And while that might seem obvious, there hasnt been much research to prove the point until now.Some new studies by Rutgers University scientists support the idea strongly, and the experts go on to assume that flowers have flourished on this planet, wit

12、h their beauty evolving in recent thousands of years, partly because humans are so attached to them.In a test, bunches of flowers were sent by florists to 113 men and women in a retirement community. All 113 got flowers and a notebook, but some got them earlier and received a second bunch when the o

13、thers got theirs. By now you can guess the outcome. The more flowers, the more smiles.The results of the studies got the scientists to thinking about how the flower industry of today has evolved into growing things that serve no other purpose than emotional (情感上的) satisfaction. Nature wont even poll

14、inate (授粉) many of the domesticated flowers. Just among roses, there are so many types created by humans that, clearly, flowers arent what they used to be. But its likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.Geneticist (遺傳學家) Terry McGuire suggests that natures prettier

15、flowers got to survive and develop well because people didnt destroy them when they cleared for agriculture. Instead, they grew them and have been doing so for over 5,000 years. “Because theyre a source of pleasure, we take care of them. In that sense theyre like dogs. They are the pets of the plant

16、 world.” McGuire says.Here is one way that might have worked:Many species of flowers that are now planted used to grow only when the ground was disturbed, McGuire explains. “As humans moved into agricultural settings, these flowers would have been weeds.” “These flowers might have been tolerated bec

28、700 adult smokers, she found out that mom quit the right way-by stopping abruptly and completely.In her Study, participants were randomly(隨機地) assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two w

29、eeks. People in both groups used nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy(療法) with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months later, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it-more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Althoug

30、h these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said theyd rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If youre training for a marathon, you wouldnt expect to

31、turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, Well, if I gradually reduce, its like practice,” says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasnt the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them addiction and withdrawal symptoms(

32、脫癮癥狀) before they even reached the day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if youre ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,” says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of

33、 the patients were able to quit, thats acceptable. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.1、What dose Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?AShe qu

37、ings you see and do,” he explained.I was 20 years old, a junior in college, spending a term at the University of London. Charles was a retired traveling salesman. I was staying with him in his cottage in Kendal, located in the Lake District of northern England. It was a one-week homestay the univers

38、ity arranged for us before classes began.I took his advice. I wrote in the notebook every day during the homestay. Back in London, I recorded weekend trips to Wales, Yorkshire, France, and Spain. I commented on my classes, professors, and classmates. I contrasted my life at a small college in the US

39、 with my wandering through the streets of London, my introduction to life in a big city, and my initial travels outside the US. I tracked ideas I had about my life and my future.When I wrote in the notebook, I struggled with a sense of my audience and purpose. Who would read this? Were these writing

40、s just for me, or did I want others to read them? Was I recording events and ideas just as a prompt(提示) to memory, or was there some larger purpose for this daily exercise?I knew I was recording events, thoughts, words that were important to my life. I imagined a future me sitting down to read the p

41、ages. I wondered what it would feel like to read those words later. I wondered where I would be and what my life would be like.I filled the notebook Charles gave me. I bought a new one and filled it. Then another and another. I continued writing in notebooks for four decades. By that time, they fill

42、ed two boxes in my garage.I had reread some of the journals. Specific volumes had provided me with the background I needed for dozens of articles for magazines. But I had never read them all. Recently, I decided to bring my collection of notebooks into my office and replay my life. As I opened the f

43、irst box, I suddenly became nervous would I like the former me described on those pages? There was a risk in opening that first notebook. I did it anyway.Charles had been right. I remembered the big events and the central happenings, but on each page were many details I hadnt retained(保留).The pages

44、revealed highlights from college classes and stories about roommates and friends. I read anxious comments Id written as Id launched my teaching career, learned to write lesson plants, assigned grades for student work, and solved discipline problems. I reflected on my coming marriage, then the weddin

45、g, and eventually the proud moments when I held each of my three girls as a father. I recounted more tripsreturning to Europe, teaching in South America, going on safari(游獵) in Africa, and exploring Greenland. I relived memories of trails hit, rivers crossed, and mountains climbed.The writings in th

46、ose journals framed my life. I hadnt written every day. I often skipped a few days or even weeks, but I always picked up the writing when it felt important. Journals went with me when I traveled, and I often wrote in them at school when my own students were writing.It took several long evenings to r

47、ead through the notebooks, taking me on tour spanning(持續(xù)) 42 years. As I read I could recall sitting on a bench in Trafalgar Square in London or in our apartment in Peru to write to the future me. It was then that I realized: I am now the person I was writing to throughout those years.1、What can we

52、to face silence in conversation is an important skill, especially when working across cultures.In international negotiations, experienced negotiator (談判者) stay silent and impassive on purpose because that will make others feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to do anything

53、. Americans especially cant stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations.So, whats the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Dont offer a compromise just because they are not speaking. If you have to say something, as

54、k a direct question, such as “Whats your initial reaction to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “Lets come back to that in a minute and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”In presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion (熱情). Befo

55、re starting, look at the audience and be silent for a moment because that says, “Im in control. I know what Im doing. Im confident.”A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduced with many pauses so that you didnt miss his key points. Because silence

56、makes us nervous, our natural reaction is that wed better pay attention, theres something going on here.Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If you keep talking youre spoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emoti

57、onal response and to start thinking consciously and processing.Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give yourself the time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of silence in Finland and also among the Blackfe

58、et Nation, a North American Indian tribe in northern Montana in the US, we can see benefits far beyond wheeling and dealing.Silence can be a very powerful point for understanding ourselves, understanding others, for developing better common understanding and more productive outcomes and that applies

59、 to business, politics, education, law, medicine, every area of human life.1、What is most likely to be Americans idea?ASpeaking less gives the upper hand.BThe shorter talking gaps are, the better.CA silent man is the best one to listen to.DSpeak out what you have in your mind.2、What is the purpose o
