30、o, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window
31、 was dirty.

32、 I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.Th
33、at was quite an important lesson for me.

Theyre taking part
38、in a new experiment by Oxford University to see if later classes can improve their exam results.Grades 10 students in the UK have to take the nationwide General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams. They have to pass these exams in order to study more advanced courses, and later apply for
39、 universities.The Oxford University project means that GCSE students from more than 100 schools across England will start school at 10 am, more than one hour later than the current start time (8:50 am).The project is based on scientific evidence that teenagers are “out of sync(同步)” with traditional
40、school hours, the Telegraph reported. And what they need is more sleep in the morning.“We know that something funny happens when youre a teenager, in that you seem to be out of sync with the world,” said professor Colin Epsie, who is leading the study. “Your parents think its because you are lazy an
41、d opinionated（固执己见的）and everything will be OK if you could get to sleep earlier.

42、 awake until 9-10 am, according to scientists. Thats two hours later than adults. And their body clocks stay like this until the age of around 21 for males, and 19 for females.“Society provides school for learning, but the brain provides sleep. So we are exploring the possibility that if you delay t
43、he schools start time until 10 am, that will improve learning performance,” said Epsie.The results could be positive, based on previous studies.An early study at the UKs Monkseaton High School in 2009 found that starting an hour later improved grades in core subjects by 19 percent.The Oxford project

49、ur kids as they head off to school.American parents are feeling particularly anxious about that question this year. The educational process feels more than ever like a race, one that starts in pre-school and doesnt end until your child is admitted to the perfect college. Most parents are more worrie

And what we dont think about enough is how to help our children build their characterhow to help them develop skills like perseverance, optimism, responsibility, and self-control, which together do more to determine success tha
51、n S.A.T. scores or I.Q.There is growing evidence that our anxiety about our childrens school performance may actually be holding them back from learning some of these valuable skills. If youre concerned only with a childs G.P.A., then you will likely choose to minimize the challenges the child faces
52、 in school. With real challenge comes the risk of real failure. And in a competitive academic environment, the idea of failure can be very scary, to students and parents alike.But experiencing failure is a critical part of building character. Recent research by a team of psychologists found that adu

54、ate a sense of mastery over past adversity, and foster beliefs in the ability to cope successfully in the future.”By contrast, when we protect our children from every possible failurewhen we call their teachers to get an extension on a paper; when we urge them to choose only those subjects theyre go
55、od atwe are denying them those same character-building experiences. As the psychologists Madeline Levine and Dan Kindlon have written, that can lead to difficulties in adolescence and young adulthood, when overprotected young people finally confront real problems on their own and dont know how to ov
