痴心石

    ①许多年前,当我还是一个十三岁的少年时,看见街上有人因为要盖房子而挖树,很心疼那棵树的死亡,就站在路边呆呆地看。树太大了,不好整棵地运走,于是工地的人拿出了锯子,把树分解。就在那个时候,我鼓足勇气,很不好意思地问,可不可以把那个剩下的树根送给我。那个人笑着看了我一眼,说:“只要你拿得动,就拿去好了。”我说我拿不动,可是拖得动。

    ②父母看见当时发育不良的我拖回来那么一个大树根,不但没有嘲笑和责备,反而帮忙清洗、晒干,然后将它搬到我的睡房中去。

    ③以后的很多年,我捡过许多奇奇怪怪的东西回家,父母并不嫌烦,反而特别看重那批不值钱但是对我有意义的东西。我和父母,其实很少一同欣赏同样的事情。他们有他们的天地,我,埋首在中国书籍里。

    ④我的父母并不明白也不欣赏我的那些怪癖,可是他们包涵。我也并不想父母能够了解我对于“美”这种主观事物的看法,只要他们不干涉,我就心安。

    ⑤有一次,我答应了跟父母和小弟全家去海边。结果前一天晚上又去看书,看到天亮才睡下。全家人在次日早晨等着我起床一直等到十一点,母亲不得已叫醒我,又怕我不跟去会失望,又怕叫醒了我要丧失睡眠,总之,她很为难。半醒了,我只挥一下手,说:“不去。”醒来发现父亲留了条子,叮咛我一个人也得吃饭。

    ⑥中午起床,奔回不远处自己的小房子去打扫落花残叶,弄到下午五点多钟才再回父母家中去。妈妈迎了上来,责问我怎么不吃中饭,我问爸爸在哪里,妈妈说:“嗳,在阳台水池里替你洗东西呢。”我拉开纱门跑出去喊爸爸,他应了一声,也不回头,用一个刷子在刷什么,刷得好用力的。过了一会儿,爸爸又在厨房里找毛巾,说要擦干什么的,他要我去客厅等着。

    ⑦一会儿,爸爸出来了,妈妈出来了,两老手中各捧着一块石头。

    ⑧爸爸说:“你看,我给你捡的这一块,上面不但有纹路,石头顶上还有一抹淡红,你觉得怎么样?”妈妈说:“我挑挑拣拣,才得了一个石球,你看它有多圆!”我注视着这两块石头,眼前立即浮现年迈的父母弯着腰,佝着背,在海边的大风里辛苦翻石头的画面。

    ⑨看着比我还要瘦的父母,看着这两块没有任何颜色可以配上的、世间最朴素的石头,一时里,我想骂他们太痴心,可是开不了口,只怕一讲话声音马上哽住。父母的爱——一生一世的爱,都藏在这两块不说话的石头里给了我。

    People who smoke could lose around one third of their everyday memory, researchers say.

    A study by a team at the University of Northumbria has shown that smokers lose more of their memory when compared to non-smokers. And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as non-smokers.

    The study involved more than seventy 18-to 25-year-old volunteers and included a tour of the university's campus. Those who took part were asked to recall(回忆;回想)small details, such as music acts listed to play at the students' union and tasks completed at various points---known as a real-world memory test.

    Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 percent of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.

    Dr. Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria University's Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in anti-smoking campaigns. He said, “Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many as 45 million in America, it's important to understand the effects that smoking has on everyday cognitive function.”

    This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an effect on memory. We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits to the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can bring a series of benefits to cognitive function. The research will now investigate the effects of second-hand smoking on memory, while Dr. Heffernan will look into third-hand smoking, such as toxins (毒素) left on curtains and furniture.
