The last time I saw him alive was Thanksgiving weekend in 1985. My mom warned us that Grandpa didnt look the same anymore and that we should prepare ourselves. For

If you have a fear of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals. But goals
25、 help us decide where we want to go in life. Without goals, we have no sure destination.Many experts recommend visualization(形象化) as a powerful tool for goal setting.

29、talk with a school counselor or admissions officer to see whats required for admission.Try to make your goals tiny steps on the route to much bigger goals. Dont focus on the end picture: getting the promotion, or graduating with an MBA. Just focus on the next step: introducing yourself to the depart

When I returned i
39、t, I couldntwait to get the suitcase back into Debbies safe hands. She asked,“Did everything go well on the trip?” Somehow, I just couldnt resist telling her what had happened. She laughed heartily. When I recall the golden suitcase, Imreminded, that like the suitcase, we can see ourselves as too ol

44、ld first, the Tullibardine distillery in Perthshire has linked up with a spin-out company from Napier University in Edinburgh. They plan to use bacteria to feed on the leftovers from the whisky（威士忌酒） making process. This will produce butanol which can be used to fuel vehicles.More than 90% of the st
45、uff that comes out of a whisky distillery is not whisky. It is leftovers like draff and pot ales（酒糟） - both produced in the early stages of the process. They are high in sugar and are currently used for things like fertiliser and cattle feed. Napier Universitys Biofuel Research Centre (BfRC) has alr
46、eady shown that the right bacteria can feed on those by-products to produce butanol - a direct replacement for vehicle fuel.
