Question

Alfred Alder, a famous psychiatrist, had an interesting experience. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isn’t it too bad that Alfred can’t do arithmetic?” He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, feeling that it was useless to try, and that he was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.

One day he became very angry at the teacher and the other students because they laughed when he said he saw how to do a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve.

Adler succeeded in solving the problem. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His anger and his new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic. He not only proved that he could do arithmetic, but he learned early in life from his own experience that, if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may astonish himself as well as others by his ability.

This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one’s ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.

試題分析：本文敘述了著名的精神病專家Alfred Alder的一次經歷。他從小被他的老師認為他是學不好的人，可有一次，他解決了其他的人都解決不了的問題，從此，他自己有了自信，再加上他的決心，使他認識到：人只要有信心和決心就能成功。

1.這是細節理解題。根據Adler succeeded in solving the problem. This gave him confidence.他成功的解決了那個問題之后，他獲得自信，故選A。

2.這是細節理解題。根據if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may astonish himself as well as others by his ability.一個沒有成功的人是因為他沒有決心。故選D。

3.這是推理判斷題。根據he was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.

他接受了老師的判斷，他的數學學不好了，故選B。

4.這是推理判斷題。根據He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.可知Adler后來有自信，有決心，有目的最后終于成功了，故選A。
