There are two basic ways see growth：one as a product，the other as a process．People have generally viewed personal growth as a（n）Fresult or product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a promotion the students whose grades improve，the foreigner who learns a new language-all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．
ByA-the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine，since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself，but rather the attitude and feelings people have，their caution or courage，as weInew experiences and unexpected obstacles．In this process，the journey never really ends．There are always new ways to experience the world，new ideas to try，new challenges to accept．
In order to grow，to travel new roads，people need to have aEto take risks．And we are supposed to be ready to face theB，and to accept the possibility that we may"fail"at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow．Do we perceive ourselves as quick an curious？If so，then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we'reJand shy？Then ourGof shyness can cause us to hesitate，to move slowly，and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe．Do we think we're slow to adapt to change to change or that we're not smart
enough to cope with a new challenge？If so，then we are likely to take a moreK role or not try at all．
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．We willHto grow，if we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts，and if we protect ourselves too much．We becomeCinside a shell of our own making．

1．F 考查形容词．根据product that can easily be identified and measured可知，有人把个人成长看成是外在的结果．
2．A考查名词．此处是一个固定短语，by contrast通过对比．
3．I 考查动词，句意为，当我们遇到新的经历和意料之外的障碍时表现出来的态度、勇气等．encounter是动词，遇到．
4．E 考查名词．此处是 一个固定短语，have a willingness to do有做某事的意愿．
5．B 考查形容词．此处是 一个固定结构，the+adj．表示一类别事物，the unknown 指未知的事情．
6．J 考查形容词．根据后面的shy可知，indecisive与其并列，意思是优柔寡断的．
7．G 考查名词．sense of shyness可以是一个固定搭配，意思是害羞感．
8．K 考查形容词．根据we're slow to adapt to change to change or that we're not smart enough to cope with a new challenge推出，如果这样的话，我们是 以一种被动的方式．
9．H 考查动词．结合上面的内容可知，如果我们是被动的或者根本不尝试，那么将停止成长．
10．C 考查形容词．最后一句if we protect ourselves too much如果我们过于保护自己的话，我们将被困在思想的贝壳里．
