A

Nowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse, such as gatherings of

friends, KTV, group travel, dining tighter, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinese-style

“street-crossing group.” Back home, discussions can still be

boisterously carried on within the “circle

of friends” of WeChat.

However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor

of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion: “My loneliness increases as scene becomes much busier.”

One popular song today is also called “A lonely man in crowds.” Actually, engaging in social intercourse

requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.

These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to one’s true self. Willpower, intellect and

discipline are required. Einstein said: “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines

the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.” The “spare time” he referred to could be

taken as “spending time by yourself.”

Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending

on one’s quality, ambition and inspiration.

Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs. However,

information, to processed and integrated(融入)into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle(忙碌)seems to be the right condition. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that

“the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”. In a sense, it may be reasonable to say

that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”.

Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality

happiness.

(2017·南昌二模)Next time you are blamed for bad behavior, mainly blame it on the whole apple, pear

or any other uncut food that your parents packed in your lunch box.That’s because biting into anything

that requires the use of the front teeth, is likely to cause rude behavior in kids! At least that’s

the conclusion some researchers from Cornell University have made, after observing the behavior of 12

students at a summer camp.

The researchers began by dividing the students into two groups.On the first day, one group was given 精 品 试 卷

so that the only way to eat it was with a fork.The following day, the food was exchanged, so that the

first group received the small pieces and forks, while the second, enjoyed the chicken on the bone.Each

day the camp counselors also gave the kids strict instructions to let them stay within a circle with

a 9－foot radius.

The researcher recorded both the meal time and then asked behavioral experts to evaluate what

happened.They agreed that the kids that were required to bite the food were twice as likely to show

aggressive behavior and disobey the adults, as those that focused on eating their food with forks.Of

course, the latter also showed some rude behavior.If that isn’t bad enough, the former group was also

more likely to leave their special circle and even, stand and jump on the picnic tables!
