13、ou have to stop for them。 In practice, lots of people forget this and either wait for each other while both drivers try to remember what to do, or beep （鸣喇叭) at each other if both try to go at the same time!When you drive round a roundabout， you should check all your mirrors.

He told Guana about his job helping students and teachers。 And he said， “Well if you dont giv

23、e up， youll get there。” Guana did get there， and two men remain friends。 But before Guana became a school principal， he followed in Nikes footsteps and become a cleaner。 He worked for three schools in Lodi， California， which helped him earn the money needed for his first two years of college. He ear

24、ned a high-level university education and gained a doctors degree。 Then he worked as a campus safety officer, teacher， counselor， administrator, and now superintendent.Even though Guana has had a successful career, he never forgets where he came from， or how he felt.

32、he happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face， the researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions。They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time

33、to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to back away quickly. However， once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer “game” that scientists had a

34、hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed。The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly。 Since the touched screen models were all females, this confirmed what had been observed in previous stu

But differences that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb （麻木的)to new stimulation （刺激), new ideas。 Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple， although it takes practice a

40、nd requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs.
