．The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of

a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson.

5. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I

had to accept the fact that I was co-

opting my daughter’s experience.

6. While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly

follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to

help if asked.

7. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no

matter how much we might like to think so.

8. Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of

us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while

you are trying to capture a

fleeting

(

稍纵即逝的

) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the

fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand.

You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking

that it is.

9. The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is

what Elbow calls “free writing.”

10. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be

captured on your notepad or your screen.

11. Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that

you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly.

12. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will

end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.

13. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to

work in a field dominated by men.

14. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain

versus

(

相对于

) right brain, or

nature versus

nurture

(

培育

), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.

15. Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually

become my reply to any and all provocations: I don’

t talk about that anymore.

16. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to

deal with gender issues.

17. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of

tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and

purity.

18. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better

than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.

19. According to an article in

The Street Journal

, some of the more shameless tactics include

placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices,

and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.

20. Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better

health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.

21. As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing

disease to preventing disease

—

especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors,

such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise.

22. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who

feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding

worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who

has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired.

23. The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely

“not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs.

24. In r

ecent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and

“wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health.

25. Even people who have a physical disease or

handicap

(

缺陷) may be “well,” in this new

sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their
