11、uble with the hall monitor!Im so stupid!My friend burst out laughing,and then made her“Olympic comment.After a brief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right.I did put myself down an awful lot.Why,just during the previous day I had called myself“a slobfor having some papers spread out

12、on my desk,“ugly when I left the house without makeup and“an idiot when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan.In a more reflective tone,Annabel said,“I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ou

18、wing that almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.By contrast,only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago.It also found that grown-up sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents

20、ly home having initially left to study.Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to choose to live with their parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe.Rising property prices,mounting student debts and the effects of recession on the j

21、ob market have forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally be moving out.But commentators warned that the phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing“dire prospects than simply a desire to save money.While the proportion of those of

27、rly 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe.I asked Isaac Stern,one of the worlds greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon.“It is very clear,he told me.“They were allJews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world.The

28、y were not allowed into the professional fields,but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.As a result,every Jewish parents dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies,I found,is a society that
