12、??? I learnt about the Pygmalion Effect(皮格马利翁效应)when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawford’s answers in a spelling test.Before that I was average at school but after that,because Melissa Crawford was smart,and I got all the right answers,I got put in all the smart kids groups.From then I did really well at school because it was believed by the teachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids.This experience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important the Pygmalion Effect is in terms of being around mentors(导师)that expect that you’re going to do well and also being around people who are smart.
??? The Pygmalion Effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast.Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around,copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.
??? Yesterday this site had over 5,000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time.A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic in their sites and I learnt from them.Truthfully,I don’t know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but I imagined they did so they might as well have.
??? So there you have it,the Pygmalion Effect.
??? P.S.My grammar and spelling are not that great nowadays but that’s actually completely irrelevant(不相关的)when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.

14答案及解析:
答案:strength; Born; which; them; had won; but; have been caused; the; service; after
解析:

2.?Born结合语境可知,主语Muhammad Ali和bear是逻辑上的动宾关系,故此处应用过去分词作状语。
3.?which分析句子结构可知,本句为“介词+关系代词” 引导的定语从句,由于先行词是years,故填which。
4.?them根据句意可知,所填词指代前面提到的fights,故填them。
5.?had won 根据时间状语 By the end of his boxing career 可知,这里指的是到过去某个时间为止已经完成的动作,故用过去完成时。
6.?but分析句子结构可知,此处是not... but...结构,故填 but。

答案:??? Today was Women's Day. Zhang Wei had a good idea and told his father that he? going to do something to make his mother . Firstly, they decided to do some , which was always done by his mother.

When his mother came back and saw the delicious food on the table, she was felt very curious and happy.
解析:
1.?根据前面的told可知,这里应该用一般过去时。
2.?make为使役动词,后面跟形容词作宾补。
3.?housework是不可数名词,没有复数形式。
4.?complete是形容词,修饰动词cleaned要用副词形式。
5.?meal是可数名词,此处表示泛指,所以前面用不定冠词a。
6.?此处表示“鱼、鸡、汤和其他一些美味菜肴”,故用and表示并列。
7.?fill和a vase是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作定语,表示被动和完成。
8.?此处表示“他们把自己藏在了门的后面”,所以应用反身代词。
9.?wait和they是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词作伴随状语,表示主动和进行。
10.?feel是系动词,没有被动语态,且与主语she是主谓关系,没有被动含义,所以去掉was。
