简介： It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way&mdashin short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its nois查看详情>

简介： He laughed &mdash a large, wholesome laugh &mdash and this began a dissertation on the rights of a man to do what he liked with his own creations, which being a matter of purely professional interest, I will mercifully omit.Returning to the big chair, he, speaking of truth and the like in literature, said that an autobiography was the one work in which a man, against his own will and in spite of his utmost striving to the contrary, revealed himself in his true light to the world.&lsquoA good dea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>

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： Ennis Del Mar wakes before five, wind rocking the trailer, hissing in around the aluminum door and window frames. The shirts hanging on a nail shudder slightly in the draft. He gets up, scratching the grey wedge of belly and pubic hair, shuffles to the gas burner, pours leftover coffee in a chipped enamel pan the flame swathes it in blue. He turns on the tap and urinates in the sink, pulls on his shirt and jeans, his worn boots, stamping the heels against the floor to get them full on. The wind 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>
