We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects （缺陷） that can
never be changed．“I’m impatient．” “I’m always behind．” “I always put things 21 !” You’ve
surely heard them．Maybe you’ve used them to describe 22 ．
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 23 for years—often
from 24 childhood．These stories may have no 25 in fact．But they can set low
expectations for us．As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical （操作
机械的） skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life．” How did
these expectations 26 my development? I was never 27 to work on cars or be around
28 ．When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test．My scores were in the
bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, 29 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree．One of
my professors, Dr．Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t
do．On the positive side, I 30 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking．” On the
31 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills．”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills．I explained my life 32 and told
him about my 33 performance on the Army test．Bob then asked, “ 34 is it that you can
solve 35 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 36 from some sort of genetic defect．I was just living
out expectations that I had chosen to 37 ．At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends
who had been 38 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless．And it wasn’t just the Army
test, either．I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I
kept saying that, it was going to remain true． 39 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have
incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 40 we choose．

What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I 21 an intelligence test that all
soldiers took, and, against 22 of 100, scored 160．No one at the base had ever seen a figure like
that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me.
All my life I've been registering scores like that, 23 I have the complacent(洋洋自得的)
feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don't
such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are
considered worthy of answers by people who 24 the intelligence tests - people with
intellectual bents(天分) similar to mine?
For instance, I once had an auto-repair man, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 25
have scored more than 80,by my estimate. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to
him—and he always fixed it.
Well，then，suppose my auto—repair man 26 questions for some intelligence tests．By doing
every one of them I'd prove myself a 27 ．In a world where I have to work with my 28 ，
I'd do poorly．
Consider my auto—repair man 29 ．He had a habit of telling 30 ．One time he said.
“Doc, a deaf and dumb man 31 some nails．Having entered a store，he put two fingers together
on the counter and made 32 movements with the other hand．The clerk brought him a
hammer．He 33 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering．The clerk 34
him some nails．He picked out the right size and left．Well，Doc，the 35 man who came in was
blind．He wanted scissors． 36 do you suppose he asked for them?
made scissoring movements with my first two fingers．He burst out laughing and said，“Why, you
fool，he used his 37 and asked for them.” Then he said smugly, 38 that on
all my customers today. 39
I'd catch that?I asked. you're so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you
couldn't be very 40 .．

My daughter performed on behalf of her class in the annual school concert today. She played
so 36 that I could not help cheering her. The very scene reminded me of her experiences of piano
practicing.
When she was five, we gave her a piano as a birthday present. With great _37 , she began

to learn the piano, not to mention the daily routine of practice .
When her first teacher left, my friend _ 39_ me to an American teacher whose way of
teaching was completely American. After practicing, she would give my daughter some __40_
comments, and then point out what should be improved. Every time she came,_41_ beginning the

one more step.” That was the very thing I wanted to teach her.
