Breaking the News about Your Diagnosis
1 When I was diagnosed with breast cancer nearly a year ago, I found myself at a loss for words at first. Over time, however, I developed some pointers (点子), which I hope will help others.
2 During the first few weeks of emotional "aftershocks" (余悸) from the diagnosis, I found myself unable to utter the word "cancer". Still, I wanted to share the news with my relatives and friends who already knew that I&39;d had a biopsy (活检) and were anxiously awaiting my telephone call. I did the best I could, which is all anyone can do in this situation. When I called them, I said, "What we feared has happened." They immediately knew what I meant.
3 Nearly a year after my diagnosis, I find myself more comfortable telling people "I was diagnosed with cancer" instead of saying "I have cancer". On some deep level, I don&39;t want to "own" this illness. Choose language that suits you when you share your news. And keep in mind that there is no one "right" way of doing this.
4 Most people, after hearing your announcement, will be curious about the next step.They may wonder if you will be undergoing radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy (化疗).
They may wonder where and when you will have surgery. Answer their questions as best you can, but keep in mind that "I don&39;t know right now" or "I&39;m still in too much shock to think about that" are good answers.
5 Wait until the initial wave of strong emotions has passed before telling the children in your life. Don&39;t overwhelm (使不知所措) very young children with too much information.
Assure them that, even if you will be in the hospital for a while, they will see you every day and they will be cared for. Older children may already fear the word "cancer", so be prepared to reassure them. Emphasize the positive steps that doctors will be taking to treat your illness.

He doesn’t act his age or , but his birth certificate is telling it straight.
If you were to examine the birth certificate of each soccer player in 200611’s World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a strange thing: excellent soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months. Similarly, if you examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be even more noticeable. What might explain this strange phenomenon? Here are a few guesses: a) certain astrological (占星术的) signs bring superior soccer skills; b) winter-born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer staying power; c) soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime, at the annual peak of soccer craze; d) none of the above. Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University, says he believes strongly in “none of the above.” Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and studied nuclear engineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he switched to psychology. About 30 years ago, he conducted his first experiment on memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random series of numbers. “With the first subject, after about 20 hours of training, his digit span had risen from 7 to 20,” Ericsson recalls. “He kept improving, and after about 200 hours of training he had risen to over 80 numbers.” This experiment and his later research indicated that memory itself is not determined by genes. Although people may exhibit inborn differences in their abilities to memorize, those differences are less important than how well each person “encodes” the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as intentional practice. Intentional practice doesn’t mean simply repeating a task. It involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on result. Ericsson and his colleagues have studied different expert performers from various professions, including soccer. They found that expert performers are nearly always made, not born. 15.
