Clinton has cared very much about public approval presented by polls since his early presidency, whe

27、re Bush, in a sharp contrast, proclaimed at the outset of his election that he would make all decisions on his own.Clinton is an avid reader, but his successor is not.

30、tion令人不安的是，妇女解放似乎是一种让妇女多干活的“权利”。一个获得解放的职业妇女比一个很满足的妈妈更快乐吗？如果男人喜欢工作，而女人乐于在家帮助他们分担压力，这有什么可指责的呢？我不觉得“平等”受到威胁，这只是理性的劳动分工。我相信创造和谐的家庭是妇女的责任，而成功与否并不全部取决于女性，但她们所起的作用要远大于男性。真正的问题不在于男人与女人是不是平等，而在于是什么创造了幸福生活。我们是以什么为标准确定生活是富足的、令人向往的呢？我常常问，为什么事业上的成功也常常被人们看成生活上同样是成功的呢?作为一个女人，如果我在为人妻为人母方面做的很成功，而且对自己的工作也很满意，那么我认为我的存

31、在就挺不错，并由此而感到知足。或许我们该把注意力从妇女身上移开，而去关注一下男人，男人们不能看着自己的孩子成长是很难过的。我敢说，很多丈夫若是有不太耗时的工作而能回家与孩子们玩耍，他们会更高兴。Uncomfortably，Womens liberation seems to be a more work rights。Is a liberated professional woman happier than a very contented mother?

I believe that it is womens responsibility to create a harmonious family , and does not all depend on women whether success or not, but they play a far greater role than

33、men. It is not the real problem whether men and women are equal, but is what create a happy life. By what standard, can we determine that life is rich and desirable? I often ask, why the success of career is always regarded as the same in life ? As a woman, if I am a successful wife and a successful

34、 mother, and very satisfied with my work, I will think that my existence is not bad, and will feel contented with it. Perhaps, we should give attention from women to men, men will be very sad if they cant see their children grow up. I dare say, many husbands will be more pleased, if they have less t

Yet the privatized space race has renewed my childhood dreams to reach for the stars.As a meteorologist, Ive st

I watched the balloons positione

41、 of pushing the envelope into uncharted territory.The guy who is going to do this, Felix Baumgartner, must have that same feeling, at a level I will never reach. However, it did not stop me from feeling his pain when a gust of swirling wind kicked up and twisted the partially filled balloon that wou

He hung his head low in mission control as he told Baumgartner the disappointing news: Mission aborted.The supersonic descent could happen as early as Sunday.The weather plays an important role in this mission. Starting at

44、 the ground, conditions have to be very calm - winds less than 2 mph, with no precipitation or humidity and limited cloud cover. The balloon, with capsule attached, will move through the lower level of the atmosphere (the troposphere) where our day-to-day weather lives. It will climb higher than the

45、 tip of Mount Everest (5.5 miles/8.85 kilometers), drifting even higher than the cruising altitude of commercial airliners (5.6 miles/9.17 kilometers) and into the stratosphere. As he crosses the boundary layer (called the tropopause), he can expect a lot of turbulence.The balloon will slowly drift

46、to the edge of space at 120,000 feet (22.7 miles/36.53 kilometers). Here, Fearless Felix will unclip. He will roll back the door.Then, I would assume, he will slowly step out onto something resembling an Olympic diving platform.Below, the Earth becomes the concrete bottom of a swimming pool that he

It will be like he is diving into the shallow end.Skydiver preps for the big jumpWhen he jumps, he is expected to reach the speed of sound - 690 mph (1,

48、110 kph) - in less than 40 seconds. Like hitting the top of the water, he will begin to slow as he approaches the more dense air closer to Earth. But this will not be enough to stop him completely.If he goes too fast or spins out of control, he has a stabilization parachute that can be deployed to s

Instead, he plans to deploy his 270-square-foot (25-square-meter) main chute at an altitude of around 5,000 feet (1,524 meters).In order to deploy this chute successfully, he will have to slow to 172 mph (277 kph). He will have a reserve parachute that will open
