The balance of nature is a very elaborate and very delicate system of checks and counterchecks. It is continually being altered as climates change, as new organisms evolve, as animals or plants permeate to new areas. But tile alterations have in the past, for the most part, been slow, whereas with the arrival of civilized man, their speed has been multiplied manifold: from the evolutionary time-scale, where change is measured by periods of ten or a hundred thousand years, they have been transferred to the human time-scale in which centuries and even decades count.
Everywhere man is altering the balance of nature. He is facilitating the spread of plants and animals into new regions, sometimes deliberately, sometimes unconsciously. He is covering huge areas with new kinds of plants, or with houses, factories, slag-heaps and other products of his civilization. He exterminates some species on a large scale, but favors the multiplication of others. In brief, he has done more in five thousand years to alter the biological aspect of the planet than has nature in five million.

人类社会的发展进入了快车道。现代都市文明的产物——抑郁症等心理或精神疾病正开始折磨着人们。心理学家和医生认为21世纪将是心理疾病高发时代。据估计,本世纪大约有3%的人需要心理治疗。大部分人的心理问题可以通过自我调整来控制。
不少学者指出,我们应该更加注意对儿童的教育,教导他们热爱他人,关心集体和社会。要培养他们更有责任心和自信心;更合群、乐于助人,更能理解和体贴他人,善于思考和培养独立解决问题的能力。因为今天的儿童比起前几代人有更多的情感问题需要应付,如紧张、孤独、焦虑和压抑。

Universities are no longer relatively empty in

move, even to the most unlikely campuses. 【M1】______
That started in a small way a few years ago with 【M2】______
student residences being used as cheap bed-and

foreign, is now turning to a money-spinner as more【M3】______
universities begin to enter the package holiday
business. Three years before most universities had to【M4】______
find ways of generating the more income after【M5】______
government spending cuts in the university sector.
Universities with suitable accommodation are letting【M6】______
it as a self-catering base for a touring holiday or, in
the more ambitious schemes such as those in Aberdeen
and Kent, building a package of visits around it.
The bargain-hunting public are responding well
with budget-priced accommodation with superb sports 【M7】______
and social facilities. Price range from the modest to【M8】______
the ridiculously cheap. Manchester University,
for instance, offers a week accommodation in a self-ca【M9】______
tering flat for $ 23 a head, half the price of one
night's bed and breakfast in a first-class city center hotel.
There are possible inconveniences in these universities,
e.g. , for couples it is the disadvantage 【M10】______

warm and genuine, everything is absolutely clean, and
facilities such as a laundry, bars and parking are all available.

Be very wary of opinions that flatter your self-esteem. Both men and women, nine times out of ten, are firmly convinced of the superior excellence of their own sex. There is abundant evidence on both sides. If you are a man, you can point out that most poets and men of science are male; If you are a woman, you can retort that so are most criminals. The question is inherently insoluble, but self-esteem conceals this from most people. We are all, whatever part of the world we come from, persuaded that our own nation is superior to all others... The only way I know of dealing with this general human conceit is to remind ourselves that man is a brief episode in the life of a small planet in a little corner of the universe, and that for what we know, other parts of the cosmos may contain beings as superior to ourselves as we are to jelly-fish.

Anyone who opens a current account at a bank
he is lending the bank money, repayment of which he 【M1】______
may demand at any time, either cash or by drawing a 【M2】______
check in favor of another person. Primarily, the bankercustomer
relationship which is of debtor and creditor— 【M3】______
which is depending on whether the customer's
simple account is in credit or is overdrawn. But, in
addition on that basically simple concept, the bank and 【M4】______
its customer owe a large number of obligations to one
and another. Many of these obligations give rise to problems 【M5】______
and complications, but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer
of goods, cannot complain that the law is loaded against him.
The bank must obey its customer's instructions, and not
those of anyone else. When, for example, a customer
first opens an account, he instructs the bank to enter its
count only in respect of checks drawn by himself. 【M6】______
He gives the bank specimens of his signature, and there
is a very firm rule that the bank has no right or obligation
to pay out a customer's money on a check on which
its customer's signature has forged. It makes no difference 【M7】______
that the signature maybe a very skillful one: the bank must 【M8】______
recognize its customer's signature. For this reason there
are no risk to the customer in the modern practice, adopted 【M9】______
by some banks, of printing the customer's name on his
check. If this facilitates forgery, this is the bank which will 【M10】______
lose, not the customer.

Identical twins possess exactly the same set of genes. Yet as they grow older,
they may begin to display subtle differences. They may start to look different,
develop different diseases or slide into different persons. 【M1】______
Women who are identical twins may differ with their fertility or 【M2】______
the age at which they reach menopause. These discrepancies
usually attributed to ill-defined differences in environment. 【M3】______
But a whole new level of explanation has been opened up by a generic survey 【M4】______
showing that identical twins, because they grow older, differ increasingly in 【M5】______
what is known as their epigenome. The term refers to natural
chemical modifications that occur in a person's genome shortly before 【M6】______
conception and that act on a gcne as a gas pedal or a brake,
marking it for higher or lower activity. 【M7】______
Identical twins have the same set of epigenetic mark on the genome 【M8】______
when they are born. But differences in the epigenome disappear 【M9】______
as the twins grow older and become greater the longer they live together, 【M10】______
say a team of researchers led by Dr. Manel Esteller of the Spanish National Cancer Center in Madrid.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine. In the spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter' s sleep. I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions; and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have the cool waters of a brook rush thought my open finger. To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug. To me the page ant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.
