The view you hold for yourself greatly affect...

The view you hold for yourself greatly affects the way you lead your life. It can decide whether you become the person you want to be and whether you achieve the things you value. How does this happen? How can a simple belief have the power to change your psychology(心理) and, as a result, your life?

Believing that your qualities are carved(刻) in stone — the fixed mindset — creates a great need to prove yourself over and over. Some of us are trained in this mindset from an early age. Even as a child, I was focused on being smart, but the fixed mindset was really stamped in by Mrs. Wilson, my sixth-grade teacher. She believed that people’s IQ scores told the whole story of who they were. We were seated around the room in IQ order, and only the highest-IQ students could be trusted to collect homework, or take a note to the principal. She was creating a mindset in which everyone in the class had one important goal-look smart, don’t look stupid.

I’ve seen so many people with this one important goal of proving themselves — in the classroom, in their careers, and in their relationships. Every situation calls for a confirmation of their IQ, personality, or character. Every situation is evaluated(评价): Will I succeed or fail? Will I look smart or stupid? Will I feel like a winner or a loser?

But doesn’t our society value IQ, personality, and character? Isn’t it normal to want these qualities? Yes, but ...

There’s another mindset, the growth mindset, which is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can develop through your efforts. Although people may differ in every which way — in their inborn talents, interests, or characters, everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience. Did you know that Darwin and Tolstoy were considered ordinary children? That the photographer Cindy Sherman, who has been on almost every list of the most important artists of the twentieth century, failed her first photography course? That Geraldine Page, one of our greatest actresses, was advised to give it up for lack of talent?

You can see how the belief that valuable qualities can be developed creates a passion(热情) for learning. Why waste time proving how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide weaknesses instead of overcoming them? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will better you? The passion for improving yourself and sticking to it, even when it’s not going well, is the feature(特征) of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to achieve success during some of the most challenging times in their lives.

1.According to Paragraph 5, the example of Darwin and Tolstoy shows that _________

A.success has nothing to do with natural gifts.

B.it’s difficult to predict one’s future success.

C.achievements can be made through hard work.

D.the valuable qualities can encourage people to learn.

2.The author strongly believes that we should _________

A.carry out an honest evaluation of our qualities.

B.see success as the only way to prove IQ or talent.

C.focus on self-development rather than self-proving.

D.believe good things will happen during difficult times.

3.The main purpose of the passage is to _________

A.lead people to take the right mindset.

B.advise people to evaluate their mindset.

C.get people to know the influence of mindset.

D.explain the differences between two mindsets.

The great outdoors! Clean air and beautiful view are just what you need to enjoy yourself. What’s the best way to enjoy it? By camping of course!

First of all, where will you camp? There are camping grounds all over China. The choice is yours!

You will need a tent. Most tents are light and easy to put up. They come with a groundsheet. It stops water getting in, as well as a fly screen, so that bugs(虫子)don’t fly into your tent at night.

Take a sleeping bag and sleeping mat(垫子). Check the weather! Are you going somewhere cold or hot? You can buy sleeping bags of different thickness.

Make sure you bring the right clothes. If you want to go hiking, you will need a pair of walking boots, light trousers, and a waterproof(防水的)coat. A map and compass(指南针)are helpful too.

Cooking outside is fun. Put your stove far away from the tent, or you might cause a fire. Plastic cups and plates are lighter to carry. Make sure you bring enough clean water. Taking water from lakes is dangerous as there might be pollution.

If you are going to a faraway area, bring an “emergency survival aid”(急救箱). Make sure you tell someone where you are going.

Start shopping now! Your first camping trip is just around the corner.

1.According to the writer, ___________________ is the best way to enjoy ourselves. But we need __________________ with a ground sheet and a fly screen.

2.The fly screen won’t let bugs _________________ the tent at night. At the same time, a ___________________ sleeping bag may help you keep warm in some cold places.

3.When going hiking, we should bring the right clothes. And of course it’s helpful to bring __________________ and _________________.

4.It is fun to _________________. But remember to put the stove far away from the tent in order not to _____________________.

5.If I want to go to an area far away, it’s necessary to tell someone else ________________________ and bring an _______________________________.

“The only thing holding you back is yourself. Never say never”, said a rising 17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, who was just an ordinary boy in Canada a few years ago.

After the accident of falling from the 18th floor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands were frozen and my spinal cord(脊髓) was seriously injured. All the doctors and professors in the famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover(康复).

After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises, I could not make any more progress for over a year. What was worse, I suffered a lot from depression(绝望). On top of this, I suffered from insomnia, making every minute of the light seem to last forever. Hopelessly, mom and I came back to my hometown, which is small town in Guangdong.

At that time, I thought that I would never be able to walk again. I would never love and be loved. I would never be able to earn even a penny. I would never be able to repay the kindness I got from my parents and many nice people.　 Life was meaningless.

Now two years has passed. My hands are 80% recovered. I can even type faster than a healthy person! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already. Although I don’t earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What’s more, I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend. Through my blogs(博客), many people get to know me and like me. I can bring happiness to them. I can help those who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them…. You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed.

So, my friends, never say never. As long as you are alive, there is always hope and possibilities. It is never too late to take action to realize your dreams.
