问题     A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties, or he may accept another person’s mistaken estimate of his ability. Older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.
    A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won’t go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.
    Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, "Isn’t it too bad that Alfred can’t do arithmetic?" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.
    One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.
    This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one’s ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.
Which of the following is the most important factor to Adler’s success?
选项 A、Spirit and experience.
B、Interest.
C、Confidence and determination.
D、Purpose and knowledge.
答案C
解析 本题问阿德勒成功的最重要的因素是什么。文章第四段指出，一天，阿德勒成功地解出了一道其他同学都未能解出的算术题，这便给他树立了信心。他否定了他学不了算术的观点，并决心让人们看一看他能学好算术。新确立的信心激励他以新的面貌去面对数学题。此时，他学起来有了兴趣、有决心和目的，不久，他的算术学得格外出色。因此，本题的正确答案应是C“他的自信和决心”。
