  When we're little, our mother is the center of our attention, and we are the center of hers.So our mother's characteristics leave an indelible(持久的)impression, and we are forever attracted to people with her facial features, body type, personality, even sense of humor.If our mother is warm and giving, as adults we tend to be attracted to people who are warm and giving.If our mother is strong and even-tempered, we are going to be attracted to a fair-minded strength in our mates.

  The mother has an additional influence on her sons:she not only gives them clues to what they will find attractive in a mate, but also affects how they feel about women in general.So if she is warm and nice, her sons are going to think that's the way women are.They will probably grow up to be warm and responsive lovers and also be cooperative around the house.

  Conversely(相反), a mother who has a depressive personality, and is sometimes friendly but then suddenly turns cold and rejecting, may raise a man who becomes a“dance-away lover”.Because he's been so scared(害怕)about love from his mother, he's afraid of commitment(责任、义务)and may pull away from a girlfriend for this reason.

  While the mother determines in large part what qualities attract us in a mate, it's the father-the first male in our lives-who influences how we relate to the opposite sex.Fathers have an enormous effect on their children's personalities and chances of marital(婚姻的)happiness.

  Just as mothers influence their son's general feelings toward women, fathers influence their daughter's general feelings about men.If a father lavishes praise on his daughter and shows that she is a worthwhile person, she'll feel very good about herself in relation to men.But if the father is cold, critical(批评的)or absent, the daughter will tend to feel she's not very lovable or attractive.

  In addition, most of us grow up with people of similar social circumstances.We hang around with people in the same town; our friends have about the same educational backgrounds and career goals.We tend to be most comfortable with these people, and therefore we tend to link up with others whose families are often much like our own.

How Long Can People Live?

  She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.

  Whe n it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder.She lived to the ripe old age of 122.So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(寿命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond?

  Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers.“Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.

  Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees.“People can live much longer than we think,”he says.“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110.When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120.So why can’t we go higher?”

  The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing.“Anyone can make up a number,”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan.“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.”

  Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120.Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most.So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.”

  So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有弹性的),but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington.“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,”he says.“But a fly’s never going to live 150 years.”

  “Of course, if you became a new species(物种),one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story,”he adds.

  Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about it,”he says with a smile.
