California Gives Green
Light to Space Solar Power
Energy
beamed down from space is one step closer to
reality, now that California has given the green
light to an agreement that
would see
the Pacific Gas and Electric Company buy 200
megawatt(
兆瓦
) of power beamed
down from solar-power satellites
beginning in 2016. But some major
challenges will have to be overcome if the
technology is to be used widely.
A start-up company called
Solaren is designing the satellites which it says
will use radio waves to beam energy down to a
receiving station on Earth.
The attraction of
collecting solar power in space is the almost
uninterrupted sunshine available in geosynchronous
(
与地
球同步的
) orbit.
Earth-based solar cells, by contrast, can only
collect sun-light during daytime and when skies
are clear.
But
space-based solar power must
grapple(
努力克服
) with the high
cost per kilogram of launching things into space,

Schwartz

Rising College Selectivity
Rising college selectivity
doesn't mean that students are smarter and more
serious than in the past. It's a function of
excess
demand for higher education
occurring at a time of increased financial
privatization of the industry.
The
recession
has
only
increased
demand.
The
vast
majority
of
students
aren't
going
to
college
because
of
a
thirst
for
knowledge They're there
because they need a job, and they need to get the
credentials and one hopes, the knowledge and
skills
behind the credentials-that will
get them into the labor market.
As higher education has
become a seller's market, the institutions in a
position to do so are doing what comes naturally:
raising their tuitions and their
admissions requirements but at the expense of
contributing to the national goal to increase
college
attainment. The result is that
the United States is losing ground in the
international race for educational talent.
The increasing
stratification of higher education is happening on
the spending side, as well. As the selective
institutions
have become more expensive
and less attainable the rest have had to struggle
with the responsibility to enroll more students
without being paid to do so. Gaps
between rich and poor have grown even more
dramatically than gaps in entering test scores.
While spending is a poor measure of
educational quality, we can't seriously expect to
increase educational attainment if we're
not prepared to do something to address
these growing inequities in funding.
That said, the educational
policy problem in our country is not that the
elite institutions are becoming more selective.
The
problem
is
on
the
public
policy
side.
The
president
and
many
governors
have
set
a
goal
to
return
America
to
a
position
of
international leadership in educational
attainment.
It's the right goal, we just need a
financing strategy to get doesn't mean just more
money although some more
money will be
needed. It also means better attention to
effectiveness and educational attainment. We know
how to do it,if we
want to.

Boredom at Work
__
①
__
You might find yourself staring at the clock
willing it to move faster so the boring workday
will finally end. If
your job offers
little in the way of stimulation, there are steps
you can take inside and outside the workplace.
__
②
__ If you're
bored with your job it could be a sign that you've
mastered the basic requirements and are ready for
more
of
a
challenge.
You
might
not
have
been
in
your
position
long
enough
to
request
a
promotion.
Still
you
can
take
steps
to
enhance
your
current
role.
Ask
your
boss
if
there
are
any
projects
you
can
help
with.
Volunteer
to
train
less
experienced
colleagues.
You'll feel more stimulated at work and also
increase your chances of future advancement.
__
③
__
If
you
feel
there
is
nothing
left
to
learn
in
your
present
position,
take
steps
to
increase
your
knowledge.
Your
company's website might
have online courses you can take during your slow
periods, with your. manager's permission. Enroll
in training classes your company offers
in areas that interest you. You also can pursue
educational opportunities outside of the
workplace,
such
as
college
classe
industry-specific
training
programs
or
self-
improvement
courses.
If
the
knowledge
you
acquire doesn't help you in your
present position it might eventually help you move
into a more fulfilling position.
__
④
__
Look for ways to challenge yourself. If your job
involves performing repetitive tasks set a quota
for the number of
times you can
accomplish a particular task during the course of
a shift. This will give you something to shoot
for. If you have
co-workers who perform
the same tasks make a friendly wager to see who
can do the most. You'll form stronger bonds with
your colleagues, and your employer is
likely to notice your increased productivity.
__
⑤
__ According
to psychotherapist and career coach Nina Ham
boredom at work might be a symptom of
dissatisfaction
with your personal
life. Finding sources of stimulation outside of
work can have a positive impact on your attitude
toward your
job. Seeking counseling for
an emotional issue can also be of benefit. If your
personal life is going well and nothing you try
seems to improve your engagement level
at work,it might
