[9] When facing a new situation, some people tend to rehearse their defeat by spending too much time anticipating the worst. I remember talking with a young lawyer who was about to begin her first jury trial. She was very nervous. I asked what impression she wanted to make on the jury. She replied: "I don’t want to look too inexperienced. I don’t want them to suspect this is my first trial." This lawyer had fallen victims to the don’ts syndrome— a form of negative goals setting. The don’ts can be self-fulfilling because your mind responses to pictures.
[10] Research conducted at Stanford University shows a mental image fires the nerve system the same way as actually doing something. That means when a golfer tells himself: "Don’t hit the ball into the water." His mind sees the image of the ball flying into the water. So guess where the ball will go?
[11] Consequently, before going into any stressful situation, focus only on what you want to have happen. I asked the lawyer again how she wanted to appear at her first trial. And this time she said: "I want to look professional and self-assured." I told her to create a picture of what self-assured would look like. To her, it meant moving confidently around the court room, using convincing body language and projecting her voice, so it could be heard from the judge’s bench to the back door. She also imagined a skillful closing argument and a winning trial. [12] A few weeks after this positive stress rehearsal, the young lawyer did win.
Questions 9 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard.
9. What do some people do when they face a new situation?
10. What does the research conducted at Stanford University show?
11. What advice does the speaker give to people in a stressful situation?
12. What do we learn about the lawyer in the court?
选项
A、Anticipate possible problems.
B、Picture themselves succeeding.
C、Make a list of do’s and don’ts.
D、Try to appear more professional.
答案
B
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的anticipate…problems,picture…succeeding,make a list,appear more professional等动词短语可推测,此题与解决问题的建议或方法有关。题干问的是讲话者为处于压力环境中的人们提出了什么建议。短文最后提到在陷入压力的状况之前,把注意力集中于你想让发生的事,因此,在充满压力的环境中要想象成功,故答案为B。A项(预测可能出现的问题),C项(把能做和不能做的事列个清单)短文均未提及,故排除;D项(试着表现得更专业)是作者举了一个关于律师的例子,并不是建议所有处于压力环境中的人都要表现得更专业,故排除。
