Two kinds of judgment1 There are two different ways people judge you. Sometimes judging you correctly is the end goal. But there's a second much more common type of judgment where it isn't. We tend to regard all judgments of us as the first type. We'd probably be happier if we realized which are and which aren't.2 The first type of judgment, the type where judging you is the end goal, includes court cases, grades in classes, and most competitions. Such judgments can of course be mistaken, but because the goal is to judge you correctly, there's usually some kind of appeals process. If you feel you've been misjudged, you can protest that you've been treated unfairly.3 Nearly all the judgments made on children are of this type, so we get into the habit early in life of thinking that all judgments are.4 But in fact there is a second much larger class of judgments where judging you is only a means to something else. These include college admissions, hiring and investment decisions, and of course the judgments made in dating. This kind of judgment is not really about you.5 Put yourself in the position of someone selecting players for a national team. Suppose for the sake of simplicity that this is a game with no positions, and that you have to select 20 players. There will be a few stars who clearly should make the team, and many players who clearly shouldn't. The only place your judgment makes a difference is in the borderline cases. Suppose you screw up and underestimate the 20th best player, causing him not to make the team, and his place to be taken by the 21st best. You've still picked a good team. If the players have the usual distribution of ability, the 21st best player will be only slightly worse than the 20th best. Probably the difference between them will be less than the measurement error.6 The 20th best player may feel he has been misjudged. But your goal here wasn't to provide a service estimating people's ability. It was to pick a team, and if the difference between the 20th and 21st best players is less than the measurement error, you've still done that optimally.7 It's a false analogy even to use the word unfair to describe this kind of misjudgment. It's not aimed at producing a correct estimate of any given individual, but at selecting a reasonably optimal set.8 One thing that leads us astray here is that the selector seems to be ina position of power. That makes him seem like a judge. If you regard someone judging you as a customer instead of a judge, the expectation of fairness goes away. The author of a good novel wouldn't complain that readers were unfair for preferring a potboiler with a racy cover. Stupid, perhaps, but not unfair.9 Our early training and our self-centeredness combine to make us believe that every judgment of us is about us. In fact most aren't. This is a rare case where being less self-centered will make people more confident. Once you realize how little most people judging you care about judging you accurately—once you realize that because of the normal distribution of most applicant pools, it matters least to judge accurately in precisely the cases where judgment has the most effect—you won't take rejection so personally.10 And curiously enough, taking rejection less personally may help you to get rejected less often. If you think someone judging you will work hard to judge you correctly, you can afford to be passive. But the more you realize that most judgments are greatly influenced by random, extraneous factors—that most people judging you are more like a fickle novel buyer than a wise and perceptive magistrate—the more you realize you can do things to influence the outcome.11 One good place to apply this principle is in college applications. Most high school students applying to college do it with the usual child's mix of inferiority and self-centeredness: inferiority in that they assume that admissions committees must be all-seeing; self-centeredness in that they assume admissions committees care enough about them to dig down into their application and figure out whether they're good or not. These combine to make applicants passive in applying and hurt when they're rejected. If college applicants realized how quick and impersonal most selection processes are, they'd make more effort to sell themselves, and take the outcome less personally.两种判断判断一个人有两种不同的方式，有时判断的最终目的是正确地判断一个人，不过另外一种则不是如此，并且这种判断要常见得多。
Unit 1Active reading独立思考直到现在，独立思考仍然是一种激进的行为。
独立思考本应该是一种普遍的行为，但事实并非如此。
我们社会的每一次重大进步都源于独立思考。
然而，在大多数圈子里，尤其是在我们生活中的重要场所——如家庭、学校以及大部分工作场所——独立思考受到人们的质疑。
有些机构甚至故意压制独立思考，把它视作危险行为。
在一次晚会上，有一位客人问起我酝酿中的一本书的主题，他让我想起了这个令人悲哀的事实。
我告诉他这本书是关于人们如何相互帮助，培养独立思考能力的。
“啊，天哪！”他说，“我觉得这个主题不怎么好，我更希望人们按指令行事。
”后来我才发现他是一家大公司的第四代掌门人，而这家公司是世界上最大的石油公司之一。
“……要把我们公司发展成一个典范的工作环境，其中各层次的人都能够独立思考。
”你最后一次看到包含上述字眼的机构愿景陈述是在什么时候？而且，最后一次有人问你：“你能说说真心话吗？真心话！”，然后等着你最终给出充分的答案，那又是在什么时候？我们对于缺乏独立思考已习以为常了。
很少有人受到鼓励进行独立思考，更别提接受相关的训练，就连他们的老师、父母和老板也是如此。
而且他们的老师、父母和老板也是如此。
（我们也许已经知道要尊敬像苏格拉底这样的思想家，但同时我们也知道，他正是因为独立思考而被雅典城判处死刑，服毒而亡——这绝非是对独立思考完完全全的鼓励。
）可是，偶尔我们确实能遇到一位真心想让我们发展独立思考能力的人。
他们让我们对独立思考的重要性有了浅略的认识。
我13 岁时被安排学习一门高等代数课程。
这门课的老师曾因迫使学生思考而遭到学生的中伤。
上第一节课时，她站在黑板前说道：“在你们面前的纸上写出一个数字之和。
”全班35个少男少女都愣愣地看着她。
她把要求又重复了一遍：“写出一个数字之和。
”我记得当时握铅笔的手都攥出了汗。
有几个人把头低下，动笔写起来。
我纳闷他们究竟在写些什么。
我看见跟我隔着过道的那个女同学向前探了一下身子，从前座男生的肩膀上方偷窥他正在草草写些什么。

新视界大学英语综合教程第三册第一单元课文翻译及练习答案Active Reading两种判断判断一个人有两种不同的方式，有时判断的最终目的是正确地判断一个人，不过另外一种则不是如此，并且这种判断要常见得多。
我们往往认为所有的判断都属于第一种。
如果能意识到哪些是第一种而哪些不是的话，我们也许会更幸福。
第一种判断，即把正确地判断一个人作为最终目的的判断，包括法院判决、考试成绩及大部分比赛。
这些判断当然可能会有误判，但因为其最终目的是正确地判断一个人，通常会有某种类似于上诉的程序。
如果你觉得别人没有正确评价你，你可以表示反对，说你受到了不公平的待遇。
几乎所有对孩子的判断都属于第一类，所以在小时候我们就养成了这种习惯，认为所有的判断都是这样。
但实际上还有更广泛地存在着的第二类判断，在这种判断中，对你作出判断只是做另一件事的手段。
这包括大学招生、聘用及作投资决定，当然也包括在约会时作出的判断。
这种判断并不是真正意义上对你作出的评价。
假设你要为国家队挑选运动员。
简单起见，假设这是一个没有位置要求的运动，并且你需要挑选二十个运动员。
有一些明星运动员肯定要在队里，还有许多肯定不能入选。
只有那些难作取舍的情况会让你的判断产生差别。
即使你搞砸了，低估了排在第二十名的运动员，使他落选了，他的位置被排在第二十一名的运动员所代替，你还是组建了一支好的队伍。
如果运动员之间的能力分配正常，第二十一名运动员只会比第二十名略微逊色，或者他们之间的差距比测量误差还要小。
那位排在第二十名的运动员可能会觉得自己被错误地判断了。
但是在此你的目的不是为人们提供能力评估服务，而是组建一支队伍，如果排名第二十位的与排名第二十一位的运动员之间的差距比测量误差还小，你还是作了最佳选择。
用“不公平”来形容这种“不正确的判断”是一种错误的类比。
因为在此目的不是为了对某个特定的个体作出正确的评估，而是选择合理的最佳组合。
在此，会误导我们的一点是选择者看起来有点权力。
