This is the image that started me in my interest in this issue. And I saw it when I was a (1)college student because I had a professor named Roger Revelle who was the first person to (2)propose measuring carbon dioxide in the Earth's (3)atmosphere. He saw where the story was going after the first few (4)chapters. After the first few years of data, he (5)intuited what it meant for what was yet to come. They designed the experiment in 1957. He hired Charles David Keeling who was very (6)faithful and (7)precise in making these (8)measurements for decades. They started sending these weather balloons up every day and they chose the middle of the Pacific because it was the area that was most (9)remote. And he was a very hard-nosed scientist. He really (10)emphasized the hard data.

Now this is the single biggest crisis facing the future of the euro more than 12 years after its debut on the international financial market. The euro seems to be facing what is clearly its ①greatest challenge ever. This Eurozone sovereign debt crisis is ②raising concerns about whether Europe will have a ③unified currency at all. Now the Eurozone ④consists of 17 states out of the 27-member European Union. These are the 17 that have adopted the euro as ⑤a single currency. They are Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Bosnia, Finland, France and Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain. Now ⑥the euro is the official currency in all these countries. It?s ⑦the second largest reserve currency as well as the second most-traded currency in the world after ⑧the American dollar. But since the eruption of the sovereign debt crisis in Greece in December of 2009, this crisis has now spread to other countries including Ireland and Portugal. The government bonds of these countries have been ⑨reduced to junk status. Some

analysts say ⑩the lack of a unified fiscal policy framework in the Eurozone is the reason why there is so much strain on the euro.

Move over, Snow White. There is a new princess in town, Tiana. She's the new \them all\①black princess. “Finally, here is something that all little girls, especially young black girls can ②embrace, and that is huge.”
Tiana's ③timing couldn't be better. The fairy tale princess falling on the heels of what some call a real life fairy tale. The Obama's.
“That seems a message that you know what, no matter what you look like, you?re beautiful, that one day you can be a princess, one day you?re going to be ④first lady. ”And Tiana?s a modern princess, shapely with her own career, ⑤far different from cartoons of years passed.
Racial stereotypes used to be everywhere, even in some Disney productions. There are reels on YouTube. But times have changed, says marketing guru Linda Kaplan Thalers.
“⑥It used to be that we would see people in blackface. We would see minstrel shows. We would see black people ⑦portrait in subservient position and it is so wonderful that we have finally move past the stereotypes.“
Pocahontas, Mulan and now, Tiana, Disley?s marketing machine is in high gear. The doll was⑧unveiled last month and her movie will be out soon too, “The Princess and the Frog” , set in New Orleans.

Life on this planet is made up of beautiful but very fragile web of interconnected species and
27
environments, we call this biodiversity. And it is a ①collection of all the different genes, species and ecosystems in a region. The earth has 895 separated ②ecological regions. They are homed for 4000 different species of mammals, 270,000 species of plants and 950,000 species of insects. The more biological diverse the region, the better its ③chances of survival. We can think of biodiversity in three ways: genetic biodiversity measures how much variety there is in a gene pool of the particular species. When ④threatened by disease, those species with more diverse gene pools are more likely to produce individual so are able to survive an inappropriate. Those with smaller gene pool can be ⑤wiped out forever. The same principle ⑥holds true for species diversity. The more kinds of species in a particular ecosystem, the more likely it is to overcome ⑦threats such as natural disasters and climate change. Finally, ecosystem diversity measures in number and variety of different ecosystems in a region. The more diverse the region, the more likely it is for life to survive when catastrophic events occur. When human beings have a peculiar relationship with biodiversity, on the one hand, we ⑧rely on a large variety of species in an environment to help keep our water clean, regulate our climate, control pests and disease, and provide us with food, ⑨shelter, clothing and medicine. But human beings today turn to work against biodiversity. Even know there are over 80,000 species of the plants that are potentially edible, we choose only 30 of them to supply 90% of the calories in our diet, just 14 animal species make up 90% for our life style. We?ve only tested 1% of the plants in the world worth for the potential value, even know half of our medicine is made from natural substances. The choices we make our farming, logging and urban development are covering a lot of species that make up the biodiversity and our planet and because these species are so ⑩interdependent, when one gets wiped out, it can cause other ones to disappear too. If we are not careful, one day, one of those species might just be us.

Issac Newton
The law of gravity was first ①introduced by Issac Newton in the late1600s. The story is told that he watched an apple fall from a tree and developed the idea of ②gravity. From that simple everyday experience, Newton was able to figure out that the same force that made the apple fall kept the moon and the ③planets in their orbits. He said the force of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and their ④distance from each other. People might argue that the apple falling and the moon?s motion are ⑤unrelated. However, as Newton ⑥stated, the moon is also being pulled by the earth?s gravity, and actually falling around the planet. If the moon were not, it would go sailing off into space in a straight line. So gravity holds us on earth and keeps the moon in an orbit around our planet. All the planets of our ⑦solar system are kept in orbits around the sun because of the sun?s gravity. And many of the planets hold moons in orbit because of gravity. Gravity then is more than just the pull towards the center of the earth. It is found throughout the universe and it is ⑧common to all objects, large or small. All things have gravity. The strength of the gravity is determined by the mass of the object. The greater the mass, the stronger the gravitation ⑨attraction that object has. Two objects are attracted to each other, and we speak of the force of the gravity. The strength of that force ⑩is based on the mass of the objects and their distance from each other.

So for any of us in this room today, let's start out by admitting we?re lucky. We don?t live in the world our mothers lived in; our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited. And if you?re in this room today, most of us grew up in a world where we had basic civil rights, and ①amazingly, we still live in a world where some women don?t have them. But all that aside, we still have a problem, and it?s a real problem. And the problem is this: Women are not making it to the top of any profession anywhere in the world. The numbers tell the story quite clearly.190 heads of state - nine are women. Of all the people in ②parliament in the world, 13 percent are women. In the ③corporate sector, women at the top, C-level jobs, board seats --- tops out at 15, 16 percent. The numbers have not moved since 2002 and are going in the wrong direction. And even in the ④non-profit world, a world we sometimes think of as being led by more women, women at the top: 20 percent.
We also have another problem, which is that women face harder choices between professional success and personal ⑤fulfillment. A recent study in the U.S. showed that, of married senior managers, two-thirds of the married men had children and only one-third of the married women had children. So the question is how are we going to fix this? How do we change these numbers at the top? How do we make this different? I want to start out by saying: I talk about this --about keeping women in the workforce --because I really think that?s the answer. In the high-income part of our workforce, in the people who ⑥end up at the top ---Fortune 500 CEO jobs, or the ⑦equivalent in other industries --the problem, I am ⑧convinced, is that women are dropping out. Now people talk about this a lot, and they talk about things like ⑨flextime and mentoring and programs companies should have to train women. I want to talk about none of that today; even though that?s all really important. Today I want to ⑩focus on what we can do as individuals. What are the messages we need to tell ourselves? What are the messages we tell the women who work with and for us? What are the messages we tell our daughters?
