Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human Being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954．

     What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through．What happens when someone, who doesn’t know how to swim, falls in deep waters? They drown．If an animal who has not learnt swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal doesn’t．

    Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed．Most people never question it．But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam if the operator typed too fast．

These three cases show the power of our beliefs．There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief．Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy．A belief delivers command to your nervous system．

I used a snake in my workshops for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are．Students of a school in India, said snakes are slippery and slimy and poisonous．After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry and clean．They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India．

Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change?

　　There is a long-held belief that when meeting someone, the more eye contact we have with the person, the better．The result is an unfortunate tendency for people making initial contact－in a job interview, for example－to stare fixedly at the other individual．However, this behavior is likely to make the interviewer feel very uncomfortable．Most of us are comfortable with eye contact lasting a few seconds．But eye contact which persists longer than that can make us nervous．

　　Another widely accepted belief is that powerful people in a society－often men－show their dominance over others by touching them in a variety of ways．In fact, research shows that in almost all cases, lower-status people initiate touch．Women also initiate(开始)touch more often than men do．

　　The belief that rapid speech and lying go together is also widespread and enduring．We react strongly－and suspiciously(怀疑地)－to fast talk．However, the opposite is a greater cause for suspicion．Speech that is slow, because it is laced(掺入)with pauses or errors, is a more reliable indicator of lying than the opposite．

Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

[　　]

What is true about fixing your eyes on a person when you first meet him/her?

[　　]

A．

Fixing your eyes on the person will make him/her feel at ease．

B．

It is more polite to fix your eyes on him/her as long as you can．

C．

Most people feel uneasy to have eye contact for over a few seconds．

D．

It doesn’t make a difference whether you fix your eyes on him/her or not．

Facial expressions．

Physical contact．
