When the colony discovers a new source of food, an ant doing housekeeping duty may suddenly become a forager. Or if the colonys territory size expands or contracts, patroller ants change the shape of their reconnaissance pattern to conform to the new realities. Since no one is in charge of an ant colony - including the misnamed queen, which is simply a breeder - how does each ant decide what to do?Genius only means hard-working all ones life. The man who has made up his mind to win will never say impossible .

They were driven out of the Gulf states by the fire ant and invaded California, where they have displaced most of the native ant species. One of the things Gordon is studying is how they did so. No one has ever seen an ant war involving the Argentine species and the native species, so its not clear whether they are quietly aggressive or just find ways of taking over food resources and territory.Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.Live a noble and honest life.

If the area of their territory is expanded, the frequency of contact decreases. Perhaps, Gordon thinks, each ant has a threshold for normality and adjusts its path shape depending on how often the number of encounters exceeds or falls short of that threshold.The secret of success is constancy to purpose.Between two stools one falls to the ground.You have to believe in yourself.

Do not let yourselves carried aloft; do not seat yourselves on other peoples backs and heads .This measurement is what is now termed the IQ (intelligence quotient) score and it has evolved to be used to show how a person, adult or child, performed in relation to others. The term IQ was coined by Lewis m. Terman, professor of psychology and education of Stanford University, in 1916. He had constructed an enormously influential revision of Binets test, called the Stanford-Binet test, versions of which are still given extensively.materialn.材料collisionn.碰撞；冲突 staffn.全体职员continentn.大陆 content n.满足；容量 astronaut n.宇航员beltn.腰带 gravity n.万有引力；重力questionnaire n. 调查卷soiln.泥土 versionn.译文；看法oxygenn.氧 regardv.注视 pillown.枕头 garlicn.大蒜Keep trying no matter how hard it seems. it will get easier.True mastery of any skill takes a lifetime.The first wealth is health .Where there is life, there is hope.What makes life dreary is the want of motive.rescue v.营救fosterv.培养 verticaladj.垂直的jamn.果酱hatchv.孵化 atmospheren.大气；气氛stadiumn.体育场 injurev.伤害witness n.目击者component n.成分dialoguen.对话acquire v.获得store v.贮存；商店undertake v.着手fee n.费Intelligence testing enforced political and social prejudice and their results were used to argue that Jews ought to be kept out of the United States because they were so intelligently inferior that they would pollute the racial mix.

Like a canary in a coal mine, the hypersensitive Polar Regions may well experience the full force of global warming before the rest of the planet does. However, there is a second and bigger reason to pay attention. An unexpectedly rapid warming of the Arctic could also lead directly to greater climate change elsewhere on the planet.appropriateadj.适当的thrilledadj.令人兴奋的repeatv.重述 loadn. 负担；装载 receptionn.接待woodn.木头 theftn.偷窃 chefn.厨师长 suitcase n.手提箱mental adj.精神的correspond v.相符合religiousadj.宗教的 shaden.遮光物 perfume n.香水dynastyn.朝代Sweat is the lubricant of success.A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.That man is the richest whose pleasure are the cheapest.You make the failure complete when you stop trying.If winter comes , can spring be far behind ?certificate n.证明书clinicn.诊所 privilege n.特权composition n.创作distinguishv.辨别referv.提到；关系到autonomousadj.自治的 outputn.产量；输出 revision n.修订revolutionn.革命 surgeonn.外科医生fluencyn.流利 undergroundadj.底下的amusementn.娱乐 switchn.开关Writing was first invented by the Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia before 3,000 BC. It was also independently invented in Meso-America before 600 BC and probably independently invented in China before 1,300 BC. It may have been independently invented in Egypt around 3,000 BC although given the geographical proximity between Egypt and Mesopotamia the Egyptians may have learnt writing from the Sumerians.roughadj.粗糙的 instantadj. 立即的 voyagen.航行 coastn.海岸Antarcticadj.南极的 defendv.保护 tentativeadj.试验的 channeln.海峡 technicaladj.技术的 widespread adj.分布广的 tablet n.药片accentn.口音 microwaven.微波 luggage n.行李 dentistn.牙科医生Will, work and wait are the pyramidal cornerstones for success.Success often depends upon knowing how long it will take to succeed.Think great thoughts and you will be great!Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly ever acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.Gods determine what youre going to be.districtn.地区billn.账单 helicoptern.直升机 stableadj.稳定的agendan.议事日程 command n.命令monitorn.监视器 currencyn.货币detectiven.侦探 helmetn.头盔 psychologyn.心理学poisonousadj.有害的 flight n.飞行 ashn.灰 circulatev.使循环The first written language was the Sumerian cuneiform. Writing mainly consisted of records of numbers of sheep, goats and cattle and quantites of grain. Eventually clay tablets were used as a writing surface and were marked with a reed stylus to produce the writing. Thousands of such clay tablets have been found in the Sumerian city of Uruk. The earliest Sumerian writing consists of pictures of the objects mentioned such as sheep or cattle. Eventually the pictures became more abstract and were to consist of straight lines that looked like wedgesresignv.辞职；放弃 affairn.事件 deedn.行为 ceilingn.天花板 mannern.方法 remark n.评论 mopv.擦掉 barriern.栅栏 wildlifen.野生生物caterv.提供；迎合 tissuen.组织；一套 pioneern.开拓者 drawern.抽屉vagueadj.模糊的 admission n.准许进入；承认A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it.

Here, a few caveats are needed. For a start, much of the ice in the Arctic is floating in the sea already. Archimedess principle shows that the melting of this ice will make no immediate difference to the seas level, although it would change its albedo. Second, if land ice, such as that covering Greenland, does melt in large quantities, the process will take centuries. And third, although the experts are indeed worried that global warming might cause the oceans to rise, the main way they believe this will happen is by thermal expansion of the water itself.resignv.辞职；放弃 affairn.事件 deedn.行为 ceilingn.天花板 mannern.方法 remark n.评论 mopv.擦掉 barriern.栅栏 wildlifen.野生生物caterv.提供；迎合 tissuen.组织；一套 pioneern.开拓者 drawern.抽屉vagueadj.模糊的 admission n.准许进入；承认Dont aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.It never will rain roses.When we want to have more roses we must plant trees.No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, wont make you cry.Each man is the architect of his own fate.resignv.辞职；放弃 affairn.事件 deedn.行为 ceilingn.天花板 mannern.方法 remark n.评论 mopv.擦掉 barriern.栅栏 wildlifen.野生生物caterv.提供；迎合 tissuen.组织；一套 pioneern.开拓者 drawern.抽屉vagueadj.模糊的 admission n.准许进入；承认As the ACIA researchers document, there are signs that the massive Greenland ice sheet might be melting more rapidly than was thought a few years ago. Cracks in the sheet appear to be allowing melt water to trickle to its base, explains Michael Oppenheimer, a climatologist at Princeton University who was not one of the reports authors. That water may act as a lubricant, speeding up the sheets movement into the sea.vitaladj.极重要的 leaf n.叶子 explodev.使爆炸 peacefuladj.和平的 assumptionn.假定 concentratev.专注于 bitteradj.有苦味的 analysisn.分析 identification n.鉴定 physician n.内科医生 judgmentn.判断 tobaccon.烟草 intention n.意图 addicted adj.上瘾的 apparent adj.显然的Great works are performed not by strength , but by perseverance.Dare and the world always yields.If it beats you sometimes, dare it again and again and it will succumb.I think success has no rules, but you can learn a lot from failure.All time is no time when it is past.Do you love life ?

One is that huge amounts of methane, a particularly potent greenhouse gas, are stored in the permafrost of the tundra. Although a thaw would allow forests to invade the tundra, which would tend to ameliorate any global warming that is going on (since trees capture carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas most talked about in the context of climate change), a melting of the permafrost might also lead to a lot of trapped methane being released into the atmosphere, more than offsetting the cooling effects of the new elligence n.智力coal n.煤块burdenn.重负strugglen.打斗 editorn.编辑 height n.高度aidn.帮助 Arcticadj.北极的 fueln.燃料 terminaln.终点 compulsory adj.强制性的 irrigation n. 冲洗musician n.音乐家 cuisine n. 烹饪艺术trianglen.三角形Live well, love lots, and laugh often.Dont give up and dont give in.To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.To choose time is to save time .Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.pooln.水池 offshoreadj.近海的 dioxide n.二氧化物 suite n.套间sympathyn. 同情心 millionairen.百万富翁 statusn.地位；情况 sincerelyadv.敬上 emergency n.紧急情况 pollutionn.污染 routinen.惯例 leather n.皮革sausagen.香肠 format n.格式 bamboon.竹竿And there is other evidence of warming to bolster the ACIAs case. For example, the report documents the widespread melting of glaciers and of sea ice, a trend already making life miserable for the polar bears and seals that depend on that ice. It also notes a shortening of the snow season. The most worrying finding, however, is the evidence still preliminary that the Greenland ice sheet may be melting faster than previously thought.dictationn.听写 inspire v.鼓舞 litren. 升 mineraln.矿石 grillv.烧烤spotn.斑点，地点 patentn.专利；明显的 median.媒体 preciseadj.准确的 classifyv.分类 facialadj.面孔 patternn.形式 import v.进口 satelliten.卫星 statistics n.统计学 defencen.防御 accustomed adj.惯常的flow v.流动 corrupt adj.堕落的Do not , for one repulse , give up  the purpose that you resolved to effect .There are no secrets to success.
