23、 yourself wishing for something better in your life, remember the word “SMART”. When youve decided to take action, read the following first.S is for specific（具体的）： For example, instead of setting a goal（目标）of “I want to lose weight”, set yourself a specific goal like “I want to lose five kilograms”.
24、 If you want to climb a high mountain, start your research, set a date and train for the climbing fitness.M is for measurable（可测量的）： Dont try to “become healthy”, instead, set a goal that can be measured while carrying out an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan.

30、 success?6Well, good timing for a start. You can have a great idea which the public simply doesnt wantyet. The Italian Giovanni Caselli invented the first fax（传真）machine in the 1860s. Although the machine was excellent, his invention quickly died a commercial（商业的） death. It was not until the 1980s t
31、hat the fax became very common in every officetoo late for Giovanni Caselli.Money also helps.

32、so need to be patient（it took scientists nearly eighty years to develop a light bulb which actually worked） but not too patient.

34、dea-but if you havent got one, a walk in the country and a careful look at nature can help. The Swiss scientist, George de Mestral, had the idea for Velero（魔术贴）when he found his clothes covered in sticky seed pods after a walk in the county. During a similar walk in the French countryside some 250 y
35、ears earlier, Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur had the idea that paper could be made from wood when he found an abandoned wasps nest（蜂巢）.You also need good commercial sense. Willy Higinbotham was a scientist doing nuclear （核能的）research in the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, USA. In 1958, t
36、he public were invited to an exhibition in the Laboratory to see their work, but both parents and children were more interested in a tennis video game on the screen. Soon hundreds of people were ignoring the other exhibits to play the first ever computer game-made from a simple laboratory instrument
37、 called an “oscilloscope”. Higinbotham, however, never made money from his invention: he thought people were only interested in the game because the other exhibits were so boring!30.

41、ge island is not an island, but a collection of millions of plastic and other objects（物体）. The water movements of the Pacific Ocean bring the objects together and cause them to go around in a big circle.Charles Moore found it in 1997 and named it “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch”.Where does all the
42、plastic come from?Much of the garbage comes from everyday objects, such as shopping bags and water bottles. Some of these objects finally reach the ocean. Garbage from the western coast of North America takes about six years to reach it. objects from East Asia take about a year. Other garbage comes
43、from ships passing through the area.Is the Garbage Patch dangerous?The larger pieces of garbage are a problem for wildlife. For example, sea turtles（海龟）and seabirds often think the plastic is their food. They eat the plastic and die.In addition, the plastic stops sunlight from reaching deeper water.
44、 Without sunlight, very small sea animals die. Then, there is less food for larger fish to eat.What can we do to help stop it?Cleaning up the island isnt easy. But we can make people realize the problem. One environmentalist（环保主义者）, David de Rothschild, is sailing around the world in a boat made of
45、plastic bottles to teach people about the problem of garbage in the sea.Another idea is that we can recycle the plastic garbage. Environmental engineer Cesar Harada is 8building a robot that collects pieces of plastic. Harada hopes to use his robot in the Pacific. Harada also has a website for repor
