4．The earth provides us with almost everything that we need to eat，sleep，work and entertain．To do all this，we use the earth's resources．Because some of us have more buying power，they end up using more resources than they usually need．At the same time，we also create a great deal of waste and pollution．So we also need to think about how much land we use to deal with that waste．Then two things happen：first，large numbers of the world's population get much less resources than they need to live； second，the earth is damaged．
The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints．They show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not．Because a few people eat up most of the earth's resources，the majority have to bear the consequences-like pollution．Th is is the ecological footprints that the earth keeps in its memory．
Some years ago，a famous expert，called William Rees，developed this idea of the ecological footprints．Today，this idea has become like a magnifying glass （放大镜）．It allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape．Once the earth goes out of shape，there is no hope for human beings．
Countries like the United States and Canada have big ecological footprints．Rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a Canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce．India has a footprint of 0.4．This means that the energy and materials consumed by an Indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce．But if we look more carefully，we will find that even within India，the footprints of the city Indian are much larger than the rural Indian．

3．Any list of the greatest thinkers in history contains the name of the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein．His theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time，space，matter，energy，and gravity．Einstein's work led to such scientific advances as the control of atomic energy，even television as a practical application of Einstein's work．In 1902 Einstein became an examiner in the Swiss patent office at Bern．In 1905，at 26，he published four of his five major research papers．The first one provided a theory explaining Brownian movement，the zig-zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension （悬浮液）．The second paper laid the foundation for the photon （光子），theory of light．In it he proposed that light is composed of separate packets of energy，called photons．A third paper contained the"special theory of relativity"which showed that time and motion are relative to the observer，if the speed of light is constant and the natural laws are the same everywhere in the universe．The fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity．Here Einstein presented his famous formula，E=mc²，known as the energy mass equivalence （等价）．In 1916，Einstein published his general theory of relativity in which he proposed that gravity is not a force，but a curve （曲线） in the space-time continuum （连续体），created by the presence of mass．
  Einstein spoke out frequently against nationalism，the rising of one nation above all others．He opposed war and violence and supported Zionism，the movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine．When the Nazis came to power in 1933，they criticized his ideas．He then moved to the United States．In 1939 Einstein learned that two German chemists had split the uranium atom．Einstein wrote to President Franklin D．Roosevelt warning him that this scientific knowledge could lead to Germany developing an atomic bomb．He suggested the United States begin its own atomic bomb research．

2．The last time I saw him was 12 years ago．Twelve years has passed，and I still remember eating pomegranates （石榴） while his thin hands combed through my hair．To this day，I still remember stories my grandfather used to tell me．As a child living in Korea，my grandfathe r was my closest friend，the man I spent every day with and depended on for back rides．We were inseparable from the moment we awoke until I fell asleep in his arms．I ate the food he prepared，and he was my pillow and storyteller．Little did we know that a day would come when his first granddaughter would leave．My father was to be stationed in the United States and time would blur （使…变模糊） our images of each other．
 On the summer of my sixteenth birthday，I would see my grandfather again．On the plane，thoughts of him ran through my mind during all 14 hours of the flight．Would he look the same？Would he be healthy？Did he still have the pictures I drew for him？Most importantly，would he remember me？I was short then and always smiling．He dressed me．Twelve years later and I was taller，had a different figure．I picked out my own outfits and had my own sense of style．I was scared he wouldn't recognize I was his granddaughter．
 I landed in the airport and rode with my aunt and cousin to my grandfather's house，where we found him pacing back and forth，awaiting my arrival．He looked the same，and as soon as I stepped out of the car and faced him，I began to cry．He ran toward me．"Tina!"My grandfather kept yelling．We met each other with open arms and he whispered，"I've been waiting for my granddaughter to come home．I missed you，my little Tina．Welcome home．"Our eyes filled with tears as we walked up the stairs，arm in arm，telling each other all the events we had missed in each other's life．He did remember．After all，I am his first granddaughter．

3．The best mistake I ever made was when I was 24 years old and a senior at New York University （NYU）．At the time，I was planning to get a law and business degree after graduation and wasn't even job hunting．
    One day，I walked into the student center looking to get a soda，but instead found a roomful of students wearing suits and ties and holding a stack of resumes （简历）．Clearly，I had accidentally walked into a job fair．I was casually dressed and had a scarf on my head because I hadn't washed my hair that morning．I tried to walk across the hall when a man stopped me with his hand reached out．"Hi，my name is Donny McKenthan．Would you like to work for IBM？"I replied，"Uh，no，thank you，I'm just getting something to drink from that machine over there．"
    I ended up having a wonderful conversation with him，but I told him there was no way he could convince me．My course was set．I went out for dinner that night with some friends．When I mentioned my story，they couldn't believe I was foolish enough to turn down interviewing with this amazing company!I went home that night，dug out his card from the garbage bin and called him back．
    After a series of successful interviews，an IBM manager called me to extend an offer，which would be followed up in a few days in writing．When I asked what the salary was，he cryptically（含糊其辞）said 18，000．Inmymind，Ithought18，000 a year was low，given what I had been earning for part-time work paying my way through NYU．So I told him I thought I should earn more，and started to negotiate．He was surprised and explained that the starting salary for all trainees was set in store．
    The next day，I received the offer in the mail．As it turned out，I misunderstood the offer---I would earn $1，8000 a month．That was a great salary，so of course，I took the job．I never did tell my manager about my mistake，but a few months later he placed me in sales because I was the only trainee who had tried to negotiate a starting!That comedy of errors ended up being a wonderful 22-year career at IBM．

20．One Saturday night，a pastor（牧师） was working late and decided to call his wife before he left for home．It was about 10：00pm，but his wife didn't answer the phone．The pastor let it ring many  （61）times （time）．He thought it was strange that she didn't answer and decided to try again in a few minutes．When he  （62）tried （try） again，she answered immediately．He asked her  （63）angrily （angry） why she hadn't answered before，and she said that it hadn't rung at their house．
The following Monday，the pastor received a call at the church office，which  （64）was （be） the phone that he'd used that Saturday night．The man that he spoke with wanted to know  （65）why he'd called on Saturday night．The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about．Then the man said，"It rang and rang，（66）but I didn't answer．"
