[46~48] 다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.  

 

                                              (A)

Sometimes, someone saying you can't do something is good for you. It builds mental toughness and conviction. I often tell people, "Anyone with young children will tell you, if you ask them not to do something, they're guaranteed to do it." The following story is an example of how my dad used this to (a) his (and ultimately my) advantage.

 

                                              (B)

I was so annoyed and upset by (b) his response that I worked tirelessly for the remainder of the school year. In those critical few months I worked so hard that I ended up winning three awards at the end of prize-giving. The best part was being able to tell my dad that I'd been awarded a place at college. on hearing this news, he simply lowered his newspaper and, with a smile, said, "Well done, I always knew you would." At that moment, I realized what (c) he had done by 'discouraging' me.

 

                                             (C)

This was my first experience of 'reverse psychology.' Some people might say it's a risky strategy, but it has certainly worked for me. It has been exremely valuable in my life, giving me the confidence, determination and motivation to succeed, even when the odds are stacked against me. Now as a father myself, I sometimes use the same technique to motivate my own son. Often enough, he ends up with favorable results. I just hope one day (d) he also realizes that I had his best interests in mind.   

 

                                             (D)

As a child I wasn't particularly academic or ambitious, and certainly didn't work very hard at my studies. It wasn't until I was coming to the end of the eleventh grade---and facing the prospect of leaving school without any sense of what I wanted to do as a career---that I decided to apply to the local college to pursue further study. Feeling pleased with myself for having made this monumental decision, I proudly announced my plan to my dad. (e) His immediate reaction was to say, "You'll never do that. They'll never accept you."
