短文改错
The other day I happen to read an eighty-word passage about details. I found it prettily good.
One who wants to achieve great success should pay attentions to details. Sometimes it is the details in that determine our success, for it has a great impact on what we’re doing. We should form the habit of being careful, so a careful person rarely overlooks details. What’s more, we should learn to keep balance of quantity and quality. When facing with lots of work, the faster we do them, the more mistakes we usually make. In that case we are possible to neglect the details. So we should remember that quality comes first, without that quantity is of no importance.
The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂). 1. According to psychologists, separateness means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.
2. It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love or “being love” means love for another person: unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs. D-love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs.
D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met. But B-love is unconditional. 3. Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person.
The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love. 4. Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love.
Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves. The immature lover would say, “I love you because I need you,” but the mature one: “ 5. ”
A．These two types are quite different from each other.
B．There are two types of love.
C．I need you because I love you.
D．Love is a way of overcoming the feeling separateness.
E．Every one of us needs love.
F．It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.
G．They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature love.
Still waiting for little green men to make contact? Don't hold your breath.
A leading astronomer has concluded there probably aren't any aliens out there – meaning we are absolutely alone in the universe.
Even though there may be tens of thousands of other distant planets similar in size to Earth, the conditions on them are likely to be too hard to support life-forms such as ET.
Dr Howard Smith, a senior astrophysicist at Harvard University, believes there is very little hope of discovering aliens and, even if we did, it would be almost impossible to make contact.
So far astronomers have discovered a total of 500 planets in distant solar systems – known as extrasolar systems – although they believe billions of others exist.
But Dr Smith points out that many of these planets are either too close to the sun or too far away, meaning their surface temperatures are so bad that they could not support life. Others have unusual orbits which cause vast temperature variations, making it impossible for water to exist – the most important thing for life.
Dr Smith said, "We have found that most other planets and solar systems are wildly different from our own. It means it is highly unlikely there are any planets with intelligent life close enough for us to make contact." But his suggestions contradict other leading scientists who have claimed aliens almost certainly exist.
Only last month Professor Stephen Hawking said the fact that there are billions of galaxies out there made it reasonable to think there were other life-forms in the universe.
Researchers from the University of London have recently suggested that aliens could be living on as many as 40,000 other planets. But Dr Smith said: "Any hope of contact has to be limited to a relatively tiny space around the Earth, reaching maybe 1,250 light years out from our planet, where aliens might be able to pick up our signals or send us their own. But communicating would still take decades or centuries."
1.By saying ＂don’t hold your breath＂, the author advised the reader not to _____.
A．keep silent B．give up C．expect so D．be afraid
2.Dr Smith concludes there probably aren’t any aliens because other planets _____.
A．are too far away from the earth
B．are different from the Earth in size
C．don’t have rich natural resources
D．don’t have a suitable living environment
3.Researchers from the University of London are mentioned to show that ______.
A．they have better explanations about aliens
B．aliens certainly exist on many planets
C．they disagree with Dr Smith’s suggestion
D．aliens can pick up signals from the earth
4.What’s the main idea of the text?
A．There must be other life forms in the universe.
B．We can communicate with aliens in decades.
C．The chances of finding aliens are slight.
D．Many other planets are quite different from the Earth.
