三、阅读理解
Does life sometimes seem to be full of problems? How many times do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this maths problem,” or “I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce
yourself to to an amazing word yet (还、仍).
With this word, you can change everything. “I really don’t understand this maths problem yet.”, “I can’t get into
the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible.
I once read about a school. After finding the old Pass/Fail system wasn’t helping students grow,the school tried a new way to mark students’ tests. Now students don’t see a big red F for Fail on their test paper if they don’t pass it. They see a “Not yet”. In this way, students feel that they are on a journey to become a better self. The test is not the end.
1 This kind of thinking is part of what we call “a growth mindset (成长思维)”. People with a growth mindset don’t keep their eyes on what they can’t do. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying till they do. They are not afraid of trouble and believe they can change for the better. ②
③ While other people have “a fixed mindset (固定思维)”. These people often keep their eyes on what they fail to do. They are always worried about not getting things right the first time and are ready to give up when things seem
to go wrong. They don’t think they are able to change. ④
But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. You can learn to have a growth mindset. Remember that it all starts with questioning the things you believe about yourself. Stop believing that you can’t. Believe that you just can’t yet. Once you start doing this, you’ll find how powerful the small word is.

B. People with a growth mindset may say “It isn’t good enough.”
