The sales pitch isirresistible: the principal fuel, a heavy isotope of hydrogen called deuterium, can be extracted fromwater. In effect, therefore, it is in limitless supply. Nor, unlike fusion’s cousin, nuclear fission, doesthe process produ

　　历年真题是最宝贵的复习资料。针对考研英语，以下几个方面基本上是固定的，包括词汇量、句子结构、篇章模式、选项设置、命题规律，因此考点当然也是固定的。把真题研究透彻，对于顺利通过考试甚至取得高分是至关重要的。文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理一下1991年Text 1的要点，主要涉及相对重要的词汇和短语的含义和用法以及典型长难句的分析。

世纪，甚至习惯这个词本身也带有负面涵义。

因此，在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯，似乎显得有点矛盾。但大脑研究人员发现，

当我们有意识地培养新的习惯的时候，我们创建了平行路径，甚至是全新的脑细胞，可以让

我们不要把自己看成是不可改变的习惯动物，相反，我们可以通过有意识的培养新的习

惯来引导自身的改变。事实上，我们对新事物尝试得越多——就会越远地走出自己的舒适

地带——我们在工作场所及个人生活中就会变得越有创造性，

但是，不必费心试图摈弃各种旧习惯；一旦这些程序惯例融进大脑，它们就会留在那里。相反，我们刻意培养的新习惯会创建平行路径能避开原来那些老路。
