25、be named Helen Keller Jones. Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means bright; Beatrice means one who gives happiness; Donald means world ruler; Leonard means as brave as a lion. The earliest last names, or sumames, were taken from place names. A family with the name B

26、rook or Brooks probably lived near a brook（小溪）; someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

34、d. On the road to the harbor we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbor itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of the bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps（脊背）in the distance. On approachi

35、ng them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldnt believe itthere arent any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive. The little baby whaleactually as big as our

36、 boatwas obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools（漩涡）and waves. Shes trying to help her baby; but on the wrong side, my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat

37、 towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to

38、the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breatheand to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave

39、 with her tail and off they swam into the distance. In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.

43、ng, it can be very satisfying to say, Well, its so-and-sos fault. or I know Im late, but its not my fault; the car broke down. It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing

44、 that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overing problems. For example, if you were late because your c

45、ar broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find way

46、s of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person.

47、b well.This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those proble

48、ms as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on whose fault it is.

51、about the world? Cheer up. says science writer Matt Ridley. The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature. Ridley calls himself a rational optimistrational, because hes carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that ev

52、idence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what hes set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book. The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as grand enterprise that on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his finding

53、with hard facts gathered through years of research. Heres how he explains his views. 1）Shopping fuels invention It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access

54、to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us.

57、, where the use of fossil-fuel（化石燃料）electricity is forbidden by wellmeaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change.
