Lesson69 But not murder!

I was being tested for a driving license for the third time. I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully. After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test. The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said, 'Just one more thing, Mr. Eames. Let us suppose that a child suddenly crosses the road in front of you. As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet.' I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly. Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. I suddenly pressed the brake pedal hard and we were both thrown forward. The examiner looked at me sadly. 'Mr. Eames,' he said, in a mournful voice,' you have just killed that child!'

练习感悟：

朗读时间不长，事情比较多，就在晚上回来之后挤出时间读了半小时英语。朗读英语已经变成了每天最轻松的任务，舒缓压力提升能力。截至00：20，依然写了朗读总结的人一共有28个，比之前的40多个又减少了一点。一个朗读群有2000人，即使有14个人在一个群里坚持下来，那这个百分数也太小了。从这个事例里，我看到的是持续努力的神奇之处就是，即使在一个群体努力气氛很好的地方，也总是有绝大部分人是缺乏耐性一直做下去的，这就给能够坚持的人一个强力的杠杆，让自己的持续努力效用呈几何式的凸显。

一句话，就是干。
