Learning begins the minute we were born.Our first teachers are our families.At home we learn to talk, dress, and feed ourselves.We learn these and others by following.

  Then we go to school.A teacher tells us what to learn and how to learn.Many teachers teach us and we pass many exams.Then people say we are educated.

  Are we really educated?Let's think about the real meaning of learning.Knowing facts(事实)doesn't mean being able to solve(解决)problems.Solving problems needs creativity(创造力),not just a good memory.Some people who don't know many facts are good at solving problems.

  Henry Ford is a good example.He left school at 15.Later when his company couldn't build cars fast enough, he solved the problem.He thought of the assembly line(装配线).

  Today the answer seems simple.Yet think of the many university graduates(毕业生)who never solved that problem.

  What does a good teacher do?Does he give students facts to remember?Well, yes, we must remember facts.But a good teacher shows how to find answers.He brings us to the stream(溪水)of knowledge, so we can drink.When we are thirsty we know where to go.

  Think of a computer.It stores much information, but it can't think.It only obeys commands(指令).We say a person hasn't learned unless he can use what he has learned.

 We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money, but most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it? Or did he envy my luck?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.?

But when we look back, it is too late.?

Why do we go wrong about our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog!”(你真幸运!) Is he really on your side? If he says, “You're a lucky guy(人,家伙)!”,that is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”, there is a bit of envy in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve your luck.?

“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase that says one thing means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.?

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.?

When the writer recalls(回想) some of the things that happened between him and his friends, he _______.?

A. feels happy, thinking how nice his friends were to him?

B. feels he might not have understood his friends' true feelings?

C. think it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend?
