As nurses, we are 26 to provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral 27 any physician. We provide health teaching, assess physical as well as emotional problems, 28 patient-related services, and make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we feel that a physician’s order is inappropriate or unsafe, we have a legal 29 to question that order or refuse to carry it out.Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the profession. The emotional and 30 stress, however, that occurs due to odd working hours is a 31 reason for a lot of the career dissatisfaction. It is sometimes required that we work overtime, and that we change shifts four or five times a month. That disturbs our personal lives, 32 our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except job-related friends and activities.The quality of nursing care is 33 dramatically by these situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates, as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system. Consumers of 34 related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand changes 35 . But if trends continue as predicted, they will find that most critical hospital care will be provided by new, inexperienced, and sometimes inadequately trained nurses.PartⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section ADirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified bya letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.Millions of Americans are entering their 60s and are more concerned than ever about retirement. They know they need to save, but how much? And what exactly are they saving for—to spend more time 36 the grandkids, go traveling, or start another career? It turns out that husbands and wives may have 37 different ideas about the subject.The deepest divide is in the way spouses envisage their lifestyle in their later years. Fidelity Investments Inc. found 41 percent of the 500 couples it surveyed 38 on whether both or at least one spouse will work in retirement. Wives are generally right regarding their husbands’ retirement age, but men 39 the age their wives will be when they stop working. And husbands are slightly more 40 about their standard of living than wives are.Busy juggling (穷于应付)careers and families, most couples don’t take the time to sit down, 41 or together, and think about what they would like to do 5, 10 or 20 years from now. They2.What If Middle-Class Jobs Disappear?[A] The most recent recession in the United States began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009,according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. However, two years after the official end of the recession, few Americans would say that economic troubles are behind us. The unemployment rate, in particular, remains above 9%. Some labor market indicators, such as the proportion of long-term unemployed, are worse now than for any postwar recession.[B] There are two widely circulated narratives to explain what’s going on. The Keynesian narrativeis that there has been a major drop in aggregate demand. According to this narrative, the slump can be largely cured by using monetary and fiscal (财政地)stimulus. The main anti-Keynesian narrative is that businesses are suffering from uncertainty and over-regulation. According to this narrative, the slump can be cured by having the government commit to and follow a more hands-off approach.[C] I want to suggest a third interpretation. Without ruling out a role for aggregate demand orfor the regulatory environment, I wish to suggest that structural change is an important factor in the current rate of high unemployment. The economy is in a state of transition, in which the middle-class jobs that emerged after World WarⅡhave begun to decline. As Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee put it in a recent e-book Race Against the Machine: "The root of our problems is not that we’re in a great recession, or a great stagnation (停滞),but rather that we are in the early throes(阵痛)of a great restructuring. ’’[D] In fact, I believe the Great Depression of the 1930s can also be interpreted in part as an economictransition. The impact of the internal combustion engine(内燃机)and the small electric motor on farming and manufacturing reduced the value of uneducated laborers. Instead, by the 1950s,a middle class of largely clerical (从事文秘考必工作地)workers was the most significant partof the labor force. Between 1930 and 1950, the United States economy underwent a great transition.Demand fell for human effort such as lifting, squeezing, and hammering. Demand increased for workers who could read and follow directions. The evolutionary process eventually changed us from a nation of laborers to a nation of clerks.[E] The proportion of employment classified as "clerical workers" grew from 5.2% in 1910 to a peakof 19.3% in 1980. (However, by 2000 this proportion had edged down to 17. 4%.) Overall, workers classified as clerical workers, technical workers, managers and officials exceeded 50% of the labor force by 2000. Corresponding declines took place in the manual occupations. Workers classified as laborers, other than farm hands or miners, peaked at 11. 4% of the labor force in 1920 but were barely 6% by 1950 and less than 4% by 2000. Farmers and farm laborers fell from 33% of the labor force in 1910 to less than 15% by 1950 and only 1.2% in 2000.[F] The introduction of the tractor and improvements in the factory rapidly reduced the demand foruneducated workers. By the 1930s, a marginal farm hand could not produce enough to justify his employment. Sharecropping, never much better than a subsistence occupation, was no longer viable (可行地)。

以恒心和锲而不舍为题写一篇英语作文

以恒心和锲而不舍为题写一篇英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Unstoppable Force of PerseverancePerseverance - that unwavering determination to keep going in spite of difficulties, that resolute persistence in the face of opposition. It is a quality that separates the extraordinary from the ordinary, the success stories from the forgotten. In a world that constantly tests our mettle, perseverance is the ultimate weapon, the unstoppable force that can conquer any obstacle.As a student, I have learned the value of perseverance through countless challenges and setbacks. From the early days of grappling with the complexities of arithmetic to the more recent battles with advanced calculus, each academic hurdle has been a testament to the power of relentless effort. The path to knowledge is rarely a straight line; it twists and turns, riddled with pitfalls and roadblocks. But for those who possess the tenacity to keep pushing forward, the rewards are immeasurable.I vividly remember the struggle of learning to read and write. Those early years were a constant uphill battle, each letter andword a puzzle to be deciphered. The frustration was palpable, the temptation to give up ever-present. Yet, through the guidance of patient teachers and the unwavering support of my parents, I persisted. Each small victory, whether it was mastering a new phonics rule or correctly spelling a tricky word, fueled my determination to conquer the next challenge. And gradually, the once-daunting task of literacy became second nature, opening up a world of knowledge and imagination.As the academic demands intensified, so too did the need for perseverance. The transition to middle school brought with it a deluge of new subjects, each with its own intricacies and complexities. Math equations that once seemed simple now appeared as indecipherable hieroglyphs, while the intricacies of grammar and literature analysis felt like navigating a labyrinth without a map. Yet, through countless late nights of studying, seeking extra help from teachers, and an unwavering belief in my abilities, I persevered. Slowly but surely, the fog of confusion lifted, and the once-impenetrable concepts became clear.High school ushered in a new level of academic rigor, with Advanced Placement courses, standardized tests, and the looming specter of college applications. The pressure was immense, the workload overwhelming. Many of my peersfaltered, succumbing to the weight of expectation and the allure of easier paths. But for me, the fire of perseverance burned brighter than ever. I became a master of time management, meticulously planning my days to maximize productivity. I sought out tutors and study groups, determined to leave no stone unturned in my quest for understanding. And when the rejections from colleges inevitably arrived, I refused to be deterred, redoubling my efforts and believing in my ability to succeed.Now, as I stand on the precipice of college, I can look back with pride at the journey that has brought me here. The countless hours spent poring over textbooks, the innumerable drafts of essays and papers, the sleepless nights fueled by determination – each of these moments has forged me into a stronger, more resilient individual. Perseverance has become my guiding light, illuminating the path forward even in the darkest of times.But perseverance is not merely a tool for academic success; it is a life skill that will serve me well in any endeavor I choose to pursue. In the professional realm, the ability to persevere in the face of setbacks and obstacles is invaluable. The road to career fulfillment is rarely a straight path; it is littered with rejections,failures, and moments of doubt. Yet, those who possess the tenacity to keep going, to learn from their mistakes and adapt to changing circumstances, are the ones who ultimately triumph.Perseverance is also a key ingredient in personal growth and self-improvement. Whether it's mastering a new skill, overcoming a personal challenge, or striving towards along-term goal, the journey is seldom easy. Setbacks and roadblocks are inevitable, and it is only through perseverance that we can push past these obstacles and emerge stronger on the other side.In a world that often celebrates overnight successes and instant gratification, perseverance may seem like an antiquated concept. But the truth is, lasting achievement and fulfillment are seldom the result of luck or chance; they are the hard-won spoils of unwavering determination and a refusal to quit. As I embark on the next chapter of my life, I carry with me the lessons learned through perseverance, secure in the knowledge that no challenge is insurmountable, no dream too lofty, if I am willing to put in the work and never give up.To my fellow students, I implore you to embrace the power of perseverance. Cultivate it, nurture it, and let it guide you through the inevitable obstacles and setbacks that lie ahead. Forit is perseverance that will transform your dreams into reality, your aspirations into achievements. With perseverance as your compass, the world is yours to conquer, one determined step at a time.篇2Perseverance and Tenacity: The Keys to Unlocking SuccessAs a student, I have come to realize that perseverance and tenacity are two of the most valuable traits one can possess. In a world filled with distractions, challenges, and obstacles, it is all too easy to become disheartened and give up on our dreams and aspirations. However, those who possess the unwavering determination to push forward, even in the face of adversity, are the ones who ultimately succeed.Throughout my academic journey, I have encountered countless situations that have tested my resilience and perseverance. From the daunting task of mastering complex concepts to the seemingly endless nights spent burning the midnight oil, the path to success has been paved with hurdles that have challenged me to my core. Yet, it is in these moments of struggle that I have learned the true value of perseverance.I vividly recall the first time I encountered a subject that seemed insurmountable. Mathematics had always been a source of frustration for me, and calculus was the ultimate test of my resolve. Day after day, I would pour over the textbook, meticulously working through each problem, only to find myself stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of confusion. It would have been easy to throw in the towel, to resign myself to the notion that perhaps I was simply not cut out for such a demanding subject. However, deep within me burned a flame of determination, a refusal to accept defeat.With each failed attempt, I grew more resolute in my pursuit of understanding. I sought out additional resources, attended tutoring sessions, and even formed study groups withlike-minded peers. Slowly but surely, the fog began to lift, and the concepts that had once seemed impenetrable started to make sense. It was in that moment that I realized the true power of perseverance – by refusing to surrender, I had overcome what had once seemed an insurmountable obstacle.This lesson has served me well throughout my academic career, and it is a lesson that extends far beyond the confines of the classroom. In life, we are constantly faced with challenges that test our mettle, our ability to endure and push forward inthe face of adversity. It is those who possess the tenacity to weather the storm, to pick themselves up after each setback and continue on their chosen path, who ultimately emerge victorious.Perseverance is not merely a trait; it is a mindset, a way of approaching life's challenges with a steadfast determination and an unwavering belief in oneself. It is the understanding that success is rarely handed to us on a silver platter, but rather, it is the culmination of countless hours of hard work, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to our goals.To truly embody perseverance and tenacity is to embrace the journey, to revel in the challenges and obstacles that stand in our way. It is to view each setback not as a failure, but as an opportunity for growth, a chance to learn and adapt, to hone our skills and strengthen our resolve. It is to cultivate a mindset of resilience, a willingness to dust ourselves off after every fall and continue pressing forward, ever closer to our ultimate destination.In a world that often celebrates overnight success and instant gratification, it is easy to lose sight of the value of perseverance and tenacity. We are bombarded with stories of individuals who seemingly achieved greatness effortlessly, obscuring the countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears thatpaved the way for their triumphs. However, it is crucial to remember that true success is rarely achieved through chance or luck alone; it is the product of unwavering determination, an unyielding spirit, and a refusal to surrender in the face of adversity.As I stand on the precipice of adulthood, poised to embark on the next chapter of my life, I carry with me the lessons I have learned about the power of perseverance and tenacity. These traits have become an integral part of who I am, woven into the very fabric of my being. They serve as a constant reminder that no challenge is too great, no obstacle too insurmountable, for those who possess the unwavering determination to see their dreams through to fruition.In the years to come, I know that I will encounter countless new hurdles, each one presenting its own unique set of challenges. But armed with the knowledge that perseverance and tenacity are the keys to unlocking success, I face the future with a sense of anticipation and excitement. For it is in the crucible of adversity that we forge the strength and resilience necessary to achieve greatness, to leave an indelible mark on the world around us.To my fellow students, and indeed to anyone embarking on a journey of personal growth and self-discovery, I implore you to embrace the power of perseverance and tenacity. Cultivate these traits, nurture them, and let them guide you through the inevitable challenges that lie ahead. For it is those who possess the unwavering determination to push forward, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, who truly comprehend the meaning of success.In the end, perseverance and tenacity are not mere words; they are a way of life, a mindset that transcends any single achievement or accomplishment. They are the driving force that propels us forward, the unwavering belief that no matter how daunting the challenge, no matter how steep the climb, we possess the strength and resilience necessary to overcome. And it is through this unwavering determination that we unlock our true potential, paving the way for a future filled with boundless possibilities and limitless horizons.篇3Sure, here's an essay on "Perseverance and Determination" from a student's perspective, written in English with around 2000 words:Perseverance and Determination: The Keys to Unlocking SuccessAs a student, I've learned that perseverance and determination are two of the most crucial qualities one can possess on the journey towards achieving their goals. These traits are not just buzzwords thrown around by motivational speakers; they are the driving forces that separate those who succeed from those who fall short.Perseverance is the ability to keep going, even when the road ahead seems arduous and the obstacles appear insurmountable. It's the refusal to give up, no matter how many times you stumble or how challenging the circumstances may be. Determination, on the other hand, is the unwavering resolve to see something through to the end, no matter what it takes.During my academic journey, I've encountered numerous challenges that have tested my perseverance and determination. From grappling with complex concepts in calculus to pullingall-nighters to meet deadlines for research papers, the path to success has been paved with hurdles that I've had to overcome.I vividly remember the struggle I faced when I first encountered calculus. The concepts seemed foreign and incomprehensible, and I found myself drowning in a sea ofderivatives and integrals. It would have been easy to throw in the towel and give up, but I refused to let the challenge defeat me. Instead, I doubled down on my efforts, spending countless hours poring over textbooks, attending extra tutoring sessions, and practicing problem after problem until the concepts finally clicked.The sense of accomplishment I felt when I finally mastered calculus was indescribable. It was a testament to the power of perseverance and determination, and it taught me a valuable lesson: no challenge is too great if you're willing to put in the work and refuse to give up.Another instance where I had to call upon these qualities was during my senior year, when I was tasked with writing a comprehensive research paper on a complex topic in my field of study. The workload was daunting, and the pressure was mounting as the deadline loomed closer. I found myself succumbing to procrastination and self-doubt, questioning whether I had what it took to produce a paper worthy of a passing grade.It was in those moments of doubt that I had to dig deep and tap into my reservoir of determination. I set a strict schedule for myself, broke the project down into manageable chunks, andmethodically tackled each task with unwavering focus. Late nights and early mornings became the norm, but I refused to let the challenge overwhelm me.In the end, the countless hours of research, writing, and revising paid off. Not only did I produce a paper that I was proud of, but I also gained a newfound appreciation for the power of perseverance and determination.As I reflect on these experiences, I can't help but feel grateful for the lessons they've taught me. Perseverance and determination are not just valuable traits in the academic realm; they are essential qualities that will serve me well in every aspect of life, whether it's pursuing a career, overcoming personal challenges, or striving towards any goal I set for myself.The world is full of obstacles and setbacks, but it's how we respond to them that ultimately determines our success. Those who possess perseverance and determination are the ones who will rise above the challenges, learn from their failures, and emerge stronger and more resilient.To my fellow students and anyone striving towards their dreams, I implore you to cultivate these qualities within yourselves. Embrace the struggles and the challenges, for they are opportunities to grow and test your mettle. Refuse to give up,even when the path ahead seems impossibly difficult, and let your determination be the beacon that guides you towards your goals.Remember, success is not handed to us on a silver platter; it is earned through hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering determination to see our aspirations through to the end. Embrace these qualities, and you'll be well on your way to unlocking your full potential and achieving greatness.。

They're the ones who've already built up much internship (实习) experience while still attending university, as their majors offer a co-operative program.Co-op programs, a feature (特色) of Canadian university programs, allow academic studies to be combined with work experience. During school years, students get to network with employers, gain internship experience in relevant fields, and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.Co-op programs are available in most comprehensive universities, like the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and York University. These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors. Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the co­op program.“It's easy to understand,” said a senior education counselor. He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are well-known companies or local government organizations. Moreover, the average salary for interns is as high as $ 30,000 to $ 40,000 a year.Students can choose to work during vacations or term times freely. The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months, or four to six months for graduate students.“The programs also benefit those students who want to apply for immigration,” added the counselor.“That's because the policies of many provinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applicants.”83. What's the main characteristic of co-op programs?A. They offer a variety of jobs in different fields.B. They make academic credits easier to gain.C. Employers work with students on their studies.D. Students get work experience while at university.84. What does the example of foreign applicants indicate?A. Co-op programs are becoming more popular.B. The average salary for interns will increase.C. Co-op programs are open to all majors.D. Companies welcome foreign students.85. Which section of a website does the text probably come from?A. Business.B. Education.C. Lifestyle.D. Culture.3、College graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search. This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career path—or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search?Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a licensing exam. Successfully completing a specific major is very important to landing a job in the matching field.Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but don’t necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance or math, may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant.Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions), insurance, and customer service management, which hire new graduates from several more majors, looking for more generalized (笼统的) requirements. They may simply want to know the student has completed his or her bachelor’s degree, which proves students’ college-level math and writing, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.Hopefully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just attend classes. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. If you worked or volunteered during college and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers. You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn’t the case. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well. If you d on’t know what career choices you have, talk to your faculty or academic adviser. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!189. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Major Ups Your CareerB. Why Your College Major MattersC. How Important Your Major Is to Your JobD. Major VS Career: Which Is Right for You190. To be a customer service manager, college graduates ______.A. need to have related qualitiesB. should pass a licensing examC. are required to major in insuranceD. must have relevant experiences191. The writer thinks that ______.A. majors are closely linked to career pathsB. students of finance tend to receive higher salariesC. volunteer experiences help graduates get employedD. social work graduates have more employment opportunities192. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA. B.C.

Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift up their spirits, she started posting similar Photos on Facebook. The response Was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn't interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice, because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them, she said. “I am a lot more outgoing.”And in case you're wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they'll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up thetrees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.5.

During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till without stopping, and continued to walk.A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.The outlines were: in a commonplace (普通的) environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected situation?One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missin g?”32. Few people stopped to listen to Joshua Bell playing because ______.A. people were in a hurryB. they were not interested in musicC. it was too cold in the subwayD. the performance was not good enough33. When children stopped to look at the violinist, their parents ______.A. would give him some moneyB. would stop to enjoy the musicC. would applaud for the performanceD. would urge them to continue walking34.

Joshua Bell played in the metro station in order to ______.A. make more moneyB. practice his skills in playing musicC. made an advertisement for his concertD. find out people’s reaction under such a circumstance36.

After meeting, the boy approached my car and my daughter gave him a hug and thanked him for his generosity. She told him that she had never been to a baseball game and that she was going to take her entire family, including myself, her dad, little sister, her cousin and an aunt who has brain cancer.We all thanked one another, got in our car, and went our way. As we drove home my daughter opened the envelope. Inside it were the tickets and $100 each to buy hot dogs, pay for parking and not have any worries but a great time.My daughter has always been the giver and now she and our family are the receivers and I can not tell you how incredibly honored we feel to be on the other end.

But now, instead of raising crops, he is raising the earnings of local farmers.Faison seems at ease with life on a farm. Members of his family have been farming for many years. When his grandparents died, he and his brothers and sisters inherited their farm. He says that began the process of trying to decide what they were going to do with it.Four years ago, Faison left his job as a lawyer in Miami and returned to the family farm in Virginia.

But today, things stand differently.According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers. The single factor contributing to this change is undoubtedly the internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach a global audience, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.“In years that have gone by, the biggest stars we re recommended and trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become an idol,” a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said in a news release. “From fashion to comedy, these self-made stars document their hobbies to an adoring fan-base. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful gain fame and fortune. For every success there are a hundred others who never get off the starting block. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that are destined to remain dreams. This is why despite the popularity of vloggers, some young people chose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the internet to share their hobbies.Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. He told the career website Zippia that his job allows him to express his passion, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.185. Why do so many young Britons choose to be vloggers?A. Because being vloggers is an ideal career.B. Because vloggers can become idols easily.C. Because being vloggers is popular nowadays.D. Because vloggers are bound to be rich and famous186. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Most vloggers can achieve their dreamsB. One should realize the dreams one by one.C. Vloggers who are successful can gain fame and fortuneD. Not all the vloggers have accomplished the dreams187. The example of Israeli David Leshaw in the last paragraph serves to ______.A. call on young people not to be vloggersB. explain the popularity of vloggersC. help readers take a correct attitudeD. state the advantages of his career188. What is the author’s attitude toward being vloggers?A. ObjectiveB. CriticalC. PositiveD. Negative9、When Carly Williams was reporting on a farm in North Carolina, US, she laughed when a zebra (斑马) pushed its nose into her car.Carly, 15, is a student at Nation Ford High, South Carolina and hopes to become a television anchor (主播).

In the program, she asked teenagers what they thought of the artist’s work.“I was a little nervous. I’m going through my lines thinking, ‘No pressure’,” Carly said.She has also reported at a Coldplay concert and met Kathie Lee Gifford, an American TV host.

Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood.

动物们的成功英语

动物们的成功英语

动物们的成功英语Here is an English essay with more than 1,000 words, without a title, and without any extra punctuation marks in the body of the text.The animal kingdom is a vast and diverse realm, home to countless species that have adapted and thrived in a multitude of environments. While often overlooked, the stories of success and resilience within the animal world are truly inspiring. From the mighty lion's reign over the savanna to the industrious beaver's engineering feats, the animal kingdom is filled with examples of remarkable achievements. In this essay, we will explore the tales of success that have unfolded among our fellow creatures, and gain a deeper appreciation for the remarkable capabilities that exist in the natural world.One of the most captivating examples of animal success is the story of the African elephant. These majestic creatures have long been revered for their intelligence, strength, and unwavering family bonds. Elephants are known to possess exceptional memory and problem-solving skills, allowing them to navigate their expansive habitats with remarkable efficiency. Their ability to work together as a herd, with the older and more experienced individuals guiding the youngerones, is a testament to their social intelligence and cooperative nature. Despite facing numerous challenges, such as habitat loss and poaching, African elephants have managed to thrive and maintain their crucial role in the delicate ecosystems they inhabit.Another remarkable example of animal success can be found in the world of the humble honeybee. These industrious insects have long been celebrated for their remarkable feats of engineering and their vital role in pollinating the plants that sustain much of the earth's ecosystems. Bees are known to possess a highly sophisticated communication system, using complex dances and pheromones to coordinate the activities of their hive and ensure the efficient collection and storage of nectar. Their ability to work together as a cohesive unit, with each individual bee playing a specific role, is a testament to the power of collective effort and the importance of specialization. Despite facing numerous threats, such as disease, pesticide use, and habitat destruction, honeybees have managed to adapt and continue to play a crucial role in the maintenance of our planet's biodiversity.The story of the humpback whale is another example of remarkable animal success. These majestic creatures were once on the brink of extinction due to extensive whaling operations, but through international conservation efforts, their populations have rebounded in recent decades. Humpback whales are known for theirextraordinary songs, which they use to communicate with one another and to attract mates. Their ability to navigate the vast oceans and undertake incredible migratory journeys, often covering thousands of miles, is a testament to their resilience and adaptability. Despite the ongoing challenges they face, such as entanglement in fishing gear and the impacts of climate change, humpback whales have managed to reclaim their rightful place in the marine ecosystem, serving as a powerful symbol of the power of conservation and the resilience of nature.The story of the cheetah, the fastest land animal on Earth, is another example of remarkable animal success. These sleek and agile predators are renowned for their incredible speed and hunting prowess, which they use to chase down their prey with lightning-fast bursts of acceleration. Despite facing numerous threats, such as habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict, cheetahs have managed to adapt and thrive in the harsh environments of Africa. Their ability to conserve energy, strategize their hunting techniques, and work in coordination with their family groups is a testament to their remarkable intelligence and adaptability.The success stories of the animal kingdom extend far beyond these examples, with countless other species showcasing their own unique strengths and capabilities. From the intricate nest-building skills of the weaver bird to the impressive migratory journeys of the monarchbutterfly, the natural world is brimming with examples of remarkable achievements. These stories serve as a powerful reminder of the incredible diversity and resilience of life on our planet, and the importance of preserving and protecting the delicate balance of the ecosystems that sustain us all.In conclusion, the tales of success within the animal kingdom are a testament to the remarkable adaptability, intelligence, and resilience of our fellow creatures. Whether it is the mighty elephant, the industrious honeybee, the majestic humpback whale, or the lightning-fast cheetah, these animals have all found ways to thrive and succeed in the face of numerous challenges. By learning from and celebrating the achievements of the animal world, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the incredible diversity of life on our planet, and be inspired to play our own part in ensuring the continued success and preservation of these remarkable species.。

毕业后找工作的面临挑战英语作文

毕业后找工作的面临挑战英语作文

毕业后找工作的面临挑战英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Daunting Task of Securing Employment After GraduationAs my college days are drawing to a close, the overwhelming reality of having to find a job is setting in. For the past four years, I've been cocooned in the sheltered environment of university life – going to classes, hanging out with friends, pullingall-nighters to cram for exams. While this experience has been invaluable in shaping who I am, it has also left me largely unprepared for the harsh realities of the professional world that await me.The first and most obvious challenge I face is simply getting hired in an increasingly competitive job market. With a struggling economy and a surplus of degree-holders, landing that first job out of college is no easy feat. I've heard horror stories from recent graduates about sending out hundreds of resumes and cover letters, only to be met with radio silence orcurt rejection emails. The prospect of such an uphill battle is demoralizing, to say the least.Even if I do manage to get my foot in the door with interviews, I'm gripped by fears of being ill-equipped to impress potential employers. In the academic setting, success is primarily measured by test scores, GPA, and the ability to recite facts learned from textbooks. However, the working world seems to place more emphasis on practical experience, specialized skills, and the ability to think critically and solve real-world problems. My lack of professional experience makes me feel like I'm at a disadvantage compared to those who had internships or co-op placements during their studies.Moreover, I can't help but be intimidated by the prospect of navigating the corporate landscape as a fresh-faced newcomer. University has provided me with theoretical knowledge, but there's a whole unwritten code of conduct in the workplace that I have yet to grasp. How do I conduct myself in meetings? How do I communicate effectively with superiors and colleagues? How do I deal with office politics and potential conflicts? These are all aspects of work life that simply can't be learned from a textbook.Then there's the issue of having to relocate for a job opportunity, which is a very real possibility given the current jobmarket. While the idea of moving to a new city is exciting, it's also fraught with challenges – finding affordable housing, adapting to a new environment, being away from family and friends. The thought of having to uproot my life and start fresh somewhere else is both thrilling and terrifying.Perhaps the biggest challenge I face, however, is the overwhelming sense of uncertainty about my future. For the past few decades, I've been able to follow a relatively structured path – elementary school, middle school, high school, college. Each step had a clear goal, and once I achieved it, the next step was mapped out. Now, as I stand on the precipice of the "real world," I'm plagued by doubts and endless questions. What if I can't find a job in my desired field? What if I end up in a career I'm not passionate about? What if I make the wrong choices and end up regretting them down the line?Despite all these concerns, I know that I must press on and confront these challenges head-on. Complacency and fear of the unknown will only hold me back from reaching my full potential. It's a daunting and uncertain road ahead, but I'm determined to tackle it with resilience, optimism, and a willingness to learn and adapt.After all, life is about taking risks and stepping out of one's comfort zone. While the transition from student to professional may be fraught with obstacles, it's also an opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and the realization of my ambitions. I may stumble and face setbacks along the way, but each experience will be a valuable lesson that shapes my character and future.As I bid farewell to the familiarity of university life, I'm filled with a bittersweet mix of nostalgia and excitement for what lies ahead. The challenges are formidable, but I'm ready to embrace them and embark on this new chapter of my life's journey. With hard work, perseverance, and a positive attitude, I'm confident that I can overcome the hurdles and carve out a fulfilling and rewarding career path for myself. The road may be long and winding, but the destination is worth the struggle.篇2The Daunting Task of Finding a Job After GraduationAs I approach the end of my university journey, a new challenge looms on the horizon – the intimidating task of securing a job in the real world. The transition from the structured environment of academia to the ever-evolving landscape of the job market is a daunting one, fraught withuncertainties and obstacles that fill me with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.The first and most formidable hurdle I anticipate facing is the sheer competition in the job market. With the ever-increasing number of graduates entering the workforce each year, the competition for coveted positions has become fiercer than ever before. It's a sobering reality that for every job opening, there are countless qualified candidates vying for the same opportunity. This intense competition demands that I not only excel academically but also possess a diverse set of skills and experiences that set me apart from the crowd.Adding to the complexity of the job search is the constantly evolving nature of the job market itself. The advent of new technologies, shifting industry trends, and ever-changing employer demands have made it imperative for me to be adaptable and versatile. The skills and knowledge I have acquired during my university years may quickly become obsolete, necessitating a commitment to lifelong learning and professional development. Navigating this dynamic landscape requires a keen awareness of industry trends, a willingness to embrace change, and the ability to continuously upskill and reinvent myself.Another significant challenge I anticipate facing is the transition from the structured academic environment to the professional world. University has provided me with a comfortable routine and a support system that has guided my learning and personal growth. However, the workplace operates under different rules and expectations, and the adjustment to this new reality can be overwhelming. I must be prepared to adapt to a corporate culture, navigate office politics, and develop the resilience to handle the pressures and demands of a full-time job.Furthermore, the job search process itself can be a grueling and emotionally draining experience. Writing countless resumes and cover letters, attending interviews, and potentially facing rejection can take a toll on one's confidence and motivation. It is crucial for me to develop a thick skin and maintain a positive mindset throughout this process, as perseverance and resilience are key to ultimately securing the right opportunity.Networking and building professional connections also present a significant challenge for many fresh graduates like myself. While the importance of networking has been emphasized time and time again, putting it into practice can be intimidating. Stepping out of my comfort zone, attendingindustry events, and actively seeking out mentors and professionals in my field of interest require confidence and strong interpersonal skills – skills that may not have been fully developed during my academic years.Despite these challenges, I remain optimistic and determined to overcome them. I recognize that the path to securing a fulfilling career may not be a linear one, and I must be prepared to embrace detours and unexpected opportunities along the way. Remaining open-minded, adaptable, and persistent will be key to navigating this phase of my life successfully.To better equip myself for the challenges ahead, I have been actively seeking out internships and volunteering opportunities to gain practical experience and build my professional network. Additionally, I have been working closely with my university's career services to refine my job search strategies, polish my resume and cover letters, and prepare for interviews.While the road ahead is undoubtedly challenging, I am comforted by the knowledge that countless graduates before me have successfully navigated this transition. With hard work, determination, and a willingness to learn and adapt, I amconfident that I too can overcome these obstacles and secure a fulfilling career that aligns with my passions and aspirations.The journey from graduation to securing a job may be a arduous one, but it is a necessary rite of passage that will shape my personal and professional growth. By embracing the challenges head-on, I will emerge as a more resilient, adaptable, and well-rounded individual, better prepared to thrive in the ever-changing landscape of the modern workforce.篇3The Daunting Challenge of Landing that First Job After CollegeAs I approach the end of my college journey, a new and daunting challenge looms before me – finding my first real job in the professional world. For the past four years, my primary focus has been on academics, extracurriculars, and frankly, just surviving the roller coaster ride of university life. But now, the stakes feel higher than ever as I prepare to take thatnerve-wracking step into the job market.The pressure to secure employment after graduation is immense. It's not just about financial independence or putting that hard-earned degree to use; it's about proving to myself andthe world that I'm capable of thriving in the real world. The transition from student to professional is a rite of passage that fills me with equal parts excitement and trepidation.One of the biggest challenges I face is the sheer competition in today's job market. With each passing year, the pool of qualified candidates seems to grow larger, making it increasingly difficult to stand out from the crowd. Employers can afford to be incredibly selective, and even entry-level positions require a wealth of experience, skills, and accomplishments that can be challenging for a fresh graduate to possess.Crafting the perfect resume and cover letter is an art form in itself. How do I effectively convey my capabilities, achievements, and potential in just a few pages? How can I make my application shine amidst hundreds, if not thousands, of others? It's a delicate balance between selling myself and avoiding the dreaded perception of overconfidence or arrogance.Then there's the interview process – a true test of nerves and quick thinking. Anticipating and preparing for the myriad of potential questions, from behavioral to technical, is a daunting task. How can I convince the interviewer that I'm the ideal candidate when my real-world experience is limited? How do Iproject confidence and poise when my palms are sweating, and my heart is racing?Beyond the technical aspects of the job search, there's also the emotional toll it can take. Rejection is an inevitable part of the process, but that doesn't make it any easier to swallow. Each time I receive a polite but impersonal rejection email or don't hear back at all, it chips away at my self-confidence and determination. It's a constant battle to remain motivated and resilient in the face of disappointment.Furthermore, the pressure to find not just any job, but the right job, can be overwhelming. As a fresh graduate, I'm often torn between accepting an opportunity that may not be my dream role or holding out for the perfect fit. Do I settle for something that pays the bills, or do I risk prolonging my job search in hopes of finding that elusive, fulfilling career path?Adding to the complexity is the ever-changing nature of the job market itself. The skills and qualifications that were in demand just a few years ago may now be obsolete, thanks to rapid technological advancements and shifting industry trends. Staying ahead of the curve and adapting to these changes is a constant challenge, especially for someone just starting out in their career.Despite these formidable obstacles, I remain determined to forge ahead and conquer this next chapter of my life. I draw strength from the knowledge that countless others before me have successfully navigated this treacherous terrain and emerged victorious on the other side.I remind myself that the challenges I face are not unique; they are a shared experience among graduates worldwide. By networking, seeking mentorship, and learning from the experiences of those who have gone before me, I can gain valuable insights and strategies for navigating the job search process.Moreover, I've come to realize that the challenges themselves are not necessarily obstacles, but rather opportunities for personal growth and resilience. Each rejection, each nerve-wracking interview, and each setback serves as a valuable lesson in perseverance, adaptability, and self-belief.As daunting as the prospect of finding that first job may be, I remain hopeful and optimistic. I have faith in my abilities, my education, and my determination to succeed. The challenges I face are not insurmountable; they are simply hurdles to be cleared on the path to a fulfilling and rewarding career.So, as I don the cap and gown and receive my hard-earned diploma, I embrace the challenges that lie ahead. Armed with the knowledge, skills, and experiences I've gained throughout my academic journey, I am ready to embark on this new and exciting chapter of my life. The road may be long and winding, but with unwavering determination and a positive mindset, I am confident that I will emerge triumphant, securing that elusive first job and paving the way for a successful and rewarding professional future.。

中国成功人物事件英语作文

中国成功人物事件英语作文

中国成功人物事件英语作文Here is an English essay with more than 1000 words on the topic of successful people and events in China. The title is not included in the word count, and there are no extra punctuation marks in the main body of the text.China has long been a land of rich history, vibrant culture, and remarkable achievements. Among the many success stories that have emerged from this ancient civilization, several individuals and events stand out as shining examples of what can be accomplished through determination, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to progress. In this essay, we will explore the lives and legacies of some of China's most celebrated success stories.One of the most renowned figures in Chinese history is Confucius, a philosopher and teacher whose teachings have had a profound and lasting impact on the country's cultural and social fabric. Born in the 6th century BCE, Confucius dedicated his life to promoting the virtues of benevolence, righteousness, and social harmony. Through his teachings, he emphasized the importance of education, filial piety, and the cultivation of moral character. His ideas were widely embraced by the Chinese elite and became the foundation of a socialand political system that endured for centuries.Another shining example of Chinese success is the story of the Forbidden City, the imperial palace that served as the center of political power in China for nearly 500 years. Constructed in the early 15th century, the Forbidden City is a stunning architectural masterpiece that showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Chinese people. With its intricate designs, ornate decorations, and vast scale, the Forbidden City stands as a testament to the Chinese people's ability to create works of unparalleled beauty and grandeur.In more recent history, the story of China's economic transformation is a remarkable success story in its own right. Beginning in the late 1970s, China embarked on a series of economic reforms that would ultimately transform it into the world's second-largest economy. Under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, China embraced market-oriented policies and opened its doors to foreign investment, leading to a period of rapid industrialization and economic growth. Today, China is a global economic powerhouse, with a thriving middle class and a reputation for innovation and technological advancement.One individual who has played a pivotal role in China's economic success is Jack Ma, the co-founder and former executive chairman of Alibaba Group. Ma's journey from a humble English teacher to one of the wealthiest and most influential entrepreneurs in the world is atestament to the power of vision, hard work, and perseverance. Through his leadership, Alibaba has become a global e-commerce giant, revolutionizing the way people shop and do business. Ma's success has also inspired a new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs to pursue their own dreams and contribute to the country's continued economic growth.Another success story that has captured the world's attention is the rise of China's tech industry. Companies like Huawei, Tencent, and ByteDance have become global leaders in their respective fields, showcasing the ingenuity and innovation of Chinese tech talent. These companies have not only transformed the domestic market but have also become major players on the global stage, challenging the dominance of established tech giants from the West.Beyond the realms of business and economics, China has also made remarkable strides in the fields of science and technology. The country's space program, for example, has been a source of great national pride and achievement. In 2003, China became the third country to independently launch a human into space, and since then, it has continued to push the boundaries of space exploration, with ambitious plans to establish a permanent presence on the Moon and Mars.Similarly, China's advancements in fields like artificial intelligence,renewable energy, and high-speed rail have captured the world's attention. The country's investment in these cutting-edge technologies has not only transformed domestic industries but has also positioned China as a global leader in innovation and technological progress.Of course, the success stories of China are not limited to the realms of business, economics, and technology. The country's rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions have also been a source of immense pride and global recognition. From the ancient art of calligraphy to the stunning landscapes of the Forbidden City, China's cultural achievements have inspired awe and admiration around the world.In the realm of sports, China has also made its mark, with athletes like Yao Ming and Li Na becoming household names on the global stage. The country's hosting of major sporting events, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2022 Winter Olympics, have also been hailed as tremendous successes, showcasing China's ability to organize and execute large-scale international events with precision and professionalism.Overall, the success stories of China are a testament to the resilience, ingenuity, and determination of the Chinese people. From the timeless wisdom of Confucius to the cutting-edge innovations of the tech industry, China has consistently demonstrated its ability to riseto the challenges of the modern world and to leave an indelible mark on the global landscape. As the country continues to evolve and grow, it is clear that the success stories of China will only continue to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.。

初三全球合作与社会变革英语阅读理解25题

初三全球合作与社会变革英语阅读理解25题

初三全球合作与社会变革英语阅读理解25题1<背景文章>Global cooperation plays a crucial role in combating climate change. Climate change is a global issue that affects every country and every individual on the planet. No single nation can tackle this mammoth problem alone.One of the significant initiatives in global cooperation regarding climate change is the Paris Agreement. Many countries around the world have come together under this agreement. They have pledged to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre - industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Through this agreement, countries are required to submit their own national climate action plans, outlining their goals and strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.Another important aspect of global cooperation is the sharing of technology and knowledge. Developed countries, which often have more advanced technologies in renewable energy and energy - efficient systems, can share their expertise with developing countries. For example, some European countries are leading in wind and solar energy technologies. They can help African or Asian countries to develop their own renewableenergy infrastructure.However, there are also numerous challenges ahead for global cooperation in climate change. One of the main challenges is the difference in economic development levels among countries. Developing countries may be more concerned about economic growth and poverty alleviation, and they may not be able to afford the high cost of immediate and large - scale emission reduction. Another challenge is the lack of a unified global enforcement mechanism. Although there are agreements like the Paris Agreement, there is no strong international body to ensure that all countries fully implement their commitments.In conclusion, global cooperation is essential for addressing climate change, but it also faces many difficulties that need to be overcome through continuous international dialogue and joint efforts.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. To introduce the Paris Agreement only.B. To talk about the importance of global cooperation in climate change and related issues.C. To discuss the economic development of different countries.D. To explain the technologies in renewable energy.答案:B。

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, from Harry found that sorcerer’s stone is elements allow the rebirth of V oldemort, he has conflict and hatred with V oldemort and his servant . Harry intentionally or unintentionally undermined their actions and won the sorcerer’s stone to stop V oldemort’s rebirth. Face the strong opponents, Harry can survive and keep safety every time. It is because his comprehension of magic continuously improves and have such outstanding principal Dumbledore wizard help and a little luck so that he always lucky enough to be a winner. This is so-called "coincidence." This is a surreal fantasy world full of magic, magic spell, magic creatures, but, in the eyes of a child, you can touch it, feel it as if they are real. Children are the acceptance of groups who has least obstacles and highly affected by word of mouth than adults. There is more time to gather and exchange greater interest in play and games, of course, also have higher 佳木斯大学教务处第enjoyment and gain.Harry • Potter depicts life from children's concerns and perspective. In the eyes full of childlike, the world is so colorful and changeable. Their innocence make complex social instantly simple, routine life interesting ,and everything can be so magical, mysterious: reinforced concrete house can divided into a magical world after the wizard’s magic; buses fly over the city like a plane; public telephone like a lift, cast a magic coin will reach the underground world of the magic court.Ordinary people, events, scene thing in the wonderful imagination becomes extraordinary sacred, not only satisfy the curiosity of children, but also attracted the attention of many adults --- awaken distant memories, activated the sleeping dream, lighting "game" of passion. Adults as a main social group, has to bear too much responsibility, obligation, pressure and burden. So they need to vent and release their anxious, never, empty and emotion. They get back the fun and magic of childhood ability to meet basic needs of game entertainment psychology, and also access to the highest level of life enjoyment that is aesthetic delight with the spirit of joy.H arry • Potter is not only rich in interesting and storytelling, but also with the "magic" way turn the dull taste of modern life to overflowing, exuberant. Such as a detail in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the national president is waiting a call in the Prime Minister's Office and a man self-proclaimed "Ministry of Magic," Minister comes from roof to report on the recent actions and tasks, and then go disappear into the stove in the green flame. Half-truths, falsehoods, both whimsical and unexpected, but also practical, makes sense: the main public sector actually has a Ministry of Magic --- specifically to deal with the real magic of a wizard to facilitate the exchange of links with the real world. Peculiar imagination and vivid description make the real "magic" not only easy to understand and share their feelings, but also broke the realist and make things "strange" and "fun". So different style and exciting alternative of magic achieve the position among the classics of literature through establishing the theme of good over evil and sublimate the work values and aesthetic 佳木斯大学教务处第meaning.Harry • Potter full of fun and entertainment bring people back to fantasy times from the real world. The exciting story which is full of whimsy, beyond time and space fictional world, provides a maximum security mental recreation park for today’s people.1.2 A Hero of CiviliansHarry Potter builds a large colorful alien world, both love and hate, have complicated the past lives. Harry, a handsome boy who rides a broomstick and wears a pair of round glasses, flying around the world, make an unstoppable whirlwind of magic and let everyone crazy for him. While all sorts of weird characters contributed to f iction’s incredible success. But the idolatry of human is the psychological basis of its high-profile phenomenon. Rowling shapes the story of Harry’s growth with a series of book. In his world, miracles, myths, magic, anything is possible. So Harry become an Idol and marked as a modern young hero. This marks the return of the hero worship of the civilian population.As a civilian hero, Harry is just an ordinary little boy with a normal appearance, wearing a pair of small round glasses. He was intelligent, naughty, and loves the limelight, like to point out mischief; learning is not particularly serious, although posses the talent of magic, but the written examination have to depend on a friend’s counseling to make it through. He ignored the school rules, repeatedly broken taboo, stole into the Forbidden Forest, worn invisibility cloak, read banned books and unauthorized absence from school to the Magic Village. He wants to show that his prowess and proud of being a maverick. This knowingly individual heroism, get to the bottom, is only a juvenile self-proclaimed rebel spirit, intentionally or unintentionally, to attract the attention of others. In real life, these young boys are everywhere. They are upright, kind and intelligent. There are various harmless shortcomings and defects and eager to free, unfettered, arbitrary, and unconventional. Having these charactertraits, Harry is a true portrayal of millions of children and typical representative of his 佳木斯大学教务处第"civilian hero" image orientation.Idolatry is a hero dream in human childhood, but the "supperhero" that Rowling creates is not tall, or even to common to be a hero---sometimes he fears or even wants to escape when he faced V oldemort. Harry knew that he must have more powerful magic to defeat V oldemort and it is the best choice to keep safe before the last fight. There is no born hero. The sense of failure and frustration make Harry strong and perseverance. A naughty child's great potential be excited out of and an eternal truth was revealed: just prevails over evil and creats miracle.Rowling shapes Harry as a young hero, a subversion of the traditional civilian heroes: delicate, playful, curious treason and failure that belong s ordinary people’s qualities. Heroic aura fades, his usual ordinary even mediocre image is more approachable, more realistic real, and also more in line with modern standards of aesthetic Today, more and more rational readers don’t pursuit "Superman" and they no longer need a super hero with moral perfection, noble character. The heroes are on earth, among our life and everyone is a potential hero, everyone can become a hero. The civilian hero meets the spiritual needs of modern personality equality. The role of hero and civilian status is redefined, so equal dialogue between the two parallel pairs becomes possible.1.3Implied Aesthetic Tragic EmotionAs a fairy tale work, "Harry • Potter" never refuse to talk about death, but let the threat of death filled the book and result in strong tragic effects. The most precious is life and life's greatest feature is uncopiable. So the demise of life is the greatest tragedy. The enormous shadow of death always shrouded in the human heart and became an unspeakable pain and nightmare. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the magic school headmaster Dumbledore who has amazing magic strength is Harry's spiritual support. He always appeared timely and helps Harry to solve all difficulties. He is kindness, generosity, integrity but unexpectedly killed.Impermanence of life and unpredictable death, anyone is difficult to block. People can 佳木斯大学教务处第not control himself and can not predict the death. People fear deeply. This increased the tragedy. Death is not the absolute elements of tragedy, but tragedy is most likely derived from the death. Harry can not do anything when he faced powerful alien forces and helpless in the face of the tragic death of peers and teachers. This absurdity, loneliness, hopelessness may also force the reader to think about life's fragility and impermanence of fate. Here, death became the cornerstone of the tragedy.Works from the beginning of the tragedy buried hint: Harry’s parents fed little Harry the V oldemort‘s a “spirit”. V oldemort curse Harry to be ashes but the result is equal to curse its own. So he lost his body, leaving only the soul. As the owner of V oldemort’s one soul, Harry’s life and death is combined with V oldemort’s. Harry had to bear the spirit of the disturbance; step by step toward a pre-established trap. Harry can not get rid of “spirit” of V oldemort. He afraid that he could not resist the temptation of becoming another V oldemort.He was under immense pressure but finally defeated V oldemor and determined self-sacrifice in order to prevent the possible rebirth of V oldemort. Harry is a tragedy of existence. It is also an absurd since life has been linked with V oldemort. He had the tragic fate of the doomed and only the end of life is tragic end. This is the fate that Harry can not refuse and escape. "V oldemort" is his sworn enemy, but actually his own. Harry must overcome himself which requires more effort and greater courage. Of course, this made heroes and heroic qualities of character more prominent. From knowing their fate closely related, Harry’s choice whether co-exist or crash and burn with V oldemor is crucial. Face beautiful, precious life, no one is willing to give up, but the hero’s choice is justice in righteousness and sacrifice himself. Rowling dealt with the ultimate fate of Harry with tragic element, although happy endings hinder the further rendering tragic, but tragic sense of fairy tales as a fundamental change in the narrative style and deepened the meaning of literary works to enhance the work of the aesthetic implications. While it highlights the tragic circumstances behind the sense of the tragedy and further strengthen the work force.佳木斯大学教务处第2 Cultural Value of Harry Potter2.1 The Anti-modern Cultural TendencyA British critic defined the central feature of Harry Potter as "escapist world." "Real world" in the eyes of Rowling is material and political progress. "Escapism" means rejection and denial to the real world. So, in essence, Rowling has the anti-modern cultural tendencies. Rowling has a special love to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft where Harry and his friends learn witchcraft. This is a school built in the castle. F or today’s teenagers who dominated by rational science and technology and suppressed by learning tasks, the Hogwarts magic school is full of wonder and mystery place. There are a lot of magical creatures around campus: horse people, giant spiders, whomping willow, beasts with eagle head and wings, giant and even appeared unimaginable Norway dragon and unicorn. There are thrilling Quidditch match, broomstick, witchcraft, wand...... Harry was a gifted wizard boy who buried in Muggle world, but he is a genius in the magic world with high capability. And he unconsciously felt: "Castle is more like a home every day." Rowling described Harry’s witchcraft school, his life and his learning mentality, some extent due to her youth and experience. Rowling's parents lived in the town of West Village Yetkin for some reasons. The West Village for those who escape city life in London has an irresistible lure of romance. It is open, wide, scenic, historic and mysterious, simple and relaxed life; people have more time to visit with others. In her hometown, she likes walking in the garden, woods and fields. She felt happy, enthusiastic and generous. She believed that home, family and labor is the center of life, but do not want to change the world and just want to enjoy life. However, industrialization has destroyed the "beautiful countryside," Rowling saw the golden fields gradually disappeared; gradually clouds the sky made her dislike it any more. Rowling’s another painful memory is poverty. As a single mother, in the beginning of novels, she even had no fixed abode, had to push baby carriages to the coffee shop for writing. Because 佳木斯大学教务处第there is no computer, paper, she had to write the story of the novel in the brokenpieces of paper; she drank a cup of coffee every a few hours to save money. In novel, Harry’s tragic childhood, dark cupboard and the cousin’s bullying, are all reproduction of poverty of Rowling.Because industrial technology damage environment and poverty harm the lives, so that Rowling had “escapism” impulse. In Harry Potter, the little magician were riding on a flying broom, using the owl messengers and they do not have complex mechanical toys and exciting game. Such creative thinking, to a certain extent, reflected that Rowling respect nature and escapes the world. Rowling has full of warm memories on the "pre-industrial era". In her view, the 20th century is a recession and people should return to the traditional life to look for the loss of moral and living environment. This concept is not alone. Rowling's “escapism " is a shock and reflection to the real world. But she also understands the power of modern is hard to resist, eventually the memory of the traditional will generally grow dim, fade.There is a light blue and sadness in Harry Potter: little wizards had grown up, married, and have their own children; they hide their own magic wand, and lived with Muggles together. Magical world and its amazing things gradually leave and everything in the passage.2.2 View of the Heroism of Ordinary PeopleThe hero legends follow a similar narrative pattern: "A hero from the ordinary everyday world into a supernatural miracle field where he encountered some incredible power and at last won a decisive victory." This is the so-called hero adventure narrative mode. When almost modern literature described "the hero is dead" by this narrative mode, Rowling found a new approach of the performance of heroes and heroism: She returned magical medieval world and express the modern ideal of the hero which was thought to be lost with passion. As a result, Harry Potter giant a great success with a huge number of readers, whether adults or children,because they are all love integrity, indomitable hero and the story happened to them. 佳木斯大学教务处第Harry Potter,the hero changed the traditional Western view of the tragic spirit. Harry, an orphaned childhood, little boy was fostered in uncle's home, suffering inconstancy of human relationships, joys and sorrows. The fate of his quiet life is shattered and when he was 11years old. He began a period of life journey different from "Muggle" and he had to face the black wizard V oldemort. He had to take revenge for their parents and take the mission of saving the wizard world. Harry as a hero embodies the value and dignity against the tragic fate. In the traditional view about the hero, Rowling started the modern temperament of thoughts: a little ordinary man nowadays should shoulder what responsibility? Harry and his Hogwarts classmates - Ron and Hermione, are inconspicuous boy wizard who has been living a quiet life. Suddenly, V oldemort appears, they must be the same as the soldiers and rushed to the battlefield in a dangerous fight which they can not escape responsibility. They persevered at last and successfully proved themselves simple but valuable virtues: courage, courageous, fearless, making their friendship and love between even stronger. Finally, the little children become heroes who create history. Here, Rowling's view is: weak and strong people can have the same goal of self-expectations, the weak hand can still accomplish great things, not because of its ability and virtue, but because they must do it. Harry and his friends in Harry Potter stand for millions of ordinary people in the real world. The prototype of Hogwarts students from J.K. Rowling’s young partners, they have ordinary life experience, love family and hometown deeply, never thought to change. However, life distress, they feel their responsibility, suddenly brave and determined. Harry and his friends are just ordinary boy wizard, but without them, success can never be achieved. It can be said is that these ordinary people are not afraid of hard to complete their responsibilities and they are real impetus to the advance of history. The heroism in Harry Potter touched the hearts of millions of readers. It is not how heroes defeat the enemy, but rather why they are fighting, why they can loss lives for their friends. In the very end of the novel, the hero’s ring cleared, leaving only light, fire, dinner, wife and children. Some people 佳木斯大学教务处第think that the outcome of this magnificent saga is so anticlimactic. In fact, this is thehighlight of the story. The hero, fighting and fearless action are not more worthy than calm life every day. Rowling believe, read fantasy novels in the world of suffering, people will know better how to value the happy life.2.3 The Attack of Racism, Class Differences in the ArgotWorks also attacked insinuations of racism. V oldemort and his followers fanatically pursuit pure- blood Hogwarts students. They think "pure" students are superior and only completely "pure" wizard have right to Slytherin Academy but "non-pure" wizard will only be assigned to Gryffindor for learning witchcraft. They therefore despise, ridicule, hatred, "mud" humble birth, and low students, such as Hermione, Ron and so on. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the Malfoy called Hermione "mud" ,Hermione’s pride was greatly hurt and run away and cried sadly. Hermione’s reflects tells us that “mud" is the same as the call "nigger"for black, which is insulting and harmful. Therefore, Slytherin and Gryffindor gap is in fact a stark symbol of social reality of apartheid and racial discrimination. Not only Malfoy and other negative character have this discrimination, the positive character Connelly • Fuji secretly think that "pure" wizards are more noble, although he against V oldemort and his followers Death Eaters. Rowling This kind of "good man" is not perfect. She dealt discrimination and hostility by such way reveals the psychological is not only bad guys’ privilege. Such as racial distinction, black and white split, big difference between men and women and other paranoid phenomena in human culture and values is deep-rooted, but now become unconscious or even insensitive.Ron’s family is not rich, but Malfoy is privileged class. This just reflect on the social class differences. Rowling expressed strong likes and dislikes. Rowling, in the novel experience of distress and suffering all the hardships, this is even more critical thought-provoking. This apartheid, racial discrimination, class differences and other phenomena exists in the magical world, in fact, have a strong feature in social realism.The cultural background of different phenomena delivered a message: the magical 佳木斯大学教务处第world filled with the atmosphere of racism and cultural discrimination. Rowling is using magic realism to promote different color and different ethnic groups live in harmony. Just as Dumbledore’s speech, " Taking into account V oldemort comes again and we can do anything together, fall apart is nothing, "" if we open our hearts and unity purpose, habits and language differences are fearless”3 Literary Value of Harry Potter3.1 The Poetic PhilosophyHarry Potter use metaphor and artistic technique reveals the relativity and characteristics of things in property, adding to the works of the depth of philosophy. As a treasure of Eris Mirror, it can change the image what is your heart most desire, so Harry will have seen his parents who have passed away, but Ron saw he became as student president as his brother. "Bogut" is also an amorphous thing, because it is the embodiment of fear inside of each person. Desire and fear are the most normal human beings’ emotions. Writer made these two abstract emotions become two subjects to obtain a meaningful content and give unlimited imagination and beauty. Such things as the expression of uncertainty provide readers with a limited and unlimited, like magic of dim and clear poetic imagination.Britain is a country with a very strong tradition of children's literature. From Gulliver's Travels and Alice in Wonderland, you can see, Harry Potter has some literary sources.Fantastic literature's feature includes finding possibility in life and extending the reality. Fantastic describe the existentialist with poetry and full of imagination beyond reason. For example, the whole Hogwarts feel anxious for V oldemort who lived in his own memory (the specific form is a diary of his). He relies on a naive little girl's love, tears and pure soul. Even the use of the time converter can exist without time and space constraints. Time unites finite and infinite life up. Time is one important way of the performance of fantasy literature. In fantasy literature, human existence may be tangible, intangible and deformation. Can be horse 佳木斯大学教务处第people, double-sided people, wolves, lizards, wizard, a bird and even you can always8 years old ... ... They reflect the various think of life itself. Self-understanding is always an important theme in fantasy literature. J.K. Rowling has depicted people outside the universe or within the universe and the infinite diversity of images, which contain female writers’passion and exquisite. So she can be called a "poetic philosopher."3.2 A Model of Successful Children's LiteratureAlthough the literature encourage the exploration, but compared with the adult literature, the children's need attention in the creation the "right time" issues, because of readers reading experience and life experience, such as some of the negative things is totally inappropriate to show for children. Children's literature authors believe that children's literary works should seize the young reader in the "first time", that is, open the books on the first page, read the first minute, the first paragraph of the story, if can not arrests little readers in first time will be ignored. The reason is simple: children is lack of patience and can not sit still. It is based on the psychology of children. Harry Potter can be said a creative arts, racking the brain, riveting, full of effort to this point to write according to the tastes of children. Specific analysis, I think at least the following points are worth learning.3.2.1 Set a Chain of SuspenseWhole work is full of tense, exciting and thrilling reading atmosphere, encourage young readers have to read on step by step. Harry played a thrilling role at the beginning: when he was one year old, parents were killed by black wizard V oldemort, leaving a lightning-shaped scar on forehead. When he is 7 years old, owler gave him a mysterious letter which is an admission notice from Hogwarts. He brought a pet owl, holding a magic wand, carrying all kinds of magic, to magic school by train in King's Cross station’s "platform nine and three quarters " which we ordinary people can not see. While living in the magic school, Harry was very happy, but continues happen theincredible things in his school life. Reading is a spiritual adventure. Harry Potter 佳木斯大学教务处第。

3.2 RECENT SUCCESS STORIES FROM THE INFLIGHT ICING PDTMarcia K. Politovich and Ben C. BernsteinNational Center for Atmospheric ResearchBoulder, CO 80026I. INTRODUCTIONThe FAA’s Aviation Weather Research Program (AWRP) supports Product Development Teams (PDTs) addressing a variety of aviation weather hazards. The InFlight Icing PDT (IFIPDT) primarily addresses safety-related issues, but improvements in icing detection and diagnosis will also effect efficiency of the National Airspace System. This paper describes recent successes of the IFIPDT.2. BACKGROUNDIn-flight icing continues to be a cause or factor in numerous fatal aircraft accidents, and creates significant disruption to domestic flight operations. Improvements in detection, diagnosis and forecasting of hazardous icing are coming, and this paper will describe recent successes in this area due to the efforts of the AWRP’s IFIPDT.The roles of the IFIPDT are to provide guidance to the FAA on in-flight icing, prepare annual plans for research and development, monitor progress on the plan and provide reports and briefings to the AWRP and coordinate FAA-sponsored research and development activities with those of other organizations.The overall goal of the IFIPDT is a gridded depiction of inflight icing with the highest possible temporal and spatial resolution, based on integration of operational model output with real-time sensor data. With increased model resolution, better bandwidth availability, and faster data integration techniques, we expect to achieve a depiction of the actual icing hazard to as fine as 5 km over North America. In data-sparse regions (polar regions, ocean routes, etc.) resolution probably will be degraded depending on available data inputs. Collaboration with the user community, as well as aerodynamicists, is needed to establish the scales required for icing hazard depiction and to determine the appropriate scales based on airplane response to the environment.Correpsonding author: M.K. Politovich, NCAR, PO Box 3000, Boulder, CO 80307. The IFIPDT also identifies potential operational impacts and training/education needs as each icing product enhancement is introduced to end-users. To support product development, the IFIPDT pursues directed research into environmental characterization, storm structure, microphysics, sensor design and response, model improvements, and accretion physics needed to ensure necessary improvement of products. The IFIPDT is organized into product development and applied research activities. Product development includes model enhancements, algorithms, and special products suited for Alaska. Applied research includes progress in remote sensing techniques (in collaboration with the Advanced Weather Radar Techniques PDT) and in icing physics, which includes cloud and storm structure and characterization. There is considerable interaction with other PDTs, aviation end-users, and organizations responsible for numerical weather prediction model development (such as NCEP and NOAA).Our primary product is the CIP (Current icing Potential, see Bernstein et al., 2005), founded on the idea that no single piece of information, currently available operationally, can reveal characteristics of inflight icing conditions needed by end-users. Various sources of information yield clues about the icing environment --- where icing does and does not reside, and the expected severity (Fig. 1).Figure 1: Data sets ingested into CIP.By understanding the messages conveyed by these bits of information, and combining them intelligently using fuzzy logic techniques, we construct a detailed map of the icing environment. There is a forecast version, FIP (Forecast Icing Potential), which uses model-produced surrogates for the observations, and Alaska versions of both CIP and FIP (CIP-AK and FIP-AK).3. TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERThe IFIPDT’s main path to implementation isthrough AWC via the Aviation Weather Technology Transfer (AWTT) process. This process involves the AWTT Board, with membership chosen from FAA, NWS, and other interested organizations. The Board approves aviation weather products under development for three levels of use: test (D2, very limited availability); experimental (D3, prototype products publicly available for user comment); and operational (D4, publicly available to all aviation decision-makers). The process is described by Knapp et al. (2002). The calendar for future upgrades and approvals of IFIPDT-developed products is shown in Table 1. Table 1: AWTT Board Decision Timetable forIFIPDT ProductsAWTT DECISIOND3 D4CIP Nov’00 Dec’01FIP May’01 Jun’03CIP-SLD Jun’02Jun’02FIP-SLD Nov’04 May’05 CIP Severity May’04 Aug’06FIP Severity May’05 Aug’07 CIP-AK Nov’03 Nov’06 FIP-AK Nov’04 FY07 Terminal CIP May’04 FY08 Some users desire different outputs than AWC is currently able or planning to generate. This is particularly pertinent for those end-users who want either route-or aircraft-specific products, or finer time and space scales than provided by either the current AIRMETs or the 20-km resolution of the CIP/FIP. The Aviation Digital Data Service (ADDS) team is working on Jade (a revision of Java) applets that will allow users to designate and store multiple routes; this will solve the problem of tedious route input into the Flight Path Tool every time they need a forecast for a route they routinely fly. Airlines may also generate their own products in-house, or be provided products the IFIPDT on a test and evaluation basis. Weather product vendors may enter into the distribution system by reformatting and/or redistributing the products available on ADDS (they may also produce their own in-house products independently). These products may also be tailored for in-cockpit use by various datalinking programs planned or underway.4. SUCCESS!4.1 High-Resolution CIPFigure 2: Example of HRCIP composite product for 1700 UTC, 2 Dec’04. Scale indicates likelihood of icing from light blue (low) through red (high). From January through April 2005, the IFIPDT ran a high resolution version of CIP, or HRCIP, over the Great Lakes area (Fig. 2). This grid was available every 15-30 min and had 5-km horizontal spacing,taking greater advantage of the increased resolution available from satellite and radar data sets. Thelocation was chosen to cover the area flown by the NASA Glenn Research Center Twin Otter, and to cover most of the TAMDAR (Moninger et al., 2003) Great Lakes Fleet Experiment. The results were encouraging in demonstrating the value of a higher resolution product. Details of winter storm structure conducive to icing were more readily visible to developers. The runs also form a solid basis for testing improvements to CIP by inclusion of better radar data sets (NEXRAD Level 2, NSSL 3-D mosaic, vendor layer-averaged reflectivity products) and improved satellite-derived cloud products being developed at NASA Langley, and the TAMDAR icing reports.4.2 Remote Sensing HardwareThe IFIPDT has supported the design and construction of two new remote sensing systems for inflight icing detection. GRIDS, the Ground-based Remote Icing Detection System, was supported by FAA and NOAA. The system consists of a K a-band radar in a fixed-staring mode at at 40o elevation angle. GRIDS is based on a 45o slantwise polarization which was found (through previous field studies, see Reinking et al., 2000) to have optimal capability for discriminating between freezing drizzle and snow. For icing conditions not related to freezing drizzle, data from a dual-channel radiometer is incorporated and used, with the cloud radar, to estimate likely areas of icing conditions. SPolKa was developed jointly by the FAA and Naitonal Science Foundation. It is based on the NSF’s SPol radar, an S-band fully polarized Doppler radar used for cloud physics research. A K a-band radar was attached to the S-band antenna and adjusted to have the same viewing angle and similar beamwidth to the S-band radar. The K a-band signal is attenuated by liquid water in its path (see Martner et al., 1993 and Vivekanandan et al., 2001) whereas the S-band signal is not; thus in the fully-scanning system a map of liquid water content should be achievable with corrections for Mie scattering. GRIDS was included as part of the Alliance Icing Research Study field effort (AIRS-2) near Montreal, Canada, in late 2003. Both GRIDS and SPolKa were tested during WISP04 near Boulder, CO. Results from both deployments showed promise in determining locations of icing conditions and estimating severity (Schneider et al., 2004).4.3 Model Microphysics ParameterizationsThe IFIPDT has a major role in upgrading microphysics parameterizations in the MM5. These are subsequently transferred to operations via incorporation into the RUC, and in the future, the WRF models. The last RUC release, RUC-13, in spring 2005, included new microphysics and mixing parameterizations that already appear to have improved cloud fields; these are described by Thompson et al. (2004). IFIPDT investigators are currently analyzing aerosol and cloud physics data from recent IMPROVE and AIRS-2 field campaigns. These data sets are being used to improve the size distributions of hydrometeors in the models to better predict both precipitation and the cloud water that remains and poses an icing hazard.Figure 3: CIP-AK for 1900 UTC, 20 Oct 2005 at 12,000 ft MSL. Color scale at bottom is uncalibrated icing potential.4.4 AlaskaOur Alaskan versions of CIP and FIP, CIP/FIP-AK, run hourly on the 45-km Eta model (Fig. 3). They incorporate METARs, GOES-10 satellite imagery and PIREPs but at this time they are not using local NEXRAD or polar orbiter satellite data. The products are designated experimental and may be viewed on experimental ADDS. NCEP has plans to replace this version of the Eta in Spring 2006 with a new mesoscale model to cover all of North America, and eventually the WRF-RR (Weather Research and Forecast Rapid Refresh) model will cover approximately the same domain. This highlights an opportunity (or problem) for the IFIPDT: to keep the diagnosis and forecast algorithms in step with model upgrades. While these upgrades are intended to improve forecasts of relevant parameters such as temperature, humidity and precipitation, the changes effect the final algorithm output. A nearly continuous development and verification process is required for all our products to keep them current.4.5 POESFigure 4. Comparisons of all AMSR-E and MWR LWP retrieval results for 6 Nov – 14 Dec 2003 during AIRS-2. Error bars for MWR retrieval results indicate LWP variability over a two-hour period around the time of the AMSR-E overpass.Retreival of liquid water path (LWP) over water surfaces is a relatively easy problem. The IFIPDT has produced reasonable results for LWP retrieval over land, which has varying transmissivity and is a more difficult retrieval. Comparisons of retrieved LWP with ground-based measurements look promising (Fig. 4). This information has potential for inclusion into CIP for estimating total liquid amounts in clouds.4.6 User Training = Smarter UsersWe believe that training users both in basic principles of icing weather and in use of new products will enhance aviation safety. NASA Glenn Research Center recently completed several training modules for pilots and dispatchers focusing on SLD and tailplane icing (see for details). IFIPDT members contributed meteorological background for these modules. One of the team members also has participated in pilot classroom training at University of Tennessee Space Sciences Institute, and we hope to continue these efforts in the future.4.7 Forecast Support = Smarter Forecasters IFIPDT members have supplied forecasts of icing conditions for various field projects, most recently the Alliance Icing Research Study (AIRS-2) and NASA Glenn icing flight missions (Fig 5). These exercises keep our skills fresh, introduce us to new products and help us learn how to use them, as well as provide a service to the icing community. In turn we receive immediate feedback on our prediction skills, and the data sets from the research aircraft and other instruments assist our product development. The most recent example of forecaster/researcher experience being translated into an improved algorithm is our new CIP Severityalgorithm, described by Bernstein et al. (2006).Figure 5: The NASA Glenn Twin Otter Research Aircraft after a successful icing mission.4.8 Icing ClimatologyDue to a lack of regular, direct measurements, little information is available about the frequency, spatial and temporal distribution of icing conditions aloft, including supercooled large drops (SLD). Research aircraft provide in-situ observations of these conditions, but the sample set is small and can be biased. Other techniques must be used to create a more unbiased climatology. The presence and absence of icing and SLD conditions can be inferred using surface weather observations in conjunction with vertical profiles of temperature and moisture. Such climatologies were created for both North America and Europe using ~15 years of coincident, 12-h surface weather reports and balloon-borne soundings. Over North America, icing conditions were found to be most common along the Pacific coast from Alaska to Oregon, and in a large swath from the High Plains to the Canadian Maritimes. For SLD, the western maximum was more pronounced, but a secondary maximum was found in the east. The primary European icing and SLD maxima were found over the United Kingdom, Iceland, western Scandinavia and around northern Germany. Prime locations migrated seasonally. Most SLD events appeared to occur <4km MSL, were <1km deep and were formed via the collision-coalescence process.5. SUMMARYThe IFIPDT has made substantial progress in product development, from applied weather research through dissemination of user-friendly products. We have also enjoyed our many collaborations with fellow icing weather researchers around the world.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSMembers of the IFIPDT have made this project the success that it is by working diligently to conduct research that is of the highest quality.
