Question

A person may have a false idea about himself that will stop him from doing good work.
He may have the belief that he is unable to do it. A child may think he is 1 because he doesn’t understand how to make 2 use of his mental gifts. Old people may have a false idea that they are unable to learn new things because of their 3.
A person who believes that he is stupid will not make a real 4 because he feels that it would be useless. He won’t go at a job with confidence necessary for 5. Besides, he won’t work his hardest way, even though he may think he is doing so. 6, he is likely to fail, and the failure will 7 his belief in his incompetence（无能）in turn.
Alfred Alder, a famous doctor, had 8 like this. When he was a small boy, he had a poor9 in math. His teacher told his parents he had no ability in math in order that they would not 10 too much of him. In this way, his teacher and parents 11 the idea. He 12 their false judgment of his ability, feeling that it was useless to 13. Then, he was very poor at math, 14 as they expected.
But one day everything changed. He worked out a problem which 15 of the other students had been able to solve. He 16 in solving the problem which gave him confidence. Soon he became especially good at 17.
Alder now 18 with interest, determination and purpose. He not only proved that he could learn math well, but luckily he learned it 19, not too late. From his own experience, we can tell that if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may 20 himself as well as others by his ability.
