Question

【題目】Fixed or growth mindset — which do you have?

We live in an uncertain world with all the technological advances we are experiencing， which meanse is a requirement for a change in midset (思維模式）. In order to be on top of our game both personally and organizationally, we need to develop a growth mindset.

A fixed mindset supposes that you have native abilities and are naturally clever or skilled in certain areas of life. When you receive infonnation about how you have performed in a test or set of tasks t you may worry about how you are judged. Our parents probably said to us when we were young,"Since you scored really well in the test, you must be clever." However, by being repeatedly told “You arc clever” or “You are really ga*al al your job”，a person’s self-respect is actually dainagcd.

The growlh - mindest persona view life as a series of exciting challenges and want t o constantly learn. Brain activity occurs in this mindset when they receive information about what they could do belter or improve. They do not view their abilities as fixed or us failure.

The meanin of mindsets is massive for business. Fixed-mindset managers are not fans of giving feedback (反饋）. They do not want to stretch themselves or others because they fear failure. Therefore their business may stand still because there is no risk or innovation (創(chuàng)新） occurring.

Listen from your own fixed mindset 一 for example ," I can't do that” 一 and answer with a growth-mindset response 一 “I can't do that yet!" Remember there is no such thing as failure and there is s only learning. If you don't fail occasionally ，you will never learn to change and grow.

【學法指導】

細節(jié)題的破解一般采用尋讀法，即先看試題，再讀文章。對有關(guān)信息進行快速定位，再將相關(guān)信息進行整合、甄別、分析、對比，有根有據(jù)地排除干擾項，選出正確答案。此法加強了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的準確率，節(jié)省了寶貴的時間。尋讀法還特別適用于對圖形表格類題材的理解。做此類型的題目還要特別注意句子的邏輯關(guān)系。英語中有許多功能詞，如：表因果關(guān)系的because, since, as等；表轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的but, however ,on the contrary, on the other hand等等。【1】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句In order to be on top of our game both personally and organizationally, we need to develop a growth mindset. 人們應該培養(yǎng)生長的心態(tài)。故選D。
