UNIT 13 Fighting Fire with Fire这个春天，吉姆·布伦纳将会带领几百个男男女女一起燃烧超过两百万英亩的佛罗里达的松树林。

看到这些树吗？嘶！他们烤焦了。

看到那些香蒲芦苇丛吗？正在咝咝地响！他们是历史遗留下来的。

那些腐烂的圆木呢？噼啪响！不见了。

布罗纳是一个纵火狂吗？实际上，他恰巧相反：他作为佛罗里达的消防管理员，布伦纳一直在跟火灾战斗。

但是为什么佛罗里达的顶级消防队员会焚烧森林呢？布伦纳是相信以火攻火的人数越来越多的土地管理者之一。

通过开始他们自己小心的控制大火——一个叫做规定火烧的练习，他们希望结束像上个夏天毁坏了五十万英亩的佛罗里达森林的森林大火灾。

布伦纳还记得说：“那是一个人间地狱。

假如我们有做更多的规定火烧，我们将可以大幅度的降低那次森林火灾的损害。

”佛罗里达不是唯一一个在最近几年因为大火儿上了头条的地方。

墨西哥，巴西以及印度尼西亚都曾经遭受过他们自己的灾难性的火灾。

我们是不是处在易燃的新时代的边缘？科学家警告说全球变暖（温室气体例如二氧化碳引起的行星加热）到2070 年可能提升地球温度5°F。

根据世界气象局的记录，在1998 年地球表面的平均温度是最高的。

一个正在逐渐变暖的行星意味着越来越低的干旱，将导致植被死亡和更有可能的越来越热。

美国森林官员是怎样对付这个紧迫的威胁的？规定火烧曾经得到火生态学家（研究火生态的科学家）的广泛认可。

他们也相信在凉爽的潮湿的天启让光亮的火燃烧可以减少失控的火的风险。

而且消防技术在1970 年代第一次试验是基于频繁的小火减少毁灭性的事件的风险的理论，就像上个夏天，当保持着生态系统良好的情况下的佛罗里达的森林火灾。

在1988 年黄石国家公园那场由闪电引发并由林业员们同意使其燃烧的大火的肆虐之后，公众情绪反对“任其燃烧”和指定式的燃烧行为。

现在，能够助燃无可控制的火苗的不断增加的森林残骸重新激发了人们在这些消防管理策略上的兴趣。

3 That notion was first given scientific support in a 1993 article in Nature, which found that college students who listened to the first movement of Mozart’s Sonata in D Major for Two Pianos performed better on a spatial reasoning test that involved mentally unfolding a piece of paper.《自然》杂志1993年的一篇文章首次给这个说法提供了科学依据，该文章指出，在一项要求在大脑里想像如何展开一页纸的空间推理测试中，听了莫扎特“D大调双钢琴奏鸣曲”第一乐章的大学生取得了更好效果。

走读生过着一种矛盾的生活，他去学校是为了能体会一种自我探}ll}索的生 活，而实际上与父母在一起是绝对无法保持“我独立的。

你也许认为我们这些人住在家中、 每天往返学校的日子很惬意。

不用等洗衣机，牙膏用完了橱拒里有新的，更重要的是，冰箱 里塞满了食物，也不用自己付款。

不仅如此，通常还有人付电话费，即使再晚，微波炉里也 还热着食物。

你会嗤之以弃—那不是大学生活，那只是永远长不大的孩子。

也许表面上看起 来我们像被惯坏了的孩子， 但事情远没有那么简单。

住在家里的大学生过着一种矛盾的生活。

跟你们一样，我们来到大学探索自我;自我探索和有机化学一样是我们所受教育的一部分。

然而，鉴于父母监督子女的本能不会减弱，我们要保持自我独立可就不容易了。

再者，家庭 的责任也在所难免。

比方说，当父母的结婚周年纪念日正好在我们期末考试的前一天，我们 该怎么办?事实上，做一个无法脱离家庭约束的学生简直与努力跟一个你不喜欢的室友相处 一样困难。

我们的问题很复杂。

在一定程度上，我们是这个社会的二等公民。

由于你不得不 开车回家或赶最后一班车， 你很难享受俱乐部、 大学生联谊会和舞会的乐趣。

同样不幸的是， 你意识到你不能参加仅有一次的商法复习课，因为它结束得太晚。

但这还不是问题的关健: 毕竟，每个人都可以随时在朋友的宿舍里借宿。

新世纪大学英语阅读教程4 U1 Part1+Part2 文章翻译Unit 1 SuccessPart 1“普通人”是如何脱颖而出的1 在大学里，吉姆似乎是个典型的快速成功的人。

他不费什么力气就取得了好成绩，他的同学都认为他是“最有可能成功的人”。

毕业后，他可以自由选择各种工作。

2 吉姆加入了一家大型保险公司的销售部，一开始干得不错。

然而，他很快进入了平稳期，并转到了一家较小的公司，在那里他也达到了平稳期。

厌倦了销售，他尝试了销售管理。

同样的模式又出现了：他很受欢迎，被认为是个可以快速成功的人，但很快就像湿爆竹一样发出了嘶嘶声。

如今，他又在为另一家公司销售保险，并想知道自己为什么没有做得更好。

3 还有约瑟夫·达瑞格。

“我一直认为自己是个普通人，”达瑞格告诉我。

“我进入了人寿保险行业，并且做得还相当不错。

侥幸地，我进入了由业内几位最大的销售人员组成的委员会。

我非常害怕。

”4 然而，当达瑞格了解到这些有成就的人之后，他意识到：“他们和我一样都不是天才。

他们只是些志存高远的普通人。

然后找到实现目标的方法。

”他还意识到：“如果其他人都能有远大的梦想，我也能。

”如今，他拥有一家价值百万美元的公司，专门为员工提供福利。

5 为什么像达瑞格这样的普通人往往比像吉姆这样的人取得的成就要多的多？为了找出答案，我采访了190多名在工作中作为一名企业顾问的男性和女性。

这次非正式调查的结果证实了西奥多·罗斯福曾说过的话：“成功的普通人不是天才。

他只是一个拥有普通品质的人，但他把这些普通品质发展到了一个超出普通程度的程度。

”6 我认为那些出类拔萃的“普通人”：7 学会自律。

“成功并不需要天赋，”丹佛波特纪念医院的首席执行官坚持说，科罗拉多州因扭转了表现不佳的医院闻名。

“你只需要一大罐胶水。

你把一些涂在椅子上，一些涂在裤子上，然后坐下来，坚持做每一个项目，直到你做到你能做到的最好。

”8 普通的成功人士总是粘在椅子上，推迟快乐，收获未来的回报。
