Unit1 赞美之词的魔力1、一次，一位百老汇喜剧演员做了一个噩梦：他梦见自己在一个座无虚席的剧场里讲故事、唱歌，数以千计的人们看着他—但是没有人笑或拍手。

“即使一个星期能赚10万美元，”他说，“那也像人间地狱一般。

”2、不仅演员需要掌声，没有赞扬和鼓励，任何人都会失去信心。

因此，我们都有着双重需求：被别人称赞以及懂得如何去称赞别人。

说赞美的话是有技巧的，有正确的说法。

比如，因为某些显而易见的成就而去表扬一个人，这不是真正的赞扬。

你得运用辨别力和创造力。

“您今晚的演讲很精彩、很有说服力，”一次，一位和蔼可亲的女士对一位商人说，“我禁不住想，您肯定也能当一名出色的律师。

”听到这意外的溢美之词，那位商人像个男生般地脸红了。

3、无论声名显赫还是默默无闻，没有一个人会对真诚的赞赏无动于衷。

耶鲁著名的英语教授威廉·里昂·费尔普斯讲述道:“一个炎热的夏日，我走进一家拥挤的饭馆吃中饭。

服务员递给我菜单时，我说，‘今天厨房里的小伙子们肯定在受罪！’服务员惊讶地看着我说：‘来这儿的人都抱怨菜的味道不好，对服务评头论足，还埋怨太闷热。

19年了，你是第一个对后面厨房里的厨师们表示同情的人。

’人们所需要的，”费尔普斯下结论道，“是作为人能得到一点点关注。

”在那种关注中，真诚是至关重要的。

当劳作了一天的男人回家时看见孩子们将脸贴在窗上、张望着等待他，他也许会感到这种无声而珍贵的语言如甘露一般涤荡了他的心灵。

4、孩子们尤其渴望鼓励。

童年时如果得不到善意的赞赏，将会危及性格的发展。

一位年轻妈妈向A·W·比文牧师讲述了一件让人伤心的事：“我的小女儿常常不听话，我不得不批评她。

但是有一天，她特别乖，没有做一件会挨批评的事。

当天晚上，我给她盖好被子、准备下楼时，听见她在抽泣。

我走回去，发现她把头埋在枕头里。

她一边呜咽一边问：‘难道我今天还不够乖吗？’”5、“那个问题，”那位妈妈说，“像把刀一样刺痛了我。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第四册UNIT3Unit 3Text APre-reading ActivitiesFirst Listening Before Listening to the tape, have a quick look at the following words.smallpox 天花stuck 被难住了cowpox 牛痘lateral thinking 横向思维vertical 纵向的；垂直的Second Listening Listen to the tape again and then choose tne best answer to each of the following questions.1. How did Dr. Jenner solve the problem of smallpox? A) By studying many, many sick people. B) By studying people who didn't get sick. C) By studying lateral thinking. D) With help from Dr. de Bono.2. The key to lateral thinking is _________. A) never giving up B) getting help from others C) moving sideways D) changing you point of view3. The saying, "When thegoing gets tough, the tough get going" expresses________. A) the aggressive attitude of vertical thinking B) traditionally western lateral thinking C) a way to change your point of view D) how Edward de Bono likes to solve problems 4. The main purpose of this passage is ________. A) to discuss a major medical breakthrough B) to introduce a new concept of problem solving C) to talk about the life of Edward de Bono D) to contrast Eastern and Western ways of thinkingHow to Change Your Point of ViewCaroline SeebohmDr. Edward Jenner was busy trying to solve the problem of smallpox. After studying case after case, he still found no possible cure. He had reached an impasse in his thinking. At this point, he changed his tactics. Instead of focusing on people who had smallpox, he switched his attention to people who did not have smallpox. It turned out that dairymaids apparently never got the disease. From the discovery that harmless cowpox gave protection against deadly smallpox came vaccination and the end of smallpox as a scourge in the western world. We often reach an impasse in our thinking. We are looking at a problem and trying to solve it and it seems there is a dead end. It is on these occasions that we bee tense, we feel pressured, overwhelmed, in a state of stress. We struggle vainly, fighting to solve the problem. Dr. Jenner, however, did something about this situation.He stopped fighting the problem and simply changed his point of view—from his patients to dairy maids. Picture the process going something like this: Suppose the brain is a puter. This puter has absorbed into its memory bank all your history, your experiences, your training, your information received through life; and it is programmed according to all this data. To change your point of view, you must reprogramme your puter, thus freeing yourself to take in new ideas and develop new ways of looking at things. Dr. Jenner, in effect, by reprogramming his puter, erased the old way of looking at his smallpox problem and was free toreceive new alternatives. That's all very well, you may say, but how do we actually do that? Doctor and philosopher Edward de Bono has e up with a techniquefor changing our point of view, and he calls itLateral Thinking. The normal Western approach to a problem is to fight it. The saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going," is typical of this aggressive attitude toward problem-solving. No matter what the problem is, or the techniques available for solving it, the framework produced by our Western way of thinking is fight. Dr. de Bono calls this vertical thinking; the traditional, sequential, Aristotelian thinking of logic, moving firmly from one step to the next, like toy blocks being built one on top of the other. The flaw is, of course, that if at any pointone of the steps is not reached, or one of the toy blocks is incorrectly placed, then the whole structure collapses. Impasse is reached, and frustration, tension, feelings of fight take over. Lateral thinking,Dr. de Bono says, is a new technique of thinking about things—a technique that avoids this fight altogether, and solves the problem in an entirely unexpected fashion. In one of Sherlock Holmes's cases, his assistant, Dr. Watson, pointed out that a certain dog was of no importance to the case because it did not appear to have done anything. Sherlock Holmes took the opposite point of view and maintained that the fact the dog had done nothing was of the utmost significance, for it should have been expected to do something, and on this basic he solved the case. Lateral thinking sounds simple. And it is. Once you have solved a problem laterally, you wonder how you could ever have been hung up on it. The key is making that vital shift in emphasis, that sidestepping of the problem, instead of attacking it head-on. Dr. A. A. Bridger, psychiatrist at Columbia University and in private practice in New York, explains how lateral thinking works with his patients. "Many people e to me wanting to stop smoking, for instance," he says. "Most people fail when they are trying to stop smoking because they wind up telling themselves, 'No, I will not smoke; no, 1 shall not smoke; no, I will not; no, I cannot...' It's a fight and what happens is you end up smoking more." "So instead of looking at the problem from the old ways of no, and fighting it, I show them a whole new point of view—that you are your body's keeper, and your body is something through which you experience life. If you stop to think about it, there's really something helpless about your body. It can do nothing for itself. It has no choice, it islike a baby's body. You begin then a whole new way of looking at it—‘I am now going to take care of myself, and give myself some respect and protection, by not smoking.' “There is a Japanese parable about a donkey tied to a pole by a rope. The rope rubs tight against his neck. The more the donkey fights and pulls on the rope, the tighter and tighter it gets around his throat—until he winds up dead. On the other hand, as soon as he stops fighting, he finds that the rope gets slack, he can walk around, maybe find some grass to eat...That's the same principle: The more you fight something the more anxious you bee—the more you're involved in a bad pattern, the more difficult it is to escape pain. "Lateral thinking," Dr. Bridger goes on, "is simply approaching a problem with what I wouldcall an Eastern flanking maneuver. You know, when azen archer wants to hit the target with a bow and arrow, he doesn't concentrate on the target, he concentrates rather on what he has in his hands, so when he lets the arrow go, his focus is on the arrow, rather than the target. This is what an Easternflanking maneuver implies—instead of approaching the target directly, you approach it from a sideways point of view—or laterally instead of vertically." "I think the answer lies in that direction," affirms Dr. Bridger. "Take the situation where someone is in a crisis. The Chinese word for crisis is divided intotwo characters, one meaning danger and the other meaning opportunity. We in the Western world focusonly upon the ‘d anger' aspect of crisis. Crisis in Western civilization has e to mean danger, period. Andyet the word can also mean opportunity. Let us now suggest to the person in crisis that he cease concentrating so upon the dangers involved and the difficulties, and concentrate instead upon the opportunity—for there is always opportunity in crisis. Looking at a crisis from an opportunity point of view is a lateral thought."
