I'm more than a bit sad that the weather was so bad for National Day holiday. "I did all of my homework for three days in a row..." "Well, it's about time!" The 5% across the board pay raise is really going to help us make ends meet. You don't want to talk to Big Bear right now, he's still acting up. I completely agree with Professor Smith. He's a man after my own heart. I am going to get on my trusty bike tomorrow and race against the clock to see how fast I can get to my class. Yeah, well I knew what you meant all along. I was just playing dumb to let you explain your position better. That girl is a just crazy about studying. She cracks the books at all hours. Professor Jones is a good dancer, even if he is getting along in years. She brought enough ice cream for the whole college and then some. I hope he makes it through his first year of college, he seems like such a babe in the woods. After I showed him the correct section in the text, he backed down quickly. Suzy and I had a date for the movies tonight, but she backed out at the last minute. Man, I'm glad first year chemistry is over. It was a bad trip for everybody. I told her that I was crazy about her and she didn't even bat an eye, she just kept on walking away from me. I will try to meet you in the park at 11:30, but bear in mind I have to take 3 different buses, so I could be a few minutes late. I tried to find out what she wants for her birthday, but she just kept beating around the bush. You're going to need to beef up that table to get it to hold everything.
We had no idea that he was working behind the scenes to make sure the party is a success.
Making Tom pay for dinner when he didn't even get to eat is really hitting below the belt.
That's enough work for now. Let's call it a day. I think we better let Professor Feng call the tune this time. I watched my cat carry off a whole chicken and hide it under our bed. Teaching English grammar in primary school seems like putting the cart before the horse to me. I think I'm finally starting to catch on to Chinese. I wanted to pay for our lunch, but I was sort of caught short.
All he bought her for her birthday was a pencil. What a cheapskate. I better check up on that boy and see what he's up to now.
Come on, cheer up! It's almost time for Spring Festival. We just can't make ends meet with the chicken feed they pay me here. I dare say you have a rather good idea. Let me dash off a note to my wife before we go, so she'll know when to expect me back. I've been up for 2 days without sleeping. I'm dead tired and have to hit the rack for a while. When my dad finds out I wrecked the car, I'm going to be in deep water for the rest of my life. It's nasty outside now, but we can wait for the rain to die down a little before we go out. We just have to wait for the opposition to our project to die out, then we can get the funding to do it. You want to be an English teacher? English teachers are a dime a dozen now.
Better hurry over to administration. They are dishing out the yearly bonuses.
We're just going to have to do away with free beer on Thursday nights. We can't afford it any more.
That Big Bear is a pretty down to earth guy. Down to earth and then some.

The microstructure, mechanical properties, tribological properties, and wear mechanism of C/C-SiC composites at different brake speeds were investigated. The results indicate that the composites are composed of 58wt% C, 37wt% SiC, and 5wt% Si. The density and open porosity are 2.0 g·cm–3 and 10%, respectively. The C/C-SiC brake composites exhibit good mechanical properties. The flexural strength can reach up to 160 MPa, and the impact strength can reach 2.5 kJ·m–2. The C/C-SiC brake composites show excellent tribological performances. The friction coefficient is between 0.57 and 0.67 at the brake speeds from 8 to 24 m·s?1. The brake is stable, and the wear rate is less than 2.02×10?6 cm3·J?1. These results show that the C/C-SiC brake composites are the promising candidates for advanced brake and clutch systems.

关于智力如何通过后天努力提高
关于智力如何通过后天努力提高 《科学美国人》的网站上有一篇是关于如何提高智商的文章。是作者基于自己对 自闭症儿童的治疗总结的。下面小编为你整理智商通过后天努力提高，希望能帮到你。 其中对智商的定义是“晶体智商”，即接受新知识，掌握它，并用其解决问题，或 获取后续新知识的能力。当然那必须指出的是，作者所观察到的提高也只是智力测试 分数的提高。 文中给出的5个提高智商的方法则是：Seek Novelty寻找新奇领域，Challenge urself自我挑战，think creatively创造性思考，do things the hard way不走寻常路，network社交。 简而言之就是，提高IQ的秘密 = 找事+自讨苦吃+骚扰别人。 人们所熟悉的IQ事实上只是智力的一个测量方法，并无法全面反映一个人的智力。即便如此，数据表明多数人在一生中IQ是呈整体增长趋势的。这是因为人天生是learning being，必须通过不断学习来熟悉环境、适应变化，而这种学习甚至可以是无 意识的。 晶体智力本身基于知识的，而在我们日常的语境下的智商，显然不是指“知识“的 掌握能力，而是脱离知识的一种能力，也就是所谓的流体智力。流体智力虽然在先天 性条件下变得比较稳定，但是在某些程度上是属于可训练范畴(流体智力指人们能够“独立于已有知识进行推理，解决问题的能力”。通俗的说，我们通常说人“聪明”就是 指流体智力了。再由于智商是测量流体智力的重要指标，我们也可以理解为，这项训 练任务提高了我们的“智商”。) 不过抛开这些不管，我还是主要回答一下这篇问题吧。我的答案分成两部分。 一，关于智商。 首先说到智商，就不得不提智商测试。首先，无论三大测试标准的哪一种，智商 测试都具有以下几个特点： 1，标准化考试。 2，尽量脱离纯知识性的东西。 3，逻辑得分偏重较大。 4，题目具有“一次性“原则。
英文俚语
1.Nickel的价值仅高于penny，是值五美分的硬币。Nickel通常指一种银白色的金属, 镍，五分硬币里含有镍，所以称为nickel。今天要学的习惯用语是：nickel-and-dime。
Dime是值十美分的硬币。Dime的价值虽然是nickel的两倍，但是dime也只是一枚很小的硬币，而且dime跟nickel相比是既小又薄，原因是过去曾经用比镍贵重得多的银子来铸造dime。 Nickel-and-dime既可以被当作一个动词来用，也可以作为一个形容词。我们还是通过例句来领会它的意思吧。先听一位爸爸在抱怨自己两个十多岁的子女老向父母要零花钱，数目虽然不大，但是长年累月、积少成多，也成为负担了。请注意他话里的习惯用语nickel-and-dime是个复合动词： 例句-1：Our kids Bill and Susie nickel-and-dime my wife and me to death. It's just a few dollars every time, but it never stops and after a while it adds up to so much money it makes quite a hole in our pockets. 他说：他们的孩子Bill和Susie老问他和太太来要零花钱，烦得要命。虽然每回只是几美元，但是没完没了，长此以往，就成了一大笔钱，好象他们口袋里有个窟窿似的。 这段话里的复合动词nickel-and-dime意思显然是零打碎敲地长期消耗，而花费了大笔钱财。刚才说过习惯用语nickel-and-dime也可以当形容词用。比方说，在这句话里： 例句-2：He has a little nickle-and-dime business that makes just enough money to put food on the table and pay the rent. 这句话是说一个人有个小本经营的小买卖，挣来的钱刚够饭钱和房租。 这里的nickle-and-dime描绘business，是形容词，意思就是“小本经营的”，或者“微不足道的”，相当于我们上次学到的penny-ante。 2.idgaf是什么意思呢？其实就是I don't give a fuck的缩写，意思是我才不在乎，管它呢！相当于我们平时常说的I don't care，与I don't give a shit意思相同。

2012年1月4日星期三 雌激素是新的“利他林”吗？ ——性激素能让一部分女性思维敏捷，却也让一部分迟钝 大考即将来临？无法集中注意力？尝试一点雌激素吧。 加州大学伯克利分校的神经系统科学家在最近的一项研究中报道称，女性生理周期中的荷尔蒙波动可能会如咖啡因、甲基苯丙胺或最常见的兴奋剂利他林一样影响其大脑。 近年来的研究表明，工作记忆（短期信息处理能力）是依赖于化学物质多巴胺的。事实上，像利他林这样的药物可以模仿多巴胺帮助人们集中注意力。在老鼠身上的研究显示，雌激素似乎可以诱发多巴胺的释放。但是伯克利这次的新研究是首次把认识能力和人的雌激素水平联系起来，这也就解释了为什么有些女性会在她们生理周期的不同时间点有着或好或坏的认识能力。 这只研究团队对24名健康女性进行了检测。通过基因测试，她们中有些天然多巴胺水平高，而有些天然低。不出所料，多巴胺水平低的女性对于处理复杂的工作记忆问题有困难，比如将一串五个数字反着背出来。但当测试在排卵期中进行，雌激素水平最高时（一般是月经期的10~12天后）这些女性的表现显著改善，有大约10%的进步。令人惊讶的是，多巴胺水平天然高的女性处理复杂问题的能力，却在排卵期中雌激素水平最高的时候有很明显的下降。 根据组织此次研究的Ph.D Emily Jacobs说，脑中的多巴胺是“classic Goldilacks scenario”。对于多巴胺水平最低的25%女性来说，在月经期多巴胺水平的增加会增强她们的认识能力，而对于多巴胺水平最高的25%女性来说，月经期多巴胺水平的增加可能会使她们的多巴胺水平超过一个上限，从而减弱她们的认识能力。而剩下的50%女性都处在这两类女性水平之间，不在研究的范围内。 这项研究有着重大的意义。Jacob说，像咖啡因、利他林这种诱发多巴胺释放的药物对于特定时期的女性是无效，甚至是损害性的。而且，她还希望提醒科学家们注意，在研究脑部疾病时，男女大脑虽然天赋相同但是并不完全一样。 Jacob说，这之间有很大区别，只有我们能知道他们在正常状态下的区别，我们才能预测他们在疾病状态下的区别。 毁约——脑扫描揭示誓言什么时候会不被遵守 新郎说“我愿意”而又和别人有一腿的时候，他脑中发生了什么？朋友承诺还钱却一直不还，他的脑中又发生了什么？一项最新研究显示，毁约是一项很复杂的神经生物学事件。而且脑扫描可以在毁约发生前预测出谁将要毁约。 瑞士苏黎世大学的科学家运用核磁共振技术把大脑比喻成了一场投资游戏。投资者必须决定是否承诺与受托者分享利益。如果投资，会使得账户中的资金增加，但如果受托者选择不分享，结果也会是投资者受损失。几乎所有投资者都说会把钱给受托者，但最后并不会所有人都守约。 通过核磁共振的扫描，研究者可以在他们有机会毁约前预测出他们会不会毁约。毁约者脑部的一些区域的活动会更加活跃，包括分管在压抑诚实回应时自我控制的前额皮质层，和标志

1. kick ass 了不起 A: Wow, you fixed my computer in less than 10 minutes. You’re good. A: 哇! 你不到十分钟就把我的计算机修好了呀! 你很棒! B: Yep. I just kick ass. B: 是的! 我就是厉害! “kick ass”除了字面上的「踢屁股」外，还有「厉害、打败」的意思。当「踢屁股」时，比如某人放你鸽子，你很气，就可以说: “I’m going to kick his ass.” (我得踢他的屁股)。当「厉害」用时，就像上面例句一样用。”kick ass”还可作「打败某人的意思」。比如某人一向在某方面比你强，终于有一天你比他厉害了，你就可以说:”Hahaha…I kick ed your ass.”。觉得“ass”太难听的人，就用“butt”吧! 2. kiss ass 拍马屁 A: Mary, I’m sorry for cheating on you before. Do you see any chance that we c an get back together? A: Mary, 我真的很抱歉对你不忠实。你想我们可不可能重修旧好呢? B: I don’t know, but you can kiss my ass. B: 不知道，不过你可以亲我的屁屁(巴结我)。 「亲屁屁」好象不大卫生吧! 不过人家就是这样用，就照着「亲」吧! “cheat”除了作弊外，还有「不忠实」的意思。 3. XYZ 检查你的拉链 Hey, man. XYZ. 老兄啊! 检查一下你的拉链吧。 “XYZ”是“Check your zipper.”的意思。在美国，填表选项时多用打「X」来表示(台湾则用打勾表示)。这个选项的动作就叫”Check”, 也就是这里的 XYZ 的X所代表的。Y 是 Your, Z 就是 Zipper 啰! 4. Hit the road. 上路了。 A: Do you want to come in for some tea? A: 你要不要进来喝个茶呢?

第1章英文阅读材料翻译 Mechanization and Automation Processes of mechanization have been developing and becoming more complex ever since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 18th century. The current developments of automatic processes are, however, different from the old ones. The “automation” of the 20th century is distinct from the mechanization of the 18th and 19th centuries inasmuch as mechanization was applied to individual operations, wherea s “automation” is concerned with the operation and control of a complete producing unit. And in many, though not all, instances the element of control is so great that whereas mechanization displaces muscle, “automation”displaces brain as well. The distinction between the mechanization of the past and what is happening now is, however, not a sharp one. At one extreme we have the electronic computer with its quite remarkable capacity for discrimination and control, while at the other end of the scale are “ transfer machines” , as they are now called, which may be as simple as a conveyor belt to another. An automatic mechanism is one which has a capacity for self-regulation; that is, it can regulate or control the system or process without the need for constant human attention or adjustment. Now people often talk about “feedback” as begin an essential factor of the new industrial techniques, upon which is base an automatic self-regulating system and by virtue of which any deviation in the system from desired condition can be detected, measured, reported and corrected. when “feedback” is applied to the process by which a large digital computer runs at the immense speed through a long series of sums, constantly rejecting the answers until it finds one to fit a complex set of facts which have been put to it, it is perhaps different in degree from what we have previously been accustomed to machines. But “feedback”, as such, is a familiar mechanical conception. The old-fashioned steam engine was fitted with a centrifugal governor, two balls on levers spinning round and round an upright shaft. If the steam pressure rose and the engine started to go too fast, the increased speed of the spinning governor caused it to rise up the vertical rod and shut down a valve. This cut off some of the steam and thus the engine brought itself back to its proper speed. The mechanization, which was introduced with the Industrial Revolution, because it was limited to individual processes, required the employment of human labor to control each machine as well as to load and unload materials and transfer them from one place to another. Only in a few instances were processes automatically linked together and was production organized as a continuous flow. In general, however, although modern industry has been highly mechanized ever since the 1920s, the mechanized parts have not as a rule been linked together.

科技是怎样让人变傻的
科技是怎样让人变傻的 How good software makes us stupid? 科技是怎样让人变傻的？ People assume that iPhones, laptops and Netflix are evidence of progress. In some ways, that's true. A moderate amount of Googling, for instance,can be good for your brain, and there are apps that can boost brain function and activity. Yet tech advancements also come with some unintended consequences. Our brains being "massively rewired" by tech, says neuroscientist Michael Merzenich in The Shallows: What The Internet Is Doing To Our Brains, a Pulitzer-nominated 2011
book by Nicholas Carr. Merzenich warns that the effect of technology on human intelligence could be “deadly.”That got us thinking. How exactly is technology messing up our brains? 人们认为iPhone、笔记本、和网飞公司是科技进步的证据。从某种方面来看，这是对的。比如，适度地网上搜索对你的大脑是有好处的，也有不少应用程序能够促进大脑运转,让大脑活跃起来。但是科技的进步同样伴随着一些无法预料的后果。神经系统科学家Michael Merzenich在《浅薄：互联网如何毒化了我们的大脑》中提出，我们的大脑被科技大规模的重组了，这本书是由Nicholas Carr翻译的，曾在2011年提名普利策奖。Merzenich发出警告说科技对人类智能的影响将是“致命的”。那么科技究竟是如何让我们的头脑变得一团糟的呢？ 1. Tech is screwing up your sleep (科技搞砸了你的睡眠) Studies have shown that blue-enriched light, which is emitted by gadgets like smartphones, tablets and laptops, can suppress the body's release of melatonim at night. Melatonin is a key hormone that helps regulate your internal clock, telling your body when it is nighttime and when to feel sleepy. Blue light can disrupt that process, making it impossible for you to stick to a proper sleep schedule. Losing sleep has a number of negative effects on your brain.
