DENIM JEANS
It is the weekend!
Time to have fun and relax,
and time for young people to take off their school uniform and put on their favourite casual clothes.
When teenagers have a free day, many of them like to wear a pair of denim jeans.
Although the styles many change from year to year,
jeans never go completely out of fashion.
They are part of the lifestyle of many of today’s youth.

Read about the lives of two young women,who are now part of that great project.

The biggest problem was my feeling that I wasn't smart enough to do this.

I had to believe in myself.

My teachers encouraged us to believe we could do anything

and have it all.

I always loved all sorts of science,but I thought of maths as "Just a tool".

My best subject was always English,and I think that it helped me a lot,

because good communication is so important no matter what your job is.

Also,being good at English left me the time I needed

to work harder on my maths.

There is much yet to be discovered.

I believe the greatest inventions will be made

when men and women combine their intelligence and creativity.

I was born in 1968 in a small town in northwest China.

In school I did well in maths and science.

I believe that is because I was interested in them

and I asked a lot of questions.

I was also lucky to have some excellent teachers.

Change is the most important challenge of our time.

We have to go on learning new things and skills after finishing school.

Much of my knowledge comes from "on-the-job learning".

If you want to work on the space programme,

you should study maths,physics and computer science in high school.

You need them to understand the properties of matter

and the laws of the universe.

孤身闯南极

我在50岁的时候成了独自一人去北极旅行的第一位妇女.

可是,我应该做些什么来庆祝自己60岁的生日呢?

没有别的庆祝方式,只有去地球的另一端南极洲.

1997年11月1日,我开始了将近200英里的旅行.

我一个人步行,一个人滑雪.我的狗群没有跟我在一起为我拉雪撬.

另一个具有挑战性而且危险的旅程要开始了.

起初的那几天天气很好.

虽然冷风刺骨,但风力不大,

而且一天24小时阳光明媚,

但是变化悄然而至.

第三天,我与暴风雪天气奋战了一天,

接下来的一周里,暴风雪更猛烈了,

我只好在帐篷里呆了一整天.

一天我刚行进了两个小时,

狂风就骤然加大

我只好支起帐篷,以防风太大无法支持下去.

几分钟内,风便狂吼起来

像是要把我的帐篷一并掀翻.但什么也没有发生

12月12日,风暴渐渐退去

那是我的生日,我想让它过得特别一些.

我在火炉上把一块冰冻的蛋糕融解,在顶上插了一根蜡烛,

点燃它,扯起嗓子唱起了"祝我生日快乐".

几天以后,我滑过一个看似安全的斜面坡

结果毫无警告,我雪橇下的大地突然不见了.

我掉到一个大坑里,挂在了系在雪撬上的绳子上.

一个冰块掉下去,我一直也没有听到它落地的声音.

坑底离地面有几百英尺深.

在我居住的山上,我曾无数次地练过自救,这时我

小心翼翼地往上爬.

花了我很长的时间,我终于爬了出来.

我真感谢我接受过的所有训练.

我身体良好,而且我的所有的设备运转正常.

我如此乐观,以至我决定第二天,

也就是这次远征的第22天,我要把每天的工作量增加到12小时.

第二天早晨我在雪撬上出了一次严重事故,摔伤了自己的腿.

我的左腿不能站立,由于与地面碰撞,头晕目眩.

但我知道,我必须站起来如果我一直躺在冰天雪地里,我很快会冻死的.

于是我挣扎着站起来.

我心中明白无论如何我得支好帐篷避风,

我爬起来跪在地上终于撑起了帐篷,把睡袋拖了进去,

躺在了抵挡寒风的帐子里.

我必须做出决定.

是等待情况好转还是绝然放弃?

我必须考虑对我来说非常重要的我的家人,并做出正确的先择.

我这样做无怨无悔.
