Formal consent for this new type of treatment
41、 was obtained from each patient and the study (conformed to) our institutions guidelines concerning medical ethics (伦理). Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will (1)(eventually) find a way to
42、do it well. The (2)(premier) point is that you must have the will to achieve success.Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any (3)(endeavor) to achieve it. So, instead
43、 of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away.On many occasions, people tend to (4)(bypass) every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get rid of the (5)(handicaps) and achieve their goals.Only

48、n carry the adolescent fears, which may never (4)(recede) , into adulthood. An anxious temperament causes our brains to react forcibly when (5)(exposed) to the stress of sudden awareness of our peers and gradually we become more and more vulnerable. Our brains label the fear of exposure or embarrass
49、ment as highly dangerous. This may result in a(n) (6)(vicious) circle for many years: excessive self-consciousness and inhibition when you feel you are being observed.To cope with the problem, I would like to (7)(challenge) you to strive for increased focus on other people, in place of your (8)(excess
