2、when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old；some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those wal
3、ls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner. “I, uhI want to climb the stone walls,” I said. Everyone looked up. “Can I climb the stone walls?” Immediately voices of disagreement went up from t
4、he women in the room. “Heavens, no! Youll hurt yourself!” I wasnt too disappointed；the response was just as Id expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfathers loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn t

11、the 19141918 War were equipped with heavy wool uniforms, which were extremely hot during the humid summers.

12、ady in Websters Dictionary of American English. By the time of the 19391945 war, it had become standard tissue clothing for USA soldiers.At first, it was regarded as an undershirt, and was never worn as “outerwear”. However, the performances of two charming Hollywood movie stars, Marion Brando and J

Our purpose is to fit them for life In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free e
19、ducation for allone can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nationBut we can already see that free education for all is not enoughWe find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degreeThey refuse to do what they think “low” work, and, in fact, work with hand
20、s is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.

21、 the rubbish away from our houses，we should get terrible diseases in our towns In fact，when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life，it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we

26、hich he(or she)is the center”. Many communication scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them and of the messages others send them. But every day we experience the centrality of our selves in communication. A student, for instance, may describe a conflict
27、 with a teacher as unfair treatment：“I know my teacher doesnt like the fact that I dont agree with his opinions, and thats why he gave me such a poor grade in that class. ”The teacher might say the opposite. Each person may believe that he is correct and that the other persons view is wrong. The con
28、cept of self originates in communication. Through verbal and nonverbal symbols, a child learns to accept roles in response to the expectations of others. You establish self-image. The sort of person you believe you are, by how others think of you. Positive, negative, and neutral messages that you re
29、ceive from others all play a role in determining who you are. Communication itself is probably best understood as a dialogue process. Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people. In a more obvious way, communication involves others in the sense that a competent c
30、ommunicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share. So, the communication begins with the self, as defined largely by others, and involves others, as defined largely by the self. Communication occurs almost every minute of your life. If you are not communi
31、cating with yourself(thinking, planning, reacting to the world around you), you are observing others and drawing inferences from their behavior. Even if the other person did not intend a message for you, you gather observations and draw specific conclusions. A person yawns and you believe that perso
32、n is bored with your message. A second person looks away from you and you conclude that person is not listening to you. A third person smiles(perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently) and you believe that he is attracted to you. We are continually picking up meanings from others behav
33、iors and we are constantly providing behaviors that have communicative value for them. More often than not, you may have hurt someone accidentally and you may have tried to explain that you did not mean that. You may have told the other person that you were sorry for your statement. You may have mad
34、e a joke out of your rude statement. Nonetheless, your comment remains both in the mind of the other person and in your own mind. You cannot go back in time and erase your messages to others. Communication cannot be reversed, nor can it be repeated. When you tried to recreate the atmosphere, the con
35、versation, and the setting, nothing seemed right. Your second experience with a similar setting and person made far different results.
