我觉得

I find it ironic that Tom has a selective memory --- he does

not seem to remember painful experiences in the past, particularly

those of his own doing.

The

runway

felt

different

this

time.

It

startled

him

for

a

brief

moment.

Then

it

all

hit

him

like

a

wet

bale

of

hay.

The

bar

was

set

at

nine

inches

higher than his personal best. That's only one inch off the National

record, he thought. The intensity of the moment filled his mind with

anxiety.

He

began

shaking

the

tension.

It

wasn't

working.

He

became

more

tense. Why was this happening to him now, he thought. He began to get

nervous. Afraid would be a more accurate description. What was he going

to

do?

He

had

never

experienced

these

feelings.

Then

out

of

nowhere,

and

from the deepest depths of his soul, he pictured his mother. Why now?

What was his mother doing in his thoughts at a time like this? It was

simple. His mother always used to tell him when you felt tense, anxious

or even scared, take deep breaths.

Why

are

we

so

quick

to

limit

ourselves?

I

’

m

not

denying

that

most

little

girls

love

dolls

and

most

little

boys

love

videogames,

and

it

may

be

true

that

some

people

favor

side

of

their

brain,

and

others

the

left.

But

how

relevant is that to me, or to anyone, as an individual? Instead of

translating our differences into hard and fast conclusions about the

human brain, why can

’

t we focus instead on how incredibly flexible we

are? Instead of using what we know as a reason why women can

’

t learn

physics, maybe we should consider the possibility that our brains are

more powerful than we imagine.

.

Is

there

a

contrast

between

learning

styles

in

China

and

the

West?

While

we

should

be

careful

to

avoid

exaggerating

the

differences,

they

do

appear

to

exist. In

China,

for

example,

greater

priority

is

given

to

developing

skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand, place more

emphasis

on

promoting

creativity

in

young

children,

leaving

them

to

pick

up

skills

later.

American

parents

tend

to

avoid

rushing

in

to

assist

their

children

as

they

try

to

accomplish

a

task,

thinking

in

better

that

children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach

can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one

’

s parental duties by

those

more

used

to

“

teaching

by

holding

the

hand.

”

Both

approaches

have

their

disadvantages

as

well

as

advantages,

and

it

may

well

be

worthwhile

to

search

for

a

superior

method

that

would

combine

the

best

of

both

worlds.
