D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 共12分)

Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute mile? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a

human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954.

What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when

someone, who does not know how to swim, falls in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who hasn’t learned swimming

could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal does not.

Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it

is to increase the typing speed. Most people never question it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the

typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam if the operator typed too fast.

These three cases show the power of our beliefs(信念）. There is no other more powerful directing force in human

behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers a direct command to your nervous

system.

I used a snake to show my students in India how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. They thought snakes were slippery, slimy( 粘糊糊的) and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.

Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change.

93. Who first ran a mile in less than four minutes?

_________________________________________________________________.

94. If we put an animal in a pond, what will happen?

_________________________________________________________________.

95. Why are the letters organized in such a particular order on your keyboard?

They are organized in such a particular order _____________________________.

96. According to the passage, does your belief have a great effect on your behavior?

____, _____________________________________________________________.

97. What does the writer’s experiment show?

It shows ____________________________________________________________.

98. What does the writer think of beliefs?

They_______________________________________________________________.
