Unit 1We are not unlike a particularly hardy crusacean.The lobster grows by developing and shedding a series of hard, protective shells. Each time it expands from within, the confining shell must be sloughed off. It is left exposed and vulnerable until, in time , a new covering grows to replace the old.With each passage from one stage of human growth to the next we, too, must shed a protective structure. We are left exposed and vulnerable, but also yeasty and embryonic again, capable of stretching in ways we hadn’t known before. These sheddings may take several years or more. Coming out of each passage, though, we enter a longer and more stable period in which we can expect relative tranquility and a sense of equilibrium regained…As we shall see, each person engages the steps of development in his or her own characteristic step-style. Some people never complete the whole sequence. And none of us “solves” with one step---by jumping out of the parental home into a job or marriage, for example --- the problems in separating from the caregivers of childhood. Nor do we “achieve”autonomy once and for all by converting our dreams into concrete goals, even when we attain those goals. The central issues or tasks of one period are never fully completed, tied up, and cast aside. But when they lose their primacy and the current life structure has served its purpose, we are ready to move on to the next period.我们人类成长的过程与海里的虾蟹颇相似。
