After one migration (迁移) the next comes more easily. New arrivals in America usually want to settle down and work as quickly as they can, but they may well move again sooner or later. American life has always had its element of change, of movement, some say of restlessness, and this is still so now. In some states only one house in five has people living in it who have been there for more than five years.
In this story of constant movement we think at first of the early pioneers journeying westwards, taking a step further the adventure that had brought them or their parents across the Atlantic. Now there is movement, short or long, in every direction. Some leave their homes because changing economic conditions have put them out of work; others (more commonly now) go to better jobs, or move because they have been promoted.
Even now some go without security and full of anxiety; but others, more fortunate, can move in comfort, with a good job and a new home ready for

As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.
Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads. It had a "Slow" sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, "You didn’t stop at the crossing."

Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’ re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’ re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation (感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions--those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.
Psychologists have known that one person’ s perception (感知) of another’ s "warmth" is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either "warm" or "cold" is a primary consideration, even beating evidence that a "cold" person may be more capable.
