19、with families, she noticed a big difference in how the now-hearing children acquired language. Once they could hear, some childrens language skills grew rapidly, while others languished (停滯不前). Why this was so began to confuse her. What was causing some children to leap ahead in their language skill

20、s?The difference turned out to be the words children heard from their parents and caregivers, millions of them. Baby talk, explaining and describing, asking questions even when they werent going to get an answer adults “using their words” is the thing that some parents and caregivers do thousands of

21、 times a day and that builds a baby s brain.While attending a course on child language development, Suskind heard about the groundbreaking Hart and Risley study on the differences in how parents from different income levels interacted with their children. After painstakingly following around familie

24、e faster the childrens vocabularies grew and the higher the children s IQ test scores were at age 3 and later.”“The truth is, much of what you see in children born into poverty is analogous to children born deaf,” Suskind said. “Its a really important point. The most fundamental science shows that i

30、ered and named by a wordfamous psychologist Minaly Csikszentmihalyi.His celebrated book Flow：The Psychology of Happiness became an instant bestseller，making its way to the top selfhelp classics. The state of flow happens under very specific conditionswhen we encounter a challenge that is testing for

31、 our skills，and yet our skills and capacities are such that it is just about possible to meet this challenge.So both the challenge and the skills are at high levels，stretching us almost to the limit.If challenges exceed skills，one can become anxious.If skills exceed challenges，we usually become bore

32、d，Neither of these two cases result in flow. What is also interesting in flow is the almost total absence of emotions during the actual process.One seems to be almost beyond experiencing emotions，most likely because the awareness of self is not present.Minaly himself is also very much aware of the p

33、otential negative impact of the flow.One philosopher once describes his own experience of flow.When I get totally involved inthe conversation，I am not aware of myself，the world around or the passage of time.Sometimes.I may become addictive to that existence，unwilling to cope with other daily routine
