I. Translate the following paragraph into Chinese
52．Such questions make me uneasy about promoting wildlife conservation in impoverished nation. Nonetheless, I believe that we can – and should – do a great deal. It’s a matter of changing priorities. plenty money is available for scientific field studies and vehicles for park personnel who protect wildlife from poachers? What about development aid to give local people economic alternatives to cutting forests and plowing over the land? That kind of funding is difficult to come by.
参考答案：此类问题使我们对在贫困国促进野生动物保护深感不安，然而，我相信，我们能够也应该大有作为，这是一个改变先后顺序的问题。大量资金用于科学领域的研究和濒危物种会议的召开，可是，是否考虑过为那些保护野生动物免遭偷猎者毒手的公园管理人员提供靴子和交通工具？是否考虑过发放发展援助金使当地人在砍伐木与耕种土地之间作出经济上的选择呢？
53.When I realized that I spent 60 hours at the office but only completed 15 hours of actual work within that time, I started asking myself some interesting questions. My income and my sense of accomplishment depended only on those 15 hours, not on the total amount of time I spent at the office. So I decided to begin recording my daily efficiency ratio as the amount of time I spent on actual work divided by the total amount of time I spent in my office. While it certainly bothered me that I was only working 25% of the time initially, I also realized it would be extremely foolish to simply work longer hours. Calculate your personal efficiency ratio.
Efficiency Ratio = (Time Doing \

参考答案：当我察觉自己在办公室里耗了60个小时，却只完成了15个小时的实质性工作时，我开始自问一些有趣的问题。我的收入和成就感仅仅来自那15个小时，而不是我在办公室耗费的所有时间。因此我决定开始记录我的每日效率比，也即我在实质性工作上耗费的时间除以我在办公室耗费的总时间。当我发现自己仅利用了25％的时间时这确实令我感觉糟透了。我同时认识到，仅仅延长工作时间是极其愚蠢的。
效率比＝实际工作时间/总的“工作时间”
54.If you've ever tried to discipline yourself to do something you weren't really motivated to do, you most likely failed. That was naturally the result I experienced when I tried to discipline myself to work harder. In fact, trying harder actually de-motivated me and drove my efficiency ratio even lower. So I reluctantly decided to try the opposite approach. The next day I would only allow myself to put in five hours total at the office, and the rest of the day I wouldn't allow myself to work at all. Well, an interesting thing happened, as I'm sure you can imagine. My brain must have gotten the idea that working time was a scarce commodity because I worked almost the entire five hours straight and got an efficiency ratio of over 90%. I continued this experiment for the rest of the week and ended up getting about 25 hours of work done with only 30 hours total spent in my office, for an efficiency ratio of over 80%. So I was able to reduce my weekly working time by 30 hours while also getting 10 more hours of real work done. If your time log shows your efficiency ratio to be on the low side, try severely limiting your total amount of working time for a day, and see what happens. Once your brain realizes that working time is scarce, you suddenly become a lot more efficient because you have to be. When you have tight time constraints, you will usually find a way to get your work done. But when you have all the time in the world, it's too easy to be inefficient.

参考答案：假如你曾经尝试过约束自己去做那些你并不真正有动力去做的事情，你失败的机率很大。这是当我试着约束自己去更努力地工作时的自然而然的结果。事实上，试图更努力只会降低我的动力并让我的“效率比”更低。因此我很不情愿地决定尝试相反的方法。第二天我只允许自己在办公室待上5个小时，而那天剩下的时间我不准自己再工作。哈，有趣的事情发生了，我肯定你能想象得到。我的大脑把工作时间当成了稀罕物，因为我持续工作了几乎整整5个小时且效率比超过了90％。我在一周接下来的几天里继续这个实验，于是这周在办公室度过的30个小时当中，我完成了25小时的工作，效率比超过80％。因此我在把每周工作时间减少到30 小时的同时还多出了10小时来做实质性工作。假如你的日程表显示你的效率比十分低下，那就试着在一天中严格限制你的工作总时间，看看成果如何。一旦你的大脑认识到工作时间很紧迫，你突然间就会变得极有效率，因为你必须如此。当你有紧迫的时间限制时，你通常总能找出完成工作的办法。而当你有充裕时间时，很容易就变得效率低下。

56.从前有一只圆圈缺了一块楔子。圆圈想保持完整，便四处寻找失去的那块楔子。由于它不完整，所以只能滚动很慢。一路上，它对花儿露出羡慕之色。它与蠕虫谈天侃地。它还欣赏到了阳光之美。圆圈找到了许许多多不同的配件，但是没有一件能完美地与它相配。所以，它将它们统统弃置路旁，继续寻觅。 参考答案：
Once a circle missed a wedge. the circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. but because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. it chatted with worms. it enjoyed the sunshine. it found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. so it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching.
57.人生不是上帝为谴责我们的缺陷而给我们布下的陷阱。人生也不是一场拼字游戏比赛。不管你拼出多少单词，一旦出现了一个错误，你便前功尽弃。人生更像是一个棒球赛季。即使最好的球队比赛也会输掉1/3，而最差的球队也有春风得意的日子。我们的目标就是多赢球，少输球。
参考答案：
Life is not a trap set for us by god so that he can condemn us for failing. life is not a spelling bee, where no matter how many words you’ve gotten right, you’re disqualified if you make one mistake. life is more like a baseball season, where even the best team loses one-third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. our goal is to win more games than we lose.
