GRAV comes from the Latinword meaning “heavy, weighty, serious.” Gravity is, of course, what makesthings heavy, and without it there wouldn’t be any life on earth, since nothingwould stay on earth at all. This doesn’t stop us from yelling in outrage whenthe familiar laws of gravity cause something to drop to the floor and break.
grave (1) Requiring serious thought or concern. (2) Serious and formal inappearance or manner.
* We realized thatthe situation was grave and that the slightest incident could spark all-outwar.
Gravity has afamiliar physical meaning but also a nonphysical meaning—basically “seriousness.”Thus, something grave possesses gravity. You can refer to the gravity of aperson’s manner, though public figures today seem to have a lot less gravitythan they used to have. Or you can talk about a grave situation, as in theexample sentence. But even though Shakespeare makes a pun on grave when a dyingcharacter talks about being buried the next day (“Ask for me tomorrow and youshall find me a grave man”), the word meaning “hole for burying a body” isn’tactually related.
gravitas Great or very dignified seriousness.
* The head of thecommittee never failed to carry herself with the gravitas she felt wasappropriate to her office.
This word comesto us straight from Latin. Among the Romans, gravitas was thought to beessential to the character and functions of any adult (male) in authority. Eventhe head of a household or a low-level official would strive for this importantquality. We use gravitas today to identify the same solemn dignity in men andwomen, but it seems to come easier in those who are over 60, slow-moving—and abit overweight.
gravitate To move or be drawn toward something, especially by naturaltendency or as if invisible force.
* On hot evenings,the town’s social life gravitated toward the lakefront, where you could strollthe long piers eating ice cream or dance at the old Casino.
To gravitate isto respond, almost unconsciously, to a force that works like gravity to drawthings steadily to it as if by their own weight. Thus, young people gravitatetoward a role model, moths gravitate to a flame, a conversation might gravitatetoward politics, and everyone at a party often gravitates to the bar.
aggravate(1) To make (an injury, problem, etc.) more seriousor severe. (2) To annoy or bother.
* She went back to the soccer team before the knee wascompletely healed, which naturally aggravated the injury.
Since the grav-root means basically “weighty or serious,” the original meaning of aggravatewas “to make more serious.” A bad relationship with your parents can beaggravated by marrying someone who nobody likes, for example, or a touchy traderelationship between two countries can be aggravated by their inability toagree on climate-change issues. Depression can be aggravated by insomnia—and insomniacan be aggravated by depression. But when most people use aggravate today, theyemploy its “annoy” sense, as in “What really aggravates my dad is having to listento that TV all day long.”

我是不喜欢做饭的,太费时间
尤其是侍弄各种肉类,腥膻难闻,更是讨厌
所以我小时不进厨房,随便亲戚邻居的批评声不绝于耳,总之就是不肯拿菜刀锅铲
现在还不是一样挽起袖子上灶台,呵呵~ 没办法,自己的孩子总不能让她饿着吧
不当家不知柴米贵,不养儿不知父母恩啊

明天开始小朋友回家吃午饭
以前老师不批准,现在终于答应了,条件是她得参加中考
可能关系着升学率和排名吧,这些硬指标——当老师也不容易
女儿吃饭算不上挑剔,遇到不喜欢吃的饭菜也不抱怨,但就是摇来摇去不往嘴里送
所以要留意做她喜欢的菜,还得每餐换花样,重复吃,会腻,喜欢也会变不喜欢
早上先盘算一天的菜式,荤素搭配好
再牛奶面包水果干果各处买来,多出好些事
做家长,也不易
晚餐试验了两天先,看她吃下堆高高的一碗饭,心满意足的样子,我也心满意足
问她,将来你出去读书,要不要带上我呀?回答说要!很肯定,呵呵~
玩笑话啦,当家长的,最重要,是学会放手
所以这几个月的时光,要好好珍惜
因为将来她会成为独立的个体,飞去寻自己的天空
想要再重复这忙乱快乐又幸福的日子,未必能够呢
感谢我的宝贝,让我体验到完整的人生

考研是检验我做教育、训练学生的一种方式,对他们人生的影响,还有待时间观察。对于这场持续了四年多的实验,自己的收获是,在刚性教育体制和学生自由培养之间找到了平衡、把一套属于全球视野的本科教育带到课堂。
体制坚硬,时局艰难,在有人只想推倒它时,我倒愿意在夹缝中找一线机会。

PROB comes from the Latinwords for “prove or proof” and “honesty or integrity.” A probe, whether it’s alittle object for testing electrical circuits or a spacecraft headed for Mars,is basically something that’s looking for evidence or proof. And probableoriginally described something that wasn’t certain but might be “provable.”
approbation A formal or official act of approving; praise, usually withpleasure or enthusiasm.
* The senate signaledits approbation of the new plan by voting for it unanimously.
Approbation isa noun form of approve, but approbation is usually stronger than mere approval.An official commendation for bravery is an example of approbation; gettingreelected to office by a wide margin indicates public approbation; and thesocial approbation received by a star quarterback in high school usually makesall the pain worthwhile.
probate The process of proving in court that the will of someone who has diedis valid, and of administering the estate of a dead person.
* When her fatherdied, she thought she would be able to avoid probate, but she wasn’t thatlucky.
Ever sincepeople have written wills, those wills have had to be proven genuine by ajudge. Without a probate process, greedy acquaintances or relatives could writeup a fake will stating that all the person’s wealth belonged to them. Toestablish a will as genuine, it must generally be witnessed and stamped bysomeone officially licensed to do so (though wills have sometimes been approvedeven when they were just written on a piece of scrap paper, with no witnesses).Today we use probate more broadly to mean everything that’s handling of estates(the money and property left when someone dies), making sure that everyoneeventually receives what is properly theirs.
probity Absolute honesty and uprightness.
* Her unquestionedprobity helped win her the respect of her fellow judges.
Probity is aquality the public generally hopes for in its elected officials but doesn’talways get. Bankers, for example, have traditionally been careful to project anair of probity, even though banking scandals and bailouts have made this harderthan ever. An aura of probity surrounds such public figures as Warren Buffettand Bill Moyers, men to whom many Americans would entrust their children andtheir finances.
reprobate A person of thoroughly bad character.
* His wife finallyleft him, claiming he was a reprobate who would disappear for weeks at a time,gambling and drinking away all his money.
The related verb of reprobate is reprove,which originally as the opposite of approve, meant “to condemn.” Thus, areprobate, as the word was used in Biblical translations, was someone condemnedto hell. But for many years reprobate has been said in a tone of joshingaffection, usually to describe someone of doubtful morals but good humor.Shakespeare’s great character Falstaff—a lazy, lying boastful, spongingdrunkard—is the model of a reprobate, but still everyone’s favorite Shakespeare character.

CRIM comes from the Latinwords for “fault or crime” or “accusation.” It’s obvious where the root showsup most commonly in English. A crime is an act forbidden by the government,which the government itself will punish you for, and for which you may bebranded a criminal. A crime is usually more serious than a tort, a “civil wrong”for which the wronged person must himself sue if he wants to get repaid in someway.
criminology The study of crime, criminals, law enforcement, and punishment.
* His growinginterest in criminology led him to become a probation officer.
Criminologyincludes the study of all aspects of crime and law enforcement—criminal psychology,the social setting of crime, prohibition and prevention, investigation anddetection, capture and punishment. Thus, many of the people involved—legislators,social workers, probation officers, judges, etc.—could possibly be consideredcriminologists, though the word usually refers only to scholars andresearchers.
decriminalize To remove or reduce the criminal status of.
*An angry debate overdecriminalizing doctor-assisted suicide raged all day in the statehouse.
Decriminalizationof various “victimless crimes”—crimes that don’t directly harm others, such asprivate gambling and drug-taking-has been recommended by conservatives as wellas liberals, who often claim that it would ease the burden on the legal system,decrease the amount of money flowing to criminals, and increase personalliberty. Decriminalization is not the same as legalization; decriminalization maystill call for a small fine (like a traffic ticket), and may apply only to useor possession of something, leaving the actual sale of goods or servicesillegal.
incriminate To show evidence of involvement in a crime or a fault.
*The muddy tracks leading to and from the cookie jar were enough to incriminate them.
Testimony mayincriminate a suspect by placing him at the scene of a crime, and incriminatingevidence is the kind that strongly links him to it. But the word doesn’t alwaysrefer to an actual crime. We can say, for instance, that a virus has beenincriminated as the cause of a type of cancer, or that video games have beenincriminated in the decline in study skills among young people.
recrimination (1) An accusation in answer to an accusation made against oneself.(2) The making of such an accusation.
* Their failure tofind help led to endless and pointless recriminations over responsibility forthe accident.
Defending oneself from a verbal attack bymeans of a counterattack is as nature as physical self-defense. So a disasteroften brings recriminations among those connected with it, and divorces andchild-custody battles usually involve recriminations between husband and wife.And actual crime isn’t generally involved, but it may be; when two suspectsstart exchanging angry recriminations after they’ve been picked up, it oftenleads to one of them turning against the other in court.
