A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work.
He may have the 36 that he is not capable (有能力的) of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make 37 of his mental faculties(官能). Older people may be mistaken that they are incapable of 38 anything new because of their age.
A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real 39 , because he feels that it 40 be useless. He won’t go at a job with the confidence(信心) necessary for success, and he won’t work his hardest, even though he may 41 he is doing so. He is 42 likely to fail, and the failure will 43 his belief in his incompetence(无能).
Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had 44 like this. When he was a small boy, he had a poor 45 in maths. His teacher told his 46 he had no ability in maths in order that they would not 47 too much of him. In this way, they too 48 the idea. He accepted 49 mistaken thinking of his ability, felt that it was useless to 50 , and was very poor at maths, 51 as they expected.
One day he worked out a problem which 52 of the other students had been able to solve.
Adler succeeded in solving the problem. This gave him confidence. He now 53 with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became especially good at 54 . He not only proved that he could learn maths well, but luckily he learned early in his life from his own experience that if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may 55 himself as well as others by his ability. 36—40 ABBCA 41—45 BDBAC 46—50 DBADC 51—55 CABDA

I still remember the moment I looked at my saving book when I had only two clients all month. I started my speech pathology (言语病理学) practice in 1998 and gradually the business to 13 employees. But last year, people were not able to speech therapy (言语治疗) because of the economic crisis. I cut my own because I didn’t want to let any of my staff go. my husband, Brian, lost his job.
We had 11 in all and our oldest four were already and away from home. We’ve always been interested in food sources and the kids where their came from. We love fresh vegetables, eggs or meat directly from small farms, which are safe and . So we wondered what if we started farming.
When a local farmer we get some laying hens because there was a market for fresh , our plan came together. It was scary and . What if no one bought anything? people did buy the eggs. The local farmer took eggs to to his customers, and today he purchases about 20 dozen a week from us.
The children out, which is important we already have 270 laying hens and 200 chickens.
The speech therapy business is still , but I put in less than ten hours a week. I know that on the , there is life, there is physically satisfying work, and our family members more to each other. Our quality of life is so much better. I spend most of the day with my children, which I was grateful . And at night, I have the good feelings that come from working with my hands and doing something positive.
