a “fixed mindset” and were unable to imagine improving. Some of these children said they might cheat in the future; others looked for someone who had done worse than them to raise their self-respect.

Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in Mutation at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable(脆弱的）to failure. They become performance-oriented(以成绩为目的）, wanting to please by getting high grades, but they are not necessarily interested in learning. The solution, according to Dweck, is to praise the process that children are engaged in： making an effort, using learning methods, keeping trying and improving. This way they will become mastery-oriented (i.e. interested in getting better at something) and will achieve more. She says that constant effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.

So, back to our original question. If you answered A, well done- you already have a growth mindset.. If B, don't worry; everyone is able to become mastery-oriented with a little effort and self-awareness. 25. Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1?

What horrors hide in our subconscious (潜意识）？ According to a new French study on sleep-talking, researchers found the most commonly used word is “no”, and the French swearword (骂人的话）“putain” occurred, reports the New York Times, “800 times more often in sleep than when awake”. The study also found that men sleep-talked more than women and used more swearwords.

Sleep-talking is a form of sleep disorders. “In my experience, it can be linked to the nervous system being overactive, which can be related to the overuse of technology before bed or too much coffee, says Dr Nerina. “But these sorts of behaviours can happen with people who quite hard on themselves.

often hold back on saying what they really want to say. When they go to bed at night, it comes out into the sleep.”

The idea that you can find someone s deepest secrets while they are asleep is irresistible. There are apps that record sleep-talking. But can you admit to a murder in your sleep? Or to having a lover? Prof. Horne suggests we shouldn’t read too much into what is said. “Sleep-talking lends to occur in very light sleep,” he says. Sleep-talking isn’t related to dreaming but lo the lighter sleep. It’s really the wanderings of a rather confused mind. ”

It is much more common in children, and the majority of people grow out of it. “Anxiety and stress tends to bring it on,” says Horne. “Sleep-talkers are generally reflecting some sort of aspect of a worry. I think it’s best not to place too much concern on sleep-talking and not take the words said by someone seriously.”
