WHEN John Gurdon was 15, he ranked last out of the 250 boys in his grade at biology. He also came in last for every other science subject. His teacher wrote in a      : “I believe he has ideas about becoming a      ; on his present showing this is quite foolish.”
Luckily, the teacher’s words didn’t       Gurdon’s love for science. He kept working hard. He went to lab earlier and left       than anyone else.
On Oct 8, 2012, 64 years later, the British professor       the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka had contributed to the research and therefore       the award.
Gurdon got the honor       his research into cells and cloning. When he was studying at Oxford, he did some       on cells. He took a cell from an adult frog, moved its      , and put them into an egg cell. The egg cell then       into a clone of the adult frog. His research       for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.
At that time, many people       accept Gurdon’s idea. But later it helped to       Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal in history. It also led to important findings in the       use of cells. For example,       from someone’s skin can turn into any type of tissue in the body. This is good news for those       who have diseased or damaged tissue.
Gurdon always remembers the       he had when he was 15. He even put the report on his desk as a daily       to himself.
“When you have      , like an experiment doesn’t work, it’s nice to remind yourself that perhaps you are not so good at your job and the teacher may be      ,” he said.
However, the facts suggest Gurdon is pretty good indeed.

Mondays are usually pretty busy for me. On one of these      Mondays, I got ready to go to work thinking about all the things I had to       on that day and walked down to get to my car scolding myself for being late to work, but       the car was nowhere to be found. I     right across my apartment the previous night but it wasn’t there that morning.
This was at 8:00 am in the morning. I made      to all the towing(拖)places, police stations all the time thinking that it was towed by     . By around 10:00 am, I couldn’t find it anywhere and the policemen decided that it was      stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely     .
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at an enterprise      to realize that my license was missing too along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole     and he was so sorry for me that he     to take me to the nearest DMV(车管局)and get a duplicate(副本的)   . I was totally surprised. I didn’t know why this complete stranger would want to     some time off his day to help me . He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then      me a car. I was      the whole day because of the continuous events that happened to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a     stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the misfortunes of the day. I was so     by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar      . I took some smiley shaped chocolates and     them on some of my colleague’s desks.
This is still a lot     out there in the world. We just need to take the time to discover it.

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped,        by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was        that they could, at any time, break free,       strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the       for this.
He said, “When they were very young we used the       size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can       hold them, so they never try.”
Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you       once before? Do you often tell       “I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”?
These are       of self limiting beliefs. You must realize you’re       for them. A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math may have       as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which       you. The cool thing is that because you create the       you can choose to change it! Here is how:
First,       it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your      , your subconsciousness will make this      by driving you to act. That might be to take a math course or to go online       help, etc. Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are      .
This is such a simple process that you can       it today. Don’t be like the poor elephant and make your life       at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.
