6、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   1  !” You’ve surely heard them．Maybe you’ve used them to describe   2 ．

These comments may come from stories about us that have been   3   for years—often from   4   childhood．These stories may have no   5  in fact． But they can set low expectations for us．As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical （操作機械的） skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life．” How did these expectations   6   my development? I was never   7   to work on cars or be around    8  ． 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,   9  , 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   10   down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking．” On the   11   side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills．”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills．I explained my life   12   and told him about my   13   performance on the Army test．Bob then asked, “  14   is it that you can solve    15  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t   16   from some sort of genetic defect．I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to  17  ．At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been   18   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．   19   , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   20   we choose．

5、My friend took his colleague to see an art exhibition in north London．

The show was basically piles of breeze blocks forming armchair and sofa shapes, painted in primary colors．

Seeing these, the colleague said, “You brought me all the way out here to see this pile of junk when we could have been having a nice lunch?” He continued his rant about the work all the way back to the office．

When they got there my friend said, “You said you don’t like the work, but you haven’t stopped talking about it since you first saw it．”

Whether he liked it or not, he could not forget it．

If the artwork is fresh and new, you can’t expect to like it straightaway, because you have nothing to compare it with．

The effort of coming to terms with things you do not understand makes them all the more valuable to you when you do grasp them．

Good art speaks for itself． That doesn’t mean you have to like it．

So the next time you go to an art show, or look at anything for that matter, observe what effect it has on you and try to form your own opinion．

That way, you become the critic and not a mouthpiece for someone else’s opinions．

1．What does the colleague think about the art exhibition?

A．He feels it a waste of time going to the exhibition．

B．He is very interested in the work shown on the exhibition．

C．He is disappointed that art is abused on the exhibition．

D．He thinks his understanding about art is far better than the author of the work on the show．

2．The underlined word ‘rant’ means ________．

A．praise                                                        B．hatred

C．complaint                                                    D．misunderstanding

3．Which of the following does NOT represent the author’s opinion about art?

A．Good art speaks for itself．

B．Good art doesn’t mean you have to like it．

C．It matters more what impression a piece of art work leaves on you．

D．Learn to be a mouthpiece for someone’s opinion matters more．

4．What suggestion does the author give for going to an art show?

A．Like it whether it is good or not．

B．Don’t compare it with anything．
