　　How to Visualize Your Success
　　Have you ever heard of visualization (可视化)? Of course you have. Everybody's heard of visualization and everybody partakes in it whether they realize it or not. How it works though is an altogether different matter. I want to take a closer look today at the mechanics of why visualizing works without necessarily delving into concepts and theories that cannot be proven.
　　The brain has great difficulty in distinguishing between what's true and what's imagined. There is an off-cited (经常被引用的) example of an experiment conducted by Austrahan Psychologist, Alan Richardson. He took some basketball players and split them into 3 equal groups. One group was told to practice their free throw technique twenty minutes per day. The next group was told to spend twenty minutes per day visualizing, but not attempting free throws, and the final group wasn't allowed to either practice or visualize. At the end of the test period the group that had done nothing remained as they were, but both the other groups showed similar degrees of improvement, The people who only visualized playing basketball were able to perform almost as well as the ones who had actually practiced.
　　"How can that be so?"
　　Firstly, the people practicing would miss some shots. Each time they missed they had in effect, practiced how to miss.
　　The people that were visualizing would be hitting every basket so they were building up the feelings and memory of how to be successful.
　　Forging a Path through a Meadow
　　Imagine walking home from a new job. You suddenly realize that there is a meadow of long grass that will cut 20 minutes off your walk. If you live in New York you're going to need a great imagination for this one.
　　The first few times you can barely see which way you had walked the previous day. However, after 10 or 20 times you can clearly see a pathway starting to form, and after 100 times all the grass is worn away and there's a farmer with a shotgun
　　and large dog waiting for you at the end. Let's presume our gun-toting friend is a big softie and he allows you to use that route as long as you want. What are the odds that next time you try a slightly different direction? Slim to none would be my guess.
　　After all, you know this way works and you have a lovely easy path.
　　On the other hand, if Farmer Giles starts taking pot shotsat you and sportingly lets the dog try and shoot you too, before releasing it to sink its gnashers into your rear end, then you'll probably find a new way home once you're released from
　　hospital.
　　The next time you're walking home you opt against reacquainting yourself with Fido and spot another meadow further along the road. The same process then begins to take place only this time the original path you made has started to grow back.
　　How We Create a Path in Our Mind That is what happens when we form thoughts in our mind. The first time we have a new thought it is a weakling(虚弱者 ) of a thought that has sand kicked in its face by stronger thoughts and beliefs. Each time you re-think it though it grows in strength as the physical pathway becomes more and more well-defined. Not only that, but if it is a belief that contradicts one you already hold, the older belief starts to atrophy and die.
　　This also explains why we have the same thoughts over and over again and why people have difficulty snapping negative loops (循环) of thinking. The pathway has been established and it's just easier to continue following it than trying to think
　　about something new and form a new connection in the brain.
　　Making Visualization Work for You
　　Visualization is an incredibly successful and simple way of speeding up the process by fooling the unconscious into believing that you have already done something before you have. That's what the basketball visualizers were doing, fooling their own unconscious into thinking they know how to hit basket after basket. Of course this in and of itself will not turn you into an NBA star, you do actually have to practice as well, but it will help you succeed more quickly.
　　All you need to do to be successful at this is to visualize yourself doing something, as you would like to do it. Profound stuff, huh? Seriously though, that is all there is to it. How long you do it each day will affect the speed of change and it's really
　　not advisable visualizing your success for 20 minutes per day and then spending 10 hours worrying about failing and replaying negative stuff in your head. It kind of defeats the object.
　　You can also incorporate the "fake it till you make it" method in with your visualization to help speed up the process.
　　This is simply a matter of pretending you are already proficient at something before you really are. Again, it's simply a way of tricking your unconscious and getting it to do what you want it to do.
　　Some people have difficulty with this process and tell me it's being unrealistic. Well yeh, maybe they're right, but who cares? If you want to be shackled by the chains of realism then go ahead, knock yourself out, but let me tell you this. There are few highly successful people out there that haven't used this method or visualization at one time or another. In fact, successful people don't care too much for reality; it just gets in the way and slows them down. What about you?

　　Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading,in Depth) (25 minutes)

　　Section A
　　Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each
　　choice in bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
　　Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
　　 Good sense is the most equitably distributed thing in the world, for each man considers himself so well provided with it that even those who are most difficult to 47 in everything else do not usually wish to have more of it than they have already.
　　It is not likely that everyone is 48 in this. It shows, rather, that the ability to judge rightly and separate the true from the false, which is essentially what is called good sense or 49 , is by nature equal in all men; and thus that our opinions differ not because some men are better 50 with reason than others, but only because we direct our thoughts along different paths, and do not consider the same things. For it is not enough to have a good mind; what is most important is to 51 it rightly.
　　The greatest souls are capable of the greatest vices; and those who walk very slowly can 52 much further, if they always keep to the direct road, than those who run and go astray.
　　For my part, I have never 53 my mind to be more perfect than average in any way; I have, in fact, often wished that my thoughts were as quick, or my imagination as precise and distinct, or my 54 as capacious or prompt, as those of some other
　　men. And I know of no other qualities than these which make for the 55 of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, in as much as it alone makes us men and distinguishes us from the beasts, I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in
　　each of us, and to follow in the common 56 of the philosophers who say that there are differences of more or less only among the accidents, and not among the forms, or natures, of the individuals of a single species.

　　Section B
　　Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A ], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
　　Passage One
　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
　　Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle's husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy
　　family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
　　Every day of the year, a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a good-bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.
　　Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home--the highest in 15 years.
　　Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
　　To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished
　　marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
　　Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. "It's typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people's pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing
　　yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty."
　　The Salvation Army's Investigation Department has a 70 percent success rate in tracking missing people down. According to Lt. Co. Bramwell Pratt, head of the department, men and women run away for very different reasons though lack of
　　communication is often the biggest motive. "The things that disturb a man's personality are problems like being tied up in debt or serious worries about work. And some women make impossible demands on their husbands. Women usually leave for more obvious reasons but fear is at the root of it. Men are more often prepared to give their marriage another try than women, but we are aware that, for some wives, it would be a total impossibility to return after the way they've been treated."

　　Passage Two
　　Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
　　Public speaking fills most people with dread. Humiliation (羞辱) is the greatest fear; self-exposure and failing to appeal to the audience come a close second. Women hate it most, since girls are pressurized from an early age to be concerned with appearances of all kinds.
　　Most people have plenty of insecurities, and this seems like a situation that will bring them out. If you were under pressure to be perfect, you are terrified of falling in the most public of ways.
　　While extroverts (性格外向者 ) will feel less fear before the ordeal, it does not mean they will necessarily do it better.
　　Some very shy people manage to shine. When I met the British comedian Julian Clary, he was shy and cautious, yet his TV performances are perfect.
　　In fact, personality is not the best predictor of who does it well Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself.
　　Actual acting, as in performing the scripted lines of a character other than yourself, does not do the job. While politicians may limit damage by having carefully rehearsed, written scripts to speak from, there is always a hidden awareness among the
　　audience that the words might not be true.
　　Likewise, the incredibly perfect speeches of many American academics are far from natural. You may end up buying their book on the way out, but soon afterwards, it is much like fast food, and you get a nameless sense that you've been cheated.
　　Although, as Earl Spencer proved at his sister Princess Diana's funeral, it is possible both to prepare every word and to act naturally. A script rarely works and it is used to help most speakers. But, being yourself doesn't work either. If you spoke as if you were in your own kitchen, it would be too authentic, too unaware of the need to communicate with an audience.
　　I remember going to see British psychiatrist R. D. Laing speak in public. He behaved like a seriously odd person, talking off the top of his head. Although he was talking about madness and he wrote on mental illness, he seemed to be exhibiting rather than explaining it.
　　The best psychological place from which to speak is an unselfconscious self-consciousness, providing the illusion of being natural. Studies suggest that this state of "flow", as psychologists call it, is very satisfying.

　　To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 67 the attention and interest of your students; you must be a 68 speaker,with a good, strong, 69. voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 70 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. 71 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 72__ his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 73, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.Listen to him, and you will __74_ the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 75 according to what he is _76 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't 77 that he will indeed be able to act 78 on the stage, for there are very important 79 between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the _80_ words each time he plays a certain part; _81 his movements and the
　　ways in which he uses his voice are usually ._82 beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 83 on the stage.
　　A good teacher __84_ in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 85 : they ask and answer questions; they obey orders; and if they don't understand something, they will say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students.
　　He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 86 it as he goes along.
