The
real
act
of
discovery
is
not
in
finding
new
lands,
but
in
seeing
with
new
eyes.
—Marcel
Proust
As
a
young
social
worker
in
a
New
York
City
psychiatric
(精神病的)
clinic,
I
was
asked
to
see
Roz,
a
twenty-year-old
woman
who
had
been
sent
to
us
from
another
psychiatric
facility.
It
was
a(n)
16
case,
because
no
information
was
received
ahead
of
her
first
appointment.
I
was
told
to
figure
out
by
myself
what
her
17
were
and
what
she
needed.
18
a
diagnosis
(诊断)
to
go
on,
I
saw
Roz
as
an
unhappy,
misunderstood
young
woman
who
hadn’t
been
listened
to
in
her
earlier
treatment.
Her
family
situation
was
unpleasant.
I
didn’t
see
her
as
disturbed,
19
as
lonely
and
misunderstood.
She
responded
so
positively
to
being
heard.
I
worked
with
her
to
start
a
life
worth
living—to
find
a
job,
a
satisfying
place
to
live
and
new
20
.
We
got
along
well,
and
she
started
making
great
21
in
her
life
right
away.
The
records
from
the
22
psychiatric
facility
arrived
a
month
after
Roz
and
I
began
our
successful
work
together.
To
my
complete
23
,
her
records
were
several
inches
thick,
describing
a
number
of
psychiatric
hospital
stays.
Her
diagnosis
was
“paranoid
schizophrenic,”
with
a
comment
on
her
being
“hopeless”.
That
had
not
been
my
experience
with
Roz
at
all.
I
decided
to
24
those
pieces
of
paper.
I
never
treated
her
as
if
she
had
that
“hopeless”
diagnosis.
It
was
a
lesson
for
me
in
25
the
value
and
certainty
of
diagnoses.
I
did
find
out
about
the
horrors
for
Roz
of
being
treated
badly.
I
also
learned
a
lot
from
her
about
26
such
upsetting
circumstances.
First
Roz
found
a
job,
then
a
place
to
live
away
from
her
27
family.
After
several
months
of
working
together,
she
introduced
me
to
her
husband-to-be,
a
successful
businessman
who
loved
her
very
much.
When
her
treatment
was
28
,
Roz
gave
me
the
gift
of
a
silver
bookmark
and
a
note
that
said,
“Thank
you
for
29
me.”
I
have
carried
that
note
with
me
and
I
will
for
the
rest
of
my
life
to
remind
me
of
the
stand
I
take
for
people,
thanks
to
one
brave
woman’s
30
over
a
“hopeless”
diagnosis.

A
A
Hug
from
a
Teenage
Boy
Fifteen
years
spent
in
the
field
of
education
have
provided
Nancy
Marra
with
many
treasured
moments.
One
of
the
most
endearing
happened
when
she
was
teaching
second
grade.
That
year,
she
decided
to
plan
something
special
for
the
children:
a
Mother’s
Day
tea.
After
all
the
preparations
were
made
for
it,
each
child
took
home
an
invitation.
Nancy
was
surprised
and
relieved
to
see
that
every
mother
was
planning
to
attend.
She
even
invited
her
own
mother.
Finally,
the
day
arrived.
That
afternoon,
each
child
lined
up
at
the
classroom
door
expecting
the
arrival
of
his
or
her
mom.
As
it
got
closer
to
starting
time,
Nancy
looked
around
and
her
eyes
quickly
found
Jimmy.
His
mother
hadn’t
shown
up
and
he
was
looking
upset.
Nancy
took
her
mother
by
the
hand
and
walked
over
to
Jimmy.
“Jimmy,”
Nancy
said,
“I
have
a
bit
of
a
problem
here
and
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
help
out.
Since
I’m
going
to
be
really
busy
today,
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
keep
my
mother
company.”
Nancy’s
mom
and
Jimmy
sat
at
a
table
with
two
other
mother-child
pairs.
Jimmy
served
Nancy’s
mom
her
treats,
presented
her
with
the
gift
Nancy
had
made,
and
pulled
out
and
pushed
in
her
chair,
just
as
they
had
practiced
the
day
before.
Whenever
Nancy
looked
over,
her
mom
and
Jimmy
were
in
deep
conversation.
Ten
years
later,
Nancy
was
at
a
high
school
to
take
a
senior
class
on
a
field
trip,
and
there
was
Jimmy.
On
the
way
back,
Nancy
had
the
students
complete
an
evaluation
form
of
their
trip.
She
collected
and
checked
the
forms
one
by
one.
When
she
came
to
Jimmy’s
evaluation
page,
he
had
written,
“Remember
our
Mother’s
Day
tea
we
had
in
second
grade,
Mrs.
Marra?
I
do!
Thanks
for
all
you
did
for
me,
and
thank
your
mother,
too.”
As
they
began
unloading
at
the
school,
Jimmy
made
sure
he
was
the
last
one
to
go.
Nancy
told
him
she
really
enjoyed
what
he
had
written.
He
looked
rather
embarrassed,
mumbled
(咕哝)
his
own
thanks,
and
then
turned
to
walk
away.
As
the
bus
driver
began
pulling
the
bus
away,
Jimmy
ran
back
and
knocked
on
the
bus
door.
He
jumped
back
on
board
and
gave
Nancy
a
big
hug.
“Thanks
again,
Mrs.
Marra.
No
one
even
knew
my
mom
didn’t
make
it
that
day!”
She
ended
her
workday
with
a
hug
from
a
teenage
boy
who
had
probably
stopped
hugging
teachers
years
ago.
31.

was
Jimmy
paired
with
Nancy’s
mother?
A.
Nancy
was
too
busy
to
spend
time
with
her.
B.
Jimmy’s
mother
didn’t
come
to
the
event.
C.
Nancy
wanted
Jimmy
to
get
to
know
her.
D.
Jimmy
could
get
along
well
with
her.

did
Jimmy
meet
Nancy
ten
years
later?
A.
Near
Jimmy’s
high
school.
B.
At
a
Mother’s
Day
tea.
C.
In
Nancy’s
classroom.
D.
On
a

trip.

If
you
had
the
opportunity
to
live
forever,
would
you
take
it?
Keeping
your
body
alive
indefinitely
still
seems
like
an
impossibility,
but
some
scientists
think
that
digital
technology
may
have
the
answer:
creating
a
digital
copy
of
your
“self”
and
keeping
it
“alive”
online
long
after
your
physical
body
has
ceased
to
function.
In
effect,
the
proposal
is
to
clone
a
person
electronically.
Unlike
the
familiar
physical
clones—children
that
have
identical
features
as
their
parents,
but
that
are
completely
separate
organisms
with
a
separate
life—your
electronic
clone
would
believe
itself
to
be
you.
How
might
this
be
possible?
The
first
step
would
be
to
map
the
brain.
(
neuron
)
How?
One
plan
relies
on
the
development
of
nanotechnology
(纳米技术).
Ray
Kurzweil—one
of
the
kings
of
artificial
intelligence—predicts
that
within
two
or
three
decades
we
will
have
nano
transmitters
that
can
be
put
into
the
bloodstream.
In
the
capillaries
(毛细血管)
of
the
brain,
they
would
line
up
alongside
the
neurons
and
detect
the
details
of
the
cerebral
(大脑的)
electronic
activity.
They
would
be
able
to
(
helmet
)send
that
information
to
a
receiver
inside
a
special
helmet,
so
there
would
be
no
need
for
any
wires
sticking
out
of
the
head.
As
a
further
step,
Ray
Kurzweil
also
imagines
the
nano
transmitters
being
able
to
connect
you
to
a
world
of
virtual
reality
on
the
Internet,
similar
to
what
was
shown
in
the
film
“Matrix”.
With
the
nano
transmitters
in
place,
by
thought
alone,
you
could
log
on
to
the
Internet
and
instead
of
the
pictures
coming
up
on
your
screen,
they
would
play
inside
your
mind.
Rather
than
send
your
friends
e-mails
you
would
agree
to
meet
up
on
some
virtual
tropical
beach.
Some
people
believe
that
they
can
enjoy
life
after
death.
But
why
wait
for
that
when
you
could
have
a
shot
of
nanobots
(纳米机器人)
and
upload
your
brain
onto
the
Internet
and
live
forever
as
a
virtual
surfer?
One
snag:
to
exist
on
the
net
you
will
have
to
have
your
neural
network
parked
on
the
computer
of
a
web-hosting
company.
These
companies
want
real
money
in
real
bank
accounts
every
year
or
they
will
wipe
your
bit
of
the
hard
disc
and
sell
the
space
to
someone
else.
With
your
body
six
feet
underground
how
will
you
pay?
39.
Which
of
the
following
statements
is
TRUE
according
to
the
passage?
A.
Nano
transmitters
can
help
map
the
human
brain.
B.
Electronic
clones
recreate
the
original
human
body.
C.
Electronic
clones
may
put
their
physical
selves
into
movies.
D.
Nano
transmitters
use
a
helmet
to
detect
the
cerebral
activities.
40.
What
is
the
author’s
attitude
towards
electronic
clones?
A.
Optimistic
and
careful.
B.
Interested
and
unconvinced.
C.
Excited
and
confused.
D.
Assured
and
critical.
41.
The
author
asks
“how
will
you
pay?”
at
the
end
of
the
article,
because
________.
A.
you
can’t
pay
to
exist
on
the
Internet
if
you
are
physically
dead
B.
you
can’t
pay
for
hard
disc
space
if
you
don’t
have
a
bank
account
C.
you
can’t
pay
for
a
special
service
if
too
many
people
want
to
use
it
D.
you
can’t
pay
the
web-hosting
company
if
you
don’t
have
a
neural
network
D
Every
day,
millions
of
shoppers
hit
the
stores
in
full
force,
searching
wildly
for
the
perfect
gift.
Aside
from
purchasing
holiday
gifts,
most
people
regularly
buy
presents
for
other
occasions
throughout
the
year,
including
weddings,
birthdays,
anniversaries,
and
graduations.
This
frequent
experience
of
gift-giving
can
cause
uncertain
feelings
in
gift-givers.
Many
enjoy
the
opportunity
to
buy
presents
because
gift-giving
offers
a
powerful
means
to
build
stronger
bonds,
while
many
worry
that
their
purchases
will
disappoint
rather
than
delight
the
intended
recipients
(接受者).
Anthropologists
describe
gift-giving
as
a
positive
social
process,
serving
various
political,
religious,
and
psychological
functions.
Economists,
however,
offer
a
less
favorable
view.
According
to
Waldfogel,
gift-giving
represents
an
objective
waste
of
resources.
People
buy
gifts
that
recipients
would
not
choose
to
buy
on
their
own,
or
at
least
not
spend
as
much
money
to
purchase
(a
phenomenon
referred
to
as
‘‘the
deadweight
loss
of
Christmas”).
What
is
surprising
is
that
gift-givers
have
much
experience
acting
as
both
gift-givers
and
gift-recipients,
but
nevertheless
tend
to
overspend
each
time
they
set
out
to
purchase
a
meaningful
gift.
In
the
present
research,
we
propose
a
unique
psychological
explanation
for
this
overspending
problem—gift-givers
link
how
much
they
spend
with
how
much
recipients
will
appreciate
the
gift.
Though
it
seems
natural
to
gift-givers,
such
an
assumption
may
be
unfounded.
Indeed,
we
propose
that
gift-recipients
will
be
less
likely
to
base
their
feelings
of
appreciation
on
the
value
of
a
gift
than
givers
assume.
Why
do
gift-givers
assume
that
gift
price
is
closely
linked
to
gift-recipients’
feelings
of
appreciation?
Perhaps
givers
believe
that
more
expensive
gifts
communicate
a
stronger
sense
of
thoughtfulness
and
consideration.
According
to
Camerer
and
others,
gift-giving
represents
a
symbolic
ritual
(习俗),
by
which
gift-givers
attempt
to
signal
their
positive
attitudes
towards
the
recipient
and
their
willingness
to
invest
resources
in
a
future
relationship.
In
this
sense,
gift-givers
may
be
motivated
to
spend
more
money
on
a
gift
in
order
to
send
a
“stronger
signal”.
As
for
gift-recipients,
they
may
not
interpret
smaller
and
larger
gifts
as
representing
smaller
and
larger
signals
of
thoughtfulness
and
consideration.
The
idea
of
gift-givers
and
gift-recipients
being
unable
to
account
for
the
other
party’s
viewpoint
seems
confusing
because
people
slip
in
and
out
of
these
roles
every
day.
Yet,
despite
the
experience
as
both
givers
and
receivers,
people
often
struggle
to
apply
information
gained
from
one
role
in
another.
In
theoretical
terms,
people
fail
to
use
information
about
their
own
preferences
and
experiences
to
produce
more
efficient
outcomes
in
their
exchange
relations.
In
practical
terms,
people
spend
hundreds
of
dollars
each
year
on
gifts,
but
somehow
never
learn
to
estimate
their
gift
expense
according
to
personal
insight.

When
It
Rains
in
Boston,
the
Sidewalks
Reveal
Poetry
If
you’re
walking
through
Boston
during
a
downpour,
make
sure
to
keep
your
eyes
on
the
sidewalk.
You
might
just
see
a
poem
appear
before
your
eyes.
For
nearly
a
year,
Bostonians
wandering
the
city
streets
in
the
rain
may
have
come
across
poems
written
on
the
sidewalk.
Titled
“Raining
Poetry”,
this
art
program
was
a
partnership
between
the
nonprofit
Mass
Poetry
and
the
city
of
Boston.
The
first
poems
were
written
to
celebrate
the
start
of
National
Poetry
Month.
Several
more
were
added
to
the
city’s
streets.
Created
using
patterns
and
a
water-proof
spray
(喷剂),
the
poems
are
invisible
during
dry,
sunny
weather,
but
appear
like
magic
once
raindrops
start
falling
from
the
sky.
“We
want
to
bring
poetry
to
the
people,”
Sara
Siegel,
program
director
for
the
nonprofit
Mass
Poetry
said.
The
poems
were
selected
by
Danielle
Legros
Georges,
Boston’s
poet
laureate.
Georges
selected
the
poems,
which
were
distributed
throughout
the
city,
based
on
their
relationship
to
Boston,
as
well
as
the
general
themes
of
water
and
rain.
“I
wanted
to
draw
work
from
poets
influential
in
Boston’s
literary,
educational,
or
cultural
areas,”
Georges
said
in
a
statement.
The
poems
were
put
on
the
streets
by
members
of
the
Mayor’s
Mural
Crew.
The
Mural
Crew
uses
a
biodegradable
spray
and
simple
cardboard
patterns.
The
poems
can
be
put
on
the
sidewalk
in
minutes,
and
wear
away
in
six
to
eight
weeks.
However,
the
city
of
Boston
and
Mass
Poetry
plan
on
carpeting
city
sidewalks
with
more
poems.
“It’s
a
public
art
project—as
the
poems
are
and
will
be
put
at
public
sites
in
Boston,
and
meant
for
everyone,”
Georges
said.
“I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
way
to
bring
poetry
to
the
people.”
The
poems
appear
throughout
the
city.
They
are
in
neighborhoods
from
Hyde
Park
to
Roslindale.
While
all
of
the
poems
are
presently
written
in
English,
Siegel
hopes
to
add
new
ones
in
the
languages
that
are
spoken
throughout
Boston,
like
Portuguese,
Haitian
Creole
and
Spanish.
“Our
hope
is
that
in
the
next
two
years,
everyone
in
the
city
will
come
across
a
poem
in
their
daily
lives
at
least
once
or
twice
a
month,”
Siegel
said.
“This
is
a
fun
and
unusual
way
to
do
that.”
So,
if
you’re
out
and
about
in
Boston
the
next
time
it
rains,
keep
an
eye
on
the
ground:
You
might
just
spot
a
poem
shining
under
the
raindrops.

One
possible
version:
Dear
Jim,
I’m
sorry
to
hear
that
you
are
wrestling
with
the
problems
caused
by
the
school
transfer,
but
I
assure
you
things
will
get
better.
Last
year,
I
transferred
to
Hongxing
School.
As
far
as
entering
a
new
school
goes,
making
new
friends
was
the
biggest
challenge;
I
missed
my
baseball
teammates
so
much.
I
also
had
trouble
with
my
studies.
Completing
those
extensive
reading
assignments
on
my
tight
schedule
became
a
real
headache.
I
talked
with
my
parents
and
teachers
about
my
concerns.
They
encouraged
me
to
take
the
initiative
to
reach
out.
Soon,
I
was
making
friends
with
my
new
schoolmates
and
getting
involved
in
various
activities.
My
academic
performance
also
benefited
from
my
newfound
confidence.
So,
don’t
worry
too
much.
Before
you
know
it,
you’ll
have
dozens
of
friends.
Trust
me,
you’ll
fit
in
soon.

good
dancer.M:
Well,

What
draws
you
to
Argentina,
Annie?W:
I
think
it
is
the
most
ideal
place
for
me.
It
has
the
perfect
type
of
agricultural
practices,
economy
and
environmental
conditions.
It
is
the
best
place
for
me
to
do
some
research
on
farming.
M:
I
hate
to
tell
you
that
the
program
in
Argentina
is
only
for
Spanish
majors.
And
the
Spanish
Department
is
pretty
strict
about
that.
I
can’t
remember
the
last
time
a
student
who
wasn’t
a
Spanish
major
was
able
to
go
there.W:
That
doesn’t
seem
fair!
I
can
speak
a
little
Spanish
if
I
have
to.
Is
there
anything
I
can
do?
I
mean,
I
could
sign
up
for
a
Spanish
course
or
talk
to
the
director
of
the
Spanish
Department.M:
Well,
I
think
you’d
better
write
an
application
letter
first
and
then
I’ll
help
give
it
to
the
person
in
charge
of
this
program.
W:
OK.
I’ll
do
it
right
away.

M:
Look
what
I’ve
just
bought!
The
perfect
present
for
my
cousin—a
blind
box!W:
So,
what
is
a
blind
box
anyway?
M:
It
is
called
“blind
box”
because
you
don’t
know
what’s
inside
it.
You
buy
one,
open
it
and
then
you
get
a
surprise
toy.
W:
I
don’t
get
it.
Don’t
you
think
it’s
a
little
too
risky?
I
mean,
why
not
just
buy
a
toy
that
you
can
see
and
touch
directly?
M:
Well,
you
are
right,
but
you
know
sometimes
there
is
a
secret
toy
in
some
collections.
People
believe
that
if
they
buy
multiple
boxes,
they’ll
have
a
good
chance
to
get
a
one-of-a-kind
toy.
W:
So,
actually
people
are
not
just
buying
blind
boxes.
They
are
buying
the
feeling
of
surprise.M:
Indeed,
they
love
the
moment
they
open
one
and
see
what’s
in
it.
After
all,
you’ll
never
know
until
you
buy
one.W:
Fine.
But
I
would
probably
never
lay
a
hand
on
a
blind
box!
They
sound
too
addictive!

I
believe
that
many
of
you
watching
this
video
have
just
bought
your
first
apartment.
I’m
sure
you’re
excited
about
having
your
own
home
but
a
little
bit
anxious
about
decorating
it.
Today
I
would
like
to
share
some
tips
on
how
to
decorate
your
new
home.
If
you
can
determine
the
decoration
style
you
want
for
your
home,
you’re
half
way
there!
Otherwise,
nothing
would
match
inside
your
home
and
you
would
waste
a
lot
of
time
and
money
on
things
that
end
up
feeling
“wrong”.
There
are
currently
some
trendy
styles,
such
as
one
that
focuses
on
simplicity
with
less
color
design
as
well
as
a
more
industrial
style,
which
is
highlighted
by
cool
color
tones.
Then
break
down
your
home
decorating
plan,
one
room
at
a
time.
The
fastest
way
to
go
crazy
in
your
empty
home
is
by
decorating
the
whole
house
at
the
same
time.
Prioritize
what
rooms
are
most
important
and
make
a
decorating
plan
room
by
room!
Maybe
you’ll
want
to
start
with
your
kitchen
or
the
living
room.When
all
the
walls
are
painted
and
the
floors
installed,
you
can
start
to
choose
your
furniture.
Be
sure
to
measure
for
the
size
you
want
before
you
walk
into
furniture
stores.
Though
both
online
and
physical
shops
are
available,
I
still
recommend
you
go
to
the
nearest
physical
store,
so
that
you
can
see
the
products
with
your
own
eyes.
Why
should
you
do
this?
Because
it
may
be
troublesome
and
costly
if
you
want
to
return
the
products
you
have
bought
online.
If
you
have
any
other
questions,
just
ask
in
the
comment
section.
