During the past fifteen years a great deal of attention has been given to "letting it all hang out." My impression is that this over-zealous devotion to speaking one's mind has more often led to hurt feelings and mined relationships than to great joy and fulfillment.
I think we generally agree that holding in real feelings and never expressing less-than-lovely thoughts about each other hardly lead to constructive communication. It's a great relief to allow ourselves the luxury of admitting our human weaknesses and pursuing more honest relationships with others. But we need to strike a balance between telling it all and telling nothing.
Recently I received a letter from a mother who had been persuaded by her troubled twenty-five-year-old son to attend a weekend "troth" marathon with him. Under pressure from the group, her defenses collapsed and she heard herself telling her son for the first time that he had been an accident—that she hadn't been planning to have a child. He in turn told her that he couldn't recall a single day in his childhood that he'd been happy.
"At that time," this woman wrote, "it seemed helpful. We cried and we made up; I thought telling the truth had been good for us. But the trouble is, it wasn't the whole truth. By the time Tommy was born, I did want him, and at times he was happy. Ever since that day, we've both been disturbed by some terrible feelings we shared."
I must admit we've come to the conclusion that some things are better left unsaid. Honesty is a fine policy as long as we know what the truth really is—but most of the time we don't. It's a fine goal to encourage children to express their real feelings. But we need a new sense of balance. Telling it all is not a cure-all for every problem nor even an end in itself. It's useful and freeing under some circumstances and terribly hurtful and damaging under others.
It's a good idea, I think, to bite your tongue for ten or fifteen minutes before saying what's on your mind. Try to decide whether it's going to open up new and better avenues of communication or leave wounds that may never heal.
The expression "letting it all hang out" means "______."
A.balancing all thoughts
B.expressing all real feelings
C.considering all relationships

M: Well, (19) I've been thinking of going into business, but I haven't decided yet. And my dad keeps telling me that computing is a good choice, but I'm undeclared at the moment.
W: Ah, that's what happened to me my freshman year. But I would suggest you stick to your dreams, because you will have fun in it, just like me. By the way, I major in architecture.
M: Oh, so what year are you in school?
W: I'm a senior, and I only have to take 10 more credits to graduate. Yeah!
M: Well. That must feel great to be almost finished with school.

, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly, said __1__ things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend.

No __5__ cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, "Unless you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t helPyou."After some hesitation, the man __6__ that, as executor of his faher’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his __7__.

He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. "Thank you," He said, "I think I’m __9__." And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only __10__ a damaged relationshiPbut also make it stronger.

What is intelligence(智力) anyway? When I was in the army 1 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against 2 of 100, scored 160.
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 3 have scored more than 80. 4 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him——and he always 5 it.
Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man designed questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I"d prove myself a 6 . In a world where I have to work with my hands, I"d do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man7 . He had a habit of telling jokes. One time he said,"Doc, a deaf-and-dumb(聋哑) man 8 some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made 9 movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He 10 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk brought him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the 11 man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors(剪刀). 12 do you suppose he asked for them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said," Why, you fool, he used his voice and asked for them. I"ve been 13 that on all my customers today, but I knew 14 I"d catch you. " "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you are so goddamned edycatedm Doc. I knew you couldn"t be very 15 "
