26、l thing? It is volcanoes（火山）, of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place.

27、thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaiis biggest exports.

28、 Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there.

33、ation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a different learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspect

34、s of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers students who do better than their test scores show usually have a positive int

35、erest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate（补偿）, they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers those who function below their ability

36、shown by test scores often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-ac

37、hievers.If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling

38、 you that a computer is different to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.26.
