6．The herds of bulls and horses depicted running along the walls of the Lascaux caves in France are among the most magnificent examples of prehistoric art ever discovered．
Courage is a quality we cherish．Yet only lately has it been studied systematically to try to define what it is and is not，where it comes from and why we love it so much．"Courage helps to define the excellent person，"write George Kateb，a political theorist at Princeton University．"One of the worst criticism in the world is to be called a coward，a quite timid person．"
For many people，courage is most readily displayed in battle； for example，the brave soldier running into the line of fire to rescue the injured．
Yet George Kateb says that if courage finds its highest expression in war，then the trait （特性） becomes immoral，ennobling killing by insisting that only in battle can people discover the depths of their nobility．Thus，it makes killing a noble thing．
Stanley J Rachman of the University of British Columbia studies paratroopers （伞兵） preparing for their first jump．The work revealed three different groups：the fearless who jumped without hesitation； the timid whose fear kept them from jumping； and finally，the ones who reacted physiologically like the timid but acted like the fearless leaper，and jumped．
Rachman considered the final group courageous，defining courage as"a behavioral approach in spite of the experience of fear"．Thus，courage becomes the property of anyone who does something that he or she fears．
In interviewing 320children aged from 8to 13，Peter Muris of Erasmus University，Rotterdam，of the Netherlands and his colleagues found that children also consider courage as the conquering of one's fears； and more than 70% claimed they had performed brave acts，including stealing money from one's mother's purse．
Joel Berger，a biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society in Montana，US，also distinguishes between animals that behave bravely due to a lack of awareness and experience，and those that are aware of a danger but proceed anyway．
He recalled the time he and his colleagues had cornered a young bison （野牛） to take blood samples．At that time，an adult male bison was standing guard，refusing to let the scientists approach．"He knew that he could be attacked by us，"said Berger．"I'd call this a courageous，even heroic act．"

78．What does George Kateb think of courage？Courage helps define the excellent person．
79．Why did Rachman think that the third group were courageous？Because they conquered their fears and jumped
80．Peter Muris found that most children demonstrated their courage．by performing bravely and blindly．
81．The writer uses the example of an adult bison to．illustrate/show/prove that animals are also courageous

7．Do you want to love what you do for a living？Follow your passion （激情）．This piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction．But this can be a problem．
I've spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies （策略） we use to seek happiness in our work．It became clear early in the process that the suggestion to"follow your passion"had some mistakes，for it lacks scientific evidence．However，it doesn't mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work．The reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated．
Passion is earned．Different people are looking for different things in their work，but generally，people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features：autonomy，respect，competence，creativity，and a sense of impact．In other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，don't seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have．
Passion is elusive．Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion，but still end up unhappy in their work．The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization．As you become increasingly"valuable"，for example，your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility，as this is what is most useful to your company．However，you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection．
Passion is dangerous．I've watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and constant job-hopping due to the"follow your passion"advice．The issue is expectations．If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion，and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness，reality will always pale in comparison．Work is hard．Not every day is fun．If you're seeking a dream job，you'll end up disappointed，again and again．Don't set out to discover passion．Instead，set out to develop it．This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might support，but it's a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going．
