Passage 29

(江苏省南京市南师附中2010届高三学情分析样题)

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.
