谦虚并非故意自贬身价,做客套应酬,像虚伪者所常表现的假面孔;它是起于自知之明,知道自己所已知的比起世间所可知的非常渺小,未知世界随着已知世界扩大,愈前走发现天边愈远。他发现宇宙的无边无底,对之不能不起崇高雄伟之感,反观自己渺小,就不能不起谦虚之感。谦虚必起于自我渺小的意识,谦虚者的心目中必有一种为自己所不知不能的高不可攀的东西,老是要抬着头去望它。这东西可以是全体宇宙,可以是圣贤豪杰,也可以是一个崇高的理想。一个人必须见地高远,知道天高地厚才能真正地谦虚,不知道天高地厚的人就老是觉得自己伟大,海若未曾望洋,就以为“天下之美尽在己”。谦虚有它消极方面,就是自我渺小的意识;也有它积极方面,就是高远的瞻瞩与恢阔的胸襟。
央广网西宁4月9日消息(记者章成霞 刘泽耕)据中国之声《新闻纵横》报道,东经93.05度,北纬35.13度,海拔4612.2米。这是全球第二高海拔气象站一青海省 五道梁气象站的坐标。从格尔木出发,沿青藏公路向西南方向行进.翻越连绵纵横的昆仑山脉,进入广表无垠的可可西里无人区,五道梁气象站就在那里。五道梁地高天寒,气候多变,含氧量仅为海平面的50%左右,迄今没有建政,没有常住居民,公路两旁零星的饭馆和修车销也都随季节迁徙。 “过了五道梁,难见爹和娘”是流传在青藏线上的谚语。高原反应是五道梁给每位初来乍到者的“下马威”。
通常而言,即便是同一种植物,冬季和夏季的抗冻能力也不一样在夏季活动期多不耐寒,在冬季休眠期则更为耐寒。这是因为春夏季节,植物生长旺盛,养分消耗多于积累,因而其抗冻能力较弱。如北方的梨树,在-30~-2℃低温下能平安越冬,在春天却抵挡不住微寒的袭击;松树的针叶,冬天能耐30℃的严寒,夏天如果人为地降温到一8℃就会冻死,就是这个道理。
