Take 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and resear ch into their background and environment. Then predict their ch ances for the future.The students, after consulting social statistics, talking to the boy s, and compiling (汇编) much data, concluded that 90 percent of the boys would sp end some time in prison.Twentyfive years later another group of graduate students was given the job of testing the prediction. They went back to the sa me area. Some of the boys—by then men—were still there, a few had died, some had moved away, but the y got in touch with 180 of the original 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison.Why was it that these men, who had lived in a breeding(滋生)place of crime, had such a surprisingly good record? The res earchers were continually told: “Well, there was a teacher...”They pressed further, and found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same woman. The researchers went to this teacher, now living in a home for retired teachers. How had she exerted (发挥) this remarkable influence over that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys should have remem bered her?“No，” she said, “no I really couldn't.” And then, thinking back o ver the years, she said amusingly, more to herself than to her q uestioners: “I loved those boys.”41．What were a group of graduate students instructed to do?A.
