二、听力原文

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 goal setting.
The "don'ts" can be self-fulfilling because your mind response to pictures.
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?
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.
A few weeks after this positive stress rehearsal, the young lawyer did win.

Question 9: What do some people do when they face a new situation?
Question 10: What does the research conducted at Stanford University show?
Question 11: What advice does the speaker give to people in a stressful situation?
Question 12: What do we learn about the lawyer in the court?

三、答案

9. C
10. D
11. C
12. B

【翻译】

面临新环境时，有些人因为花太多的时间做最坏的打算，所以他们易于重复他们的失败。

我记得和一位年轻律师交谈，她将要开始她的第一次陪审团审讯。

她非常紧张。

我问她想给陪审团留下什么样的印象。

她回答道：“我不想让自己看起来太没经验，不想让他们怀疑这是我第一次参与审讯。”

这位律师成了“不能”综合征的受害者——一种设定消极目标的形式。

这种“不能”之所以会自行实现，是因为你的大脑响应这些“不能”的画面。

斯坦福大学进行的研究表明，大脑中的图像刺激神经系统的原理与某人实际在做某事是一样的。

这就像是高尔夫球手对自己说：“千万别把球打进水里”。他的脑海里就浮现出球飞进水里的画面。

那么，猜猜球会打到哪里去？

因此，在进入有压力的环境之前，只需将注意力集中在你想要发生的事情上。

我再次询问这名律师想以什么样的形象出现在她的第一次陪审团审讯上。

这次她说：“我想看起来专业和自信”。

我让她想象一下她自信时的样子。

就她而言，该画面就是能自信地在法庭上走动、使用有魄力的肢体语言和大声地说话，这样法庭里的所有人都能听到她讲话。

她还想像了一下巧妙的结案陈词和胜诉的场面。

这样的积极压力预演后的一两周，这位年轻的律师果然胜诉了。

问题9到12是基于你刚才所听到的那篇短文。

问题9：面临新环境时，有些人会怎么做？

问题10：斯坦福大学进行的研究表明了什么？

问题11：说话者给处于压力之中的人们的建议是什么？

问题12：我们能从法庭上的律师身上获得什么信息？
