20、 i had sent my mother to florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. its my fault that she died.” at the second home, the son said, “if only i had not insisted her going to florida, she would be alive today. that long airplane ride was more than she could take. it is

21、my fault.” when things dont turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opp

22、osite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better. after all, how could it have turned out any worse? there seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. the first lies in our belief that the world makes sensethere is a reason for everything that happens

23、. the second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. the roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. a baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. he wakes up in the morning and calls

46、gs. but new research in january by brice noonan and jack sites suggested that iguanas may have simply walked to fiji and tonga when the islands were still a part of an ancient southern supercontinent. the ancient supercontinent was made up of present-day africa, australia, antarctica and parts of as

47、ia. if thats the case, the island species would need to be very old. using “molecular (分子) clock” analysis of living iguanas dna, noonan and sites found that, sure enough, the lineage of iguanas has been around for more than 60 million yearseasily old enough to have been in the area when the islands

48、 were still connected by land bridges to asia or australia. fossils (化石) uncovered in mongolia suggest that iguanid ancestors did once live in asia. though theres currently no fossil evidence of iguanas in australia, that doesnt necessarily mean they were never there. “the fossil record of this cont

49、inent is surprisingly poor and cannot be taken as evidence of true absence,” the authors write. so if the iguanas simply walked to fiji and tonga from asia or possibly australia, why are they not also found on the rest of the pacific islands? noonan and sites say fossil evidence suggests that iguana

50、 species did once inhabit other islands, but went extinct right around the time when humans settled in those islands. but fiji and tonga have a much shorter history of human presence, which may have helped the iguanas living there to escape extinction. the researchers say that their study cant compl

55、ds?ehow to apologize properly is much more difficult than we think. provided you want to teach your children to apologize, you must be good at saying sorry yourself, especially to your own children. but how you say it can be quite tricky.if you say to your children “im sorry i got angry with you, bu

56、t ” what follows that “but” can make the apology ineffective: “i had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache ” leaves the person feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “im sorry youre upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific
