If you think you can't do something, then you can't do it (real).
It's that simple. And it is the saddest truth in the process of being (success). There are a variety of (hardship) you will face in your journey to wherever you are going, and there is no way of (avoid) them, which is a natural part in the process. However, the biggest challenge you will likely face is (you). You can accomplish almost anything you can dream of motivation. But you will not accomplish even your most ordinary goals if you say you can't. You will never know how hard or how easy something really is if you never give it chance. In turn, any chance is bound to (destroy) by a "can't". You might not even be aware that you are your own worst enemy, and how much you are limiting yourself simply by saying that you "can't" do and how much you can turn them into you can do.
Always remember (think) that you can do it.
Successful students are highly motivated (激励) by an inner drive to study well. They have a specific career goal in mind. So they form their own good study habits, plan ahead and stick to their study timetables on their own initiative.
If you want to be a successful student, motivate yourself and know that it is only you who are responsible for your study. There are some useful ways to improve your motivation.
⒈ You should write down your learning goals, which makes them become clear.
⒉ Imagine your success. Experience the feeling of reaching your particular goal.
⒊
⒋ Seek advice and learn from the good students in your class.
Successful students tend to study hard. They pay attention to class as well as taking notes. Outside class they find a quiet place to study, because they know that academic life comes before their social life.
Set your goals. After setting goals it is important to write them down for many reasons.
⒈ Goals that aren't written are only wishes.
⒉ It helps you make a commitment to yourself.
⒊
⒋ No one wants to regret not doing something they could have done.
Successful students manage their time well by setting up weekly timetables. They make the best use of their study time and find a quiet place to study every day. Most of the suggestions mentioned above can improve your motivation.
A. Give yourself rewards. Each time you complete a lesson, do something special for yourself.
B. It gives you a way to see your progress.
C. They make study time productive and not necessarily long.
D. You will be proud of yourself when you achieve success.
E. They know that they are responsible for their success or failure.
F. When you set your goals, make sure that your goals are specific and realistic.
G. They arrive at the classroom early and sit in the front.
Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year came from foreign land, a Chinese official in charge of desertification (荒漠化) control said on Monday. And the invasions (入侵) could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.
Since the start of last spring, the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms, of which, a dozen came from foreign land.
Situated in the centralAsia sandstorm region, one of the world's four largest sandstorm sources, China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia. The other three major sources are in Africa, North America and Australia.
The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7, 585 square kilometres annually in China, and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1, 284 square kilometres a year.
The shrinkage (收缩) forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10, 400 square kilometres and 3, 436 square kilometres late last century, respectively.
Currently, the desertification land in China makes up 2. 64 million square kilometres, accounting for 27. 46 percent of the nation's land, and its sandy land totals 1. 74 million square kilometres, accounting for 18. 1 percent of the country's total.
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by huntergatherers，small，tightly knit(联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10, 000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12, 000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6, 800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1, 000; Africa 2, 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3, 200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6, 000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a questionmark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
