No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners through 1 .
I learned this lesson from an experience many years ago. I took the head 2 job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.
It was a tradition for the school's old team to play against the 3 team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even practice to 4 the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, 5 to my disappointment we were beaten. I couldn't believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to realize that my dream 6 not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were depending on me. I had to change my 7 about their ability and potential.
I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. Most important, I began to treat them like winners. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed 8 holidays, we met every day and practised passing and kicking football.
Six months 9 suffering our defeat on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. Finally, we faced the number 10 team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us 11 we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest thrills my life!
From the experience I learnt a lot about 12 the attitude（态度） of the leader can affect the members of the team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves 13 ，and they built themselves into 14 . Winners are made, not 15 .
One day I was doing some shopping when a man, who was untidy and spent most of the time talking to no one, walked toward a group of us at the checkout stand(收银台). I heard him saying to the man in front of me, "I don't want to steal from the store. And would you buy me some food?"
The man in front of me didn't answer him. I waited patiently for my turn to be questioned, but it never came. So I asked him, "Can I buy you something to eat?"
He gladly accepted. The man got a bag and began putting some sandwiches in the bag. As I was waiting, I watched the man put the sandwiches into the bag: 1, 2, 3... He finally stopped and I asked him how many he had got and he answered 10.
The cashier(收银员) looked at me in surprise and then added them to my order. At that moment, the man was moving around the store and he said he wanted something to drink too. The cashier seemed to be keeping a close eye on him, as she didn't want him to steal anything! I told the cashier that if he got a drink, I'd pay for it.
In the end, when we were leaving the store, he stood right outside holding the sandwiches and said to me, "Thank you!"
This man's situation made me sad. In fact, if we care a little more about the homeless, they can live happier lives. And then, our society will become more harmonious and beautiful. Thinking about this, I hope to run into him again some day. Maybe we can sit down and have lunch together.
One day, in a place with many people, a young man wearing expensive clothes said politely, "Please look at me. I have the most beautiful heart in the world."
Many people looked at him and were surprised to see his beautiful heart in a perfect shape. It looked quite amazing. Most people praised him.
However, there came an old man and he said, "No, my son, I have got the most beautiful heart in the world!" The old man showed his heart to him which had scars(伤痕) all over.
The young man started laughing, and said, "My dear old man, are you crazy? See, my heart! How beautiful it is! You cannot find a bit of imperfection(不完美) in my heart. See, yours? It is full of scars. How can you say your heart is beautiful?"
"Dear boy, did you see the scars? I share a piece of my heart with others when I share love, and in return I get a piece of heart, which I fix at the place from where I have torn(撕) a piece!" said the old man.
The young man was surprised. The old man continued, "since the pieces of heart I shared were not the same shape or size, my heart is full of scars. Your heart that looks fresh with no scars shows that you never shared love with anybody. Isn't that true?"
The young man stood still and didn't say a word. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
I strongly believe that we can have an important effect on anyone we meet. The right words at just the right time could totally change someone's life. That's what happened to me years ago.
When I was a 3-year-old boy, my parents discovered I was totally deaf. After asking many doctors, educational specialists and parents of other deaf children, they decided to put me in a mainstream school. All of my classmates and teachers would have normal（正常的）hearing.
From the time I started going there in the third grade, I was the only deaf child at Blue Creek Elementary School in the small town of Latham, New York. From almost the first day there, the other kids made fun of me and called me names mainly because of my hearing aid and the way I talked.
I worried throughout Elementary school because, except the problems of "fitting in" with the other students, I also struggled with most of my schoolwork.
Although I seemed outgoing, my self-esteem(自尊心)was quite low. I saw myself as an ugly kid wearing a weird-looking box around his neck who wasn't even smart enough to keep up with the other kids.
Mrs. Jordan, my fifth-grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase. Mrs. Jordan was a large woman with a voice that bounced(反弹)off the walls of her tiny classroom. One morning, she asked the class a question.
I read her lips(嘴唇)and immediately raised my hand. For once I knew the answer. But, when she called on me, I was afraid. I took a deep breath, stood up slowly and answered Mrs. Jordan's question in a low voice.
I will never forget what happened next.
Mrs. Jordan pointed directly at me. With shining eyes and a wide smile she cried: "That's right, Stephen!"
For the first time in my life, I was an instant star. My confidence soared like never before.
I decided right then and there that I would make a place for myself in this world. No matter how many difficulties I might meet in life, I knew I could overcome them. A simple three-word phrase delivered with incredible enthusiasm had totally changed my young life. "That's right, Stephen!"
a. He made up his mind to change.
b. He was sent to a school in a small town.
c. He had a hard time in the first year.
d. Mrs. Jordan praised him with three words.
Recently, many people think it's risky to use credit (信用) card numbers online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords and ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that may not be true! A new kind of attack (攻击) is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from web surfers. This new kind of attack is called "phishing".
Phishing sounds the same as the word "fishing", and it means that a thief is trying to trick people into giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait (诱饵) in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use false emails and websites to trick people into revealing (透露) credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate (模仿) well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phishers may make as many as 5% of the people believe and give away their personal information.
It's really a big problem! Actually, tricking 5% of the online population is huge. Now more than 4.6 billion people have access (进入权) to the Internet, and 75% of those Internet users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been reported that phishers send more than 40 billion false messages each year. Even by tricking only 5% of the people, phishers can make a lot of money.
Amy, 18, from California, received an email. A man told Amy that she could get a million dollars in her account as a reward if she sent a thousand dollars to him. Amy did as the man said at once. The "thief" used Amy's Social Security number to get credit cards in her name and transferred her money.
How can people avoid being cheated online? Above all, they have to learn to recognize the email that has been sent by a phisher. Always be careful with any email with urgent (紧急的) requests for personal information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but false, statements in their emails so that people will reply right away. Never give out personal information to phishers. And if an offer sounds too good to be true, it is.
Dr Livesey was not at home. He was dining with Squire Trelawney, so we rode on to the Hall, where the squire lived. The two men were sitting in a great library next to a bright fire.
The officer told the story. The two men listened with surprise and interest. The officer then left. I gave the papers to the doctor and they asked me to stay and eat something after my adventure.
‘Have you heard of Flint?' Dr Livesey asked the squire.
‘Yes, I have!' the squire replied. ‘He was one of the most dangerous pirates that ever sailed the seas. He only cared about money and everyone was afraid of him. No one knows where he buried his treasure.'
‘Maybe these papers give a clue,' said the doctor. And we opened the captain's papers. Inside there was a detailed map. It showed an island, about nine miles long and five across. It had two good natural harbors and a hill in the center, marked Spy-glass Hill. There were three crosses in red, two in the northern part and one in the south-west. Beside the last cross were the words: Most of treasure here.
On the back of the map was this information:
The treasure is by a tall tree. Spy-glass Hill is behind you to the north, Skeleton Island is below you to the south-east. The silver is in the north-east and the guns are in the north-west.
John Flint
Both the squire and Dr Livesey were very excited.

In the USA, one name has come to mean good manners —— Emily Post (1872-1960). Emily Post was born in Maryland, but m to New York when she was still a child. In 1904, she began to write books and articles for magazines. She wrote Etiquette (about good manners) in 1922. Her book was very s. Soon she had her own radio programme and began to write weekly newspaper articles on good manners. Her newspaper articles also became very popular, and she continued to write them u she died.
To Emily Post, good manners can be learnt. H, our character is also important because the way we behave towards others shows our personality. While we can learn rules for how to b, we should also learn to become better people. Good manners come easier to good people.
Emily Post was full of advice on how to behave in nearly every s. However, her best advice was to be y. For example, many people want to fit into high society by c the way they speak. They might use difficult words when easy words will do. However, this does not cause them to fit it. I, it often just makes them seem strange. While we should all have good manners, we should never try to be like someone e.
