26、elf that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties, or he may accept another persons mistaken estimate of his ability. Older people may be handic
27、apped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age. A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He wont go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely
28、 to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had and experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic and told his parents wha
29、t she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isnt it too bad that Alfred cant do arithmetic?“ He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.
30、One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldnt do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with
31、a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic. This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is often the result of lack of knowledge of how to app
32、ly ones ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it the result of lack ability. 31 According to the passage, which statement is NOT true? （ A） A child may accept another persons underestimate of his ability. （ B） He may think that he is too young to make the most of his mental facul
33、ties. （ C） A person may have the idea that he is incapable of doing good work. （ D） Some old people dont believe that they are capable of learning anything new. 32 A person who believes in his incompetence will _. （ A） make no real efforts （ B） fail to go at a job （ C） show a complete lack of confid
34、ence （ D） all of the above 33 As a boy, Alfred Adler was poor at arithmetic because _. （ A） he lost his self-confidence （ B） he was mentally retarded （ C） his teacher had little confidence in him （ D） his parents expected too much of him 34 Which of the following is the most important factor to Adle
35、rs success? （ A） Spirit and experience. （ B） Interest. （ C） Confidence and determination. （ D） Purpose and knowledge. 35 Adlers experience made him realize that _. （ A） people are not as capable as they think （ B） people can be more capable than they think （ C） lack of knowledge leads to failure （ D
36、） lack of ability results in lack of determination 35 The bat is a marvel of evolutionary adaptation. Most of them roost during the day, and are active at night or twilight for they can avoid objects in the dark. I have seen this phenomenon at work. In my youth I used to explore old mining shafts in
37、 the Randsburg district. Sometimes my intrusion disturbed clans of bats that were hanging upside down in the dark caves. They would fly about to evident panic, but the panic was mine, not theirs. Some flew crazily out into the daylight but some merely returned to their perches. None ever touched me,
38、 much to my relief. They may exist but I have never seen a stuffed nylon bat. To children, bats may not be as lovable as koala bears. Perhaps manufacturers do not regard them as marketable. It is not so much their hideous faces and winged bodies that have caused us to get rid of bats, but rather the
39、 ancient myths in which dead humans, such as Count Dracula, leave their graves at night in the form of bats to suck blood from human victims, especially fragile young woman. As we know from some movies these vampires must return to their graves before daylight. Endangered young women can frustrate v
40、ampire by sleeping with a string of garlic around their necks. There are actually three species of bloodsucking bats. They are called vampire bats after the ancient legends, and their tactics are indeed frightful. Like Count Dracula, they feed at night. They make a small cut in their sleeping victim
41、 with sharp incisor teeth, usually not even awakening their prey. Then they suck the blood that sustains them. Should that discourage children from wanting them as pets? As Mitchell notes from the New Yorker ad, bats are clean and intelligent. Most of them are insect-eaters, and they serve nature by
42、 destroying crop-damaging insects. They also pollinate (传授花粉 ) flowers and spreading seed. Bat Conservation International claims that without bats a host of insects/pests would multiply unchecked and many of our planets most valuable plants would go unpollinated. It is clear that the bat is our frie
43、nd, and that, despite its appearance, it is here to serve humanity. Id be the first to buy a stuffed nylon bat. Childrens hearts are big, and bats need love, too. 36 What does the author mean by saying that “the panic was mine“? （ A） In great panic, the bats were driven out of the cave. （ B） I was g
44、reatly scared by the unexpected view of the hideous flying mammals. （ C） The bats were too tiny to cause panic. （ D） The bats moved reluctantly from where they stayed. 37 According to the passage, vampire bats _。 （ A） live on the blood of living creatures （ B） are believed to be fond of delicate wom
45、en （ C） never ever fly in the daylight （ D） are the evil spirit of Count Dracula 38 The toy companies are rarely interested in making a toy bat probably because _. （ A） bats destroy crop-damaging insects （ B） bats are the marvel of evolution adaptation （ C） bats suck the blood of dying people （ D） b
46、ats inspire disgust based on some traditional beliefs 39 A string of garlic is described as being useful for endangered women _. （ A） to locate the bats （ B） to keep off the bats （ C） to kill the bats （ D） to poison the bats 40 The author agrees that the bar in general is _. （ A） unhelpful （ B） harm
47、ful （ C） ugly-looking （ D） marketable 40 Our culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone. We do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to ones side, or that in
48、 Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell. Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War and marked the items GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that “gift“ means poison in German. Mor
49、eover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arms length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable. Our linguistic (语言上的 ) and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.
