous topic that attra
30、cts both popular and scientific interest. Why should the possibility of terraforming other planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if its a good idea? Mankind is getting more and more hard facts about other planets. The atmosphere of Venus has been explored;
31、robots have surveyed the surface of Mars; Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn have been studied by spacecraft. Speculations have been answered; new questions have been raised, and enough hard data is right now becoming available to allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering. In the past, pe
32、ople with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves, or buried them in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was interested. But now, a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work. For instance, NASA funded a project on transforming Mars. There
33、 are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied carefully. First, its an exciting idea of a possible future for human beings. Such thinking has a valuable role in providing options for our future directions. Secondly, the techniques of terraforming will als
34、o help contemporary technologies in weather and climate control. Thirdly, such study may assist us in detecting any possible existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI, The Search for Extraterrsstial Intelligence, 地外文明搜索) and alien (异己的) civilizations on other planets.

42、and computer use. “Is it that you become overweight because you use the Internet a lot, or is it that overweight people simply use the Internet more?” says Corneel Vandelanotte, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at Central Queensland University. Its hard to say. But one likely explanation, she adds,
43、 is that “people who use the Internet a lot also engage more in other sedentary (需要久坐的) behavior, and that is probably the main cause of their being more likely to be overweight.” Formal exercise can only partly make up for all the time you spend sitting around. “If I go running three times a week f
