Richard Rice, a fast-talking man paced up and down in front of freshmen debate class, 1 us about his high expectations．We were special, he declared on our first day at Oak Park High School．But there would be no 2 to success．Only those who worked hard would shine．
Suddenly Mr. Rice 3 in mid-sentence and stared at me．"You know," he said, "you're black!" Somehow, I knew he 4 trying to hurt me．
Mr. Rice was no 5 teacher．I entered high school not 6 quite sure what debate was．I left his class four years later as an outstanding debater．Even today, I'm not sure what 7 such a great teacher of him．He always said 8 he was thinking．And he was 9 ．He'd 10 out of the classroom angrily if he thought a student was giving 11 his effort．The worst thing with us was to be taken no notice of． 12 , being torn apart by Mr. Rice in the middle of a practice debate meant you were one of his favorites．
He wasn't always 13 on us．I'll never forget the National Student Debate, at which my calm delivery and my firm grasp of the problems disappeared．The only face I could 14 in the audience was Mr. Rice's face．I could 15 I was doing terribly just by looking at him．After it was over, he came 16 to me．"Not my best 17 , " I said．He shook his head, "No," Then , to my 18 , he gave me a hug．
Mr. Rice's style didn't make him a great teacher for everyone．Many kids 19 out of the debate class after the first year．But for me four years with him was my unforgettable 20 of a lifetime．

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.
