15、nlikely to succeed in college and often feel that there have been no accomplishments in their lives. In my first year of college especially, I saw people get themselves down all too quickly. There were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately. From that da

16、y on, they walked into the classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks under their arms. Both students hang on until about mid-term. When they disappeared for good, no one took much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit after that first test. Th

17、ey are not the only people in whom I have seen the self-doubt do its work. I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say: “You are not dead. Be proud and pleased that you have brought yourself here to college. Be someone. Breathe. Hope. Act.” Such people should not use self-doubts as a

22、lly shaken by my wifes intuition. We were looking for a second-hand car, and I had been much taken by a rather nice drop-head with a well-cared-for appearance. “Well, she runs nicely,” I told my wife after the try-out. “Good start-up, the engine sounds sweet, low mileage and the right price. What do

23、 you think?” “I dont like it.” “Why not?” “I dont know. There is just something about the salesman that I dont believe.” A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and been cle

24、verly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk. Of all the things about women that their husbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can she often be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge?

29、ngPassage Three A head nod for approval and a headshake for refusal are not universal. But they are worth studying because they are very common across many cultures in the world. Most biologists agree with Charles Darwin. They believe that the two gestures are developed from a babys nursing habit. t

30、he forward head nod is seen as part of the breast seeking or breast-accepting habit. The head shaking gesture is thought as the babys habit of refusal. The refusal habit, of course, lasts into later years. When the child says “no” to the offered food, he shakes his head. The biological explanation s

31、uggests that the approving nod may be connected to the nursing habit of the babyhood. On the other hand, it also suggests that the refusal headshake may come form the shake-off movement of birds and animals. We may learn the way from animals to refuse. For example, a wet dog shakes off the water he

32、doesnt want. When we refuse an unwelcome idea, we do it in the same way. However, these new suggestions do not at all disprove the nursing theory. In addition, children who are born deaf and blind naturally follow the habit. this also helps support the nursing theory. This means the difference of ye
