25、 _41_ such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal. Others may never live up to their promises.

But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as _
26、45_. Careful study indicates that the best athletes win _46_ because they think they can win. Thinking positive thoughts seems to give possibility for _47_ in sports.

27、ten fail, who think, “I cant win.”One procedure that helps many athletes is creating _49_ in the mind. They are told to think of each _50_ they must make to win.

From all over the nation, thousands of young men set out for California. People called this the time of the Gold Rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a
33、 pair of pants. He wanted the pants strong enough to stand up to the hard work of mining. He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to send him so
34、me strong blue cotton cloth called denim（厚粗的斜纹棉布）. With the blue denim cloth, Levi started to make the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the same way as other pants.In 1860, a miner said that the pockets werent strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found. The pocket
35、s kept pulling loose from the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasnt strong enough. So Levi used rivets to fasten the pockets onto the pants.56.

The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by o
38、utside the bus “Buy super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It Now!”The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve
39、 traveled that way before. Usually some things have changednew houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspens
40、e story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of w
41、hat kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you

46、spoken English. We do not normally put them in a composition or letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples: Once bitten, twice shy. If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many t
47、hings and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one bird than to see two birds in a bush but not be able to catch them. Thus this means
48、that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future. Too many cooks spoil the soup. When too many people do something, they get in each others way. To pour oil on troubled waters is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship

Dont be a dog in the manger（马槽） means Dont be selfish. In a stable（马厩）, the manger is the place where the horses food i

Hes sitting on the fence means that somebody will not say whether he is in favour of a plan or against it. He is sitti
51、ng on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.He who pays the piper calls the tune. A piper is a musician.

52、t will be carried out.You cant get blood out of a stone means that you cannot get, something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. For example, you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man. 63. Peter had a bicycle which was much too small for him but he did not want to let hi

Were usually t
60、oo embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This self-talk helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down.

62、should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others.

63、 effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? 70_Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer ho
64、pe, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.IV.
