  One of them suggested everyone be searched,   11   which all agreed, except Blustering.“You   12  , then?” asked Grandin.Blustering said with a red face, “Yes, I cannot allow it.”

  A few years later, Grandin had his house repaired.A workman found the gold coin.  15   in dirt between planks(板)of the floor.Hurrying to Blustering’s home, Grandin apologized to him.

  “But why didn’t you allow yourself to be   16  ?” Grandin asked.

  “Because I was a   17  ,” Blustering said brokenly.“For weeks we had not enough to eat and my pockets were full of   18  , that I had taken from the table to   19   home to my wife and   20   children.”

  A big fire broke out in a clothing factory in our city last Wednesday.At 9∶18 that morning, when the employees   1  (work)busily in the 4-storeyed building, heavy smoke was seen   2  (come)out of the windows on the second floor.In a while, the whole building was in flames.The fire lasted nearly an hour, during which the   3  (major)of the 345 employees managed to escape from the deadly scene.Unfortunately, 7 were killed, and 23   4  (injure), lightly or seriously.

  Some workers complained that aids came too late, but the firemen   5   come just 10 minutes after the fire was reported.To rescue everyone from the burning and smoking building in such a short time was too difficult.  6   only two exits of the big building were not enough for so many people to withdraw(撤退)in a hurry.

  The cause of the fire, according to an investigator, was   7   someone broke the no-smoking rule in the factory, because some cigarette ends were found.If the smokers   8  (have)a stronger sense of security, the fire wouldn’t have happened.Next two weeks, 15 inspection teams will be working in all the factories   9   turn, aiming to clear away the possibility of more fires.  10  (hope)no disasters like this will happen again.

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 many 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 (操作机械的) 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 doctors 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.
