I WALK DOWN THE STREET.

THERE IS A HOLE.

I DON'T SEE IT.

I FALL IN.

IT ISN'T MY FAULT.

IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO GET OUT.

 

I WALK DOWN THE SAME STREET,

THERE IS STILL A DEEP HOLE.

I PRETEND NOT TO SEE IT.

I FALL IN.

I PRETEND IT'S STILL NOT MY FAULT.

IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET OUT.

 

I WALK DOWN THE SAME STREET.

THERE IS STILL THE SAME DEEP HOLE.

I SEE IT.

I FALL IN ANYWAY.

IT'S A HABIT.

I GET OUT QUICKER THIS TIME.

 

I WALK DOWN THE SAME STREET.

THERE IS A DEEP HOLE.

I SEE IT.

I WALK AROUND IT.

I DON'T FALL IN.

 

I WALK DOWN A DIFFERENT STREET.

自倪萍拿起话筒主持《综艺大观》到放下话筒淡出大众的视线，我一直喜欢她。当我第一次听到有人说她“太煽情”、“做作”、“老套”和“眨眼睛”的时候，我非常地惊讶。后来听多了，承认的确有这样的看法存在，但始终没有办法撼动我对倪萍的喜爱。为什么喜欢她？因为我真的被她打动。我发自内心地感觉得到她的朴实和真诚，每次当有人认为她在煽情的时候，我是真的觉得---第一她真的有这样的感情，第二她在适中并得体地表达着（也许为了不愠不火她还压抑了稍许呢）。当她不是正面镜头，而是要和其他人互动，比如和她介绍的劳模或灾区代表互动的时候，在她的眼角余光里能清楚地看到一份始终如一的诚敬。

 

她主动退出一线主持人的岗位后，我读过她写的《日子》。当时印象最深的是她似乎终于遇到了一个懂得她的美与好的伴侣。我的直觉是她是一个疼人的人，所以会是贤妻良母。所以惟愿她相伴的人也怜惜她。

 

之后我也没有跟踪关于她的消息，直到今天才知道她转拍影视。突然看到《娱乐现场独家：倪萍捐款一百万背后的故事》，每一句话，都实实在在、不简单。尤其是'做好事让人知道了，心理就变了,方向就变了''做好事要常好、长远的'.

Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.
- Charles Mackay

There was an old woman in China who had supported a monk for over twenty years. She had built a little hut for him and fed him while he was meditating. Finally she wondered just what progress he had made in all this time.

To find out, she obtained the help of a girl rich in desire. 'Go and embrace him,' she told her, 'and then ask him suddenly: 'What now?''

The girl called upon the monk and without much ado caressed him, asking him what he was going to do about it.

'An old tree grows on a cold rock in winter,' replied the monk somewhat poetically. 'Nowhere is there any warmth.'

The girl returned and related what he had said.

'To think I fed that fellow for twenty years!' exclaimed the old woman in anger. 'He showed no consideration for your need, no disposition to explain your condition. He need not have responded to passion, but at least he could have evidenced some compassion;'

She at once went to the hut of the monk and burned it down.

 

Larry, a local football star, is jogging down the street when he sees a building on fire. A lady is standing on a third story ledge holding her cat in her arms.

'Hey, lady', yells Larry, 'Throw me the cat!'

'No,' she cries, 'It's too far!'

'I play football. I can catch him!'

The smoke is pouring from the windows. The woman kisses her cat goodbye and tosses it down to the street.

Larry keeps his eye on the cat as it comes hurtling down toward him. The feline bounces off an awning and he runs into the street to catch it. He jumps six feet into the air and makes a spectacular one-handed catch. The crowd that has gathered to watch the fire breaks into cheers.

Larry does a little dance, lifts the cat above his head, wiggles his knees back and forth, then spikes the cat into the pavement.

 

 

长期以来，人们一直认为婴儿不懂事。但科学家发现，其实婴儿对成年人行为的判断力超乎寻常，他们对成年人的恶劣行为也深恶痛绝。

 　　

能区分好人和坏人 　　

 

美国耶鲁大学专家们为了印证婴儿的“知人之明”，向两组分别为6个月和10个月大的婴儿演示一个“木偶表演”，他们用3个不同形状的木偶扮演3个角色：试图登山的“攀登者”、代表“好人”的“帮助者”和代表“坏人”的“阻碍者”。“帮助者”协助“攀登者”爬上山，而“阻碍者”则将“攀登者”推下山。 　　

随后，研究人员将“帮助者”和“阻碍者”的木偶放在一起，让婴儿挑选，结果16名10个月大的宝宝中，有14个更喜欢“帮助者”，12名6个月大的宝宝选择的则全是“好人”。这表明婴儿们对“乐于助人”的“帮助者”更有好感。 　　

 

能判断成人表情 　　

 

婴儿的判断力超乎我们的想象，他们的神经能感受到许多成人无法察觉的东西。半岁大的婴儿能区分2张猴子脸的不同点，而成人则无法看出来。 　　

 

多年来对婴儿的研究还表明，婴儿能够判断成人的脸部表情。将毕加索画像里的眼睛和
