In the city of Fujisawa, Japan, lives a woman named Atsuko Saeki. When she was a teenager, she 36 of going to the United States. Most of what she knew about American 37 was from the textbooks she had read. “I had a 38 in mind: Daddy watching TV in the living room, Mummy 39 cakes and their teenage daughter off to the cinema with her boyfriend.”
Atsuko 40 to attend college in California. When she arrived, however, she found it was not her 41 world. “People were struggling with problems and often seemed 42 ,” she said. “I felt very alone.”
One of her hardest 43 was physical education. “We played volleyball.” she said. “The other students were 44 it, but I wasn’t.”
One afternoon, the instructor asked Atsuko to 45 the ball to her teammates so they could knock it 46 the net. No problem for most people, but it terrified Atsuko. She was afraid of losing face 47 she failed.
A young man on her team 48 what she was going through. He walked up to her and 49 , “Come on. You can do that”
“You will never understand how those words of 50 made me feel…Four words: You can do that. I felt like crying with happiness.”
She made it through the class. Perhaps she thanked the young man; she is not 51 .
Six years have passed. Atsuko is back in Japan, working as a salesclerk. “I have 52 forgotten the words.” she said. “When things are not going so well, I think of them.”
She is sure the young man had no idea how much his kindness 53 to her. “He probably doesn’t even remember it,” she said. That may be the lesson. Whenever you say something to a person cruel or kind—you have no idea how long the words will 54 . She’s all the way over in Japan, but still she hears those four 55 words: You can do that.

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s 36filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so 37that I decided to write an article about her.
I 38Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk her career. She 39and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I 40I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there 41, taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that 42Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The 43was almost unbearable. I struggled for days 44draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript 45. How stupid of me! I thought. How could I 46in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t 47the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.

Dear Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some 50materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to 51your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to 52. Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of 53writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this 54, I learned a very important lesson: You can’t 55to doubt yourself.

Little Chad was a shy, 21 young man. One day he came home and told his mother that he’d like to make a Valentine for everyone in his class. Her heart sank. She thought, “I wish he 22 do that！” because she had 23 the children when they walked home from school. Her Chad was always 24 them. They laughed and 25on to each other. But Chad was never 26 . However, she decided she would 27 with her son. So she bought the paper and glue and crayons(蜡笔). For three weeks, night after night, Chad painstakingly made 35 valentines.
Valentine’s Day 28 , and Chad was 29 himself with excitement. He carefully put them in a bag and walked out of the door. His mother decided to bake him his favorite cookies and 30 them nice and warm with a cool glass of milk when he came home. She just knew he would be 31 and maybe that would ease(减轻) the pain a little. It hurt her to think that he wouldn’t get many valentines-maybe 32 at all.
That afternoon she had the cookies and milk on the table. When she heard the children outside, she looked out of the window. Sure enough, 33 they came, laughing and having the 34 time. And, as 35 , there was Chad at the back. He walked a little faster than usual. She 36 expected him to burst into 37 as soon as he got inside. His arms were 38 , she noticed, and when the door opened she choked back the tears.
“Mommy has some cookies and milk for you,” she said.
But he hardly heard her words, he just 39 right on by, his face aglow(满面红光), and all he could say was, “Not a one. Not a one.”
Her heart sank.
And then he added, “I didn’t forget a one, not a 40 one!”

Ausubel of Rockefeller University in New York, US. says the key renewable energy sources, including sun, wind and biofuels, would all require vast 1 of land if developed up to large scale production1 – unlike nuclear power. That land would be far better left alone2, he says. Renewables look attractive when they are quite 2 . But if we start producing renewable energy on a large scale, the fallout is going to be horrible. Instead, Ausubel argues 3 renewed development of nuclear.
Ausubel draws his conclusions by analysing the amount of energy renewables, natural gas and nuclear can produce in terms of power per square metre of land used3. Moreover, he claims that as renewable energy use increases, this measure of efficiency4 will 4 as the best land for wind, biofuels, and solar power gets used up.
Using biofuels to obtain the 5 amount of energy as a 1000 megawatt nuclear power plant would require 2500 square kilometres of farm 6 , Ausubel says. "We should be sparing land for nature5, not using it as pasture for cars and trucks," he adds.
Solar power is much more efficient than biofuel in terms of the area of land 7 , but it would still require 150 square kilometres of photovoltaic cells to 8 the energy production of the 1000 MW nuclear plant. In another example, he says meeting the 2005 US electricity demand via wind power alone would need 780,000 square kilometres, an area the size of Texas.
However, several experts are highly critical 9 Ausubel’s conclusions. John Turner of the US government’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory says that 10 the US got all of its power from solar energy, it would still need less than half the amount of land that has been paved over for highways. Further, it need not 11 additional land. The US could get a quarter of its energy just from covering rooftops of 12 buildings, he says.
According to Turner, the same "dual use" also applies to wind power6. "The footprint for wind7 is only 5% of the land that it 13 . Farmers can still farm the land that the turbines are on8. Turner says looking solely at land use is an oversimplification of the 14 . "I’m not sure I’d want to build one of these nuclear plants in Afghanistan9, but we could 15 put in wind and solar power," he adds.
