200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and find out their living environment. Then predict their chances for the future.
       After doing some research, the students found that 90% of the boys would spend some linein jail
(監(jiān)獄).
       Twenty-five years later, another group of students was given the job: Go to test what the first group
of students had predicted. They went back to the same place. These 200 boys lad then become men.
Some of them were still there, a few had died and some had moved away. The students found that only
four of them had ever been sent to jail.

record? When the students asked the reason, the men said, "Well, there was a teacher."

閱讀理解.
     Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from
mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing (做針線活) or reading.
     After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It
really looks terrible. "
     One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.
     Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a
rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!
     Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing （批評(píng)) her dirty window, but all the time I was
watching hers through my own dirty window.
     That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺點(diǎn) ) ?
     Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (評(píng)判) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him
through my own dirty window?"
