心理学家在一所著名大学中选了一些运动员做实验。他们要这群运动员做一些别人无法做到的运动,还告诉他们,他们是国内最好的运动员,因此他们能做到。 这群运动员分两组,第一组到了体育馆后,虽然尽全力去做,但还是做不到。 第二组到体育馆后,研究人员告诉他们第一组失败了。 “但你们这一组不同。”研究人员说:“把这个药吃下去,它会使你们达到超人的水准。 结果第二组运动员轻易地就完成了那些困难的练习。 “那是什么药?”参加者问道。 “那只是粉末而已。” Don’t Underestimate Your Own Value The psychologists selected some athletes at a famous university to do some experiment. They asked these athletes to do the sports that others couldn’t do, telling them because they were the best domestic players, they could do it. These athletes were divided into two groups; after the first group entered the gym, they couldn’t make it though they tried their best. After the second group entered the gym, the researchers told them the first group failed. “But your group is different,” the researchers said, “eat this medicine and it will make you reach the superhuman level.” It turned out that the second group of athletes accomplished those difficult exercises very easily. “What medicine is it?” asked the participants. “It is merely a powder.” psychologist 心理学家;心理学研究者 athlete 运动员 domestic 国内的 accomplish 完成;达到(目的) participant 参加者;参与者 |
