18、ll far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,”she said. Then she wrote it at the bottom of all her letters. Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his

19、students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting（承认） that though she liked it, she didnt know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a re

20、staurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper first, after thinking about it in her mind for days.“Heres the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies（想象） include painting the classrooms of shabby（破旧的） schools, leaving hot meals on k

21、itchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread.

Four out of ten babies born in the United States do not form a strong relationship with either parent, and they will pay for that in the rest of their lives.New research from Princeton University confirms what other researchers have alr

56、eady found: the number of babies who are lack of the close relationship is rather big, which prevents them having a fair chance of having a successful life.That finding is supported by many other research projects, including a study from the University of Rochester showing that nearly one third of U

57、S parents dont know what to expect from their newborns, or how to help them grow and learn and get along with others. Babies, as others have pointed out, dont come with an owners guide book.The basic problem, according to the Princetons study, is that 40 per cent of babies in the US live in fear or

58、distrust of their parents, and that will turn into aggressiveness (侵犯), defiance (违抗) and hyperactivity (多动) as they grow into adults.Of that number, 25 per cent dont have a close relationship with their parents because the parents dont satisfy their needs. And 15 per cent find their parents are so

59、troubling that they will avoid them whenever possible.That will not necessarily result in a lifetime of violence, but it will make living a successful life much more difficult.“They can overcome(克服) it,” sociologist Sophie Moullin of Princeton, the leader of that study, said in a telephone interview

60、. “Its not a make-or-break situation, but they might find it harder to control their behaviour.”Moullin, alongwithhis teammates from Columbia University and the University of Bristol in England, studied more than 100 research projects, to reach their conclusions.Many reasons lead to the problem, inc
