What do you do when you were born with only two fingers on each hand and your legs were amputated (截肢) at the knees when you were three? Lee Hee-ah1 that in her life. And her legs 2 at her knees. When Lee was born, doctors told her mother Woo Kap-sun that her child wasn't3. But Woo was determined her daughter would4 a successful life.

    We often think that our affairs, great or small, must be tended continuously and in detail, or our world will break apart, and we will lose our places in the universe. That is not true, or if it is true, then our situations were so temporary that they would have collapsed (崩溃} anyway.

    Once a year or so get away for a day. On the eve of my day of absence, I inform housemates, my family and close friends that I will not be reachable for twenty-four hours; then I disconnect the telephone. I sat for at least an hour in a very hot bathtub; then I lay out my clothes in preparation for my morning escape, and knowing that nothing will disturb me, I sleep well.

    On the morning I wake naturally, for I will have set no clock, nor informed my body timepiece when it should alarm. I dress in comfortable shoes and casual clothes and leave my house going no place. If I am living in a city, I wander streets, window-shop, or stare at buildings. I enter and leave public parks, libraries, and theatres. I stay in no place for very long.

    Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously, separates the past from the future. Jobs, family and friends can exist one day without any one of us. Each person deserves the day in which no problems are faced up to, no solutions searched for, We need hours of aimless wandering or sitting on park benches, observing the mysterious world of ants.

    If we step away for a time, we are not as many may think, being irresponsible, but rather we are preparing ourselves to more ably perform our duties. When I return home, Jam always surprised to find some questions I sought to evade had been answered and some entanglements (瓜葛) I had hoped to flee had become separated out in my absence. A day away can help drive away the bitterness, transform hesitation, and renew the spirit.

    Green spaces within and around city schools improve the mental development of young children, a study has found. The findings may partly be explained by reduced exposure to traffic pollution, experts believe. Other influences could include the psychological effect of having views of fields and trees rather than roads and buildings.

    The Spanish researchers found each degree of increase in surrounding greenness led to a 5% improvement in the development of short-term, or working memory over a period of one year. It also improved the progress of "superior working memory”—the ability to update memories. with changing information—by 6%，and reduced inattentiveness. Computer analysis suggested that carbon from traffic might account for up to 65% of the trend.

    The researchers carried out mental performance tests on 2, 593 children attending 36 primary schools in Barcelona every three months for a year. Over the study period, participants' working memory increased by an average of 22.8%, and superior working memory by 15.2%, while inattentiveness decreased by 18. 9%.

    The researchers wrote, "Approximately one half of the world population lives in cities, and by 2030, three in five persons will live in urban areas worldwide, Urban areas are a network of non-natural built-up structures with increased pollutant levels and less green environments. Children's exposure to these pollutants has been associated with harmful impacts on their mental development. Our findings suggest a beneficial impact of greens paces exposure on mental development. "

    British experts said the study was interesting, but pointed out some limitations. Professor Andy Jones, from Norwich medical school, said, “The measure of green space used was the number of plants in the neighborhoods of the children and their schools. It was not a direct measure of usable green spaces, like public parks, although they will be included. " Dr Ross Cameron, at the University of Sheffield, said, “The authors suggest a causal link between air quality and green space. They admit, however, that this factor only seems to explain part of their correlations(相互关系), ”

    Self-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies? People disagree on the answer.

    To understand the challenge, imagine a car suddenly meets some pedestrians in the road. It's too late to avoid a crash. So the car's artificial intelligence must decide whether to swerve(急转弯), To save the pedestrians, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into oncoming traffic:? What if such options :would likely kill the car's driver?

    Researchers used online survey to study people's attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed automated cars should be designed to protect the most people. That included swerving into walls to save a larger number of pedestrians. However, those same surveyed want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs-even if the pedestrians would now end up dying. Jean-Francois Bonnefon, a psychologist at the Toulouse School of Economics, and his colleagues reported their findings in Science.

    “Automated cars can revolutionize transportation, says study coauthor Iyad Rahwan. But he adds, this new technology creates a moral (道德的) dilemma that could slow its acceptance.

    Makers of computerized cars are at a loss for what to do next. Most buyers would want their cars to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However, regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers. If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost.

    Compromises(妥协) might be possible, another psychologist, Kurt Gray says. He thinks if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will drop. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they “won't speed, won't drive drunk and won't text while driving, which would be a win for society. "

    Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet(磁铁)       And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.

    So how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success? First, do what you believe to be right, even if others laugh at you for it      If you believe you can, then you really will. The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.

    Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think. What's more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes can not be avoided        Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices. Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through.

    With your determination and improvement, you are getting closer to success. At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments. “Thanks, I really worked hard on the road to success. I'm pleased you recognize my efforts.      Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it       Besides, whether you're working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it's well worth the effort!
