“斯蒂芬!”比利从教室后面喊道,“160除以7等于多少?”
“22.85714。”斯蒂芬头也没抬地回答。
“太棒了!”比利说着把数字抄进笔记本里。
“斯蒂芬!托马斯的生日是什么时候?”玛丽问道。
“是2月16日,”斯蒂芬说,“而且他出生在一个星期二。”
“哇!”托马斯说道,“你怎么知道的?”
“你告诉我的,”斯蒂芬说,就在去年11月5日下午3点05分。那是九个月零三天、
四个小时又十六分钟之前的事了.”
卡罗尔插嘴道:“这些计算你都是在脑子里完成的吗?”
“是的,当然,”斯蒂芬说,“不然我还能怎么算?”
卡罗尔简直不敢相信自己的耳朵,差点从椅子上摔下来。
“哇!”托马斯说,“我们这儿有一位真正的天才。就在这里,在我们班!”他
看着斯蒂芬,给了他一个大大的微笑。
斯蒂芬的脸涨得通红,像个西红柿一样。“我不是天才,”他轻声说,“我只是
斯蒂芬而已。”
“可你数学这么好,记性又这么好,你肯定是个天才。”托马斯友好地说。
“我可以证明我不是,”斯蒂芬说。
他站起身,开始从同学们那里收集东西:一幅画、一本地理笔记本、一本历史
笔记本和一本英语笔记本。然后他走到了教室前面。
“告诉我你们看到了什么。”斯蒂芬举着卡罗尔的画说。
“一幅超棒的画!”托马斯大声喊道。
接着斯蒂芬拿起了托马斯的地理笔记本。“听好了,”他说,“测试1,A。测试2,
A+。测试3,A+。”
“太棒了!”玛丽喊道。
“现在该你了,玛丽,”斯蒂芬说,“上学期的历史课题一老师评语:一篇出

色的作品。去年的历史课题一老师评语:非常优秀,做得好,玛丽。”
斯蒂芬继续说道:“现在我要给你们读一首诗。”这首诗来自比利的英语笔记本。
“多美的诗啊!”卡罗尔说。
“而且这真是个证明你不是天才的好办法,”托马斯说,“你刚刚向我们证明
了我们所有人都有自己独特的天赋,对不对?”
“希望如此吧,”斯蒂芬说,然后他一言不发地回到了自己的座位上。

你有没有过这样的感受:刷了几个小时的手机后,脑子一片空白?如果有,那
你可能正在经历一种叫“brain rot(脑腐)”的状态!
“Brain rot'”这一术语最早在1854年就被使用了,但现在它用来描述我们长时
间上网一尤其是沉迷短视频或社交软件时会发生的情况。2024年,牛津词典甚至
把它评为年度词汇,因为很多的人在谈论它。

到处找手机!更严重的是,它会让你难以清晰地思考、解决问题或保持冷静。你的
情绪也许会毫无缘由地迅速波动一从开心到沮丧。
好消息是:你不需要吃药来修复它!只要减少看屏幕的时间。试着离线几小时:
读一本真正的书(不是3分钟视频摘要!)、做运动,或者和朋友面对面聊天。这
些简单的习惯能帮助你的大脑好好休息、恢复活力。
把你的大脑想象成一座花园。如果你用好习惯一比如睡眠、阅读和真实对
话一来浇灌它,它就会茁壮成长。很快,创造力、专注力和快乐的花朵就会在你
心里绽放!
所以,放下你的手机—给你的大脑一点新鲜空气吧!

一个阳光明媚的下午,其中一个男孩走到老人身边。“您为什么在这里钓鱼?”
他问道。“水流太急了,不可能有鱼!”老渔夫没有回答,而是提起他的鱼篓,把它
翻了过来。好几条又大又肥的鱼掉了出来,还在草地上活蹦乱跳。
年轻人不敢相信自己的眼睛。“您是怎么在这里抓到这么大的鱼的?”他问道。

鱼来说可能看似困难,但实际上它们帮助鱼长得更大、更强壮。有时候,看似困难

年轻人静静地听着。他意识到老渔夫谈论的不仅仅是鱼一他是在谈论生活。

我来中国已经一个月了。我的中国朋友们十分友善,让我感觉像在家一样,但
我也注意到了一些有趣的礼仪差异。
在英国,人们总是会用“请”这个词来表示礼貌。中国人有他们自己的礼貌方式。
比如在正式场合,他们通常用“您”来称呼他人。如果你想对他人表达礼貌与尊敬,
用“您”准没错。
我还意识到,在面对赞美时,中国人和英国人的表现截然不同。如果有人夸我
中文好,我会很开心,然后告诉对方我很喜欢学习这门语言。但当我夸赞我的中国
朋友时,他们并不会说“谢谢”,反而常常笑着回答“哪里哪里”。他们十分谦虚,
不会坦然接受别人的夸奖。

我共进晚餐,他真是太热情了。他不停地劝我多吃点,还不断往我的盘子里夹菜。
这是他表达对我有多么关心的方式。我吃了很多东西,因为出于礼貌,我不好意思
拒绝!在英国,人们会以一种不同的方式来表达对客人的关心。他们通常会询问是

你有没有想过,你的妈妈做的食物是全世界最好吃的?如今科学表明,你可能
是对的!
英国近期一项研究着手探究为何许多人坚信妈妈做的菜肴最美味。虽然我们很
难判定“全世界最好吃的食物”,但这项研究表明了一个简单而深刻的道理:由我
们的所爱之人烹饪的食物,尝起来确实更美味。
在这项由心理学家查尔斯·斯彭斯主导的实验中,志愿者们被蒙住眼睛,并要
求品尝两款按照完全相同的食谱制作的蛋糕。一款由专业厨师烘焙,另一款则由家
人—通常是志愿者的母亲—制作。
研究人员在人们品尝每款蛋糕时,跟踪了心率并观察了面部表情。每一位志愿
者都更偏爱家庭自制的蛋糕!当他们品尝家人制作的蛋糕时,他们的心率常常上升,
脸上也绽放出笑容。

研究结果很明确:约三分之一的参与者表示,妈妈烹饪的食物最美味,90%的
参与者认为由所爱之人准备的食物就是显得更美味。
但其中的意义不止于吃。40%的参与者分享说共同烘焙拉近了家人距离,67%
的参与者享受使用代代相传的食谱。
正如斯彭斯解释的那样,这项研究表明,美食不仅关乎技艺或完美食材,还关
乎烹饪过程中倾注的关怀与爱一而这是我们真正品尝到的秘密配方。

译文
一天早上,我在我最喜欢的餐厅停下去吃点东西,在一张小桌旁舒服地坐了下
来。没过多久,我注意到有四个年轻人坐在我附近的一桌。简单地互相打过招呼、
点完餐后,他们全都低头看着手机,直到餐品上桌都一直如此。给食物拍完照片后,
他们一边吃饭,一边继续看手机。我不禁疑惑,他们为什么要一起来这里吃饭。他
们是在低头冷落他人或者是手机冷落行为,这是如今一个十分普遍的问题。
你或许不知道“phubbing”这个词,但这种行为你并不陌生。事实上,有32%
的人表示,自己每天会被他人因手机冷落两到三次。
你是否在和别人面对面交谈时,还在手机上与人聊天?你是否在和他人一同用
餐时不停刷着手机,生怕错过什么信息?如果其中任何一个问题你的答案是肯定的,
那你可能就是一个“低头冷落他人的人”。
《低头冷落心理学》一书的作者做过一项调查,发现低头冷落行为对人际关系
的影响极具危害性或具有破坏性。比如,孩子觉得冷落他们的父母不关心他们,这
导致一种被冷落的感觉。此外,被冷落的伴侣可能会因嫉妒与不安而对这段关系不
那么满意。
低头冷落是一种习得行为,因此也可以改掉。从接受这个问题开始。设定不使
用手机的时限,创建一些禁止使用手机的区域。
不要让旨在拉近人与人的距离的现代科技把你与他人隔离开来。
