he posed the question: “Does a cup of hot tea reach a drinkable temperature more quickly if you put the milk in first, or add the milk after pouring?” while the rest of the class struggled over how to even begin approaching the problem, hawking almost instantly announced the correct answer: “Add the milk after pouring, of course.” (The hotter the tea initially, the faster it will cool.)

一项被忽视的艺术

卡罗琳?凯恩

人们普遍认为美国的教育制度已深陷困境。人人都意识到了这些可怕的事实：学校系统经费短缺，老师不会拼写，学生不会阅读，高中毕业生在地图上连中国也找不到。

我们大多数人都知道，或自以为知道，这应该怪谁：怪执法不严的法庭，怪软弱无能的校董会，怪荒唐可笑的政府法令。要找个顶罪的坏蛋很容易。

但也许问题不是在于我们的机制而是在于我们的态度。可悲的是，

虽然我们大多数人都声称自己相信教育的价值， 但我们却不重视智力活动。

我们美国人是一个宽厚、仁慈的民族。我们有致力于每一项美好事业的机制 ── 从拯救无家可归的猫到防止第三次世界大战爆发。但是为促进思考的艺术我们做了些什么呢？当然在日常生活中我们没有为思考留出时间。 假定一位男子对朋友们说，“今晚我不去参加家长教师联谊会（或不去看棒球赛或诸如此类的事）了，因为我需要留一些时间给我自己，留一些时间进行思考”？对这位男子邻居们就会避而远之；家人就会为他感到羞耻。如果一个十几岁的青少年说，“今天晚上我不去跳舞了，我需要一些时间进行思考”，那又会怎么样呢？他的父母会立即开始在黄页簿中查寻精神病医生的电话。

几年前一位学院行政管理人员告诉我，如果他想进行任何认真的思考，他只得早上5点30分起床 ── 我猜想因为那是唯一没人会打扰他的时刻。前些时候，我听到一位教授说，当他的朋友们撞见他正在读书时，他们会说，“啊， 有这么多空闲时间一定很开心。” 尽管我是一名英语教师 ── 是一个应该更明事理的人 ── 但我却发现自己每次悄悄溜进图书馆看书时，都会隐隐约约感到有点心虚。 人们普遍认为：如果一个人在思考或阅读，他就是在无所事事。在生活中的每一天，我们都在通过言行表达这种看法。还有，我们疑惑不解为什么孩子们不肯认真对待他们的学习，为什么他们对老师说，“我为什么要学这玩意儿？这些东西以后对我什么用也没有；我永远都用不着。”

要理解为什么对思考会有这种偏见并不难。问题之一就是，在我们大多数人看来，思考似乎有无所事事之嫌。一个陷于沉思的人看上去的样子就叫人没劲。他靠着椅背，支起双脚，一口一口地抽着烟斗，两眼茫然地凝视着前方。他的样子完全是在浪费时间。而且，他把所有的累活都留给了我们！……
