Then she looked at my father and replied, “ You are wrong .

Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn(固执的 ) mom or dad, the situation can be bad. What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts(冲突 ) could be turned into chances to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved? Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, bad feelings can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different. In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they re not being listened to. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. You want your brother or sister to listen and care. But you always seem to forget that the person you re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you ll have your turn to be listened to.And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional(情绪激动的 ) situations is to pay no attention to most of the words because many people can t express what they are feeling with the words alone, especially when they are upset. But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time. This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Feelings will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together. 49.

Bournemouth University of UK recently carried out a study, trying to find whether super recognizers have a different way to process (处理) faces. They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person s nose. 55 . Their super ability is limited( 有限的 ) only to face recognition. Another important finding is that there are subtypes( 子类型 ) of super recognition. Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people. These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. 56 . Super recognizers could help match faces in CCTV footage( 闭路电视镜头 ).
