Liu Yue, a _________ from Chengdu Yucai Middle School, gave her students a useful tool. “It’s called the Johari Window, developed by two US psychologists (心理学家),” said Liu. “It has _________ areas (区域) about one’s self: open area (that everyone knows about), hidden (隐藏) area (that only you know), blind spot (盲区) (that everyone knows but you)   _________ unknown area (that nobody knows). Using this tool, students did a good job seeing themselves through a new lens (透镜).”

“I want to know more about my blind spot,” said an eighth-grader Yang Manfei. “_________ I did a survey with my friends.” The results showed that Yang easily gets anxious (焦虑的) and impatient because of procrastination (拖延). “That’s a bad habit but I didn’t see that before!” Yang said.

“Show yourself and make yourself better,” Li said.
