    　　When you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment．Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers(晴雨表)for how you perceive(理解)yourself．Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others．You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself．We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike．

    　　Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate(阐明;照亮)more clearly your own feelings of self-worth．Conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself．

    　　To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance．A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself．Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole．

    　　Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners．My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying．When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling．I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose．I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me．

    　　Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him．Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him．In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open．

    　　When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality．

    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．
