14、terial purchase， said Whillans.The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall” of $40，only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.“ One reason， said Whillans，is t

15、hat we re very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed.

20、is work and personal lives. “Theres this view that you should suck it up and do one more thing,” says the ER physician and host of CBCs White Coat, Black Art. But that “one more thing” often comes at Goldmans expense.“Youre exhausted and a patient or their family look at you with begging eyes,” he s

21、ays. “So you have this dilemma: say that your shift is over or give until youre totally spent?” Goldmans work stress combined with family tension after his mother was diagnosed with dementia 20 years ago. Caring for her over a decade was difficult, as was dealing with his fathers grief. “When someon

22、e else is drowning you, you have to grab a life preserver and save yourself,” says Goldman.Setting boundaries isnt just important for busy professionals; everyone can benefit from managing situations that cause undue stress or pain. Here are some tips.First, “If someones behavior makes you unhappy -

23、 and it could be anything from the way they speak to you to repeatedly failing to stick to their promise - then theres room to set limits,” says Patrick Keelan, a Calgary psychologist. We often avoid setting limits because we prioritize the happiness and comfort of others over ours. In order to cont

24、rol t hi s im pul se, Goldman suggests framing the development of boundaries as a form of self-kindness. When facing an overwhelming situation like the one he was in with his father, Goldman suggests reflecting on what is making you feel uncomfortable, unhappy or unappreciated. “You cant relate to o

25、thers or be kind to others if you arent kind to yourself,” he says.Second, once youve become aware of your needs, setting and maintaining boundaries requir es clear verbal communication. There are three obstacles to enforcing boundaries in a relationship: fear, guilt and self-doubt, says psychologis

26、t Nicole MaCance. We often fear that if we set limits, the other person will reject us, or we feel bad claiming our needs. Keelan proposes setting ground rules before relationships become tense. Start by cooperatively listing values - like mutual respect, support, and loyalty - and then building the

27、 guidelines from these values. If youre struggling to reach a consensus, Keelan recommends engaging a third party, such as a therapist, to help.Now, if you want a boundary to stick to, you cant enable someone in breaking it. As such, its crucial to establish consequences for transgressions ( 越轨). Ot

28、herwise, McMance says, “youre giving them permission to violate that boundary.” If they wont respect your boundaries, you have to do some soul- searching about the value of the relationship. “When you feel bad more than you feel good in this persons presence, and when the relationship is impacting y

29、our self-worth and happiness, its time to reassess,” says McCance. Saying no is hard, but she suggests framing it as saying yes to healthier relationships. “Were all better mothers and partners and brothers when we have boundaries.”1、What do we know about Goldman?AHe is in need of support in his wor

32、e of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one thats completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see

33、the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see th

34、ose strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane l

42、s, businesses seek to appeal to customers senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was

43、 played, sales of French wines went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure
