Confidence 自信 Some people are born with the belief that they are masters of their own lives.Others feel they are at the mercy of fate. New research shows that part of those feelings are in the genes. Psychologists have long known that people confident in their ability to control their destinies are more likely to adjust well to growing old than those who feel that they drift on the currents of fate. Two researchers who questioned hundreds of Swedish twins report that such confidence,or lark of it,is partly genetic and partly drawn from experience. They also found that the belief in blind luck-a conviction that coincidence plays a big role in life is something learned in life and has nothing to do with heredity. The research was conducted at the Karolinska Institute-better known as the body that annually awards the Nobel Prize for medicine by Nancy Pedersen of the Institute and Margaret Gatz,a professor of

The research was conducted at the Karolinska Institute-better known as the body that annually awards the Nobel Prize for medicine by Nancy Pedersen of the Institute and Margaret Gatz, a professor of

psychology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Their results were recently published in the United States in the Journal of Gerontology. People who are confident of their ability to control their lives have an "internal locus of control,"and have a better chance of being well adjusted in their old age,said Pedersen. An "external locus of control,"believing that outside forces determine the course of life,has been linked to depression in latter years,she said. "We are trying to understand what makes people different.What makes some people age gracefully and others have a more difficult time?"she said. The study showed that while people have an inborn predilection toward independence and self-confidence,about 70 percent of this personality trait is affected by a person's environment and lifetime experiences. Pedersen's studies,with various collaborators,probe the aging process by comparing sets of twins,both identical and fraternal, many of whom were separated at an early age

Today, 39 independent, self-governing colleges are related to the University in a type of federal system. Each is governed by a Head of House and a number of Fellows, who are academics specializing in a wide variety of disciplines, most of whom also hold University posts. Across both the Arts and the Sciences, Oxford research consistently ranks top both nationally and internationally. As well as being in the forefront of scientific, medical and technological achievement, the University has strong links with research institutions and industrial concerns both in the United Kingdom and overseas. The University is income from externally funded research grants and contracts in 1996-7 totaled over ￡107 million. The University’s great age also allows its teaching staff and research students to draw on a heritage of magnificent library and museum collections. Students working for higher degrees are an important and valued part of Oxford University. They currently make up over a quarter of the total student body of 15,641, drawn by the excellent facilities for research, which the University can offer; therefore the proportion of graduate students is increasing. In all these fields, Oxford attracts scholars from many parts of the

world to join its teaching and research staff,and also values important role of overseas graduate students (approximately one third of the total graduate body)in providing intellectual stimulation and creating and maintaining academic links with colleges abroad. To gain entry into the University,students must first win a place by competitive examination at one of the colleges,which have their own admissions policies. The procedure for applications varies according to the subject you propose to study.There are no final deadlines for most applications, unless specified in a particular subject section,but there are many more applications than places available,and the process of acceptance by both faculty board and college can take some time; early application is therefore strongly advised. 牛津大学曾经一度盛传是由阿尔弗来德一世在9世纪建立的。但事实上，我们 今天所知道的牛津大学初建于12世纪，当时一群英国学者从巴黎大学流放过 来，云集于牛津的教堂和修道院中，在那时候教学中心就已经建立起来了。 现在，39个独立、自理的学院以一种联邦体制和校方联系。每个学院由一位 院长和几名研究员管理。他们既是多学科的专家教员，其中多数人还身兼校方 9
