How could such extremely plex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry her blood. Any chemical change in the mother’s blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child. In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any plicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children bee deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study. As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal ans connections between nerves and muscles that make it paratively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all anized around music, the child may bee a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be anized about some other center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it paratively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up. 中國最大的資料庫下載 中國最大的資料庫下載 1.

All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, bee ―better‖ people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go. But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis。 sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes. 中國最大的資料庫下載 中國最大的資料庫下載 munication is rendered possible between two conversing partners, if ___. use proper words to carry their ideas. both speak truly of their own feelings. try to understand each other’s ideas beyond words. are capable of associating meaning with their words. 2.―I’m letting off some steam‖ in paragraph 1 means___. ’m just calling your attention. ’m just kidding. ’m just saying the opposite. ’m just giving off some sound. houseowner’s example shows that he actually means___. step has been like that for years. doesn’t think it necessary to fix the step. condition of the step is only a minor fault. cost involved in the fixing should be shared. responses and behaviors may appear very illogic
