You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?

Jane Addams (1860-1935)

    Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

    Rachel Carson (1907-1964)

    If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.

    Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-present)

    When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and, in 1981,the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.

    Rosa Parks (1913-2005)

    On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil- rights movement. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in," said Parks.

    Ask any new college graduate about his immediate goals, and it is likely that he will tell you he wants a job. But it turns out that today's students are not going to be satisfied with any job. According to the latest survey, making a difference through their work is essential(必要的) to young people's happiness.

    The survey found that 72 percent of graduating college seniors believe being able to have a positive social influence through their work is essential to their happiness. Making a difference is so important to them that 45 percent say they would take a 15 percent pay cut to work at an organization that has a social or environmental influence, and 58 percent say they would take a pay cut to work for an organization whose values are the same as their own.

    Besides this, the survey found that female students are far more likely to put social influence in first place than their male classmates, echoing the results of a former study showing that female maths and science majors are more likely to say they go into those fields to make a difference.

    One reason for the emphasis(强调) on improving the world probably has to do with the culture of colleges, which encourages students to connect their studies back to real-world problems. Students are used to discussing important social issues(问题) with their friends and professors, and doing something about them in class or through volunteer activities. Once students develop those habits, they don't shut them off when graduation rolls around.

    As we "happen to be" the best creature in the world, it's our duty to look after other species(物种). Here are some points which might help to protect wildlife.

    Join organizations like Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund. They have devoted themselves to protecting the earth and its animals. Many volunteers join organizations like these and work for the environment.

     Don't buy something made from ivory(象牙) and things like this. Baby seals(海豹) are hunted for their skin, as it is used to make expensive coats. Don't buy them.

     You can write a heartfelt and logical(合理的) letter to the government stating your ideas about this problem and how it can be solved.

    Recycle(回收利用) and reuse. It will reduce the need to have more raw materials to produce something.  And wild animals' home will not be destroyed.

    Governments should create more safe zones and national parks for wild animals.  Governments should apply strict laws to stop hunting.

    Where do you go when you want to learn something? School? A friend? A tutor? These are all 1 places of learning. But it may well be that the learning you really want 2 somewhere else instead. I had the 3 of seeing this first hand on a 4.

    My daughter plays on a recreational soccer team. They did very well this season and so 5 a tournament, which normally was only for more skilled club teams. This led to some 6 experiences on Saturday as they played against teams 7 trained. Through the first two games, her 8 did not get one serious shot on goal. As a parent, I 9 seeing my daughter playing her best, 10 still defeated.

    It seemed that something clicked with the 11 between Saturday and Sunday. When they 12 for their Sunday game, they were 13 different. They had begun to integrate (融合) the kinds of play and teamwork they had 14 the day before into their 15. They played aggressively and 16 scored a goal.

    It 17 me that playing against the other team was a great 18 moment for all the girls on the team. I think it is a general principle.19 is the best teacher. The lessons they learned may not be 20 what they would have gotten in school, but are certainly more personal and meaningful, because they had to work them out on their own.
