In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take
risks, to confront the unknown, and to
accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our
ability to grow. Do we perceive ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more
open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and indecisive? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate,
to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we're slow to adapt to change or that
we're not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.

57. When the author says "a new way of being" (line 2, paragraph 3) he is
referring to ________.
　　[A] a new approach to experiencing the world
　　[B] a new way of taking risks
　　[C] a new method of perceiving ourselves
　　[D] a new system of adaptation to change

要想成长，要想探索新的道路，人们就得乐于冒险，乐于面对未知世界，并敢于接受初次尝试便失败的可能性。我们在尝试新的生存方式时如何看待自己对我们能力的培养是至关重要的。自以为行动敏捷而又好奇吗？如果这样，我们就会去抓住更多机会，更加勇于面对陌生的体验。自以为害羞而优柔寡断吗？那么这种恐惧感便会使我们犹豫不决，行动迟缓，而且在确保安全无虞后才前进一步。自以为适应变化的速度很慢，不够精明，无法应付新挑战吗？那么我们就可能采取消极姿态，或根本不去尝试。

思路解析：词汇题一定要通过上下文找答案，然后将答案代入到原文中一一对应；
      How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow.
   当我们尝试着一种new way of being的时候，我们如何看待自己对于成长的能力而言是必须的；答案往前找，因为后面并列的几个Do we  都是在讲如何看待自己的问题。
      In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks,    to confront the       unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first.
      为了成长，为了走一些新的路，我们需要：愿意接受挑战，愿意面对未知，愿意接受一开始就失败的可能性；
      因此可知：接受挑战，
                           面对未知，
                           接受一开始就失败的可能性；
                     就是 a new way of being;
         正确的选项就应该是能概括以上三点的选项；
选项分析：[A] a new approach to experiencing the world
            新的体验世界的方法。可以概括，为正确选项
　　    [B] a new way of taking risks
      只谈到挑战，不能概括
　　    [C] a new method of perceiving ourselves
      不能概括，且是视觉干扰
　　    [D] a new system of adaptation to change
      不能概括，且是视觉干扰
