other high-tech equipment.However,ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in aspecial way by studying movements of random floating garbage（垃 圾）.A scientist withmany years experience,he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard abouthundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States.There were so many shoes that people were setting

shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoesback.As expected,the company told him that they didn,t.Ebbesmeyer realized this could be agreat experiment.If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked wherethey landed,he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the worlds best areas for beach8mbing（海 滩 搜 寻）because winds and currents join here,and as a result,there is a group of serious beachcombers inthe area.Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting informationabout where the shoes landed.In a year he collected reliable information on 1,600 shoes.Withthis data,he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed tomodel ocean currents,and publish the

do.10 Withoutmotivation,you can neither set a goal nor reach it.Like the child on the diving board,you willstay undecided.So how should you motivate yourself?1 1 First,you need to evaluate yourself yourvalues,your strengths,your weaknesses,your achievements,your desires,etc.Only then shouldyou set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite important,because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your heart is not in yourwork.12 So,slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment.Clarity（清 晰）of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectiveskeeping in mind your beliefs,values and strengths.Remember that goals are flexible.13They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example,you may want to be a高 二 英 语 试 卷 第 4
