问题    There is no magic recipe for success, but there is one essential 【C1】 ing______: the right attitude. Without a positive attitude, success is completely impossible. Henry Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, once said, ’ Whether you think you can, or you think you can’ t—you are right!’ In other words, it’ s your perception of your abilities that will determine your success. This may be hard to believe, but it’ s backed 【C2】 ______ by scientific research.

   In 1968, scientists carried out an interesting experiment in a primary school. At the beginning of the school year, the teachers were told that one group of pupils was excellent while the other was nothing special. At the end of the year, the group with the excellent pupils got very good grades, 【C3】 wh______ the pupils in the other class only got average ones. However, in reality, the pupils in both the groups had about the same 【C4】 ______(intelligent). The conclusion is clear: one group did much better than the other because their teachers thought that they were extraordinary students.
   The teachers in the experiment were optimists as far as one of the groups was concerned, and pessimists regarding the other group. 【C5】 ______and large, pessimists are suspicious people and they see problems everywhere, while optimists always look for opportunities. Whenever an important new invention comes out, for example, 【C6】 ______ will always talk about the potential problems and seldom see the advantages. When computers first began to be massively used at work, pessimists believed that they and many of their colleagues would lose their jobs because they weren’ t skilled 【C7】 ______ using them. However, almost everyone now agrees that computers have created more job opportunities. In addition to this, they have made our lives better in many ways.
   According to psychologist Martin Seligman, when pessimists have to deal with a difficult situation, they tend to think that it can’ t be changed and that it is their own fault. An optimist, on the other hand, believes that problems are only temporary and an 【C8】 ______(except)to normal life—they happen by accident or because of something unusual. For this reason, optimists don’ t get depressed when something goes wrong. They see it as a challenge, which 【C9】 enc______them to try harder.
   All of us will have to deal with difficulties in our lives at one time or another. The key to our success will be how we decide to confront them: with 【C10】 ______(resign), or as a challenge. Which path will you choose?
【C9】
选项
答案encourages
解析 该句的意思是“他们把这些问题视为挑战，激励自己做出更大的努力。”由上下文可知，乐观主义者看见的是困难中存在的机会。因此，他们会不断地激励自己。并且，which指代a challenge，为第三人称单数。因此，空格处应填入encourages。
