阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。A volleyball player at the college where I worked recently stopped by my office. After making a few mistakes during weekend match, she was very sad. She told me, "I think I'm good at it, and I practice hard. How is this happening?" This student believes she should be able to control the effects of her life through her hard work. I am noticing a trouble increase in students like this athlete. They believe that when they win, they feel powerful and smart.We often talk about young adults fighting with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there are some other facts at play here, parents sometimes falsely promise their children that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.Psychologists (心理学家) think that students have used the mindset (心态) wrongly. They find that praising children's effort will increase their performance in schools. But a 2018 research found that although praising effort over ability may benefit disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone. For some of them, the big problem is that it's not good when the wish for the achievement is over the top. Adults should help students understand what success means in healthier ways. At Smith College where I teach, students are asked to explore how challenges made them stronger or more effective. The point is not to tell our kids not to make efforts or try their best. But imagining that they can control everything is not really resilience (适应力) . We would be wise to remind them that something unexpected always happens in our lives.
