[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、She wore a designer dress.
B、She did not speak loud enough.
C、She won her first jury trial.
D、She presented moving pictures.
答案
C
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的人称代词she以及wore,speak,won,presented等动词可推测,此题与she的衣着以及表现有关。题干问的是关于法庭上的那位律师我们知道什么。短文最后提到经过压力下的积极演练,几周之后那位年轻的律师打赢了官司,故答案为C。B项(她讲话声音不够大),短文中那位律师想让自己的声音在法官的长椅到后门的空间内都能听见,故排除;A项(她穿了一件精心设计的裙子),D项(她展示了一些感人的图片)短文中均未提及,故排除。
