Many years ago， I was a college graduate with a degree but no job. My substitute teaching work ended and I got desperate. I had a family to feed. 1.While I was grateful， my first day there was quite a blow to my ego(自尊). The job at the local wood mill paid less but was hard and back-breaking. It was full of bending， lifting， and carrying heavy wood for eight hours a day. 2.
When winter arrived my gloves tore and my fingers split and bled in the cold air. I found myself using more band aids than I ever thought I would just to keep my hands working.3. At the end of two years only four other people had worked there longer than I had. Every morning I pulled myself out of bed and went to work knowing it was going to be another difficult day.
I tried my best to keep my spirits up but many times during those years I asked， "Why me? Why am I having to go through this? Why has my life not turned out the way I dreamed it would?" 4. I think maybe in a way I needed those tough times. I needed them to shrink my ego. I needed them to become more caring， sympathetic， and loving.
5. It is these times that make us mature. If you are going through some "Why Me?" times， don’t give up. Use them to become stronger， kinder and more loving.
A.Fortunately， my brother got me a job.
B.Now many years later I got the answer.
C.Every day I went home aching and tired.
D.The resigning rate at the mill became very high.
E.Maybe no one knew when the tough times would end.
F.Day after day， I wondered when I could realize my dream.
G.I think it is the "Why Me?" times of our lives that make us grow the most.
Piaget’s theory of cognitive(认知的) development is a theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. It was first created by the Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980). The theory deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans gradually come to acquire, construct, and use it . Piaget’s theory is mainly known as a developmental stage theory.
To Piaget, cognitive development was a progressive reorganization of mental processes resulting from biological maturation and environmental experience. He believed that children construct an understanding of the world around them, experience differences between what they already know and what they discover in their environment, and then adjust their ideas accordingly. Besides, Piaget claimed that cognitive development is at the center of the human organism, and language is depending on knowledge and understanding acquired through cognitive development.
Piaget’s earlier work received the greatest attention. Child-centered classrooms and "open education" are direct applications of Piaget’s views. Despite its huge success, Piaget’s theory is not perfect and Piaget has recognized it himself: for example, the theory supports sharp stages rather than continuous development.
Piaget noted that reality is a dynamic system of continuous change. Reality is defined (给……下定义) in reference to the two conditions that define dynamic systems. Specifically, he argued that reality involves transformations and states. Transformations refer to all manner of changes that a thing or person can experience. States refer to the conditions or the appearances in which things or persons can be found between transformations. For example, there might be changes in shape or form , in size, or in placement or location in space and time. Thus, Piaget argued, if human intelligence is to be adaptive, it must have functions to represent both the transformational and the static aspects of reality.
