Every year 2．2 million tons of oil are spilled(散落，溅出)into the ocean．Actually．this only amounts to a small percentage of the total 1．6 billion tons of oil shipped around the world each year．

     However，this spilled oil has terrible effects on ocean life．including the coastlines where the oil washes up onto shore．Some of the largest spills in history were caused by oil tankers running into each other or by an oil tanker sailing into shallow water and hitting tire bottom of the ocean．After these spills，officials try to discover who or what was at fault to help prevent similar accidents in the

future．

     One of the worst oil spills in history occurred along the Alaskan coastline in 1989 In this accident，42，000 tons of oil spilled from a tanker which resulted in terrible damage to this sensitive natural area．In this spill，the tanker’s captain，who was tired from overwork and drinking alcohol，had gone to take a rest．He gave control of the ship to the third mate．The third mate was unfamiliar with the path the ship took，and he rail the ship onto Blithe Reef．Blithe Reef is a natural underwater rock wall near the Alaskan coast．Damaged by the reef, the ship leaked oil out into the ocean．More than 1，600 kilometers of coastline were affected by the oil spill．Some scientists who studied nature in the area guessed that 580，000 birds and 5，500 otters died when the oil from the spill covered their skin．As well，smaller shellfish and other sea creatures were later eaten by seals，whales，and other animals．

     The most oil ever spilled was actually dumped on purpose as an act of ecological warfare．The term ecological warfare means to fight by doing harm to nature in the area under attack．In 1 990，Iraq sent soldiers into Kuwait and set off the Persian Gulf War．As part of the Iraq war plan，900，000 tons of oil were let out into the Persian Gulf by Iraq．This oil covered 1，500 square kilometers of water in the Persian Gulf．The oil also damaged 650 kilometers of tire coastline of both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia．In some places，oil floating on the water was measured to be 43 centimeters thick．Water birds，water plants，and baby fish were all seriously affected by the oil．The long—term effects of this act on the food chain in the area are bound to cause problems far into the future．

Tight—lipped elders used to say．”It’s not what you want in this world，but what you get” Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things．

    You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house，and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living．If we intend to have friends to dinner，we plan the menu，make a shopping list，decide which food to cook first，and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served．

    Likewise，if you want to find a job，take a sheet of paper，and write a brief account of yourself．In making a blueprint for a job，begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer，you can intelligently plan where to sell your services．

    This account of yourself is actually a sketch(梗概)of your working life and should include education，experience and references．Such an account is valuable．It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews．While talking to you，your could-be employer is deciding whether your education，your experience，and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your ”wares” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner．

    When you love carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires，you have something tangible to sell．Then you are ready to hunt for a job．Get all the possible information about your could—be job．Make inquiries(询问，打听)as to the details regarding the j ob and the firm．Keep your eyes and ears open，and use your own judgment．Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for，and keep in mind：Securing a job is your job now．
