Sn after, her parents put in a small yard garden. When friends came ver, Kendall enjyed sharing what she knew. And she says. “My friends help me water and care fr the plants.”
At the age f six, she became the yungest licensed farmer in Gergia. Tday, her garden has grwn t include sixty plant beds and twelve trees! When the vegetables and fruits are ripe (成熟的), Kendall says, “I pick them, then I d a fd sale s ther kids and families can have sme.” Peple wh dn’t have enugh fd are invited t take what they need.

①Des life smetimes seem t be full f impssible prblems? Hw many times, fr example, d yu find yurself saying things like “I really dn’t understand this Maths prblem”, r “I can’t get int the schl team”? Well, maybe it’s time t intrduce yurself t the pwer f “yet”. By adding this simple wrd, yu can change everything. “I really dn’t understand this Maths prblem yet.” “I can’t get int the schl team yet.” Suddenly, the impssible becmes pssible. Yu can imagine thse things happening.
②I read abut a schl that has changed the way it marks students’ exams. The schl finds ut that the ld pass/fail system wasn’t helping students’ mtivatin (积极性). If yu passed, then great, but thse students wh didn’t pass ften felt like failures. S nw students wh dn’t pass the exams will nt see a big red F n their papers; they see a “Nt yet”. Instead. That way the students feel that they are n a jurney. They haven’t reached the end, but they knw that they are ging the right way.
③This kind f thinking is part f what experts call “having a grwth mindset”. Peple with a grwth mindset dn’t cncentrate n failure. They aren’t wrried by nt getting things right the first time and are happy t keep trying until they d. They enjy the challenge and believe they can change. In cntrast, peple wh just fcus n the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These peple are always wrried abut failure and are happy t give up when things dn’t g right. They dn’t think that they are able t change. Clearly, it is better t have a grwth mindset than a fixed mindset.
④But dn’t wrry if yu think that yu have a fixed mindset ______. Remember that it all starts with questining the things yu believe abut yurself. Stp believing that yu can’t r yu haven’t and realize that yu just can’t r haven’t yet. Once yu start ding this, yu’ll wnder why yu didn’t d it befre. It’s ne small but very pwerful wrd.
18. The example in Paragraph 2 is t ______.
A. express a feeling B. describe a prblem C. shw the result D. supprt the tpic
19. Accrding t the passage, which ne f the fllwing has “a grwth mindset”?
A. Jack gt an “A” in the exam. He was quite happy t tell his parents.
B. David failed in a cmpetitin, but he stays cnfident and keeps trying.
C. Jenny fund it hard t wrk ut the maths prblem, s she gave it up.
D. Emma was refused by schl team. She didn’t want t have anther try.

A. Experts will help yu grw up healthily in mind
B. Yu can train yurself t develp a grwth mindset
C. Everyne has his wn advantages and disadvantages
