It was always bad and usually foolish， but in the past human race managed to live with it. For the present， it is atomic bombs that cause the most serious danger， but bacteriological or chemical weapons may， before long， offer an even greater threat.It seems taht we will never succeed in getting rid of war. To do this， we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way， not as competitions of force.Attitudes must be changed so that victories arent achieved by the side which is most skillful in killing people， but according to agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits， but this is what must be attempted.Nuclear war must be avoid. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world， but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought， even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die， that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays can be solved though talks.【U9】genius 天才，天赋 hardship 困难，苦难genuine 真实的 count 计算，认为discouraged 劝阻，气馁的 converse 交谈，相反的encourages 鼓励 pity 怜悯，同情deserve 应受，应得 account 解释，导致fulfill 履行，实现 contrary 相反地acquire 获得，取得 while 虽然，一会but 但是Self-confidence gives us hope. It is a servant who gives its master light when he is in the dark. And it is encouragement when a person is discouraged. A person is a fool if he thinks that he is unable to carry out a difficult task while others do not find it difficult. It is neither genius nor extraordinary ability that gives us the power to deal with and overcome whatever hardship we meet. In truth it is the magic of self-trust that encourages us with bravery. Some people find most things impossible because they do not trust their own ability. Actually, they have the ability to make themselves successful, but it is a pity that they do not believe in themselves. People of this kind are more foolish than those who actually can not fulfill the work. This is on account of their ignorance. People who cant do a job are pardonable, but those who do not believe in themselves deserve no excuse. In short, success will not come to the door of a person who thinks he is not worthy enough to accept it. On the contrary , failure would be his life companion. This is why a person ought to believe in himself.【U8】powerful renderlimit employmentdominant appointmentremoved communitysuffered connectioneliminated interactionfustrated disadvantageprovideEmployment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries began. It made many people dependent on paid jobs by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people's homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment .Eventually, many people's work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived. Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage as men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community .Now,it becomes customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations limit more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.It was not only women whose work status suffersd.As employment became the dominant form of work , young people and old people were not included.This is a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.【U7】stress retiredemand quitchallenge employmentadvantages entertainmentbenefits financialaddition superficialconclusion creativerelaxWorkaholism can be a serious problem. True workaholics(工作狂) would rather work than do anything else and they probably don't know how to relax. that is, they might not enjoy movies, sports, or other types of entertainment. Most of all, they hate to sit and do nothing. The lives of workaholics are usually stressful, and this tension and worry can cause health problems such as heart attacks or stomach ulcers. In addition, typical workaholics don't pay much attention to their families. They spend little time with their children, and their marriages may end in divorce.Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that
