我 能 行
         ①一个人的成功，一定要有“我能行”的成功意识和自信心。
         ②科学家对创造型人才的调查和研究表明，创造型人才的一个重要特征是不怕失败，不迷信别人，不迷信权威，他们有一种强烈的自信心。美国的心理学家曾进行过一项历时几十年的研究，他们对具有较高智力的学生进行长期的跟踪调查，发现智力、成绩相似的学生，几十年后的成就相差很大，究其原因，不是因为智力的差异，而是人格特征方面的不同。
        ③“我能行”，并不是一种狂妄。心理学研究表明，绝大多数人都能行。人们的智力相差是不大的。据心理学家测试，智力超常者和智力低下者都占很少的一部分，约占95%的人是中等智力。因此，大多数人的确有理由说“我能行”。
        ④“我能行”，还因为每个人都拥有极大的潜力。脑科学研究表明，一般人的大脑，只开发了很小的一部分。正如一棵平常的西红柿只能结20来个果实，但是日本筑波博览会上的一棵西红柿却结了13000个果实。我们每个人都是一棵这样的潜在的西红柿。尽管我们平常都只结出了20来个果实，但是，从潜在的能力上，我们每个人是能结出13000个甚至更多的“西红柿”的。因此，每个人都可以自豪地说“我能行”。
        ⑤但是，                                   。让他们学习一种新知识，负责某一方面的工作，他们总是说：“我不行，我不行。”在这种心态下，就不可能主动地学习，就不会勇敢地往自己的肩上增添压力。遇到一点困难和失败就会心灰意冷，这种失败意识阻碍着自己的努力，减少了成功的可能性。因此“我不行”是一种有害的意识。
        ⑥我们历来称颂谦谦君子，认为说“我能行”的人是狂妄之徒，这是不利于充分发挥人的潜力的，这种偏见扼杀了人们的创新精神。因此，我们应该创造一个良好的、有利于人的潜能充分发挥的社会氛围。
        ⑦只有坚信“我能行”才能走向成功。

    In the most southern part of our planet, there's a place that's covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.
    As the world's least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.
    Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is people's daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.
    Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.
Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.
    What's more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.
    Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists' passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.
