It seems that the key to winning any contest is in the belief that you can win. This belief is what inspires one to do one’s best. If we have this belief, we work tirelessly to accomplish our goals, and make whatever sacrifices which are necessary. Whether it’s a hot-dog eating contest or a spelling bee, the winners have not just been the ones with the most skills, but those with the greatest desire to win. Much can be said for positive thinking. An entire movement is based on the idea that if you visualize(使具體化) your goals on a daily basis, you will accomplish them, no matter how difficult they may seem. Most life coaches recommend writing down a list of all of your goals on a poster, and then displaying it where you’ll see it every day. This way these goals will become so much a part of your life that you will find yourself driven to accomplish every one of them. The same strategy applies to winning any contest.

Practice is, of course, also part of winning. If you’re not devoted enough to practice, then you have no hope anyway. Don’t take the other contestants for granted. They’re working just as hard as you are, and you have to keep practicing all the way up to the moment of competition if you really want to win.

Finally, show grace in victory. Always be generous in your praise of the other contestants. The positive energy of their good will toward you will carry you to countless additional victories. Be proud in you heart that you worked so hard to accomplish your goals, and that you deserve the reward you’ve just gotten, but accept the reward with a modest and gracious manner.

 

60.What is the most important thing to have in preparation for a contest, according to the passage?

A. A lot of energy.

B. Training from a good coach.

C. Confidence in oneself.

D. Concentration on contestants.

A. dream of being accepted by it every night

B. work tirelessly and make unimaginable sacrifices

C. write down its name where you’ll see it every day

D. prepare and practice day and night

62.A true winner _____.

A. have many goals

B. is very generous

C. wins every spelling bee

D.does not appear proud

63.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. What needed to be a winner.

Janice Fialka showed a new documentary(記錄片)about her cognitively(認知地)disabled son at schools across the country. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, but one comment from a teacher proved to Fialka her family’s investment was a success. “In Baltimore an early childhood teacher came up and said ‘I have to apologize to the family of a 4 year old with Down Syndrome(先天愚型)’” Fialka said. “She said ‘I told them to be more realistic about their dreams for him. Now I have to tell them I’m sorry.’”

The story of Micah Fialka Feldman, a 22 year old Oakland University student, is meant to show parents, educators and the disabled anything is possible. Micah wrote in an essay titled “I wanted to go to college and my dream came true.” A lot of people didn’t think he could go to college, but because family and friends believed in him, he learned how to take public transportation to campus and found teachers who helped him pick the best classes. The title of the film “Through the same door ”came from a day when Micah, who was admitted to a first grade special education program, told his parents he wanted to walk through the same door as the rest of the kids at his school. It led to him becoming the first student with cognitive disabilities in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.

Though he can’t read or write on his own, Micah reached amazing heights with the help of voice recognition computer software.At Berkley High School, Micah won the Social Studies Department Award for civic(公民的)involvement. In 2004 she received the Michigan “Yes, I Can” award  for self advocacy(自強). He finished high school in 2003 with a certificate of attendance, and entered Oakland University through the Transitions Program.
