Very often, newborn babies are not beautiful. They are wrinkled or bald, or they have angry expressions on their faces that seem to say, "Go away! I hate everybody." But to a parent, that bald, wrinkled, mean-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect child in the world. When that proud father or mother asks you, "Well, what do you think—isn't she beautiful?", what are you going to say? Is this the time for the truth? Of course not!
You look that proud father in the eye and say, "Yes, she is! She's a real beauty. She's one in a million. She's going to be a movie star! I can tell! She's as pretty as a picture."
This is what we call in English a white lie. White lies don't hurt people; they aren't cruel or angry words. People use them to make a difficult situation a little easier. When people refuse dates, forget their homework, or taste something new that they don't especially like while eating at a friend's house, they tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind. They don't want to hurt someone's feelings. It is important to be honest. But many people feel that being kind and considerate体贴的,体谅的is sometimes more important.
What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say that we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose假定a friend wants to borrow some money from you and you say, "I wish I could help you but I'm short of cash现款right now." In fact, you are not short of cash, but your friend is in the habit of forgetting to pay his debts and you don't want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Does this qualify as a lie?
A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a "white lie". When a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress, she might really think it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other research shows that men are more likely to tell more serious lies. They tend to make promises which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lies politicians and businessmen are particularly skilled at. They hope to profit from these lies in some way.
Research has also been done into the way people's behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that, if they sit down, they tend to move about in their chair more than usual. It seems as if they were saying to themselves "I wish I were somewhere else now." It has also been observed that in extreme situations, people who have lied perspire more than usual and they blink more often.

(A news anchor at "Radio News" in Des Moines, Iowa is reporting on a local news event.)
News Anchor主持人: Austin Scanlon of Des Moines had one of those heart-stopping
realizations Tuesday that strikes the split second you realize
something very, very bad has happened. At noon Scanlon thought
he'd pull in for a burger at McDonald's. He reached for his
wallet, and then remembered that all of his cash, $2,000, was
in the black leather bag that he had mistakenly left in a
shopping cart in the middle of a parking lot, outside the Menards
Store. He hurried back to the place outside the store where he
had unloaded some wood about 45 minutes earlier, before pushing
the cart into its storage slot. The cart and the black bag were
gone. We have Scanlon here with us to tell what happened next.
Scanlon: I was hoping an employee of the store had found the bag. I thought
if a customer found it, it was probably lost for good. I ran
inside and a customer service worker asked me to describe the
bag and contents. Then he told me it had been turned in to the
store manager. Another employee told me who had found it.
This is Scott Betts, the honest Menards worker who found the
bag and turned it in to the store manager. Scott, tell us about
it.
I went out to pull some carts back into the store. There was
a black bag in one of them. I took it to the manager and really
didn't have any idea about what was in it. Later I heard that
it was a lot of money.
I told Betts he wasn't being paid enough, and I wanted people
to know how honest he is. I just walked around the store telling
everyone I saw what a great worker they have. I am also sending
a letter to the CEO of the Menards company telling them about
this experience.
Scott, did Scanlon give you a reward for your good deed?
He offered me a reward, but I wouldn't take it. I told him I
did only what any honest person would do.
I wish all our news stories could end as positively as this. News Anchor: Scott Betts: Scanlon: News Anchor: Scott Betts: News Anchor:

Suzanne: Hello, Product Development Department, Suzanne speaking.
Darrow: Hello, my name is Darrow Thomas, and I am with LA&D. One of my clients
委托人,当事人,顾客has an opening for Director of Research and Development
at a well-known food processor加工业者. In discussions with people in the
industry, your name was recommended as a likely candidate. I was...
Suzanne: Who recommended推荐that you call me?
Darrow: I'm awfully sorry, but we treat references and candidates with the utmost
极度的,最大的confidentiality保密. I cannot reveal that name. But rest
assured, he thought you were ready for a more challenging job.
Suzanne: Well, OK.
Darrow: Good. How many people do you supervise?
Suzanne: Three professionals, seven technicians, and two clerks.
Darrow: Approximately how large a budget are you responsible for?
Suzanne: Oh, it's about three-quarters of a million dollars a year.
Darrow: What degree do you hold, and how many years have you been Assistant
Director?
Suzanne: My undergraduate degree and master's are in nutrition science. After I
graduated in 1988, I came to work as an Applications Researcher应用研究
员. In 1993, I was promoted to Chief Applications Researcher首席应用研
究员. In 2000, I was appointed Assistant Director of Product Development
产品开发署助理署长.
Darrow: Good career progress, two degrees, and managerial experience管理经验. Your
background sounds great! This is a little personal, but would you tell
me your salary?
Suzanne: I make $51,000 a year.
Darrow: Oh, that is disappointing. The opening I have to fill is for $70,000. That
would be such a substantial jump that my client would probably assume your
past experience and responsibility are too limited to be considered.
Suzanne: What do you mean?
Darrow: Well, the ideal candidate would be making about $62,000 a year. That would
indicate a higher level of responsibility than your present low salary.
We could get around that problem.
Suzanne: How?
大学英语,研究生英语
Darrow: On the data sheet I have filled out, I could put down that you are making,
oh, say, $65,000. That sure would increase my client's interest, then my
client would think a salary of $70,000 was needed to attract you.
Suzanne: Wow! But that's not fair. If they checked on my salary history, they'd
know that $65,000 was an inflated figure65,000元是夸大的数字.
Darrow: No, they wouldn't. They wouldn't check. And even if they did, companies
never reveal the salary information of past employees. Besides, they are
anxious to fill the job. I'll tell you what, let me send them the data
sheet. I'm sure they'll be interested. Then we can talk about more of this,
OK?
Suzanne: Sorry, I don't think I can do that. Thank you for calling anyway.
He was 11 years old and went fishing with his father from the dock at his family's cabin船舱on the day before the bass season opened, catching sunfish and perch with worms.
After many efforts of sitting, casting and waiting, finally, he very gingerly极度小心谨慎地lifted the exhausted精疲力尽的fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 p.m.—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
"You'll have to put it back, Son," he said.
"Dad!" cried the boy.
"There will be other fish," said his father.
"Not as big as this one," cried the boy.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father's voice that the decision was not negotiable. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent壮丽的,宏伟的;华丽的;极好的fish in his later life. But he does see that same fish—again and again—every time he comes up against a question of honesty.
Do we do right when no one is looking? Do we refuse to cut corners to get the design in on time? We would if we were taught to put the fish back when we were young.

For we would have learned the truth. The decision to do right lives fresh and fragrant in our memory. It is a story we will proudly tell our friends and grandchildren. Not about how we had a chance to beat the system and took it, but about how we did the right thing and were forever strengthened永远加强.
(In an American elementary school auditorium, a noted specialist on behavior of children is giving a lecture to a group of parents of students who attend that school.)
A writer once observed that the first casualty in war is "truth". Although this observation concerned armed conflicts, the same observation applies to family problems. Before conflicts within families erupt爆发, one of the first things to go is "truth".
Truth is often replaced with secrets, myths or fantasies秘密,神话或幻想. When the fantasy is heard often enough, it is accepted as "true" within the family. Parents can take action to采取行动develop an atmosphere in the home where "honesty" and "truth" occur on a regular basis. When children are raised with falsehoods, they often do not recognize truth when they see it. Creating an atmosphere of truthfulness and honesty requires a daily effort. It requires being able to speak honestly and to hear others speak honestly as well. When families are not used to such practices, they may exhibit strong reactions to hearing others' opinions and honesty. For this reason, attention must be given to how the honesty is communicated. An ancient writer once emphasized the need to "speak the truth in love". Honesty is great within the home when it is delivered in love. Honesty without love is cruelty残忍;残酷行为. Someone may say, "I'm just speaking the plain坦率的truth," but the way they deliver it is designed to hurt and inflict pain造成伤害和痛苦.
Although truth is important within families, some truths may hurt or worry family members. Parents need to consider what information is appropriate恰当的for their children's age. If the information would cause more hurt than healing, it is best not disclosed. The rule I use is that if the person is not part of the problem or part of the solution, it is best not shared. Subjects like money, sexual matters and religious beliefs are best left to parental judgment.
For families to develop a home atmosphere with honesty also requires emotional safety. Honesty thrives兴旺,繁荣where people feel safe. In families where threats and angry words predominate占优势,支配,统治, honesty is difficult to find. It is up to the parents to initiate开始;初步了解;让…加入honesty within the home. Children often follow the parental lead either toward truthfulness or falsehood. 无论真或假对

I knew something was wrong because my son always seemed happier than this after spending time with his friends; so I asked him about it. They had just finished playing a game of basketball and were getting on their bikes in a park to head home. As he was unlocking his, it tipped over, scratching划(痕) and denting弄凹a nearby car. The sullen look on his face indicated he had come home without telling this to anyone. I asked him if he wanted to run errands差事,差with me. As we were driving to the store together, I explained the choice that he would have to make and the consequences结果,后果;重要(性),重大of his decision. On the way home, I asked him if he wanted to stop at the park and he sheepishly answered, "No." "Do you want some lunch?" I asked then as we pulled over.
The restaurant hadn't changed a bit since I had worked there so many years ago. I recognized the voice of my old boss, Fred, coming from the kitchen, and asked one of the waitresses if I could speak to him. He didn't remember me at first but that soon changed; I was something of a superstar in the field of dishwashing back in those days. "I owe you some money, Fred. I ate lots of burgers in between washes and I never paid you for them." Fred looked surprised and refused to take any money, but he expressed his gratitude to me, and said it was the first time anyone had returned after so many years to pay a debt.
Walking from the store, I smiled as my son asked, "Why did you do that, Dad?" The answer was easy: "I was tired of feeling guilty内疚的;有罪的every time I drove past the restaurant. It's never too late to try and fix a mistake." I asked. "Do you want to stop by the park again?"
You'll never guess what he said. "I think I like the values you've shown me."
One morning, just before Christmas vacation, I was selling tickets to our grade school's last evening performance of The Nutcracker. The evening before had been a sellout.
One of my customers that day was a parent. "I think it's awful极坏的;不舒服的;非常的,极大的that I have to pay to see my own child perform," she announced, yanking猛拉,猛拔a wallet from her purse钱包.
"The school asks for a voluntary志愿donation to help pay for scenery and costumes," I explained, "but no one has to pay. You're welcome to all the tickets you need."
"Oh, I'll pay." She grumbled抱怨;咕哝. "Two adults and a child."
大学英语,研究生英语
She plunked down a 10-dollar bill. I gave her the change and her tickets. She stepped aside, fumbling with her purse, when the boy waiting behind her emptied空闲(虚)的,寂寥的a pocketful of change onto the table.
"How many tickets?" I asked.
"I don't need tickets," he said. "I've already seen the show."
I pushed the pile一叠of nickels五分钱, dimes 10分铸币and quarters四等分back. "You don't have to pay to see the show with your class," I told him, "That's free." "No," the boy insisted, "I saw it last night. My brother and I arrived late. We couldn't find anyone to buy tickets from, so we just walked in."
Lots of people in that crowd had probably "just walked in". The few volunteers志愿者present couldn't check everyone for a ticket. Who would argue, anyway? I hated to take his money. Being late, they must have squeezed into the crowd and couldn't possibly have seen the whole show. Besides, a pile of coins in a kid's hand is usually carefully saved allowance money.
"Nobody knows the difference," I assured him. "Don't worry about it." "I know the difference."
For one silent moment our hands bridged the money.
Then I spoke, "Two tickets cost two dollars. Thank you."
The boy smiled, turned away and was gone.
"Excuse me."
I looked up, surprised to see the woman who had bought her own tickets moments earlier. "Why don't you keep this change?" She said quietly and handed me a few dollar bills, and left. Little did that boy know that he had given us both our first gift of the Christmas season.
"You've got an honest face," says the merchant商人, and accepts the stranger's check. Apparently显然,表面上地some faces really are more honest-looking than others, according to recent research, and the qualities that make for an honest face are easy to identify认同.
Psychologists George Rotter and Naomi Rotter reasoned that if people could agree that one person is more honest-looking than another, and if a consensus could
大学英语,研究生英语
be reached, then it might be possible to compare honest and dishonest faces and see what gives each its distinctive有区别的;有特色的look.
The researchers cut 341 black-and-white portraits of men and women from a college yearbook and asked six people to sort分类them into three piles: those who looked honest, those who looked dishonest and those whose honesty or dishonesty was uncertain. This led to the selection of 80 faces: half honest-looking and half dishonest-looking. The researchers shuffled搅乱these photos and asked another group to sort them, as in the first round, into three piles. This resulted in the selection of 24 faces: 12 honest-looking and 12 dishonest-looking.
At this point, yet another group of people evaluated the 24 faces. They examined each photograph and rated various facial features, such as the slant eyebrows and the small eyes. They also indicated whether each face looked honest, dishonest or ambiguous含糊不清的.
After this last round of ratings, there was considerable agreement that the honest- and dishonest-looking faces were quite different. Most of the honest faces had broad smiles, while most of the dishonest ones wore grim expressions在诚实的面孔,大部分具有广泛的笑容,而最不诚实的人穿的表情严峻.
Gaze凝视,注视was also important, but its meaning depended upon sex取决于性别. Men were more likely to be rated honest-looking if they had looked directly into the camera, while women in this pose were more likely to be thought dishonest. The quality of the eyes and eyebrows did not distinguish区分honest from dishonest faces. "We expected预料,预计to find that subtle微妙的differences in features相貌helped convey传递honesty," George Rotter says. "Instead反而,却we found that obvious differences accounted for the ratings. The message seems to be: Smile and the world will trust you."
The researchers caution警告, however, that nothing in their research demonstrates论证;说明that people can accurately准确地;精密地distinguish between honest and dishonest people. The stranger may have an honest face, but the check may still bounce.
Scene 1: In a park
(Lillian and Barbara are sitting at a table, talking to each other.) ...
Barbara: So your first grandchild is coming. That's fantastic!
Lillian: Oh, yes! It's an exciting time. We're really looking forward to it. Barbara: How are you and Danny planning to celebrate?
Lillian: Uh, we're planning to have a family reunion next month. You and Larry will
大学英语,研究生英语
come, won't you?
Barbara: Sure! A big reunion to welcome a new member—and you'll be a grandma.
That'll be great!
Lillian: You know, Danny and I have been married for 27 years. We raised four
children and are now welcoming a grandchild. I just couldn't ask for more.
But Danny always feels like there's something missing. He told me that
there was some kind of secret his parents knew but that he never found
out about. I just don't know how to help him.
Barbara: "Something missing?" (She says hesitantly.) Well, there is a secret, you
know. Do you know that both Danny and Larry are adopted?
Lillian: What? Are you kidding?
Barbara: Well, Larry was with his parents the day they adopted Danny. He was sworn
to secrecy because their mom didn't want anyone to know she couldn't have
children. And now that both of the parents have passed away, Larry wants
me to keep the secret. But I didn't promise him I'd keep it a secret forever,
and I don't think there's any reason to hide the facts from you and Danny.
Lillian: Wow, I just can't believe it! It's incredible. Now what should I do? Should
I tell Danny that his parents had concealed the truth from him so many
years?
Barbara: I found out about all this only a month ago. When Larry was 10 years old,
his mom let it slip that he was adopted. The truth pained him so much that
he didn't want Danny to have to go through the same thing. But if not knowing
the truth only makes Danny feel upset, maybe...
Lillian: Oh, thanks, Barbara! I'm so glad you let me know the truth. Danny has
endured this lie all his life! I think learning the truth would finally
set him free from his restlessness. He deserves to know the truth. But
how am I going to tell him he's adopted? I'll have to think about it...
Barbara: It'll be OK!
Scene 2: In the sitting room
(Lillian and Danny are sitting on the couch, looking at the photos taken
at their grandson's party.)
Lillian: Oh, Danny! You looked really pleased with that little one in your arms.
He's such a miracle, isn't he?
Danny: Yeah. And you looked pretty pleased that day too.
Lillian: Oh, everybody did. We all love you. And don't you ever forget that, you
hear?
Danny: (After a pause, he changes the subject.) Honey, is there anything wrong?
I thought you acted just a little bit funny today.
Lillian: Well, actually, I received a letter this morning—from the Bureau of Vital
Statistics. I contacted them about a month ago.
Danny: You did? What for?
大学英语,研究生英语
Lillian: Sweetheart, the other day I found out something from Barbara. She told
me that both you and Larry are adopted. So I needed some proof. And here
they sent me the document.
(She hands a letter over to Danny and he begins to read eagerly.)
Danny: "Danny Schick, on December 14, 1953, you joined your adoptive parents..."
This is unbelievable! Why didn't anyone tell me before? But if Barbara
told you, somebody had to know.
Lillian: They chose not to let you know the truth then. I think they had their
reasons.
Danny: You know, growing up, I never felt like I belonged. I didn't look like
any of my relatives. I was six years old, I guess, when Larry blurted out
that I was adopted. Both my parents denied it at the time, but deep inside
me, there was this shadow of doubt. Larry's words kind of haunted me, you
know.
Lillian: Dear, try not to feel that way! Larry has always loved you. I've talked
with Larry about this and he mentioned that story too. Your mom made him
swear not to tell the truth after that incident. When he was 10, Mom let
it slip that he was adopted, too. The truth made him feel like a throwaway
then, and he didn't want you to feel that way. He wanted to protect you.
Danny: Larry! But why did my parents do this to me? But they never lied to me
in my memory, and they taught me not to lie. How could they do this? I
just feel like my world is turned upside down completely. I really feel
let down. It might not be so important whether I was adopted or not, dear,
but it's just—how could they hide the truth from me for 50 years? That...
really hurts.
Lillian: I've got to fix this. Maybe we can find the missing pieces of the puzzle.
Would it help if we looked for your birth family? We could comb the
Internet, newspaper archives and census records looking for them.
Danny: I'm just a throwaway by my birth family...
Lillian: If you're a throwaway, then I'm the catcher's mitt! Larry also told me
that once your parents mentioned that you had been born in Georgia, so
we inquired about you through the Georgia Adoption Reunion Registry. We
are trying to find your family and the truth.
Danny: I have a beautiful wife, four wonderful children, and an adorable
grandchild. I have all the family I need. However, if I am not Danny Schick,
who am I then?
Scene 3: In the same sitting room
(Lillian just puts down the phone and comes to Danny.)
Lillian: Danny, they finally located your family! You have a sister! She is still
alive!
Danny: (He says gruffly.) Why should we look for them when they aren't looking
for me?
大学英语,研究生英语
Lillian: (She replies gently.) Maybe she didn't know about you. The important thing
is we found her! And guess what? Your last name is O'Hara. You're Irish!
Danny: You've got her telephone number? Let's contact her immediately.
Scene 4: In Louise's house
(When the door opens... Danny and Louise blink in amazement.)
Danny: So, you are Louise.
Louise: And you must be Danny, and Lillian, (She hugs Lillian.) It's so good to
see you. Please come in.
Lillian: Oh, it's incredible. It's like looking in the mirror! You two have the
same eyes, and the same smile... everything!
(Louise throws her arms around Danny.)
Louise: I always knew I had a brother. I just never knew where he was. I'm so glad
we found each other.
Danny: I... I just don't know what to say.
Louise: Well, come in; we have a lot of catching up to do.
(The three sit down in the sitting room.)
Louise: Danny, my parents—my adoptive parents told me that our birth parents died
when we were just babies. They were British. I was adopted by an American
couple and I always knew I was adopted. You were adopted by a British family
and I guess they must not have told you that you were adopted.
Danny: No, they, they didn't. I suppose their generation was more secretive about
adoption, and I, but I don't know why. They loved me, but they couldn't
tell me the truth. And now they're dead, and I can never tell them that
it wouldn't have made any difference.
Louise: Yes, it wouldn't have made any difference for me, either. Adoptive parents
love their children just as much as birth parents.
Danny: So if it wasn't for you, Lillian, I would never have found my whole family
again. And I would never have found myself again, either. Lillian, darling,
Louise, my dear sister, I am such a lucky man. (Danny clutches Louise and
Lillian's hands tightly.)
Lillian: And we're lucky too, Danny. Don't forget that if you've found a sister,
I've found a sister-in-law.
Louise: And a good friend!
(They laugh happily.)

达罗:哦,这是令人失望的。开幕我要填写为70,000元。这将是这样一个重大跳跃,我的客户可能会承担你过去的经验和责任也仅限于考虑。
苏珊:你是什么意思?
达罗:嗯,理想的候选人将作出关于每年62 000美元。这将显示一个比你现在的低工资水平的责任。我们可以避开这个问题。
苏珊:如何?
达罗:在数据表我已经填满了,我可以放下你提出的,哦,也就是说,65000美元。这肯定会增加我的客户的利益,那么我的客户会觉得有一个70,000元的薪金需要吸引你。
苏珊:哇!但是,这不公平。如果他们对我的工资历史检查,他们就会知道,65000美元是一个夸大的数字。 达罗:不,他们不会。他们不会检查。而且即使他们这么做,公司从来没有透露过去雇员的薪金资料。此外,他们急于填补工作。我会告诉你,让我把他们的数据表。我相信他们会感兴趣。然后,我们可以谈论更多的这一点,好吗?
苏珊:对不起,我不认为我能做到这一点。无论如何谢谢你打电话。
他11岁那时,在他家的小屋捕鱼的当天,他从被告席父亲鲈鱼季节开放的前,追赶太阳鱼和蠕虫鲈鱼。 会议经过许多努力,铸造和等待,终于,他小心翼翼地将筋疲力尽的鱼提出水面。这是他最大的一所见过的,但它是一条鲈鱼。
父亲点燃一根火柴,看了看表。这是10时至本赛季前两小时开放。他看了看鱼,又在该名男童。 “你得把它放回去,孩子,”他说。
“爸爸!”男孩叫道。
“还有其他的鱼,”他的父亲。
“但没这么大,”男孩叫道。
他看了看周围的湖泊。没有其他任何地方的渔民或船只周围。他又看了看他的父亲。即使没有人看到他们,也没有任何人能永远不知道什么时候他钓到了鱼,男孩可以告诉了他父亲的声音清晰,这一决定是不容谈判的。他慢慢地将鱼钩从大鲈鱼的嘴唇,然后蹲下将黑色水。这男孩想,他可能再也看不到这么大的鱼。

他是正确的。他再也没有在他以后的生活陷入这样一个宏伟的鱼。但他也看到同样的鱼,一次又一次,每次他遇到了一个诚实的问题。
我们做得很没有人吗?难道我们不走捷径以获取时间的设计?如果我们要教导我们把鱼放回去,当我们还年轻。因为我们将学到的真理。这个决定做新鲜芬芳在我们的记忆里变得深刻。这是一个故事,我们会自豪地告诉我们的朋友和孙子。不是关于如何我们有机会击败系统,查看了,但如何做正确的事情,被永远加强。
(在美国小学礼堂,对儿童行为的专家指出,正给一个演讲的学生谁参加家长学校组)。
一个作家曾经指出,在战争的第一受害者是“真理”。虽然这种观察的武装冲突,同样的看法也适用于家庭问题。在家庭内的冲突爆发之前,的第一件事情就是去一个“真理”。
真理往往是取代秘密,神话或幻想。当幻想常常听到的话,它被接受为“真”在家庭内。
家长可以采取行动,制定一个在家庭氛围,“诚实”和“真理”发生在定期的基础。当孩子提出与谎言,他们往往不承认真理当他们看到它。创建氛围和诚实的真实性,需要每天的努力。它要求能说实话,听取他人发言以及诚实。当家庭不使用这种做法,他们可能会表现出强烈的反应,听别人的意见和诚实。基于这个原因,必须重视如何诚实是沟通。一个古老的作家曾强调要“讲爱真理”。诚信是伟大的范围内时,它是在传递爱的家。没有爱的诚实是残酷的。有人可能会说,“我只是讲实话,办实事”,但他们的方式提供它的设计造成伤害和痛苦。
虽然事实是重要的家庭内,一些真理可能会伤害或担心家人。家长要考虑什么样的信息是他们的子女的年龄适当的。如果该信息将导致超过愈合伤害,最好不要披露。我使用的规则是,如果该人是不是问题或解决方案的一部分的一部分,最好不要共用。就像金钱科目,性问题和宗教信念是最好的留给父母的判断。
对于家庭发展与家庭气氛,也需要诚实的情感安全。诚信蓬勃发展,人们感到安全。在家庭中占主导地位的威胁和愤怒的话,诚信是很难找到。
这要由家长开始在家里诚实。孩子们经常跟随要么走向真或假父母领先。
我知道什么是错的,因为我的儿子似乎总是与他的朋友花的时间比这更快乐,所以我问他。他们刚刚完成了在玩篮球游戏,都拿到了自己的自行车到公园就回家。当他解开他的,它翻了过来,划伤和凹陷附近的汽车。他脸上的阴沉看表示他来这是任何人都没有告诉家里。
我问他:如果他想要我跑腿运行。当我们一起开车去商店,我解释了选择,他必须作出和他的决定的后果。在回家的路上,我问他如果他想停在公园,他不好意思地回答说:“编号” “你想要一些午餐?”我于是问我们拉了。
餐厅有一点没有改变,因为我工作这么多年,以前有。我承认我的老上司,弗雷德从厨房来,声音,问了一个服务员,如果我能和他说话。他不记得我在第一,但很快就改变,我是在当年的餐具回场超级明星的东西。 “我欠你一些钱,弗雷德。我吃了很多汉堡之间的清洗,我从来没有为他们支付你。”弗雷德看起来非常吃惊,并拒绝采取任何钱,但他向我表示感谢,并表示这是第一次有人这么多年后返回支付债务。
从商店散步,我微笑着为我的儿子问:“你为什么这样做,爸爸?”答案是简单:“我是有罪的感觉,每次我过去的餐厅开累了。它永远不会太晚,试图修复一个错误。”我问。 “你想由公园停止了吗?”
你永远也猜他说的话。 “我想我喜欢你已经证明我的价值。”
一天早上,就在圣诞节假期,我是卖门票,我们小学的胡桃夹子昨晚的表现。在出卖之前一直是晚上。 我的顾客之一,当天是父母。 “我认为这太可怕了,我要付出自己的孩子看到我的表演,”她宣布,拔掉了她的钱包钱包。
“学校为自愿捐款要求,以帮助风景,服装费,”我解释说,“但没有人来支付。欢迎你到你需要的所有门票。” “哦,我会付。”她抱怨。 “两个大人和一个孩子。”
她重重地加上了一个10美元的钞票。我给了她和她的车票变化。她走到一边,与她的钱包,当男孩摸索后
大学英语,研究生英语
面等待她掏空了口袋上表的变化。
“有多少票?”我问。
“我并不需要门票,”他说。 “我已经看到了表演。”
我推了一堆硬币,硬币及宿舍回来。 “你不必付钱,用你的类节目,”我告诉他,“这是免费的。”
“不,”小男孩坚持说,“我昨晚看到了。我的哥哥和我迟到。我们无法找到任何人购买车票从,所以我们只走了进来”
许多人在这一人群中有可能“刚刚走进来”。目前为数不多的志愿者可以不检查一票人。谁会说,啊?
我讨厌把他的钱。迟到,他们必须挤入人群,不可能看到整个表演。此外,硬币在孩子的手通常是桩仔细保存零花钱。
“没有人知道的差别,”我向他保证。 “不要担心。”
“我知道其中的差别。”
对于一个沉默的时刻我们手中的钱弥补。
然后我说,“两票两美元的成本。谢谢你。”
这男孩笑了,转身走了。
“对不起。”
我抬起头来,惊讶地看到谁买了自己的门票时刻较早的女人。 “你为什么不保持这种变化?”她平静地说,递给我几美元的法案,并离开。那个男孩一点也不知道,他为我们带来了我们的第一个圣诞节礼物。
“你有一个诚实的脸,说:”商人,并接受陌生人的检查。显然,有些确实是诚实的面孔比别人看,根据最近的研究,素质,对于一个诚实的脸使很容易识别。
心理学家乔治罗特和内奥米罗特的理由是,如果人们能够认同一个人是比较老实,看起来比另一种,如果能够达成共识,那么有可能比较诚实和不诚实的脸,看看是什么使每个其独特的外观。
研究人员从一个大学年鉴削减341男人和女人的黑与白的画像,并要求6人排序分为三个桩他们:谁看着那些诚实的,那些不诚实的,谁看着那些诚实或不诚实的行为是不确定的。这导致了80面:半诚实的前瞻性和半不诚实前瞻性的选择。研究人员洗牌这些照片,并要求另一组进行排序在第一轮,他们分为三个桩。这导致了24面:12诚实的前瞻性和12不诚实前瞻性的选择。
此时,另一组评估了24人的面孔。他们审查,如倾斜眉毛和小眼睛每张照片和额定各种面部特征。他们还表示每个脸是否诚实,不诚实或模棱两可。
在此之后最后一轮的收视率,有相当一致认为,诚实和不诚实的面孔是完全不同的。在诚实的面孔,大部分具有广泛的笑容,而最不诚实的人穿的严峻表情。
目光也很重要,但它的意义后,性别而定。男性更有可能被评级诚实前瞻性,如果他们已经研究了在相机直接,而这对妇女更有可能被认为不诚实。对眼睛和眉毛质量不区分诚实不诚实的面孔。
“我们预计将发现,在具有细微差别有助于传达诚实,”乔治罗特说。 “相反,我们发现,收视率明显差异的占。消息似乎是:微笑,世界会信任你。”
研究人员警告,但是,在他们的研究表明,没有人能准确区分诚实和不诚实的人。陌生人可能有一个诚实的脸,但支票仍可能反弹。
场景1:在一个公园
(莉莲和芭芭拉坐在一张桌子,互相交谈。)
...
芭芭拉:那么你的第一个孙子来了。这太神奇了!
莉莲:噢,是的!这是一个激动人心的时刻。我们真的很期待它。
芭芭拉:你和丹尼如何规划,以庆祝?
莉莲:嗯,我们正在策划一个家庭团聚下个月。你和拉里会来的,不是吗?
大学英语,研究生英语
芭芭拉:当然!阿大团聚,欢迎新会员,您将一个奶奶。这将是伟大的!
莉莲:你知道,丹尼和我已经结婚27年。我们提出了4个孩子,正在迎来一个孙子。我不能要求更多。但丹尼总是感觉有东西丢失。他告诉我,有一些秘密他的父母知道,但他那种从来没有发现什么。我只是不知道如何去帮助他。
芭芭拉:“少了一点什么?” (她迟疑地说。)其实,这是一个秘密,你知道。你知道,无论是通过丹尼和拉里? 莉莲:什么?你在开玩笑吧?
芭芭拉:嗯,拉里是与他的父母的一天,他们通过丹尼。他发誓要保密,因为他们的妈妈不希望任何人知道她不能生孩子。而现在的父母都已经去世,拉里要我保守这个秘密。但我没有答应他,我会永远保留这个秘密,我不认为有任何理由隐瞒你和丹尼的事实。
莉莲:哇,我简直不敢相信!这是难以置信的。现在我该怎么办?如果我告诉丹尼,他的父母隐瞒了真相,从他多年?
芭芭拉:我发现这一切仅仅在一个月前。当拉里为10岁,他的妈妈让这一机会,他获得通过。他感到痛苦的真相,以至于他不想丹尼不得不经过同样的事情。但是,如果不知道真理的唯一使丹尼感到不安,或许...
莉莲:哦,谢谢,芭芭拉!我很高兴你让我知道了真相。丹尼已经忍受这种谎言一生!我认为学习的真相终于将他摆脱他的不安。他应该知道真相。不过为什么我要告诉他,他的通过?我还得想一想...
芭芭拉:这将是美好!
场景二:在客厅
(莉莲和丹尼坐在沙发上,在他们的孙子在党拍摄的照片看。)
莉莲:哦,丹尼!你看起来真的在你的怀里的小家伙高兴。他是一个奇迹,是不是?
丹尼:是啊。而你看上去很高兴这一天了。
莉莲:哦,每个人都一样。我们都爱你。而且永远也不要忘记,你听见了吗?
丹尼:(过了一会儿,他改变了话题。)亲爱的,有什么错?我还以为你们的行动只是今天有点滑稽。 莉莲:嗯,其实我今天早上收到一封信,从人口统计局。我和他们联系约一个月前。
丹尼:你没有?为什么?
莉莲:亲爱的,有一天我发现从芭芭拉的东西。她告诉我,你和拉里采用。因此,我需要一些证据。在这里,他们送我的文档。
(她的手信给了丹尼,他急切地开始阅读。)
丹尼:“丹尼希克,于1953年12月14日,你加入了你的养父母...”这是令人难以置信!为什么没有人告诉我吗?但是,如果芭芭拉告诉你,有人知道。
莉莲:他们选择,不要让你知道真相后。我觉得他们有他们的理由。
丹尼:你知道,成长过程中,我从来没有觉得我属于。我不像我的亲戚任何。我是6岁,我想,当拉里脱口而出,我获得通过。我的父母当时否认,但我内心深处,有这样的怀疑的阴影。拉里的话一直折磨着我的那种,你知道。
莉莲:亲爱的,尽量不要有这样的感觉!拉里一直爱你。我已经跟我谈过这个拉里和他提到这个故事了。你的妈妈让他发誓不告诉之后,事件的真相。当他10,妈妈让这一机会,他通过了。真相使他像一个被抛弃的感觉,然后,他不想让你觉得这种方式。他要保护你。
丹尼:拉里!但为什么我的父母这样对我?但是,他们从来没有骗我在我的记忆,他们教我不要说谎。怎么能这样做呢?我只是觉得我的世界是完全颠倒了。我真的感到失望。它可能不是那么重要,我是否获得通过与否,亲爱的,但它刚刚怎么可能向我隐瞒了50年的真相?这...实在令人伤心。
莉莲:我必须解决这个问题。也许我们可以找到拼图缺少的部分。难道我们的帮助,如果你的出生家庭期待?我们可以梳理互联网,报纸档案和人口普查记录寻找他们。
丹尼:我只是一个由我出生的家庭一次性...
莉莲:如果你是一次性的,那么我是捕手的手套!拉里还告诉我,一旦你的父母,你提到了在格鲁吉亚出生的,所以我们对你询问通过格鲁吉亚收养团聚登记。我们正试图找到你的家人和真相。
丹尼:我有一个美丽的妻子,四个儿女和一个可爱的外孙。我所有的家人,我需要。不过,如果我没有丹尼希
