Unit 4　Pygmalion 阅读理解·组块专练——练速度 (限时：35分钟) .阅读理解 A I learnt about the Pygmalion effect when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawfords 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 on their sites and I learnt from them. Truthfully I dont 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 thats actually completely irrelevant (不相关的) when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site. 1．When did the author learn about the Pygmalion effect?
