5 . Have you ever been in a bathroom, dressing room or another private area with a mirror and had that feeling that someone is watching you? You can check to see if a mirror is transparent by observing how it is installed and using a few simple techniques to determine if there’s a wall behind it.
Check out the lighting. For a two-way mirror to be effective, the light on the mirrored side needs to be 10 times brighter than the light on the other side. If the lighting is dimmer, it’s possible to see through the glass to the observation area. Look around and determine whether the lighting seems extraordinarily bright.
Sound it out. The sound of tapping a two-way mirror has also been described as bright or sharp as opposed to a thud (砰的一声) from an everyday mirror. Tap on the surface of the mirror with your knuckle (指节).
A.Turn off the lights. |
B.Try to look through the glass. |
C.Observe how the mirror is installed. |

F.A normal mirror will produce a dull, flat sound, since it’s placed in front of a wall. |
G.People standing on the other side of the wall can observe someone looking in the mirror. |

8 . The early bird catches the worm, right?
There was a time in my life when it seemed I couldn’t advance at work. I had this coworker who was always one step ahead of me.
Then one morning I headed into work half an hour early so I could also leave early to catch my flight for a weekend vacation. When I got there, my coworker and boss were chatting over coffee. I joined in and realized they had been having these morning chats for months!
Often, we rank things based on how we understand the importance of our punctuality for that event. How early would you show up to something like a doctor’s appointment? Do you get there right on time, or 15 or more minutes earlier?
Think about your job. If it’s more casual and relaxed, do you always show up on time?
Now think about personal events. If you went to a friend’s birthday party or their dinner, would you show up on time? Consider how you show up for even more casual hangouts, like, checking in with your parents.
When we show up early, we give ourselves the chance to reduce stress about missing out or making anybody else upset.
A.Look at a job where it’s very strict. |
B.It’s safe to say I never showed up late again. |
C.He wasn’t that much better than me at our job. |
D.Have you ever shown up late to a flight on purpose? |
E.Missing out something small in our life doesn’t matter. |
F.Now, honestly, ask yourself, could you start these things earlier? |
G.And we also account for any emergencies that might cause further panic. |
