There are many things in the world, which are beyond the means of money, such as friendship, love, health and knowledge. People are so preoccupied with struggling for money that they have no time or would not take the time to form or maintain friendship. What happiness can they feel living as lonely miserable creatures without love or friends in the world even if they accumulate tremendous wealth?In my opinion, people can’t do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will add to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word,you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.Step 8 Homework4 students in a group, one acts Roderick, one Oliver, one servant and the fourth one acts Henry Adams, then listen to the tape, pay more attention to the difference between American English and British English in pronunciation, stress, tone.

生：环境承载力是指环境能持续供养的人口数量。师：对了。但是有同学仍然会感到这是一个很抽象的概念。下面我们具体来了解什么是环境承载力。我们可以从两个部分去理解：一、环境，它主要是指环境的单个要素（如：土地、水、气候、植被等。）及其组合方式。二、是承载力，它指在特定的条件下，具体某事物能承受的某种活动的最大值。那环境承载力的科学定义是怎样表达的呢？生：环境承载力是指某一时期，某种状态条件下，某地区环境所能承受的人类活动作用的阈值。师：很对。 我们可以用一个生动的例子来说明。一只木桶里面的水的多少在底面积固定不变的情况下是由哪块木板来决定？生：最短的那块。师：确实如此。这就是我们平常所讲的 “木桶效应”。那影响环境承载力的大小也是由环境个要素里面最紧缺的那个要素来决定的。下面我们用一个例子来印证一下。

思考：洗衣机脱水时转速高时容易甩干衣物，还是转速低时容易甩干衣物？(2) 制作棉花糖的原理内筒与洗衣机的脱水筒相似，里面加入白砂糖，加热使糖熔化成糖汁。内筒高速旋转，黏稠的糖汁就做离心运动，从内筒壁的小孔飞散出去，成为丝状到达温度较低的外筒，并迅速冷却凝固，变得纤细雪白，像一团团棉花。5.离心现象的防止在水平公路上行驶的汽车，转弯时所需的向心力是由车轮与路面的静摩擦力提供的。如果转弯时速度过大，所需向心力F大于最大静摩擦力Fmax，汽车将做离心运动而造成交通事故。因此，在公路弯道处，车辆行驶不允许超过规定的速度。当高速转动的砂轮或者飞轮内部分子间相互作用力不足以提供所需向心力时，离心运动就会使他们破裂，甚至酿成事故。
