听力短文 Passage one
When facing a new situation, some people tend to rehearse their defeat by
spending too much time anticipating the worst. I remember talking with a young
lawyer who was about to begin her first jury trial. She was very nervous. I
asked what impression she wanted to make on the jury. She replied, “I don't want
to look too inexperienced; I don’t want them to suspect. This is my first
trial.” This lawyer had fallen victim to the “don'ts” syndrome, a form of
negative goal setting. The “don'ts” can be self-fulfilling because your mind
responds to pictures. Research conducted at the Stanford University shows a
mental image fires the nervous system the same way as actually doing something
that means when the golfer foretells himself, don't hit the ball into the water.
His mind sees the image of the ball flying into the water, so guess where the
ball will go, consequently before going into any stressful situation, focus only
on what you want to have happen. I asked the lawyer again how she wanted to
appear at her first trial, and this time she said, I want to look professional,
and self-assured. I told her to create a picture of what self-assured would look
like. To her it meant moving confidently around the court room, using convincing
body language and projecting her voice so it could be heard from the judge's
bench to the back door. S?
he also imagined a skillful closing argument and a winning trial. A few
weeks after this positive dress rehearsal, the young lawyer did win.
