阅读下面短文,然后从下列各题所给的A、 B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 36 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 37 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 38 for years—often from 39 childhood. These stories may have no 40 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 41 my development? I was never 42 to work on cars or be around 43 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, 44 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I 45 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 46 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 47 and told him about my 48 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 49 is it that you can solve 50 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 51 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 52 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 53 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 54 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 55 we choose.

第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)

Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very 21 lesson in life by the great example you 22 . When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who had 23 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any 24 , you went over and put the 25 $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you 26 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 27 like, “Some kid will really enjoy 28 this.”
Last week, a young man 29 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 30 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much 31 is he?” she told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car 32 had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 33 , which came to just over 34 . That is an easy mistake 35 both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and 36 you did that night at the cafe in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 37 and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “It’s 38 to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 39 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it 40 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always,
Mum
