Ｗｅ　all have ｐrｏbｌｅｍs and ｂarrｉｅrs tｈat bｌocｋ　our　ｐｒoｇrｅss, or ｐrｅvenｔ uｓ fｒoｍ moｖing ｉnto new ａｒｅas.　Our　prｏblems mighｔ incluｄe the　feａr of　ｓpeaking ｉn front oｆ a groｕp， ａnｘiety abｏuｔ　math probｌems, or ｔhe　ｒelｕcｔancｅ ｔo sound sｉlly tｒying ｔo speａｋ a ｆorｅｉgｎ lanｇuage. Ｉt's ｎatural　to　haｖe pｒｏbｌemｓ aｎｄ barriers, but someｔｉmes tｈey liｍit ｏur eｘpeｒiencｅ ｓo much, ｗe　gｅt　bｏreｄ　ｗｉth life．　When ｔhat　happens, cｏnsider thｅ follｏｗiｎｇ thrｅｅ　waｙs　oｆ　dｅalｉｎg wｉth the ｐroｂlｅm oｒ baｒrier．
Oｎｅ ｗａy is to prｅtend iｔ doesn＇t exist.　Avoiｄ it,　deny　ｉt， and lie about ｉt. It's liｋｅ turning　yｏuｒ ｈｅad　thｅ　oｔhｅr ｗａy， putｔiｎｇ on a fａｋe gｒｉn， and ｓaying, ＂Ｓee, there'ｓ rｅallｙ　no pｒoblem ａt ａｌl. Eｖerythｉng　iｓ ｆinｅ.＂
Ｉn addition tｏ ｌoｏｋiｎg foｏliｓｈ， this aｐｐｒoaｃh leａves ｔhe barrier intacｔ,　anｄ　ｗe　kｅep bｕmpｉng intｏ ｉｔ. So, a　secｏｎd approaｃh is　to fight ｔｈe ｂarrｉer, to ｓtrｕgglｅ agaｉｎst iｔ．　This ｕsuａlｌｙ makes tｈe bａrｒiｅr ｇｒｏw. It ｉncreaｓes　the barrier's ｍaｇｎiｔuｄe． Ａ pｅrson　who is　ｏbsｅｓｓeｄ　ｗith ｗeiｇht　migｈt　ｃoｎstantly worrｙ　aboｕt beｉnｇ fat.　He mｉght　strugglｅ wｉth it everｙ daｙ，　trｙing ｄｉet　ａｆter dieｔ．　Ａnd ｔhe more hｅ　stｒuggleｓ， the ｂigｇeｒ　the prｏblem ｇｅts.
The ｔhird　alｔernａｔivｅ　is　to ｌovｅ ｔhe ｂａrｒiｅr. Aｃｃeｐｔ it. Totalｌｙ eｘperｉｅnce it. Ｔｅll thｅ trutｈ　abｏｕt　it． Dｅｓcriｂe it ｉn detaiｌ.
Appｌｙｉｎg ｔhis pｒｏｃess iｓ　easier iｆ　yｏu reｍeｍber　two idｅaｓ． First,　ｌｏving a　problem　ｉs ｎot necessarily　the sａme ａs enｊｏyiｎg ｉt. Lｏve ｉn　thｉs　seｎsｅ　meａｎs totａl ａnd unconditiｏnaｌ accepｔaｎcｅ. Ｓecond, uｎｃonｄｉｔionａl acｃepｔance is not　tｈe ｓamｅ　ａs ｕnｃondｉｔionaｌ　surｒｅnｄer． Acceptiｎg　a problem iｓ ｄiffｅrent than givｉng　up or ｅscaｐing frｏｍ ｉt． Rather, this ｐroｃess involves escａｐｉnｇ into ｔhｅ　ｐroblem, diviｎg　intｏ it ｈeadfirst， ａnd geｔting to ｋnow　it in　deｔail.
Ｏfｔeｎ the most ｅｆｆectivｅ ｓｏlutions come,　when we faｃｅ a proｂlｅｍ ｓquarｅly， with eyes　widｅ ｏｐen, then ｗe ｃａｎ　move throｕgh the ｐroblｅm,　instｅad ｏｆ　aｒound　iｔ. When　you　are　willｉng　tｏ　love yoｕr problｅms，　ｙｏu ｄrａin ｔheｍ of　mｕch ｏf ｔｈｅir enｅrgy．

【评析】
本段听力讲述旳是男同学周一没有去上课,来问询女同学老师给出旳期末论文题目是什么。碰巧老师给出旳是４个话题以供挑选,女同学没有记下所有旳话题，只是凭 记忆讲述了两个话题给男同学听。男同学在已知旳话题中倾向于写“ｔｈe idea oｆ　prｏgｒeｓs　ｉｎ tｈe 19ｔh centuｒｙ”,由于他喜欢这方面知识，并且之前也有阅读。问题都是常见细节题，波及所给话题数目、话题告知方式等，难度不大,只要认真听不难得出答 案。
