You'll get along a lot better in life if you use your own judgment and do what you yourself think is the right thing." 这位爸爸说：“儿子，你可千万要记住不要让别人牵着你的鼻子走。要是你能用你自己的判断力，做你认为是对的事，那你的日子会过得好得多。”每日名言（2008.1.09）人活着就要学习，而学习不是为了活着screen.width-333)this.width=screen.width-333"> screen.width-333)this.width=screen.width-333"> [English]Live to learn ,not learn to live .-------Francis Bacon[Chinese]人活着就要学习，而学习不是为了活着.-----F.培根最近要考试了，紧张的复习也开始了，只有一个字“累”！此时在想活着是为了什么？学习是为了什么？已经没有意义了。感觉自己是为了活着才学习！或是说为了活得更好才学习。是不是有点悲哀.....学习似乎失去了它的真正含义，而它的真正含义又是什么呢？亲爱的词友们： 你们知道吗？我自习去了.....01.09天天读图※动物世界在斐济群岛的水域中，帝王虾和寄居蟹消失隐秘在大豹海参皮肤上豹纹中。海参用它皮肤上的粘液提供食物给这些甲壳类动物，而当它受到威胁的时候，则会把有毒污秽的胃部器官喷射出来，以保护自己。Photograph by Tim LamanIn the waters of the Fiji Islands, an emperor shrimp and a commensal crab nearly vanish in the calico pattern of a large leopard sea cucumber.

Seals that are weaned and have shed their downy fur are called beaters for the way they beat their flippers on the water. Their sleek, unmarred pelts are prime quarry for seal hunters.西印度海牛 West Indian Manatee, Florida海牛可长达13英尺(4米)，重达1,300磅(600公斤)。与其它许多动物一样，海牛的体型掩盖了它们在水中的优雅。它们常在沿岸的水中以每小时5到15英里(每小时8到24公里)的速度优雅的滑水。北弗罗里达的泉水常年保持72华氏度(22摄氏度)的恒温，西印度海牛常去那片水域过冬.Photograph by Wes SkilesLike many creatures, the manatee’s bulk-they can be as much as 13 feet (4 meters) long and 1,300 pounds (600 kilograms)-belies its aquatic grace. Also called sea cows, manatees are graceful swimmers that typically glide along coastal waters at 5 to 15 miles an hour (8 to 24 kilometers an hour). This West Indian manatee is wintering in a North Florida spring, attracted by the region’s constant 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius) waters.非洲猎豹 Silhouette of African Cheetahs, Africa这张惹人注目的剪影照片显现出一头走向一棵树准备午后小憩的猎豹的矫健的身影。猎豹是陆地上速度最快的动物，曾在亚非大地上大量生长，但它们的幼兽常为狮子等捕食，栖息场所也因不断增加的农庄和牧场而缩减。如今在自然资源保护者的帮助下，估计约有12,000只猎豹遍布在30个国家里。 Photograph by Chris JohnsA striking silhouette shows off the lithe form of a cheetah approaching a tree for a late afternoon slumber.

Today an estimated 12,000 cheetahs live in 30 countries, helped by conservationists.赤狐 Red Fox, Denali National Park, Alaska在阿拉斯加的德纳里国家公园(Denali National Park)，一只赤狐正大张了嘴打着呵欠。狐狸有着很强的适应性，即使在有环境压力的情况下仍能健康成长。它们生活在森林，草原，山区，沙漠，甚至人类环境中，如农场和郊区。它们单独捕猎鼠类，兔子，鸟类等，有时也以其它的小猎物如鱼，青蛙，蚯蚓和垃圾等为食。Photograph by Joel SartoreIn Alaska’s Denali National Park, a red fox opens wide for a yawn. Foxes are masters of adaptation, allowing them to thrive despite environmental pressures.

They are solitary hunters that feed on rodents, rabbits, birds, small game-even fish, frogs, worms, and garbage.肩毛果蝠 Fruit Bats at Dusk, Zambia　　在赞比亚的卢安瓜山谷里，肩毛果蝠在夕阳染成绛红色的天空下飞舞。在雨季，泛滥的卢安瓜河水将从两岸溢出，将这片炎热干燥，尘土飞扬的大地变成郁郁葱葱的野生动物天堂。届时数百万的蝙蝠来到山谷中的树上栖息，以数量剧增的水果为食。Photograph by Frans Lanting　　　　Epauletted fruit bats speckle a saffron-colored sky at sunset in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley.
