MISTAKES 院CS IN期10 If凝 Your mindset can AVOID MAKINC 距 SIA版 TRAT SHAII affect almost every KNON part of your daily life. BAST Dr Carol Dweck,a MY BEST THIS IS 00 G009 scientist who studies ENOUCH how the mind works, has discovered that people with a fixed mindset deal with problems in a different way from those with a growth mindset. Imagine that two students,Anna and Amy,are taking a really hard math test in September.Anna has a fixed mindset,which means she believes that a person's intelligence is fixed.You're either smart or stupid,and if you're smart,everything is easy for you.Amy has a growth mindset,which means she believes that intelligence can grow.Not everyone can become a genius,but they can improve the skills they have and develop new ones. So,which is right?It's Amy,since,believe it or not,research shows that you really can get smarter by working hard,practising,and challenging yourself. As you know,your brain is made up of billions of neurons ()They are all connected and send messages to each other.Scientists have found that when we leam, neurons make new connections and old connections grow stronger.But if connections aren't used,they will break down.So,learning is like exercise for your brain.The more you work it out,the stronger and smarter your network of neurons will become. According to Dr Carol Dweck's studies,people with a fixed mindset worry about grades.They're afraid of looking stupid when they make mistakes.People with a 九年级英语第7页（共12页） growth mindset care about learning not grades.They learn from their mistakes and try to find different ways of solving problems.They ask for help when necessary.In only two years,babies learn to walk,talk and feed themselves.They never worry about looking stupid when learning.If they make mistakes,they just try again. Dweck's team also discovered that,with some work,kids can choose to have a growth mindset.They can do better in school.The trick is to notice what mindset you have.If you ever think yourself stupid,it's not true.You just have not learned how to do something yet. 34.Which of the following is true about neurons? A:Learning is not always helpful to them. B.All of them are connected to each other. C.They only make new connections when we study. D.The connections among them will never break down. 35.What might a man with a growth mindset agree about? A.If people are smart enough,they can do everything easily B.The mindset plays the most important role in people's life. C.People will look foolish when they make mistakes in study. D.Everyone can get smarter by working hard and practising more. 36.Why does the writer give the example of babies in paragraph 5? A.To show babies learn new skills from mistakes. B.To show babies easily make mistakes in daily life. C.To show babics leam skills faster than older people.

A.Does this mean we shouldn't wear jeans? B.They might be putting some sea animals in danger. C.But according to a new study,our love for jeans may be bad for Earth. D.Thoy come out of our washing machine and into the world's rivers,lakes and oceans. E.Scientists also washed jeans to see how many bits of denim each pair would drop for each wash. 九年级英语第10页（共12页）
