How many times have you got upset because someone wasn’t doing his job，because your child isn’t behaving？How many times have you been irritated (恼怒的) when you’ve planned something carefully and things didn’t go as you’d hoped?

This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us—it’s part of the human experiences.

One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie，or cut me off in traffic.Actually，I have a lot of these little annoyances—don’t we all？And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.

Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind：see_the_glass_as_already_broken.

See，the cause of our stress，anger and irritation is that things don’t go the way we like，the way we expect them to.Think of how many times this has been true for you.And so the solution is simple：expect things to go wrong，expect things to be different than we hoped or planned，expect the unexpected to happen.And accept it.

One quick example：on our recent trip to Japan，I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do　　 on a trip.I told them，“See it as part of the adventure.”

And this worked like a charm.When we inevitably (不可避免地) took the wrong train on a foreign­language subway system，or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea，or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children’s Castle closed on Mondays...they said，“It’s part of the adventure！” And it was all OK—we didn’t get too bothered.

So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day，you might get upset.But things will be different，if you see the glass as already broken，from the day you get it.You know it’ll break some day，so from the beginning，see it as already broken.Be a time­traveler，or someone with time­traveling vision，and see the future of this glass，from this moment until it inevitably breaks.And when it breaks，you won’t be upset or sad—because it was already broken，from the day you got it.And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.

If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a brother’s or sister’s name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved you less?

Probably not. According to the first research to deal with this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive (认知的) error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.

The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition, found that the “wrong” name is not random but is always fished out from the same relationship pond: children, friends, brothers and sisters. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin, “but it does tell us who’s in and who’s out of the group.”

The study also found that within that group, misnamings occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.

The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them – family or friend – had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and brothers and sisters but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.

In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry.

1.How might people often feel when they were misnamed?

A.Unwanted. B.Unhappy. C.Confused. D.Indifferent.

2.What did David Rubin’s research find about misnaming?

A.It is related to the way our memories work.

B.It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.

C.It occurs mostly between kids and their friends.

D.It often causes misunderstandings among people.

3.What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming?

A.It more often than not hurts relationships.

B.It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.

C.It is most frequently found in extended families.

D.It most often occurs within a relationship group.

4.Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers?

A.They suffer more frustrations.

B.They become worn out more often.

C.They communicate more with their children.

D.They generally take on more work at home.
