段落翻译: Before you make up your mind about which way to go, take a hard, honest look at your motivation for starting a company. Too many people are looking to get rich, escape the corporate grind, and work shorter hours with more free time. None of those reasons is likely to lead to success. If you are focused on solving a customer problem or need, believe you can do what you do better than anyone else, dying to work long hours, wear many hates, and juggle endless responsibilities, then you have the right startup mindset. You also need certain personality traits. One of them is a willingness to work very hard all by yourself, at least for the first year or so (and possibly longer).

听力原文: You may grind your teeth at night. According to a recent survey, at least 8 to 1
0 percent of the adult population share this malady. It's called sleep bruxism. There's a waking version, too. But the origins are different and the effects are seldom as bad as during sleep.

"It's much like having a large football player standing on the tooth," says Dr. Noshir Mehta, chairman of general dentistry at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. During sleep bruxism, he explained, the upper and lower teeth may come into direct contact as much as 40 minutes per hour, and with a force of about 250 pounds. You can compare that with normal circumstances, when a person's teeth make contact for about 20 minutes a day while chewing, and with only 20 to 40 pounds of pressure.

Sleep bruxism is not a disease, but a sleep disorder, the third most common one behind sleep talking and snoring. It is more prevalent in children, and its origins may be different in adults.

"The exact causes are unknown," said Dr. Mehta. He explains that in the 1960s bruxism was thought to be the body's response to "malocclusion", or problems with how the upper and lower teeth fit together; but that theory was discredited for lack of clinical evidence.

Stress was later thought to be the cause, but this failed to explain why not everyone with sleep bruxism was stressed and not everyone with stress ground their teeth. More recent research indicates some relationship of sleep bruxism to neurochemicals, but there is still disagreement on how significant a role they play.

Whatever underlying causes science may show in time, the more immediate contributing factors for sleep bruxism are better understood. The medical literature shows that stress, smoking, alcohol, caffeine and other factors may set off or worsen the condition.

So what should a grinder do? Some people tried relaxation techniques like yoga, exercise, biofeedback and hypnotherapy. Much as these may have helped their overall health, they didn't seem to kick the football player out of their beds.

Right away, dentists suggest fitting the mouth with a mouth guard, a small plastic device with a price tag of $ 300. It covers some or all of the teeth to protect them against damage, but does not stop the grinding or clenching itself. You can also get an over-the-counter version at the drugstore for $20. However, "the over-the-counter guards are usually better than nothing," said Dr. Mehta. They protect the teeth, but may also be more likely to induce a chewing response and increase bruxism; they can also cause irreversible damage to the arrangement of the teeth, and so should be used only temporarily.

Dr. Lavigne of the Canadian Sleep Society says people who wake up with headaches or jaw pain may clench or grind their teeth, and should consult their dentist, or doctors. There, patients may be directed to try some of the techniques or others. These approaches may reduce bruxism, but since there is no known cure, only the effects can be reliably treated. In the end, mouth guards are still the best defense.

After all, if you're going to square off against a football player every night, you need padding.

Questions:

16.What is sleep bruxism?

17.Which of the following statements is true about sleep bruxism?

18.Which of the following is NOT suggested as an immediate cause of sleep bruxism?

19.The doctor suggests that the over-the-counter mouth guard can only be used occasionally. Why is it so?

20.What does the speaker mean by saying "if you're going to square off against a football player every night, you need padding"?

A.A sleep disease.

B.A sleep disorder.

听力原文: Have you ever played the game of five stones?. To play it you can use any small
pebbles which may be lying around, but, for one of your stones, you would certainly not use a Diamond worth hundreds of pounds. Yet this is what the son of a South African farmer did in the year 1866. When he picked up what he thought was a stone, he did not know that he had become the first person to find a diamond in South Africa.

A few years later, thousands of miners were at work there. They rushed from all over the world to seek their fortunes. Most of the miners dreamed of finding one of the large stones, perhaps one like the famous Cullinan Diamond, which was found in 1905 and was as big as a man's fist. This great stone was cut into several small gems, some of which can now be seen amongst the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London.

The modem world, however, has found more important uses for its diamond than the making of jewellery. They have been put to work; for diamond is the hardest mineral foud in our earth. It can cut or polish the hardest steel or grind its way through solid rock. Only a diamond is hard enough to cut another diamond, and it is not the big stones which are needed for the drills, saws and grindingwheels. Only factories now demand the diamond dust which the early miners looked upon as useless.

Yet it is a strange fact that nature makes its hardest mineral from exactly the same sub- stance as one of its softest. This soft mineral is graphite, which is very easily broken up and is used to make the "lead" in your pencil. The name "lead" should not really be used, because graphite consists of nothing but carbon—just the same as a diamond.

What was the dream of the early miners.-

A.They wanted to get as much diamond as they could.

B.They wanted to make their fortunes.

C.They wanted to find a large diamond.

D.They wanted to find the Cullian Diamond.

Preparing for Computer Disasters

Fires,power surges,and floods,they're all facts of life.We read about them in the morning paper and see them on the evening news.We sympathize with the victims and commiserate over their bad luck.We also shake our heads at the digital consequences-melted computers,system failures,destroyed data.Yet,somehow,many of us continue to live by that old mantra of denial:“It won't happen to me.”Well,the truth is,at some point you'll probably have to deal with at least one disaster.That's just how it goes,and in most aspects of our lives we do something about it.We buy insurance.We stow away provisions.We even make disaster plans and run drills.But for some reason,computer disaster recovery is a blind spot for many of us.It shouldn't be.Home computers contain some of our most important information,both business and personal,and making certain our data survives a disaster should be a priority.Moreover,even the smallest disaster can be a serious disruption.Personal computers have become an integral part of the smooth-running household. We use them to communicate, shop, and do homework, and they're even more vital to home office users. When home office computers go down, many small businesses grind to a halt. Fortunately, taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward. With a good offsite storage plan and the right tools, you can bounce back quickly and easily from minor computer disasters. And, should a major calamity strike, you can rest assured your data is safe.

Offsite Storage: Major Disasters

House fires and floods are among the most devastating causes of personal computer destruction. That's why a solid offsite backup and recovery plan is essential. Although many home users faithfully back up their hard drives, many would still lose all their data should their houses flood or burn. That's because they keep their backups in relatively close to their computers. Their backup disks might not be in the same room as their computers-tucked away in a closet or even the garage-but they're not nearly far enough away should a serious disaster strike. So, it's important to back up your system to a removable medium and to store it elsewhere.

There are many ways to approach offsite storage. It starts with choice of backup tools and storage medium. Disaster situations are stressful, and your recovery tools shouldn't add to that stress. They must be dependable and intuitive, making it easy to schedule regular backups and to retrieve files in a pinch. They must also be compatible with your choice of backup medium. Depending on your tools, you can back up to a variety of durable disk types--from CDs to Jaz drives to remote network servers. Although many of these storage media have high capacity, a backup tool with compression capabilities is a big plus, eliminating the inconvenience of multiple disks or large uploads.

Once you select your tools and a suitable medium, you need to find a remote place to store your backups. The options are endless. However, no matter where you choose, be sure the site is secure, easily accessible, and a good distance away from your home. You may also want to consider using an Internet-based backup service. More and more service providers are offering storage space on their servers, and uploading files to a remote location has become an attractive alternative to conventional offsite storage. Of course, before using one of these services, make certain you completely trust the service provider and its security methods. Whatever you do, schedule backups regularly and store them far away from your home.

Come What May: Handling the Garden Variety Computer Crisis

Not all home computer damage results from physical disaster. Many less menacing problems can also hobble your PC or destroy your information. Systems crash, kids "rearrange" data, ad

A.take steps to recover from them

B.call the computer company

C.buy insurance

D.stow away provision
