The Sixth Sense When you were a child, did you ever wonder how your mother knew when you were writing on the wal I with crayons （蜡笔）,even though she couldn t possibly see or hear

2、you .,. Or why she always came outside and called you just as you headed for forbidden territory How did she know If you asked her, she probably told you that it was her mother s intuition. That never reaIly explained anything, but it gave you someth i ng to think about. Just exact I y what is a mot

3、her* s intuition Unfortunately, not even mothers who profess to having it can explain exact I y what it i s. Some would say it was a sixth sense or a funny feeling that prompted them to check on their children s whereabouts and activities. Others have cI a i med to hear a voice inside their heads th

4、at cal led their chi Idren s names or had a flash vision0 of what the i r ch i I dren were do ing. In any event, a I most every mother seems to have i t and wi I I swear by its rel iabi I ity. A typ i ca I examp Ie of this ability is the case of a woman who claims that her intuition prevented each o

5、f her five chiIdren from serious mishaps. Once she awoke in the middle of the night and felt the need to check on her son Paul, who was three years old at the time. He wash t in his bed, so she raced down the stairs to find him. She found him outside, sleepwalking, headed straight toward a fl ight o

6、f concrete steps. Then again, there was a time when one of her daughters fel I off a horse and broke her arm. The child neither cried nor ye I led for help. But the mother, sens i ng that someth i ng was wrong, came out of the house and found her in a field just minutes after the accident. How did s

7、he know Just a fee I ing, M she said, that something was wrong. The concept that peopIe are capable of having a sixth sense is not a new one. Numerous studies of ESP (extra sensory perception) have been under way for decades. What they have revealed only supports the theory that peopIe axe capable o

8、f having and using another sense beyond sight, sound, smeI I, taste and touch. But no single group of peop I e seems to have this ability as cons i stent I y as mothers do Why is this Some theorize that the close and intimate relationship that mother and child have for the first years of a child s I

9、ife sets up an empathy (感情移入)that no other re I at i onsh ip cou I d poss ibly dup I i cate. In other words, a mother tunes in to the thoughts and behavior of her child more than any other person could. Therefore, even though she may be preoccupied with household chores or soc i a I activities, a pa

10、rt of her is constant Iy alert for her ch iId s safety. Not an unreasonable theorysince most of us axe the product of our mothers devotion. But how does this explain why a mother wi I I know that her child is in danger, even though the child itself may not be aware of it This is the question wh i ch

11、 has kept mother s intuit ion a mystery. Someth i ng beyond that wh i ch we can logically explain somehow seems to warn a mother when her child approaches danger. An interesting iI lustration of this sixth sense involves the famous escape artist, Houdini. As the story goes, Houdini was planning to p

12、erform an escape from a steel trunk wrapped in chains and dropped into a frozen r iver. Because the river was so cold, he d only have a few minutes to escape in order to survive. They wrapped Houdini in a straight jacket, Iocked him into the trunk, secured thepassed to make it apparent that Houdini

13、s escape had fai ledf the grief-stricken party left the scene and reported that Houdini had died. One friend remained at the hole in the ice, not yet convineed that Houdini had drowned. To his utter amazement, Houdini did indeed surface at the spot. When the half-frozen artist had recovered enough,

14、he told his friend that he had not accounted for the current of the river under the ice. The river had carried the trunk downstream and when he got out of the trunk, he couldn t find the hole cut into the ice. He managed to get oxygen from air pockets caught between the ice and the water, but he had

15、 no way of finding the hole through the thick ice. Then he heard his mother s voice calling him. He foil owed her voice, and it led him to the hole in the ice where his friend was waiting. This was amazingf f i rst, because his mother I ived in another city and was nowhere near the scene of the froz

16、en river. But more amazing than that was the fact that, when Houdini tried to cal I his mother, he was informed that she had died just hours before. What had told Houdini s mother that he was in danger-even beyond the grave How had she been able to protect her child in spite of the fact that she was

Both are important, accomplishments because they give the empIoyee a sense of pride in the work and a basis on which to build future achievements, and areas for improvement, because they give the empIoyee some go

While praise for past achievements may be used as a reward, at the time of the evaluation, the primary reason to look at the persons success is to determine areas in which he or she can continue to excel （擅长）. Pe

28、rhaps the most effective way to make the evaIuation a participatory event is to ask the empIoyee to come prepared to the meeting. The employer and empIoyee each should carefully review the job descr ipt ion pr ior to the evaIuat ion meet ing and shouId make notes on areas i n wh i ch the emp I oyee
