when you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “they” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “they” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化) your victimization. the truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others. those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. they know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. they know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail. whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. they believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth. victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause othersand even themselvesto feel like victims, too. creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives. in reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. one person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. in every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are. 【文章大意】本文叙述了创造者和受害者的两种出事状态，以及如何把受害者转变成创造者的方法。受害者和创造者都能决定自己的生活方向，都是生活的主人。受害者是因为太沉浸在痛苦中而创造者选择那些激励自己的事物。在每种情况和环境下，你可以通过设置明确的目的充实丰富的生活选择来改变受害者的那种思想。31. what does the

human beings will move to mars. they will live there for about a year, and then will be replaced with another group of pioneers. building the base on mars will advance our knowledge of the solar system and aid in our understanding of the earth.we already know that mars resembles the earth in many aspects: general size, presence of water, length of day, range of temperatures. these resemblances have caused many people to consider a centuries-long project: to terraform mars. terraforming means altering a planets surface so that earths life forms can survive there. this concept, previously found only in science fiction is now being seriously considered by scientists.terraforming mars is theoretically simple: add nitrogen and oxygen to the atmosphere; pump water to the surface; and add the earths plants and animals in the order in which they developed on earth. but it will take at least 300 years.some people think that such a project is too huge for humans to undertake, but there are very good reasons to make the attempt. the earth now contains some 6 billion people, and no one has any idea of how many humans the earth can support. our very existence and numbers are threatening many other species. we also have had some experience with terraforming our own planet: altering the landscape, the atmosphere and the climate. currently terraforming earth has become a wiser activity as we try to control global warming, air and water pollution, and preserve some natural living places.【文章大意】本文叙述了人们把火星地球化的原因和方法。因为火星与地球之间有很多相似之处，也为了给越来越多的人在火星上找一个居住的地方，人们打算把火星地球化。火星地球化，需要给火星的大气增加氮气和氧气，给表面抽水，增加一些地球的植物和动物，来改变一下火星的表面。41what would be the best title for this passage? aterraforming
