Answer 1

Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute mile? For years people believed that it is impossible for a human being to 1 a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it 2 in 1954．
后面说了，runners，1当然填run
整句话的意思是：多年来，人们认为一个人要在4分钟内跑完1英里是不可能，直到Roger Banister在1954年证明了这是错的。
proved it wrong 证明是错的

Within one year, 37 runners 3 the belief barrier．And the year after that, 300 other runners did the same thing．
1年内，37个跑步者打破了这个迷思。1年以后，另外300个跑步者也做了同样的事
打破，当然用broke
What happens if you put an animal in a 4 ?
你把一个动物放在水池里会发生什么事呢？
后面在讲swim，当然是选pond，水池，而不选笼子、沙漠、森林
Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through．
任何动物，大或小，都会拼命游。
What happens when someone, who does not know how to swim, falls in deep waters? You 5 ．
如果一个不会游泳的人掉进了深水里会怎么样？你会溺水。
drown是溺水的意思

If an animal who has not learned swimming could 6 by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal does not．
如果一只不会游泳的动物会游泳逃生，为什么你不行？因为你认为你会溺水，而动物不会。
escape 是逃生的意思

These 7 show the power of beliefs．
这些案例/例子（cases) 都证明了信念的力量。

There is no other more 8 force in directing human behavior than belief．
没有比信念更有力的能量能引导人。
powerful 有力的

Our beliefs have the power to 9 and to destroy．
我们的信念有创造和毁灭的力量。
create 创造 与后面的毁灭形成对比

In a way it is our beliefs that determine how much we’ll be able to 10 our potential．
我们的信仰决定了我们能认识到自己多少的潜力。
realize 认识到

So pay attention to some of your 11 ．
所以要注意你的一些信念。
一直都在讲beliefs.

Do you believe you are weak in mathematics? Do you believe that other people dislike you？Do you believe life is full of 12 ？
你认为你的数学差吗？你认为其他人不喜欢你吗？你认为生活充满了困难吗？
problems 困难 这里在讲负面的想法，其他几个选项都不负面。
Belief is not 13 , however．
信念并不神秘。

It’s nothing but the generalization of a past incident．As a kid, if a dog bit you, you believed all dogs to be 14 ．
它只不过是因为过去的一些经历而产生的。小时候，如果你被一只狗咬过，你会认为所有狗都是危险的。

To change certain behavior, identify the beliefs associated with it．Change those beliefs and a new pattern is 15 created．
要改变某种行为模式，找出与之相关的信念。概念那些想法，一种新的模式自然而然就产生了。
