The producer appeared behind the recording studio window and grinned and waved to me like an old friend. And after I had read out a little test piece, he said： "That's fine, wonderful, your voice is perfect. lovely, gorgeous. "Then I read a longer passage in English about the delights of touring in Britain, and another about the delights of visiting London, and both were ‘fantastic’ and ‘just right’, and I began to consider a career in radio.To be frank.I was fairly confident in spite of lack of experience. Across the room in the Hamburg news agency where we both work, a colleague named Peter Turner had called to me,“I say, Mike, a chap on the phone here wants someone to do a recording in English, and I'm booked up. Would you read something to him in English as a sort of test?”I did, and they said，“Perfect, lovely, gorgeous etc.,would I come round?”It was after reading the passage in English in the studio that they noticed my vowel pronunciations were not altogether King's English, or even Prince. Philip's； there was a larger silence than usual, then the voice said,“Fine, lovely...but you said the word ‘castle’ with a short ‘a’. Could we have the passage again please, but this time say ‘carsele’。"This was easy. But then he noticed other differences in my pronunciation.“It's my northern English accent”.I said,angry because I had to apologise for it.“Oh, I see...but Mr.Jamieson, we'll have to get it right, I'm afraid. The recording is for teaching English to German school children, and it must be spoken in the way it is taught in German schools."I read the passage again...，and again..., and again. But of course you cannot change the pronunciation of a lifetime in an hour. The studio men became desperate and underlined the offending vowels, so that I'd remember them. Few, really. But because I had to concentrate on them, I made a lot of mistakes in my reading. Everyone got somewhat irritable, so we all went out for a beer.Why did Mike's reading of the passage get worse?

People have thought very differently about children in different historical eras. In ancient Rome and throughout the Middle Ages, for example, childhood was brief： A boy or girl was considered an "infant" until the age of six, but soon afterward worked alongside adults in the fields, in the workshops, or at home. Children were thought to be born in a state of sin and were viewed as the property of their fathers. Such beliefs contributed to strict discipline of children and neglect of their special needs.These harsh attitudes softened during the Renaissance and Enlightenment as the humanistic spirit of the times caused a rediscovery of the special qualities of childhood. In paintings, for example. young children were depicted as playing and doing other childish things, rather than being shown as miniature adults. The importance of childhood as a unique period of development was understood more fully in the 17th and 18th centuries, as reflected in the writings of two important European thinkers： the English philosopher John Locke and the French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau. John Locke argued that the newborn infant comes into the world with no inherited predispositions （天性），but rather with a mind as a "blank slate" that is gradually filled with ideas, concepts, and knowledge from experiences in the world. He concluded that the quality of early experiences, particularly how children are raised and educated, shapes the direction of a child's life. Later, Jean Jacques Rousseau claimed that children at birtli are innately good rather than evil, and that their natural tendencies should be protected against the corrupting influences of society. Rousseau's attitude had an important influence on society, and inspired, for example, the novelists Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo.who decried（揭露）the exploitation of child labor and highlighted the need for educational and social reform.It can be inferred that children in the Middle Ages ______.

Laura House remembers the day with embarrassment. “Mom and I were on our way home after dinner when we stopped at an intersection,” she says. “When the light changed, the guy ahead of us was looking at a map of something and didn't move right away. I leaned on my horn and automatically yelled. I didn't even think about what I was doing. Mom's jaw just dropped. She said, ‘Well, I guess you've been living in the city too long.’ That's when I realized that my anger was out of control."According to Carol Tavris, author of Anger： The Misunderstood Emotion. the keys to dealing with anger are common sense and patience. She points out that almost no situation is improved by an angry outburst. Shouting, fuming, or leaning on the car horn won't make traffic begin to flow, make the screen unlock or make keys appear. Patience, on the other hand, is a highly practical virtue. People who take the time to cool down before responding to an anger-producing situation are far less likely to say or do something they will regret later.Anger-management therapist Doris Wilde agrees. "Like any feeling, anger lasts only about three seconds," she says. "What keeps it going is your own negative thinking."As long as you focus on the idiot who cut you off on the expressway, you'll stay angry. But if you let the incident go, your anger will go with it. "Once you come to understand that you're driving your own anger with your thoughts," adds Wilde, “you can stop it."Experts who have studied anger also encourage people to cultivate activities that effectively release their anger. For some people, it's reading newspapers or watching TV, while others need more active outlets （发泄渠道），such as taking a walk, hitting golf balls, or working out with a punching bag. People who succeed in calming their anger also enjoy the satisfaction of having dealt positively with their frustrations.For Laura House, her experience in the car with her mother was a wake-up call. “Once I saw what I was doing, it really wasn't that hard to develop different habits. I simply decided I was going to treat other people the way I would want to be treated. I'm a calmer, happier person now," she reports.The writer begins the passage by _______.
