Did you ever have to say "no" to somebody？Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with you？New research suggests that，at least socially，a rejection（拒絕）should not include an apology（道歉）.In other words，saying you are sorry does not make the person being rejected feel any better.In fact，it might make the rejected person feel worse.That is surprising.Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down（拒絕） a request.
   Gili Freedman is doing some related（相關(guān)的） research at Dartmouth College.For her research，she asked over 1，000 people to respond to（回答） different examples of social rejection.In one example，the researchers asked people for their reaction（反應(yīng)）after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch every Friday.And Taylor was told "no".But in some cases，the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology.In other cases，the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry.People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down，just as Taylor was.Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.
   Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was okay- even when they felt like it was not okay.Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of disappointment，hurt or anger more easily.Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better-even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.
   Her research deals only with social communication.A business situation might be very different. "If a manager rejects a job interviewee（面試者）or a boss must tell an employee（雇員）that he or she is being fired（解雇）from a job，" Freedman said， "reactions to apologies may be different."

2．I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science.When someone hears what I study，I'm usually meant with two reactions.First up is a small smile with the word "overachiever" on the tip of their tongue.The second is a look of confusion，followed by an exaggerated （夸張的） "why？".The short answer：I want to be a problem solver，and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person.In addition，I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture.
   It's the beginning of a new year，and a lot of first-years have plans for double or triple majors.However，as most of us quickly realize after that first fall semester，college is a lot!We are unavoidably forced to make choices - do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears？The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you're passionate about something，it's not going to feel like work.Political Science can be challenging，but to me，it's fun to read the Constitution （憲法） and see the impact each word has on our interpretation.
   This may sound hard to accept，but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you're in a race with your peers，you're only running yourself into the ground.Don't double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume （簡歷），because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years.What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have - whether it be in your study，career，or something else your career and study will enable you to do.
   Always think about your "why" when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major entails.Because at the end of the day，it's going to be you doing the homework - so try to enjoy what you're doing along the ride for what it's worth.
