drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. everyone was killed!some people say stories like these are coincidences. others, including some scientists, say that esp is real. from studies of esp, we

two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. people have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measuredthe worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new languageall these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their effortsby contrast (对照) , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the waythe process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have , and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficultiesin this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to acceptin order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at firsthow we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to growdo we see ourselves as quick and curious? if so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiencesdo we think were shy and indecisive? then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt (适应) change or that were not smart enough to deal with a new challengethen we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at allthese feelings of insecurity (不安全) and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and growif we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growingwe become trapped inside a shell of our own making67which of the following can be viewed as the process of
