1 . The psychological aspect of sports is often overlooked. Athletics is 90 percent _________ and 10 percent physical, and mindsets make a huge _________ in competitions.

“The physical aspect of the sport can only take you _________,” said Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Shannon Miller. “The mental aspect has to _________, especially when you’re talking about the best of the best. In the Olympic Games, everyone is talented. Everyone _________ hard. Everyone does the work. What _________ the gold medalists from the silver medalists is simply the mental game.” Many athletes have used the _________ of mental imagery, or visualization, to perform at their best. Research on the brain patterns of _________ found that the patterns activated by lifting heavy weights were activated _________ when they simply imagined lifting and some studies have suggested that mental __________ can be almost as effective as physical training.

Mental imagery about the event __________ on many cognitive (认知的) processes in the brain: motor control, attention, perception, planning, and memory. So the __________ is getting trained for actual performance during visualisation. And it’s been found that mental practices can prepare your brain for success. __________ visualising is more than just thinking about an upcoming event. “During visualisation, the athlete incorporates (整合) all of his __________ into the experience.” sports psychologist Dr JoAnn Dahlkoetter wrote in a blog post on The Huffington Post __________ a speed skater she works with. “She feels her forefoot pushing off the track, she hears her skating splits, and she sees herself racing ahead of the competitors. She experiences all of the elements of her race, for example,before executing (完成) her performance.”

When talking about her _______, she stated that every human body is __________ whether you are a man or a woman. But when the talk was posted online, some Internet bullies wrote __________ comments like “Make me a sandwich” to make her feel __________.

To prove women’s place is far beyond the __________, Mylea and her team pushed on to the South Pole and made it. Holding a plate with a sandwich, Mylea proudly had her photo taken and posted online. She __________ the bullies, “I made you a sandwich. Now __________ 37 days and 600 km to the South Pole, and you can eat it.”

4 . I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was _________ the teddy bears beside her father _________ she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokemon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand. _________,it looked no more than five dollars at most. He was with his father as well, and _________ picking up the Pokemon video games. Each time he showed to his father, his father___________ his head, “No”.

Rather___________, the boy gave up the video games and chose a book of stickers _________. After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokemon video games. She___________picked up one lying on top of the others, and raced down toward the checkout. I picked up my purchases and _________ the girl and her father.

Then, much to the little girl’s __________, the little boy and his father got in line____________ her and me. After the video game was paid for and bagged, the little girl____________ it back to the cashier（收银员）and __________ something to her. The cashier smiled and put the____________ under the counter（柜台）. I was putting things in my bag when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier said, “__________,you ‘re my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!” and she handed the boy the Pokemon game. The boy could only ____________in disbelief. It was, he said, __________ what he had wanted！ The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and____________ smile on that little girl I have ever seen in my life.

I suddenly understood that the world is not __________ into the strong who care and the __________ who are cared for. We each must in turn care and be cared.
