It is common t

11、o hear parents saying, “How could you do this to me after all the sacrifices that I have made for you?”Most parents are driven by love. It is equally common to find children answering, “When did I ever ask you to sacrifice for me?”There is often a grain of truth in childrens words. The truth usually

12、 hurts.Parents often confuse selfless love with sacrifice. In fact, the former is a self-serving act driven by ones desire to live up to ones standards. To sacrifice means to relinquish things of high value for the sake of another thing that one considers being of great value. That sounds so negativ

13、e. However, self serving isnt necessarily negative. It is human to act out of their desire to seek pleasure and avoid pain. To love ones children essentially means accepting them unconditionally. It follows that full acceptance of the children is usually possible only when parents fully accept thems

14、elves. It is no secret that loving the children begins with loving themselves.The sacrifices they make for their children are countless, and Ive tried to put some of those sacrifices here.

In order to solve the

21、problem, a doctor in Sydney, Australia, called Rob Hackett launched a campaign named “ Theatre(手术室) Cap Challenge”- encourage hospital staffs to write their names and roles on their caps.

23、ht I was pointing to the person behind them, because I dont know their names. said Rob. As we all know, doctors are a stressful profession. When faced with life and death, they need to save the patients life for a second. At the moment, effective communications are important.“The Theatre Cap Challen

24、ge is in response to concerns about how easily avoidable mistakes and poor communication are contributing to rising harmful events for our patients.” said Rob. We need to develop systems which reduce mistakes and misunderstanding without causing harm. For this to happen, we need to let everyone know

25、 were human. ”he added On the other hand, from the patients viewpoint, caps with names on them can make patients more unworried.

29、eks.According to Ad Vingerhoets, a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands, who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest o

30、f the World. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. “These are released in response to emotional states,” explains Vingerhoets.Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on e

31、ach other. “Humans are very complex social creatures,” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others,” She says.Vingerhoets agrees, I think that the reason why humans shed tears（流眼泪）has something to

32、do with our childhood, he says. thats the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person. Vingerhoets says this ability could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans wer

33、e living among dangerous animals. Tears were a safer way to get attention. In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help, he says.Vingerhoets and Byhma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry.

37、. The Buried Giant, Ishiguros seventh novel, and his first in a decade, is as risky as it is attractive. It is a sort historical fantasy novel filled with dragons and knights (骑士）丨It is a sort of the surface, but it is also deeply human, rooted in themes fundamental to the human experience: love, hi

38、story, and the ability to remember it all.JANE GAYDUK: How would you cope with the idea of memorya huge theme in The Buried Giant if you were to set a story like that in the age where everything is online?KAZUO ISHIGURO: One of the questions that attract me right nowI suppose these are questions tha

39、t arose in my mind as I was writing The Buried Giant, but there was no room in the book itself for exploring themwould be, where do the memory banks in a modem society exist? And I think that question has gotten really complicated now. Maybe in simpler societies such as the one I describe in The Bur

40、ied Giant I dont think those societies were simple but perhaps they were simpler in terms of this particular questionyou could point to your living memory, what the oldest people still remember about what happened, literally what is handed down.JANE GAYDUK: Do you think this changes the nature of hi

41、story? It used to be written down by a select few people who bad the power to shape stories, but now its almost like every individual participates in shaping history and thought.KAZUO ISHIGURO: If you leave the official account of a nations history, a communitys history, to just a handful of people,

42、 I think thats a more dangerous situation. Particularly if its a handful of people, who are usually the upper levels, who could write the history books and then have those history books taught in schools. Of course skilled, disciplined, and talented historians have always been vital to a society, an

43、d I think theyll continue to be vital to a society, but in some ways I feel encouraged by the fact that so many ordinary people now have the ability to put down their impressions; at least theres the potential that their voices will be assessed and heard.Just as an example, when I was researching Th

44、e Remains of the Day, which is about an English butler (管家），I assumed Id find a lot of accounts by people who had worked in service because thats what an enormous proportion of people in Britain did between the First and Second World War. And I was amazed to find almost . There were scholarly books

45、written by academics about the history of boilers, hut actual personal accounts written by people like that were almost zero. I guess its because people of that class didnt feel it was their place to write things down, and they probably didnt have the tools or the time, or perhaps the education even

46、 to write things down, and so considerable human experience disappeared. I think there is something encouraging about people being able to record things everywhere, but with such a massive amount of data, there need to be very complicated means of controlling it and deciding which becomes the things

47、 that determine the way we remember what we experienced.JANE GAYDUK: On the topic of finishing books, did you write past the official ending of The Buried Giant or was that your natural end? I felt the conclusion was kind of a cliffhanger.KAZUO ISHICURO: I dont really think of the ending as a cliffh

48、anger, but maybe its more ambiguous than I intended. That is the ending I always wanted, though. With all my books, Im aiming for a certain emotion to come over with the book as a whole and usually that is the emotion ending should deliver. I cant deliver that emotion in an earned, proper way unless

49、 the rest of the book has worked, so Im always very aware that the ending is not something I add when the story is finished. For me, the ending for all my books is the arrival point; its what Ive been aiming at all along.1、Ishiguro didnt discuss “the memory banks” in his novel because .Ahe wrote the
