简介： When young Mark Robarts was leaving college, his father might well declare that all men began to say all good things to him, and to extol his fortune in that he had a son blessed with an excellent disposition. This father was a physician living at Exeter. He was a gentleman possessed of no private means, but enjoying a lucrative practice, which had enabled him to maintain and educate a family with all the advantages which money can give in this country. Mark was his eldest son and second child a查看详情>

简介： 有抵抗情绪的丈夫　　有一些丈夫在自己那平常追求完美的妻子开始降低对生活中各件事情的标准时，表示不同意。如果您采纳本书中的一些建议但您的丈夫不配合时，他可能只是因为感到困惑及不了解实情。坐下来向他解释您的想法会很有帮助。如果那样做并不起作用，而且他继续对您想要改变自己追求完美的习惯表示恼火，那么，你们可能需要去求助于婚姻问题咨询。每一对夫妻关系都像是跷跷板那样一上一下地在交互作用中求得一种平衡。如果您的改变太突然，则可能把整个婚姻关系弄僵。接受咨询可能有助于你们恢复夫妻关系的平衡。　　有一些女性发现当自己在减少对完美的追求时，丈夫却不能够接受。我曾经接待过一些离开了自己丈夫的来访者，她们是因为不能够再忍受总是需要达到他们那严格的完美主义的理想要求。在几乎所有的这些情况中，女性在没有丈夫的情况下还更快乐一些。快乐着单身比结婚而需要达到病理学上不健康的期望会更好。　　不必着急当决定改变消极的习惯时，人们常常是打算突然作出巨大的改变:久坐不动的人决定开始一天锻炼90分钟，身体超重的人决定减掉100磅。完美主义者甚至更容易出现这种情况，因为她们倾向于进行非黑即白的思维。要尽力抵制住这种马上就要查看详情>

简介： Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge's name was good upon `Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to.Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined,myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the 查看详情>

简介： THE family of Dashwood had long been settled in Sussex. Their estate was large, and their residence was at Norland Park, in the centre of their property, where, for many generations, they had lived in so respectable a manner as to engage the general good opinion of their surrounding acquaintance. The late owner of this estate was a single man, who lived to a very advanced age, and who, for many years of his life, had a constant companion and housekeeper in his sister.

简介： Before the reader is introduced to the modest country medical practitioner who is to be the chief personage of the following tale, it will be well that he should be made acquainted with some particulars as to the locality in which, and the neighbours among whom, our doctor followed his profession.There is a county in the west of England not so full of life, indeed, nor so widely spoken of as some of its manufacturing leviathan brethren in the north, but which is, nevertheless, very dear to those查看详情>

简介： 某公司也许购置了能用钱买到的最好的安全技术，员工们也训练有素，每晚回家前把所有的秘密都锁起来，并从业内最好的保安公司雇用了保安，但这家公司仍然易受攻击。一些人可能遵从了专家所有最好的安全建议，安装了各种受推荐的安全产品，并十分谨慎的处理系统配置以及应用安全补丁，但他们仍然很不安全。人为因素在国会听证会前的一次证言中，我解释到我经常可以从企业获得密码口令或其他类似的敏感信息，只需假扮某人直接开口要就是了。人们对于绝对安全的渴望常常导致他们满足于虚假的安全感之中。想像一位负责任的可爱的屋主，他有一套麦迪科（译者注：Medico,知名品牌、价格昂贵）防撬锁装在屋子的大门上，以保护他的妻子、孩子和他的家。他觉得很心安，因为他把家庭保护的很好。但对于破窗而入和解开车库大门密码的闯入者呢？再安装一套强壮的安全系统么？虽然有用，但还是不够安全。无论防盗锁是昂贵还是便宜，屋主的安全仍然难以保障。为什么？因为人为因素才是安全的软肋。安全，通常情况下仅仅是个幻想，由其是轻信、好奇和无知存在的时候。二十世纪最受尊敬的科学家爱因斯坦这样说道：&ldquo只有两种事物是无穷尽的――宇宙和人类的愚蠢。但对于前者，查看详情>

简介： 夏季最热的日子总算快走到了尽头，一种昏昏欲睡的宁静笼罩着女贞路大大的方形的房子。满是灰尘的汽车闪耀着灯停在了那些曾经是翠绿的而现在却变得被烤焦了的黄色的草坪上┅┅因为橡胶管已经不允许用来浇水了。被剥夺了他们通常的洗车与割草的追击後，女贞路的居民回到了他们阴凉的房子裏，窗户大开为的是毫无希望的能有一凉风的吹过。只有一个14、5岁的小孩子留在了外面，他躺在女贞路四号花台的外面。他是一个瘦小的，有着一头黑发的带眼镜的男孩，尽管看起来有一点营养不良，他在过去的一段时间中也长高了许多。他的牛仔裤被磨损了而且很脏，他穿的T──SHIRT很皱而且褪了色。他的一只运动鞋上面裂开了口。哈利波特的外表并不受到他那些喜欢看被别人法律制裁的邻居的喜爱，但是当他今天晚上藏在八仙花灌木後时，那些过路人就看不见他了。事实上，他只有在他的费农姨夫或佩妮姨妈把头伸出起居室窗外并直接往下面的花台中看时才可能被发现。总的来说，哈利庆幸自己藏在这裏。他也许，躺在这滚烫的、坚硬的土地上，不会很舒服，但从另一方面来说，这裏没人会觉着他刺眼，磨着他们的牙齿的声音让他几乎听不见新闻，或者向他质问一些卑劣的问题，这些事在他每次想要在客查看详情>
