1 I received an email from a reader who asked, “Why do some friendships end, no matter how much you want them to last?”She referred to提到having seen the question in one of my articles, Mystery神秘的事物,迷of Friendship.As I wrote in it, I don’t think easy answers exist as to how friendships start, why some turn into lifetime ones, and why some end. Although I’ve tried answering thefirst two questions in other articles (To Have A Friend and BeA Friend), I still get surprised by friendships that endure and disillusioned使幻想破灭by ones that slip away.消逝Even so, I’ll try to offer some insights洞察,深刻的见解here as to why friendships end.我收到一个读者的电子邮件,他在邮件中问到,为什么有些友谊不管你多么想维系它却还是会终结,该读者说她曾在我发表的一篇文章《友谊之谜》中简单过这个问题。

正如我在文章中所说,对于友谊是如何开始的、为什么有些友谊会终结这类问题,我认为没有简单的答案,虽然我在别的文章中《拥有一个朋友》和《做一个朋友》常识回答过前两个问题,但是,我任然对那些经久不衰的友谊感到惊讶,也对那些逝去的友谊感到失望。

Unit 1After living in the 24-hour city of Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. My daughter wanted a horse. My husband wanted property. My son wanted a dirt bike. I wanted our family to be more self-sufficient.None of us felt that this could be acplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, Arizona, a very small town of less than 1,000 people. It was while I was scanning listings from our real estate agent that I first learned of it. There was a home for sale there on 40 acres. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost dismissed the idea immediately.The property was off the grid. It was not connected whatsoever to any utilities — power, water orsewer. Power was supplied by a wind turbine and solar panels. Water had to be hauled in and stored in two tanks located on the property. Forty acres would give us plenty of room for all of our animals and give my husband and son space to ride their ATVs. Besides, what better way is there to bee more self-sustainable? After giving it some thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling and stayed in our motor home. We were confronted with real challenges at the time. The power kept going out, the main water line to the house broke, the plumbing backed up into the front yard and the generator died.But the setbacks just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days in the RV. The next challenge was to bee familiar with your power system, and to learn the ins and outs of hauling your own water and generating your own power.Our off-the-grid system consists of eight solar panels (1,000 watts) that are mounted on a sun tracker rack. We also have a wind turbine that generates 3,000 watts in 24 mph winds. The energy generated by the wind and sun is stored in 16 6v golf cart batteries. We also have two 2,500-gallon above-ground water tanks and a 250-gallon propane tank. Every weekend, we haul two 275-gallon water tanks to the nearby town of Yucca and fill them with water, which we then pump into our big water tanks.While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, there are many benefits to living off the grid. I think one of the greatest is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power and gas for granted. The first week we were here, we used almost 1,000 gallons of water. With only a5,000-gallon water tank, it didn’t take them long to understand that we had to use less water. We started taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth or shaving.Over-consumption is even more clearly demonstrated by our electricity usage. We have a digital readout of how many volts of DC power we have stored in our batteries at any given time. If you turn on a light or the TV, the number goes down. In order to protect the batteries, the system is set up to shut the inverter off if the volts get too low. Then the power goes out. When we first moved in, we lost power almost daily. After this happens a few times, it bees clear very quickly just how often you waste electricity. Everything from lights and ceiling fans to puters and radios were left on when they were not in use. The cell phone chargers were plugged in even when they weren’t charging anything. All of this uses unnecessary power. We are steadily learning to bemore diligent with our power usage.In addition, we are also trying to make other changes. They include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling and posting, growing our own organic vegetables, and reusing and repurposing things that we would normally toss. We also want to produce our own eggs and goat’s milk in the near future.Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. We have learned how to conserve power and water and to really appreciate what the earth gives to us every day. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.I receive d an email from a reader who asked, “Why do some friendships end, no matter how much you want them to last?” She referred to having seen the question in one of my articles, Mystery of Friendship. As I wrote in it, I don’t think easy answers exist as to how friendships start, why some turn into lifetime ones, and why some end. Although I’ve tried answering the first two questions in other articles (To Have A Friend and Be A Friend), I still get surprised by friendships that endure and disillusioned by ones that slip away. Even so, I’ll try to offer some insights here as to why friendships end.My simple answer is that friendships end because the situations friends are in or even the friends themselves change. Others have similar answers. First, the situations friends face may change. The decision to relocate for a new school or job cannot help but affect a friendship. Likewise, if a friend is in an accident, develops an illness, or loses someone close, these situations cannot help but affect a friendship. Does a friendship need to end because of these changes? No, but it’ll require adjustments that one or both friends might not be willing to make. Second, the friends themselves may change. A significant reason that friendships often end when friendsare apart for an extended period of time (for summer camp, college, etc.) is that one or both of the friends change. I think it hurts less when both friends change, because then the breakup is more often mutual and so both friends get closure by both deciding to let go and move forward in their lives without eachother. What tends to hurt most is when just one friend changes. One friend might change social circles,bee involved in new social organizations, start to date, get a pet, or take on someother venture that consumes more time and passion. Again, a friendship can endure these changes, unless one or both of the friends for some reason decide not to invest the time and energy involved in the adjustment period. (For example, one friend might forget the importance of the friendship due to the high of having a new pet or might feel that the change is impossible to overe when one gets married but the other is still single.) In this situation, breakups may not be mutual and so one or both friends feel betrayed and end up with bitter memories about what was a precious friendship to them.There are other reasons why friendships end. For example, as much as two people might want a friendshipto survive, one or both of them might unintentionally neglect it. Friendship is often pared to a flowergarden. Well, if flowers don’t get exposed regularly enough to sunlight and don’t get watered enough, flowers will wither and even die. The same applies to friendship. If week after week passes where plans are made to spend time together but are never honored, perhaps due to taking a friendship for granted, eventually even the closest of friendships may cease to have a reason to exist.Conflicts can also cause the end of friendships. If the flower is a fledgling plant, one blow might destroy it just as sometimes relatively young friendships aren’t strong enough to endure much conflict. Even those amazing close friendships, where friends love us no matter what our faults are, need care when it es to conflicts. Sure, ifa flourishing flower gets stepped on, it might revive on its own. Moreover, if it gets a little extra special care, it’ll probably bounce back as if it hadn’t ever been injured. At the same time, if a flower gets repeatedly trampled on, it’ll probably eventually break. Especially the friendships that have been around for a long time can endure storms, and even bee stronger for them, but most friendships have breaking points.Nevertheless, while we can rarely predict at the outset which ones will last, most friendships do enrich us for however short or long they’re a part of our lives.In the sleepiness at the end of a library nap, I wasn’t sure where I was. I stretched out my arm to reach for a human being, but what I grabbed was a used copy of The Odyssey, the book about going home. My heart ached.It was 2 a.m. The library, flooded with white fluorescent light and smelling of musty books and sweaty sneakers, was eerily quiet. My readings seemed endless. I had been admitted into a three-course, yearlong freshman program called Directed Studies, dubbed Directed Suicide by Yalies. It was supposed to introduce us to “the splendors of Western civilization,” in the words of the catalog, by force-feeding the canons of philosophy, literature and history.I wanted very much to study the Western canon, because I knew nothing about it. Yes, McDonald’s ads and Madonna posters were plastered on Shanghai streets, but few Western ideas filtered through. We had been informed of Karl Marx’s habit of sitting at the same spot in the British Library, for instance, but had read none of his original words. Western civilization was different, mysterious and thus alluring. Besides, because I longed to be accepted here, I yearned to understand American society. What better way to prehend it than to study the very ideas on which it is based?But at 2 a.m., I was tired of them all: Homer, Virgil, Herodotus and Plato. Their words were dull and the presentations difficult to follow. The professors here do not teach in the same way that teachers in Chinado. Studying humanities in China means memorizing all the “correct,” standard interpretations given during lectures. Here, professors ask provocative questions and let the students argue, research and write papers on their own. At Yale, I often waited for the end-of-class “correct” answers, which never came.Learning humanities was secure repetition in China, but it was shaky originality here. And it could be even shakier for me. The name Agamemnon was impossibly long to pronounce, and as a result I di dn’t recognize it when we were discussing him in the seminars. I had written my first English essay ever just a year earlier, when applying to colleges, and now came the papers analyzing the canons. And I simply didn’t write in English fast enough to take notes in classes.I hoped my diligence would make up for lack of preparation. On weekend nights, when my American roommates were out on dates, I would tell them I had planned a date with Dante or Aristotle. (They didn’t think it was funny.)On one of those weekend nights, I wrote a paper on Aeneas, the protagonist of The Aeneid, who was destined to found Rome but reluctant to leave behind his native Troy. “Aeneas agonizes,” Iwrote. “He hesitates. Natural instincts call him to stick to the past, while at the same time, he feels obligatedto obey his father’s instructions for the future. His present life is split, pulled apart by the bygone days and by the days to e. ” I saw myself in what I wrote.During calls home every two weeks, my mother pleaded with me to take chemistry or biology. Science was the same everywhere, she said. And I, like everybody else from China, was well prepared in math, physics and chemistry. (To graduate from a standard six-year Chinese high school, one needs to take five years of physics, four years of chemistry and three years of biology.)Instead, I visited the writing tutor — there is one in every undergraduate residential hall — for every paper I turned in. My papers were always written days before they were due. I lingered after classes to question professors. My classmates lent me their notes so I could learn the skill of note-taking in English.By the time I missed home so much that soup dumplings and sautéed eels popped up in my head as I read, Nietzsche had replaced Plato on the chronological reading list and Flaubert Homer. And every paper of mine came back with an A.脱离电网的生活:一家城市居民如何发现了简单生活艾莉森·佐谢尔1.在内华达州的不眠之城拉斯维加斯生活了将近十年之后,我和我的家人决定放慢生活节奏。

Universities Encourage New Students to Go It AloneSun Xiaochen1 With an eye to increasing college students’ independence and improving their social skills, Chinese universities are encouraging freshmen to enroll by themselves without their parents’ help.2 It used to be quite a scene when families accompanied their children to college enrollment in China.3 Vehicles packed with luggage usually filled campuses, while parents carrying bags would follow their children everywhere to help them handle procedures and get them settled in at dormitories.4 However, it was a different scene at Tsinghua University on Wednesday, when more than 3,000 freshmen reported to school and finished all the procedures themselves.5 A yellow line drawn across the entrance of the school arena separated parents from their children, who entered the gym alone with their documentation. The students would spend as much as three hours dealing with the enrollment procedures, including department registration, credential collection and room distribution.6 Senior schoolmates helped new students transfer their baggage and explore the campus.7 The move, launched by Tsinghua University last year, is expected to improve young Chinese people’s self-reliance and independent spirit at a crucial stage of life, university President Chen Jining said.8 “An important goal of higher education is cultivating students’ independent personalities, which should be embodied in every process of campus life,” said Chen, who wrote a brief message with the admission letter that encouraged students to leave their parents behind on enrollment day.9 “How can youngsters grow up with their parents spoiling them and taking care of everything? We expect to make a difference from the beginning.”10 The call got a positive response from students.11 Feng Lei, a student from Gansu province who will study hydraulic engineering, took a 25-hour train ride to Beijing with only one schoolmate.12 “It’s my first long trip without my parents, and I am actually quite excited about it,” he said. “Coming to the university opens a new stage of my life, andI should learn to take care of myself from the start.”13 Feng said he has already made three new friends after enrollment and it really helps to get to know each other.14 Inspired by Tsinghua, other universities have also launched their own campaigns to encourage students to enroll alone. Experts said these independence-improving initiatives should be promoted.15 “The lack of independence has been a major conce rn for kids born in the 1990s as parents arranged everything, which instead hampered their all-around development,” said Xiong Bingqi, vice-president of the 21th Century Education Research Institute.16 “Such campaigns will help them realize that they hav e to live their lives on their own, and schools should provide more independence-developing programs to go with academic education.”高校鼓励新生独立孙晓晨1 着眼于提高高校大学生的独立能力和改善他们的社交能力,中国高校正在鼓励新生不要父母陪伴独自去学校报到。

Unit 1After living in the 24-hour city of Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. My daughter wanted a horse. My husband wanted property. My son wanted a dirt bike. I wanted our family to be more self-sufficient.None of us felt that this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, Arizona, a very small town of less than 1,000 people. It was while I was scanning listings from our real estate agent that I first learned of it. There was a home for sale there on 40 acres. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost dismissed the idea immediately.The property was off the grid. It was not connected whatsoever to any utilities —power, water orsewer. Power was supplied by a wind turbine and solar panels. Water had to be hauled in and stored in two tanks located on the property. Forty acres would give us plenty of room for all of our animals and give my husband and son space to ride their ATVs. Besides, what better way is there to become more self- sustainable? After giving it some thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling and stayed in our motor home. We were confronted with real challenges at the time. The power kept going out, the main water line to the house broke, the plumbing backed up into the front yard and the generator died.But the setbacks just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days in the RV. The next challenge was to become familiar with your power system, and to learn the ins and outs of hauling your own water and generating your own power.Our off-the-grid system consists of eight solar panels (1,000 watts) that are mounted on a sun tracker rack. We also have a wind turbine that generates 3,000 watts in 24 mph winds. The energy generated by the wind and sun is stored in 16 6v golf cart batteries. We also have two 2,500-gallon above-ground water tanks and a 250-gallon propane tank. Every weekend, we haul two 275-gallon water tanks to the nearby town of Yucca and fill them with water, which we then pump into our big water tanks.While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, there are many benefits to living off the grid. I think one of the greatest is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power and gas for granted. The first week we were here, we used almost 1,000 gallons of water. With only a 5,000- gallon water tank, it didn ' t take them long to understand that we had to useessl water. We started takingquicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth or shaving.Over-consumption is even more clearly demonstrated by our electricity usage. We have a digital readout of how many volts of DC power we have stored in our batteries at any given time. If you turn on a light or the TV, the number goes down. In order to protect the batteries, the system is set up to shut the inverter off if the volts get too low. Then the power goes out. When we first moved in, we lost power almost daily. After this happens a few times, it becomes clear very quickly just how often you waste electricity. Everything from lights and ceiling fans to computers and radios were left on when they were not in use. The cell phone chargers were plugged in even when they weren 't charging anythingA. ll of this uses unnecessary power. We are steadily learning to be more diligent with our power usage.In addition, we are also trying to make other changes. They include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling and composting, growing our own organic vegetables, and reusing and repurposing things that we would normally toss. We also want to produce our own eggs and goat ' s milk in the near future.Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. We have learned how to conserve power and water and to really appreciate what the earth gives to us every day. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.Unit 3I received an email from a reader who asked, “ Why do some friendshniposmeantdte, r how much you wantthem to last? Sh”e referred to having seen the question in one of my articles, Mystery of Friendship . As I wrote in it, I don ' t think easy answers exist as to how friendships start, why some turn into lifetime ones, and why some end. Although I ' ve tried answering the first two questions in other articles ( To Have A Friend and Be A Friend ), I still get surprised by friendships that endure and disillusioned by ones that slip away. Even so, I ' ll try to offersome insights here as to why friendships end.My simple answer is that friendships end because the situations friends are in or even the friends themselves change. Others have similar answers. First, the situations friends face may change. The decision to relocate for a new school or job cannot help but affect a friendship. Likewise, if a friend is in an accident, develops an illness, or loses someone close, these situations cannot help but affect a friendship. Does a friendship need to end because of these changes? No, but it ' ll require adjustments that one or both friends might not be willing to make.Second, the friends themselves may change. A significant reason that friendships often end when friends are apart for an extended period of time (for summer camp, college, etc.) is that one or both of the friends change. I think it hurts less when both friends change, because then the breakup is more often mutual and so both friends get closure by both deciding to let go and move forward in their lives without each other. What tends to hurt most is when just one friend changes. One friend might change social circles, become involved in new social organizations, start to date, get a pet, or take on some other venture that consumes more time and passion. Again, a friendship can endure these changes, unless one or both of the friends for some reason decide not to invest the time and energy involved in the adjustment period. (For example, one friend might forget the importance of the friendship due to the high of having a new pet or might feel that the change is impossible to overcome when one gets married but the other is still single.) In this situation, breakups may not be mutual and so one or both friends feel betrayed and end up with bitter memories about what was a precious friendship to them.There are other reasons why friendships end. For example, as much as two people might want a friendship to survive, one or both of them might unintentionally neglect it. Friendship is often compared to a flower garden. Well, if flowers don 'extpgoested regularly enough to sunlight and don ' t get watered enough, flowers willwither and even die. The same applies to friendship. If week after week passes where plans are made to spend time together but are never honored, perhaps due to taking a friendship for granted, eventually even the closest of friendships may cease to have a reason to exist.Conflicts can also cause the end of friendships. If the flower is a fledgling plant, one blow might destroy it just as sometimes relatively young friendships aren ' t strong enough to endure much cEonvfelinctt.hose amazingclose friendships, where friends love us no matter what our faults are, need care when it comes to conflicts. Sure, if a flourishing flower gets stepped on, it might revive on its own. Moreover, if it gets a little extra special care, it 'll probablybounce back as if it hadn't ever ibnejuerned. At the same time, if a flower gets repeatedly trampledon, it ' ll probably eventually break.Especially the friendships that have been around for a long time can endure storms, and even become stronger for them, but most friendships have breaking points.Nevertheless, while we can rarely predict at the outset which ones will last, most friendships do enrich us for however short or long they ' re a part of our lives.In the sleepiness at the end of a library nap, I wasn 'wat s.uIrestwrehtcehr e dI out my arm to reach for a human being, but what I grabbed was a used copy of The Odyssey , the book about going home. My heart ached.It was 2 a.m. The library, flooded with white fluorescent light and smelling of musty books and sweaty sneakers, was eerily quiet. My readings seemed endless. I had been admitted into a three-course, yearlong freshman program called Directed Studies, dubbed Directed Suicide by Yalies. It was supposed to introduce us to “the splendors of Western civilization, in the word”s of the catalog, by force-feeding the canons of philosophy,literature and history.I wanted very much to study the Western canon, because I knew nothing about it. Yes, McDonald 's ads and Madonna posters were plastered on Shanghai streets, but few Western ideas filtered through. We had been informed of Karl Marx 's habit of sitting at the samsepot in the British Library, for instance, but had read none of his original words. Western civilization was different, mysterious and thus alluring. Besides, because I longed to be accepted here, I yearned to understand American society. What better way to comprehend it than to study the very ideas on which it is based?But at 2 a.m., I was tired of them all: Homer, Virgil, Herodotus and Plato. Their words were dull and the presentations difficult to follow. The professors here do not teach in the same way that teachers in China do. Studying humanities in China means memorizing all the “ correct, ” stainntedraprrdetations given duringlectures. Here, professors ask provocative questions and let the students argue, research and write papers on their own. At Yale, I often waited for the end-of- class “ correct ” answers, which never came.Learning humanities was secure repetition in China, but it was shaky originality here. And it could be even shakier for me. The name Agamemnon was impossibly long to pronounce, and as a result I didn 't recognize i when we were discussing him in the seminars. I had written my first English essay ever just a year earlier, when applying to colleges, and now came the papers analyzing the canons. And I simply didn 't write in English fast enough to take notes in classes.I hoped my diligence would make up for lack of preparation. On weekend nights, when my American roommates were out on dates, I would tell them I had planned a date with Dante or Aristotle. (They didn 't think it was funny.)On one of those weekend nights, I wrote a paper on Aeneas, the protagonist of The Aeneid , who was destined to found Rome but reluctant to leave behind his native Troy. “ Aeneas agonizes, ” I wrote. “ Hehesitates. Natural instincts call him to stick to the past, while at the same time, he feels obligated to obey his father 's instructions for the futureH. is present life is split, pulled apart by the bygone days and by the days to come. ”I saw myself in what I wrote.During calls home every two weeks, my mother pleaded with me to take chemistry or biology. Science was the same everywhere, she said. And I, like everybody else from China, was well prepared in math, physics and chemistry. (To graduate from a standard six-year Chinese high school, one needs to take five years of physics, four years of chemistry and three years of biology.)

Their home hunting ended up in a very small town in Arizona where they purchased a house on 40 acres that was not only off the grid, but without access to any (public) utilities. Just imagine the challenges facing them, such as generating their own power and hauling their own water. However, they worked hard and succeeded in making the adjustment in a few months. In addition, they benefited a lot from living off the grid there. Most important of all, they came to know the importance of conservation and learned how to conserve power and water and how to reuse things, etc. In other words they learned how to live green.2.2 Digging into detail1.

It involves the ability to plan and prioritize tasks effectively in order to make the most of the limited time available. In the context of university studies, timemanagement becomes even more significant as students are faced with multiple deadlines and a multitude of responsibilities.Having effective time management skills allows students to achieve a balance between their academic and personal lives. By carefully planning their schedules, students can allocate sufficient time for studying, attending classes, and completing assignments, while also having time for extracurricular activities and socializing. Without proper time management, students often find themselves overwhelmed with a backlog of tasks, leading to stress, anxiety, and a decline in their academic performance.One key aspect of time management is the ability to prioritize tasks according to their importance and deadlines. By identifying the most urgent and significant tasks, students can allocate additional time and resources to ensure that these tasks are completed on time and to a high standard. Prioritization also helps students avoid wasting time on less important tasks and allows them to focus their energy on tasks that will contribute the most to their academic success.Another essential component of time management is effective planning and organization. Students should create a weekly or monthly schedule that includes all their academicand personal commitments. This allows them to have a clear overview of their upcoming tasks and helps them avoid last-minute rushes or missed deadlines. Breaking down larger tasks into smaller, manageable parts can also make them less overwhelming and easier to accomplish.In addition to planning and prioritizing, time management also involves self-discipline and the ability to resist distractions. With the advent of technology, students are often tempted to spend excessive amounts of time on social media or other online activities, which can severely impact their productivity. Developing the discipline to set aside specific time slots for leisure activities and sticking to those schedules can greatly enhance productivity and make better use of time.In conclusion, time management is an essential skill for university students to develop in order to succeed academically and maintain a balanced lifestyle. By planning, prioritizing, and organizing their tasks effectively, students can optimize their productivity, reduce stress, and achieve their goals. With proper time management, students can make the most of their university experience and set themselves up for future success.。

All Grown Up andStill in TowSherri Beattie1 My heart went out to him. In fact, I felt so uncomfortable thatI looked away. How humiliating to be in a university registrar’soffice with your father taking charge.2 As I stood in line, waiting for my own question to beanswered, I reflected on how times have changed.3 I am as old as, if not older than, most faculty members.4 Nonetheless, I do remember what it was like to be an 18-year-old undergraduate. The first-year experience is exciting,liberating and terrifying, all combined to help us grow intoadulthood. That is, if our parents don’t come with us.5 The young man at the counter had some sort of registrationproblem. It is inevitable in the first year. The woman behind thecounter clearly felt, as I did, embarrassed for this young man,who was accompanied by his no doubt well-intentioned, butmisguided, father.6 Dad did the talking while his son struggled to lift his eyesand look at the woman trying to help them. I thought aboutthose small bits of self-confidence that were so painstakinglybuilt in boyhood, and how they were being crushed at thecounter. What I saw was a student who looked perfectly able toask a few questions and get the information he needed.7 I grew very angry. “Oh, grow up, go home,” I wanted toshout at Dad from my place in the line.8 I was equally shocked as I sat in a seminar for 500 first-yearteaching assistants and was told what to do when Mom and/or Dad shows up in your office complaining about the marksor assignments that you have given to their children. It is a veryreal issue in universities thesedays.9 Baby-boomer parents seem to struggle with two things:saying no and letting go. The teaching assistants massedtogether in the theatre were advised to send unhappy parentsdirectly to professors. I sat in disbelief, but yes, it happens.10 Mom and Dad, your children are no longer children.Rather, they are eagerly trying to be adults. So whatever areyou doing in line with them at the registrar’s office?11 Twenty years ago, when I first entered university, parentsdid not follow their children all the way there. My parentsdropped me at the front door of St. Hilda’s College at theUniversity of Toronto and drove five hours back home.12 I was not ready, prepared or clearly aware about whatwould happen over the course of the next four years, but Imuddled through. From professors and teaching assistants toregistrars and student-loan officers, I learned to find my waythrough the perils and pleasures of university life. Naturally, Imade mistakes, but then I still do.13 Were my parents not caring or uninterested? Not at all.What they were not was university-educated baby-boomers whobelieve all events must be designed and controlled and thateverything I did was a direct reflection on them.14 My parents came from another generation. They never setfoot in a university. They were pleased, and supportive, when Idecided to attend but they considered me an adult at 18.15 The incident I saw in the registrar’s office was not anunusual sight. I wish it were. Rather, about six people behindme in line, I discovered another parent-child grouping. This timea son was pleading with his mother to stay put while he went tothe counter and dealt with the problem himself. They were stillnegotiating when I left.16 Too many baby-boomer parents are overly concerned withsuccess. They just don’t want to let go.17 When I tell my mother that I have won a scholarship andwill undertake graduate research in Europe this fall she says,“That’s nice, dear.”18 My mother would argue that my success is my own. I wouldargue that my success is a result of being allowed the freedomto make mistakes and find my own way.19 To parent s whose children are at tending first-yearuniversity, just remember they have all grown up now. It is timefor you to do the same.只好仍跟随着父母的成年孩子谢丽·比蒂1 我十分同情这位男孩。

WWII Love Letters Telling of Romance and TragedyBy Michael E.Ruane1It was not until three years after her mother died in1990that DeRonda Elliott opened the suitcase containing the letters her parents exchanged during World War II.2Despite her mother’s urging,she had never been able to bring herself to read them.It was her parents’private story.Her father,Frank,had been killed on D-Day,June6,1944,and afterward her mother seldom spoke of him.3When Elliott,a retired nurse from Durham,N.C.,finally examined the correspondence in1993, she was overwhelmed.4Frank M.Elliott,23,who had left Georgetown University to join the Army in1943,wrote from England.Pauline“Polly”Elliott,24,wrote from their home in New Castle,Pa.Their daughter, DeRonda“Dee,”was a toddler.5(31days to D-Day)May6,1944Dearest Darling,All day I have been fighting the feeling which has been dominating me of late.I keep continually thinking of home and longing for home in the worst way.All your letters of how beautiful my daughter is becoming by the day.The realization that I am missing all these months and years of her formative growth is actually gnawing at my heart....I love you,Frank6(28days to D-Day)May9,1944Dearest,The invasion,I read,is a topic of daily conjecture among the people at home and I guess you area bit worried.Well,sweetheart,don’t worry,please.It is possible I may be a member in the assault but no more possible than that I may someday die.It is God’s will darling,to which we must all bow.In prep school we had a quarterback who always ended his pre-game prayers with the addition of the phrase,“Not my will God,but Thine”and so it is sweetheart and so it must always be—we must trust our God unflinchingly,unquestioningly.I love’em all but Polly best of all—Frank7(17days to D-Day)May20,1944Darling,Dad sent a fellow today to fix up our yard and he really did a super job—it looks nice.All the spring flowers are beginning to bloom now and the sight of them just increases my longing for you....Sometimes I sympathize with myself by counting up the months since I’ve seen you—and because they are too many—nearly eight now—I feel very,very sorry for myself....Really dear,I try not to feel sorry for me,you are the one who is undergoing all the hardship.I have Dee who in herself is enough to compensate for anything.Without her,I don’t see how I would endure this separation.Yet constantly,darling,all of me longs for you.It can’t be much longer now,sweetheart.I love you,Polly8(10days to D-Day)May27,1944Hi Darling,...Darn it darling,I would certainly like to be on hand when Dee goes to see her first movie.Take her to Youngstown,Pittsburgh or Cleveland to one of those theatres with a long impressive lobby with candy counters and attractive posters.I’ll bet she will love it.Don’t postpone her enjoyment till I come home,but let me know how she reacts to all the glamour of Hollywood3’s productions....Frank9(9days to D-Day)May28,1944Darling—Here it is Sunday again—Sunday night.I think this is the most lonely time of the whole week for me.I am so darn lonesome for you,Frank darling.Oh I’m not the only one and I know it—there are millions just like me,wishing with all the strength of their hearts and minds for the return of peace and loved ones.—Dee is sleeping on this Sunday night,and the radio is playing old and beautiful music—and I am thinking of the Sunday nights to come when you will be listening to such music with me.I adore you,Polly10(1day to D-Day)June5,1944Darling,...This is a beautiful summer evening,darling.I am sitting at the kitchen table from which place by merely lifting my head and looking out the window I can gaze upon a truly silvery,full moon. It’s beautiful,dear,and it has succeeded in making me very sentimental.The sight of that shining moon up there—the moon that shines on you,too—fills me with romance.The darned old moon keeps shining for us,darling—and even as it now increases that inescapable loneliness,it also increases my confidence in the future.I truly love you...Polly11(D-Day)June6,1944Frank M.Elliott was killed.二战情书:浪漫悲情迈克尔·E·鲁安1迪隆德·埃利奥特的母亲于1990年去世,三年后她才终于打开了装有父母二战期间来往书信的那个箱子。
