If great achievers share anything, said Simonton, it is an unrelenting drive to succeed.“There's a tendency to think that they are endowed with something super-normal,” he
explained.“But what comes out of the research is that there are great people who
have no amazing intellectual processes.It's a difference in degree.Greatness is built
upon tremendous amounts of study, practice and devotion.”
He cited Winston Churchill, Britain's prime minister during World War II, as an
example of a risk-taker who would never give up.Thrust into office when his
country's morale was at its lowest, Churchill rose brilliantly to lead the British
people.In a speech following the Allied evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940, he inspired
the nation when he said, “We shall not flag or fail.We shall go on to the end...We
shall never surrender.”
西蒙顿说,如果事业上取得巨大成就者具有什么共性的话,那就是一种持续不
断地追求成功的动力。“人们往往认为他们天生具有一些超常非凡的东西,”他
解释道。“但研究结果表明,有的伟人并没有惊人的智力。有的只是程度上的差
异而已。伟大是建立在大量的学习、实践和献身精神的基础之上的。”他举出二
战时期的英国首相温斯顿?丘吉尔作为一个永不放弃的冒险者的典范。丘吉尔在全国上下士气最为低落的时候被推上台,并出色地领导了英国人民。在1940年
盟军敦刻尔克大撤退之后的一次演讲中,他的话激励了全国人民,“我们绝不会
衰退、失败。我们将坚持到底……
Unit2
Some persons refrain from expressing their gratitude because they feel it will not be
welcome.A patient of mine, a few weeks after his discharge from the hospital, came
back to thank his nurse.“I didn't come back sooner,” he explained, “because I
imagined you must be bored to death with people thanking you.”
“On the contrary,” she replied, “I am delighted you came.Few realize how much we
need encouragement and how much we are helped by those who give it.”
Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much.For on the smiles, the
thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build up their
philosophy of life.有些人不愿表达感激之情,因为他们觉得这不会受欢迎。我的一个病人在出院
几个星期后回到医院来感谢他的护士。“我没有更早地回来,”他解释说,“是因
为我猜想你们对于人们的感激一定厌烦得要命。”“正好相反,”她回答说,“我很高兴你来。很少有人意识到我们多么需要鼓励,我们从那些鼓励我们的人身
上获得了多大的帮助。”我们所给予的感激永远不会过多。因为我们身边的人在构筑他们的人生哲学时所依据的正是这些微笑、我们所表示的感谢和我们表示
欣赏的各种小小的示意动作。

When a student's work did not measure up to the teacher's expectations, as often happened, the student was not treated with disappointment, anger, or annoyance.Instead, the teacher assumed that this was an exception, an accident, a bad day, a momentary slip — and the student believed her and felt reassured.The next time around, he tried harder, determined to live up to what the teacher knew he could do.The exact part of communication that tells a child, “I expect the best,” is difficult to pinpoint.In part it consists of a level tone showing assurance, a lack of verbal
impatience, an absence of negative qualities such as irony, put-downs, and irritation.The teacher who expects the best asks her questions with conviction, knowing the answers she gets will be right, and the child picks up that conviction.某个学生的成绩达不到老师的期望是常有的事。当这种情况发生时,那个学生面对的不是失望、愤怒或恼怒。相反,老师认为这是一次例外,一件偶然的事情,倒霉的一天,一次暂时的失误——而学生相信了她,并消除了疑虑。下一次,他更加努力了,决心做到老师知道他能做到的事。很难精确地确定老师传达的信息:“我期待着最好的成绩,”中到底是哪一部分告诉了孩子。它的一部分包括显示信心的平和语调,言语上的耐心,及没有讽刺、贬低和恼怒等消极因素。期待着最好成绩的老师满怀信心地提问,因为她知道她得到的答案将是正确的,而孩子也感受到了那种信心。
Unit5
I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me.I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life.As I see it today, the ability to read awoke inside me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive.I certainly wasn't seeking any degree, the way a college confers a status
symbol upon its students.My homemade education gave me, with every additional book that I read, a little bit more sensitivity to the deafness, dumbness, and blindness that was afflicting the black race in America.Not long ago, an English writer
telephoned me from London, asking questions.One was, “What's your alma mater?” I told him, “Books.” You will never catch me with a free fifteen minutes in which I'm not studying something I feel might be able to help the black man...我经常思考阅读为我打开的那些新的远景。我当时在狱中就知道,阅读已永远改变了我的人生历程。正如我现在所认识到的,阅读能力唤醒了在我内心潜伏已久的对于思想活跃的渴望。我当然不是在追求任何学位,那只是大学授予学生一种地位象征的方式。我通过自学所受到的教育使我每读一本新书就更意识到正在折磨着美国黑色人种的聋、哑和盲。不久前,一位英国作家从伦敦打来电话问了我几个问题。其中一个问题是,“你的母校是哪儿?”我告诉他,“是书。”在任何一个空闲的十五分钟里,你都会发现我在学习一些我觉得可能有助于黑人的东西……
Unit6
EQ is not the opposite of IQ.Some people are blessed with a lot of both, some with little of either.What researchers have been trying to understand is how they complement each other;how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use.Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%;the rest depends on everything from class to luck to the neural pathways that have developed in the brain over millions of years of human evolution.情商不是智商的对立面。一些人有幸两者都拥有很多,一些人则每一样都拥有很少。研究者们一直试图理解的是它们如何互补;比如,一个人对付压力的能力如何影响其集中思想和发挥才智的能力。现在的研究者们大多都同意,在成功的要素中智商约占20%;其余的则取决于多种因素,从所属的阶级到运气到在人类进化的几百万年中已在大脑中形成的神经途径。
