Relationships are an important part of work. Despite (不管) what the work is, how you relate to people influences not only how well you work, but also how you feel about yourself. And how you feel about and treat yourself in tum influences both how you work and how you get along with others. Mills suggests that people take a look at how they use time, which is what life is all about.

Leading scientists have joined the growing chorus of concem ( worry) about govemments and companies rushing into producing biofuels (生物燃料 ) as a solution for global warming, saying that it could be harmful if they do not consider the long-term influence of what they are doing carefully. It is necessary to build standards for the supply system of any green fuel project in order to make sure that there aren"t any side effects on the environment and social structures.
