A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work..

He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. It is easy to get such an idea even though there is no justification for it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to take the most of his mental faculties, or he may accept another person s mistaken estimate of his ability. Older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.

A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won’t go at a job with the confidence necessary for success, and he won’t work hardest, even though he may think he is doing so. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.

Alfred Adler, a famous psychiatrist（精神病医生）, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, "Isn’t it too bad that Alfred can’t do arithmetic?" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.

One day he became very angry at the teacher and other students because they laughed when he said he saw how to do a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve.

Adler succeeded in solving a problem. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His anger and his new found confidence stimulated him to be at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic. He not only proved that he could do arithmetic, but he learned early in life from his own experience that , if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may astonish himself as well as others by his ability.

This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have. And that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one’s ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.

The underlined word “justification” most probably means ________.

       A. reason                             B. rightness                  C. need                 D. demand

What is the main idea of this passage?

       A. The basic principles in doing math problems.

       B. Our idea about ourselves may have a negative influence on our work.

       C. Our ideas do not always have and influence on us.

       D. All actions are caused by impulse.

What does Alfred Adler’s story tell us?

       A. Many people have more ability than they think they have.

       B. Anybody can become a mathematician, if he has determination.

       C. Arithmetic is actually very easy.

       D. Most teachers are wrong when they evaluator their students.

Why did he become angry one day?

       A. Because the teacher and other students laughed at him.

       B. Because they challenged him to do a difficult arithmetic problem.

       C. Because he couldn’t solve the arithmetic problem.

       D. Because he was very poor at arithmetic.

What idea did Alfred’s teacher have?

       A. He was slow in arithmetic.      

B. He should work harder.

       C. He should be transferred to a special school.

       D. He should not tell his parents that he was slow.

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket--- anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th  birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.

The following year he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.

In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition(探险) towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite（冻疮）, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled（雪橇） up and over rocky ice. www.zxxk.com

Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.

     For eighty four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish. At first a young boy, Manolin, had
shared his bad fortune, but after the fortieth luckless day the boy's father told his son to go in another
boat. From that time on, Santiago worked alone. The boy loved the old fisherman and  always helped
him with money and food. Usually, they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or
about American baseball after supper, while at night, alone in his cottage, Santiago dreamed of lions on
the beaches of Africa, where he had gone years before. He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.
On the eighty-fifth day, Santiago set off to fish before dawn. Two of his baits (饵) were fresh tunas (金
枪鱼) the boy had given him, as well as sardines (沙丁鱼) to cover his hooks. Then he set his lines
which went straight down into deep dark water.
      As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore. A bird showed him where dolphin were chasing
some flying fish. This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight. A small one took the hook on his
line. Pulling the fish aboard, the old man thought it a good fortune.
     Toward noon a marlin, a common fish in the sea, started eating the bait which was one hundred
meters down. Gently the old man played the fish, a big one, as he knew from the weight on the line. At
last he struck to settle the hook. The fish did not come out of the surface. Instead, it began to pull the
boat to the northwest. The old man followed it. Although he was alone and no longer strong, he had his
skill and knew many tricks. He waited patiently for the fish to be tired .
     It was cold after the sunset. When something took one of his remaining baits, he cut the line with his
knife. Once the marlin leaned suddenly, pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek. By
dawn his left hand was cramped (抽筋的). The fish had headed northward; there was no land in sight.
Hungry, he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly.
     That morning the fish jumped. Seeing it, Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had
ever seen. Then the fish went down and turned toward the east. Santiago drank a little water from the
bottle during the hot afternoon.
     Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had rebaited. He lifted it aboard, careful. After he
had rested, he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its stomach. That
night he slept. He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped. Feeding line
slowly, he tried to tire the marlin. After the fish slowed its run, he washed his cut hands in sea water and
ate one of the flying fish. At sunrise the marlin began to circle. Faint, he worked to bring the big fish
nearer with each turn. Almost exhausted, he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon
(鱼叉). The fish was two feet longer than the boat. No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor.
      An hour later, he sighted the first shark, a fierce Mako, and it came in fast to chase after the dead
marlin. The old man struck the shark with his harpoon. The Mako rolled and sank, carrying the harpoon
with it and leaving the marlin bloody. He knew the smell would spread. Watching, he saw two sharks
closing in. He struck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water. The other he
killed while it tore at the flesh of the marlin. When the third appeared, he thrust (刺) it with the knife.
The other sharks came at sunset. At first he tried to beat them with the tiller (舵柄) from the boat, but
his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea. In the darkness, as he steered toward the
harbor of Havana, he heard them hitting the boat again and again. But the old man thought only of his
steering and his great tiredness. He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him. He knew they
would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin.
     All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat. He could just make out
the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish. Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently
until he could gather his strength to go on. In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep.
