18、er, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.During his talk, Jack took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and

21、 and I stopped e-mail Jack.A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had this idea if I got back in touch with Jack. I e-mailed him again and again but got no response.

34、r as long as they can remember Jynne Martin and April Surgent had both dreamed of going to Antarctica.

36、anding of the continent. The mixing of science and art in Antarctica isnt new. Some of the earliest explorers brought along painters and photographers. Edward Wilson was a British painter, doctor, and bird expert who journeyed with Robert Falcon Scott on two separate Antarctic expeditions more than
37、100 years ago. Herbert Ponting was a photographer who also accompanied Scott on one of those expeditions. In hundreds of photos, Ponting captured the beauty of the continent and recorded the daily lives and heroic struggles of the explorers. Todays scientists write articles for scientific journals.
38、Unlike the early explorers journals, scientific papers can now be very difficult for non-scientists to understand. Writers in Antarctica work to explain the research to the public. Peter Rejcek is editor, writer, and photographer for the Antarctic Sun, an online magazine 8devoted to news about the U
39、.S. Antarctic Program. Rejeck began his career in the Antarctic in 2003 by spending a year at the South Pole.

40、arch to the public.

Antarctica is full of stories and wonders that are scientific, historic and personal. People such as
41、 Martin, Surgent, Rejcek, and Diane McKnight are devoted to bringing those stories to as many people as they can. “Some people are going to be scientists，some people are going to be journalists，some people are going to be artists，but we can all work together.” says Surgent, “to celebrate，this extrao

46、 people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left? 36 The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families, its assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it.37 In fact, identical twins, who share the
47、 same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that its kind of random. Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures
48、. 38 In some areas, the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand. In many religions, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example, Jesus sits at Gods right side. Gods left hand, however, is the hand of judgement. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck
49、when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. 39 A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.40 People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. People even noticed that many famou
