lar, into what makes a “go od negotiator” .One point most researchers seem to agree on is that good negotiators try to create a harmonious atmosphere at the start of a negotiation.They make an effort to establish a good rapport with their opposite member, so that there will be a willingness — on both sides — to make concessions, if this should prove necessary.Good negotiators generally wish to reach an agreement which meets the interests of both sides.They therefore tend to take a long-term view, ensuring that the agreement will improve, at least not harm, their relationship with the other party.On the other hand, a poor negotiator tends to look for immediate gains, forgetting that the real benefits of a deal may come much later.Skillful negotiators are flexible.They do not “lock themselves” into a position so that they will lose face if they have to compromise.They have a range of objectives, thus allowing themselves to make concessions, for example, “I aim to buy this machine for ￡2 000” and not “I must buy it for ￡2 000” .Poor negotiators have limited objectives, and may not even work out a “fall-back position” .Successful negotiators do not want a negotiation to break down.If problems arise, they suggest ways of resolving them.The best negotiators are persuasive, eloquent people, who select a few key arguments and repeat them.Finally, it is essential to be a good listener and to check frequently that everything has been understood by both parties.

ing.Our food also supplies heat to warm our bodies.

The main energy foods are the carbohydrates (碳水化合物).These are the sugars and starches(淀粉). Wheat and rice are rich in starch and many fruits and vegetables contain considerable amount of sugar. Sweets, honey and jam are also rich in sugar.

Like carbohydrates, fats are food that provides us with energy. Butter, margarine, certain types of fish, eggs, cooking oils and most red meats are rich in fats. Fats can be stored in various parts of the body as reserves of energy. Because fats in general are slowly digested, they satisfy hunger for long periods.

Proteins (蛋白质) are very complex substances. The body needs proteins for the growth of new cells and for the repair and replacement of old cells. Foods rich in proteins are essential to a balanced diet. Milk, some vegetables, meat, chicken, fish, cheese, grains and nuts are some foods rich in proteins.

A good diet will contain a variety of foods so that the body contains all the minerals it needs for good health.

Vitamins are necessary for the proper working of the body. If we eat a variety of foods, we can be sure of obtaining all the vitamins we need.

Water makes up about 70 per cent of the weight of the human body. The average adult needs about two liters of water daily to replace the water the body loses.

ion or decline of populations of large and well-known animals.Many animal species have become extinct since the 1700’s, among them the California grizzly bear, the dodo, and the passenger pigeon.Hundreds of other animal species are threatened.In North America, endangered species include the black-footed ferret, the California condor, the desert tortoise, and the whooping crane.

Most species in danger of extinction anywhere in the world are suffering from the intrusion (侵入) of human beings.The Asian elephant, for example, has become an endangered species due to the expansion of the human population throughout its range in southern Asia.In Africa, the African elephants are being killed off for their tusks.Monkeys and other primates throughout the world are threatened by hunting, capture for medical use, and the destruction of their habitats.And the rhinoceroses, lions, and other large mammals of the African savanna (grassy plains with scattered trees) compete for land and life with some of the most rapidly growing human populations in the world.

The loss of biological diversity is most severe, however, in the tropical rain forests.The forests of the tropics are particularly vulnerable to disturbance because the soils have a low capacity for retaining nutrients.Most of the forests’ nutrient elements are held in the tissues of plants.When loggers and farmers destroy existing plant cover, the nutrients are washed from the land into streams, and the land itself becomes less able to support life.Destruction of these forests destroys the habitat of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of species from such creatures as the howler monkey and indigo macaw, to less visible species of plants, insects, and microbes, many of which are not yet known to science.
