Some sportsmen can reach great goals__42_ the achievement of an Olympic gold medal while others__43__live up to their promise. What kind of __44_ before a race or other event makes the __45__?
Everyone knows that sportsmen work out to strengthen（加强） their __46_. But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as __47__. Careful study shows that the best sportsmen win __48__ because they think they can win.
Thinking positive(乐观的) thoughts seems to give possibility for __49__ in sports. People who say to themselves over and over, “I know I can do this,” often find they have the __50__ to win. On the other hand, people who think “I can’t win” often __51__.
One procedure（步骤）that helps many sportsmen is creating __52__ in the mind. They are told to think of each __53__ they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful. One skater liked to __54__ a star bursting inside her, __55__ her with energy. Another sportsman who wanted to feel __56__ pictured himself as a __57__ floating(漂浮) in the air.
Next time you want to do something well, try training your __58__ to help you. Perhaps a teacher or other instructor can help you plan your training. If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see __59__ in what you __60__ can do. Positive thinking and picture created in your mind can help you win!

解析
小题1:C Both look strong and fast 是这两个运动员的共同点，空后的句子的意思是，有的成功了，有的失败了，因此前后间为转折关系。
小题1:D B，C有较大干扰性，分析空后的短语我们可以知道，such as 后的中心词是achievement, 它是运动员所要达到的目标(goals)而不是奖牌(medals)和奖励(prizes)。
小题1:B “有的人一生都没有达到自己的愿望。”promise在这里用作名词，意思是“希望、愿望”。
小题1:A从空后的before a race or another event我们可以看出，作者在这里问，在运动或其它项目之前，人们需要作什么准备。
小题1:B the difference在此指代上文的some athletes can reach great goals…及others never
live up to their promise。
小题1:C strengthen the body与下文的strengthening the mind 相对。
小题1:A“然而研究表明增强心理(与增强体力)同等重要。”联系上下文我们可以看出空后省略了as strengthening their bodies。
小题1:C此空较难选出。作者指出，研究表明对运动员来说增强心理与增强体力同等重要，接着他用careful study 进一步说明这个理论。因此说，好的运动员能够赢部分是因为他们认为自己能赢。
小题1:A“朝积极方向思维在运动上能给予成功的可能。”本句承接上段而来。
小题1:B D有较大干扰性。作者在前文指出了运动员增强心理对成功的重要性，在这里他继续解释这一观点——那些认为自己能赢的有赢的优势。advantage在这里的意思是“优势”。
小题1:A本空可以从上一句得到答案依据。
小题1:B从下文Some use pictures that are more fanciful 可得到答案依据。
小题1:A选择本空要与空后的定语从句联系起来，make each move to do sth.意思是“采取一切行动做某事”。本句的意思是“他们被告诉要采取一切可以采取的行动去获胜。”
小题1:B联系上下文，a star bursting inside her 纯属于一种想象(imagination)。
小题1:C星星在她体内迸裂后给她注满了能量。
小题1:A从空后的pictured himself as a 17 (bird) floating in the air 我们可以推知，运动员通过想象一只鸟轻轻滑翔在空中来镇定自己。
小题1:B从空后的floating in the air 得此答案。
小题1:B全文讲的是心理作用(mind)在成功中的重要性。
小题1:A如果你想你做得更好，你会发现在你所能做的事情上会有大的改观。
小题1:B从前文我们知道心理在成功上起一定作用。因此你所想象的事情必须是你确实(really)能做的，这样对你做的事情才能有帮助。

Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also
appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee.In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn"t see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.
The correct object was chosen in seven out of ten tests, suggesting that the dog had worked
out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.
Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its m
ental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It"s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can"t talk back. Still, it wouldn"t hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!

By the end of the day, the two middle-aged women, Joan and I, were exhausted. But Shari didn’t seem tired. That was 37 Shari. 38 she was very busy, I’d seen her give away berries to everyone—parking attendants, mail carriers and hairdressers. “For me?” they would say, bursting into 39 .
40 a“thank you”, Shari took us out for dinner. But there was a 45-munite 41 at her favorite restaurant. “No big 42 . There’s an
other place just up the road,” she said, driving up there. This time we walked right 43 .When th
e waitress came to 44 our drink orders, Shari 45 into her handbag, pulling something out. “ I want you to have these,” she said, 46 the waitress a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries. “ She will love those berries!” I thought. 47 the waitress seemed very surprised instead. She only let out a “
thank you” 48 grabbing the box and rushing into the kitchen. A few minutes later, the waitress returned 49 our iced tea. “ I apologize,” she said. “ My best friend and I had 50 to send each other something every Valentine’s Day. But she 51 last year. I didn’t know how I’d 52 this day without her. Then you handed me that box.”
“ I’m so sorry to hear that,” said Shari. “ It’s not much, but I hope you can 53 them.”
“ Oh, I will,” the waitress said. “ See, every year we 54 sent each other the same thing: a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries bought from our favorite store, The Berry 55 .”

Last year, Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp, a program designed to inspire girls growing up in the country’s Northern Region to dream big, and to support them to pursue those dreams. “We organized this camp because we wanted to let girls know that even if they are struggling with poverty, their lives will not be defined by limitations,” says Dolores Dickson, Camfed Ghana’s Executive Director.
Over the course of five days, the camp led the junior and secondary school students through a range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to them. Dr. Agnes Apusiga, a lecturer from the University of Development Studies, ran the workshop on goal-setting and career choices, describing the universities and training colleges in Ghana that could help them achieve their dreams. Participants then visited the University for Development Studies, where they toured the medical school and science labs. Another highlight was a workshop at the computer lab at Tamale Secondary School. Many of the girls had studied information technology from a book but had never before seen a computer.
“When the girls arrived at camp, they were not ambitious, because they didn’t have any idea what the world held for them,” says Eugenia Ayagiba, Project Officer with Camfed Ghana. “Many had scarcely traveled beyond their own villages.”
“I think the most important thing that happened at the camp is that we opened a window of hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,” says Eugenia. For Rashida, who has been laughed at in the past by her schoolmates because of her father’s disability, the experience was important. “She told one of the camp mentors(辅导员) that when she is at school, she often feels like a misfit, and she prefers to keep to herself,” says Eugenia. “But at the camp, it was different. She made friends with girls who have similar struggles. She took part in every single activity, every single game. On the last day, she said to her mentor, “The camp has challenged me to study hard. Now I see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.”
小题1:How many members are there in Rashida’s family?
| A．Seven | B．Eight | C．Nine | D．Ten |
| A．a program to help poor girls to have ambition |
| B．a program to help poor girl students to get university education |

I shouldn’t have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his stubby little finger, and within a month my regular trucker customers had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot. After that, I really didn"t care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only problem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished.
Over time, we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home.
That"s why the restaurant was a gloomy place that morning last August, the first morning in three years that Stevie missed work. He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a heart surgery. His social worker said that people with Downs Syndrome often had heart problems at an early age and there was a good chance he would come through the surgery in good shape and be back at work in a few months.
A ripple of excitement ran through the staff later that morning when word came that he was out of surgery, in recovery, and doing fine. Frannie, my head waitress, did a little dance when she heard the good news. Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at her and asked, “Okay, Frannie, what was that all about?”
"We just got word that Stevie is out of surgery and going to be okay."
"I was wondering where he was. I had a new joke to tell him. What was the surgery about?"
Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers sitting at his booth about Stevie"s surgery, then sighed: "Yeah, I"m glad he is going to be OK," she said. "But I don"t know how he and his Mom are going to handle all the bills. From what I hear, they"re barely getting by as it is."
Belle Ringer nodded thoughtfully, and Frannie hurried off to wait on the rest of her tables.
After the morning rush, Frannie walked into my office. She had a couple of paper napkins in her hand.
"What"s up?" I asked.
“I cleared off that table where Belle Ringer and his friends were sitting after they left, and I found this. This was folded and tucked under a coffee cup."
She handed the napkin to me, and three $20 bills fell onto my desk when I opened it. On the outside, in big, bold letters, was printed "Something For Stevie".
That was three months ago. Today is New Year’s day , the first day Stevie is supposed to be back to work. His placement worker said he had been counting the days until the doctor said he could work, I arranged to have his mother bring him to work, met them in the parking lot and invited them both to celebrate his day back. I took him and his mother by their arms. “To celebrate you coming back, breakfast for you and your mother is on me.”
I led them toward a large corner booth. I could feel and hear truck customers and the rest of the staff following behind as we marched through the dining room. We stopped in front of the big table. Its surface was covered with coffee cups and dinner plates, all sitting slightly on dozens of folded paper napkins.
"First thing you have to do, Stevie, is clean up this mess," I said.
Stevie looked at me, and then pulled out one of the napkins. It had "Something for Stevie" printed on the outside. As he picked it up, two $10 bills fell onto the table. Stevie stared at the money, then at all the napkins peeking from beneath the tableware, each with his name printed on it.
I turned to his mother. “There"s more than $10,000 in cash and checks on that table, all from truckers and trucking companies that heard about your problems. Happy Thanksgiving!”
While everybody else was busy shaking hands and hugging each other, Stevie, with a big, big smile on his face, was busy clearing all the cups and dishes from the table.

Arthur Bonnet works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back thanks to him. But years ago if you"d told him this was what he"d be doing someday, he would have laughed, "You"re crazy." As a boy, he used to be a little tough guy on the streets". At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.
"I knew it had hurt my mom," Bonner said after he got out of prison. "So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again."
One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called E1 Segundo blue.
"I saw the sign "Butterfly Habitat" and asked, "How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?"" Bonner recalls. "Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜) , "Look at the leaves. " I could see all these caterpillars (蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, "Without the plant, there are no butterflies. ""
Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he"s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragals, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.
The butterfly"s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonnet, he earned something more: he turned his life around.
For six years now Bonnet has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he’s bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.
