    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.

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some form---football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

Mountaineering is a sport, not a game because ________.

    A. it has man-made rules

    B. it is too dangerous for climbers

    C. it can’t bring people joy and leisure    

    D. it is free for climbers to use their own methods

A mountain climber must be strong both mentally and physically because _______.

    A. there are no regular man-made rules for him to follow

    B. there is no teamwork and he has to depend on himself

    C. his component is not one or several people but nature

    D. mountaineering requires the skills practiced year after year

We know from the passage that _______.

    A. mountaineering has no appeal to people

    B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers

    C. it is possible for an old man in his fifties to climb the Alps

    D. a mountain climber would pass his best by the age of thirty

The teaching hospital is one associated with a medical school. Teaching hospitals are large, with a range of from 300 to 200 beds. These hospitals always have interns(实习医师) and residents(住院医师) and additionally have medical students on the hospital wards. They have superb technical resources, and it is here that the most extraordinary events of medicine take place. Open-heart surgery, transplantation of kidneys, elaborate(精致的) nurseries for the newborn, support for management of rare blood diseases, and other wonderful achievements are all available here. Dozens of people may be concerned with the well-being of a particular patient. Important medical decisions are thoroughly discussed, presented at conferences, and reviewed by many personnel.

On the other hand, the quality of personal relationships at teaching hospitals is variable. Many patients feel that they are treated in an impersonal way, and that their laboratory tests receive more attention that their human and social problems. Since these institutions are on the frontier of medicine, there is a tendency to emphasize the new and elaborate procedures, when older and more modest ones might have served as well. With the inexperience of some members of the care team, there is a tendency to order more laboratory tests than what would have been ordered for the same condition in a private hospital. The sick patients are sometimes confused by having to relate to a large number of doctors and students. Medical educators are concerned with such criticisms and have to correct some of the problems. However, some excesses(超额) of technological medicine still occur in these institutions.

One of the advantages of a teaching hospital is that         .

  A. its first-class personnel are a guarantee of excellent medical care

  B. its first-class medical facilities and skills make medical breakthroughs possible

  C. the interns, residents and medical students all offer satisfactory services

 D. its laboratory staff provide high-class professional aids for the doctors

The passage implies that         .

A. private hospitals usually give personalized care of high quality

B. private hospitals have more experienced laboratory staff

C. teaching hospitals use patients as subjects for their experiments

D. teaching hospitals usually give patients improper treatment

Treatments of some difficult and complicated cases in teaching hospital are decided         .

  A. by specialists in charge of the case

  B. by doctors and students together

  C. on some special and important occasions

 D. through collective efforts and serious review

The problem that still bothers teaching hospitals frequently is         .

  A. the inadequate patient care caused by irresponsible nurses.

  B. the wrong decisions made by inexperienced doctors

  C. improper dependence on technological medicine

  D. the inconvenience caused by the presence of medical students

---I was trying to carry out the plan, but I failed.

---Well, you _________, for we were uncertain it would do ________.

A. needn’t do that, in fact                B. needn’t have done, in effect
