    　　A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work．

    　　He may have the idea that he is not capable (有能力的) of it． It is easy to get such an idea even though there is no justification for it． A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental abilities, or he may accept another person's mistaken opinion of his ability． Older people may be handicapped 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 won't go at a job with the confidence (自信) necessary for success, and he won't work hardest, even though he may think he is doing so． He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his lack of ability．

    　　Alfred Adler, a famous psychiatrist (精神病医生), had an experience that illustrates this． When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in math． His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in math, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him． In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do math?” He accepted their mistaken opinion of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at math, just as they expected．

    　　One day he became very angry at the teacher and other students because they laughed when he said he saw how to do a math problem which none of the other students had been able to solve．

    　　Adler succeeded in solving the problem． This gave him confidence． He rejected the idea that he couldn’t do math and was determined to show them that he could． His anger and his new found confidence encouraged him to work at math problems with a new spirit． He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at math． He not only proved that he could do math, but he learned early in life from his own experience that, if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may astonish himself as well as others by his ability．

    　　This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have． And that lack of success is as often the result of lack of confidence and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability．

    1．The word “justification” most probably means________．

    [　　]

    A．rightness
    B．reason
    C．need
    D．demand

    2．What is the main idea of this passage?

    [　　]

    A．The basic laws in doing math problems．

    B．All successes are caused by purpose．

    C．Our ideas do not always have any influence on us．

    D．Our ideas about ourselves may have a negative influence．

    3．What does Alfred Adler's story tell us?

    [　　]

    A．Math is actually very easy to learn．

    B．Anybody can become a mathematician, if he has determination．

    C．Many people have more ability than they think they have．

    D．Most teachers are wrong when they evaluate their students．

    4．Why did he become angry one day?

    [　　]

    A．Because he was very poor at math．

    B．Because they challenged him to do a difficult math problem．

    C．Because he couldn’t solve the math problem．

    D．Because the teacher and other students laughed at him．

    　　It happened in one of those colorful Danish inns which offer service specially for tourists and where English is spoken．I was with my father on a business－and－pleasure trip, and in our free hours we were having a wonderful time．

    　　“I wish Mother were here．” I said．

    　　“If your mother had come with us,” said Father, “it would have been wonderful to show her around．”

    　　He had visited Denmark when he was a young man, I asked him, “How long is it since you were here?”

    　　“Oh, about thirty years．I remember being in this very inn, by the way．” He looked around, remembering．“Those were pleasant and enjoyable days…” He stopped wuddenly, and I saw that his face was pale．I followed his eyes and looked across the room to a woman who was setting drinks before some customers．She might have been pretty once, but now she was fat and her hair was untidy．“Do you know her” I asked．

    　　“I did once,” he said．

    　　The woman came to our table．“Drinks?” she asked．

    　　“We'll have beer,” I said．She nodded and went away．

    　　“I couldn't believe it! How she has changed! Thank heaven she didn't recognize me,” Father said in a low voice, cleaning his face with a handkerchief．“I knew her before I met your mother, ”he went on．“I was a student, on a tour．She was a lovely young girl, very graceful．I fell madly in love with her, and she with me．”

    　　“Does Mother know about her?” I said suddenly, without thinking．

    　　“Of course,” Father said gently．He looked at me a little anxiously．I felt embarrassed(尴尬)for him．

    　　I said, “Dad, you don't have to…”

    　　“Your mother would tell you if she were here．I don't want you wondering about this．I was a foreigner to her family．I depended on my father．If she had married me, she wouldn't have had any bright future．So her father was against our romance．When I wrote to my father that I wanted to get married he stopped posting money to me．And I had to go home．But I met the girl once more, and told her I would return to America, borrow enough money to get married on, and come back for her in a few months．”

    　　“We knew, ”he continued, “that her father might stop and take away our letter, so we agreed that I would simply mail her a slip of paper with a date on it, the time she was to meet me at a certain place; then we'd get married．Well, I went home, got the money and sent her the date．She received the note．She wrote me：‘I'll be there．’ But she wasn't．Then I found that she had been married about two weeks before, to a local innkeeper．She hadn't waited．”

    　　Then my father said, “Thank God she didn't．I went home, met your mother, and we’ve been completely happy．We often joke about youthful love romance．I suggest that one day you write a story about it．”

    　　The woman appeared with our beer．

    　　“You are from America?” she asked me．

    　　“Yes,” I said．

    　　She smiled happily, “A wonderful country, America．”

    　　“Yes, a lot of your countrymen have gone there．Did you ever think of it?”

    　　“Not me．Not now, ”she said．“I thought so one time, a long time ago．But I stayed here．It's much better here．”

    　　We drank our beer and left．Outside I said, “Father, just how did you write that date on which she was to meet you?”

    　　He stopped, took out an envelope and wrote on it．“Like this, ”he said．“12/11/13, which was, of course, December11th, 1913．”

    　　“No!”I said loudly．“It isn't in Denmark or any European country．Over here they write the day first, then the month．So that date wouldn't be December11th but the 12th of November!”

    　　Father passed his hand over his face．“So she was there!” he signed,“and it was because I didn't show up that she got married．” He was silent a while．“Well,” he said, “I hope she's happy．She seems to be．”

    　　As we continued walking I said, “It's a lucky thing it happened that way．You wouldn't have met Mother．”

    　　He put his arm around my shoulders, looked at me with a heartwarming smile, and said,“I was doubly lucky, young man, for otherwise I wouldn't have met you, either!”

    Does Everyone Benefit?

    　　NEW YORK America has been experiencing the longest economic increase in its history. Incomes have risen, unemployment has fallen, and cities such as New York are bursting with new office buildings.

    　　But just a short walk from Manhattan's skyscrapers, George Brown sits on the sidewalk, cooking a lunch of rice and bits of fish over a can of cooking fuel.

    　　Brown is homeless -- one of the 2.3 million people in the US who end up on the street.

    　　During the day, Brown collects aluminium cans and sells them for five cents a piece. At night, he sleeps on the street.

    　　“I have been on the street about eight or nine years, something like that,” said the 62-year-old former construction worker.

    　　Brown admits he's had problems with alcohol and has smoked cocaine, but he said he still wants a more stable (not likely move) housing arrangement.

    　　He could afford it with the money he earns collecting cans and small pieces of metal, if only truly low-income housing were available.

    　　However, he sees no hope of finding affordable housing in New York.

    　　With the strong economy and unemployment down, beautiful housing is being built to meet demands.

    　　US report shows the rent in New York City, rose more than 27 percent between

    1984 and 1999, from US $ 549 to US $ 700 a month.

    　　One of the side effects of the strong economy is that rents have been going up.

    　　The majority of people who experience homelessness really just need some afford-able housing help.

    　　But few housing companies have been built for the poor. Many small apartments in the city now rent for US $1,500 a month or more.

    　　Brown, the homeless New Yorker, said he has a daughter who lives in the city but he rarely sees her. She is angry at his drinking and won't allow it in her house.

    　　Smiling, he said he also has seven grandchildren whom he'd like to see more often.

    　　A poor traveler stopped under the tree to eat the boiled rice and vegetable which he had brought with him．A few meters away, there was a small shop by the side of the road where a woman was frying fish and selling it to travelers．The woman watched the poor traveler carefully, and when he finished his food and began to go, she shouted rudely, “You haven’t paid me for the fried fish!”

    　　“But I have not had any fried fish!” he said．

    　　“But everyone can see that you enjoyed the smell of my fried fish with your rice and vegetables, ” said the woman．“If you had not smelled the fish, your meal would not have been so pleasant!”

    　　“Twenty-five cents a plate,” she answered, delighted．
