请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
Life is what we make of it. How can we make our life better？Through focus—focusing on one thing and getting it done. Learning to focus can help us in many ways. It can help us realize what we really want in life. It can help us make good decisions. It can also help us accept ourselves just the way we are. Focus can help us gain power and happiness.
Focus，or concentration，is a skill that can be taught，so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus. Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone. Once you learn how to block out your surroundings，your focus will improve.
Learn to manage your pressure. Many athletes require intense focus in their training and games. They try to spare some time to calm themselves down. It isn’t enough to just practice your shots because when game time comes，the stress and tension can make one miss a shot. This is when focus comes into play.
Another mind exercise you can do is picturing yourself in a desired situation，and then you work around your picture. Actors do this a lot to block out laughter or noise. An example of this would be to imagine yourself in a potentially stressful situation，like a singer in a concert. Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different things are to happen. This can actually be a lot of fun，and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only.
If this sounds a little strange to you，you could try another strategy. Why not make lists？Make a list of the things you need to accomplish. Study your lists carefully and see where you can move things around. Planning helps you focus. It will also not stress you out.
A better way to improve your focus is to take breaks. Don’t spend it with your co?workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office. Doing this will actually cause your stress and cause you to lose focus on the things that need to be done. Your breaks should be as quiet as possible. Read a book or take a walk. Go and do something that will give your brain a rest.
The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds. Of course，it could also because you are bored with nothing to do. A good balance between a too relaxed brain and a too active brain is necessary. Find your ability to work，and try not to waste your time. Improving your focus also mean knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well.

Sam Berns wasn’t like any other boy. He was 17 and he had an aging disease known as progeria.
“Even though I have many difficulties in my life, I don’t want people to feel bad for me,” Sam said during a TED talk.
Progeria affects approximately one in every 4 million to 8 million newborns. Right now, there are only about 200 children living with it worldwide. The genetic(基因的) change tied to it causes those with the disease to produce the protein progerin, which blocks normal cell function.
His view on life is extremely inspiring. He had to face challenges no one else could even dream of. As children with progeria age rapidly, they suffer from a loss of body fat and hair and an inability to gain weight. That didn’t keep Sam down, though.
“All in all, I don’t waste energy feeling bad for myself,” Sam said. “I surround myself with people that I want to be with. And I keep moving forward.”
This boy from Boston was so amazing, famous people and athletes wanted to take him under their own. Last Saturday night could have been an amazing moment for Sam. One of his favorite teams, the New England Patriots, wanted to make him their honorary captain during a playoff game.
Instead, it just was’t meant to be. Sam passed away before he had a chance to stand next to his team, so they held a moment of silence before the game for him.
Sam’s unbelievable view on life, and his deep effect on others, is hard to forget. He was presented with so many challenges in life but he wasn’t afraid to face them. Be more like Sam, this wonderful teen. Surround yourself with positive people, love them and move forward.
1.We can infer from the passage that Sam Berns was ________.
A. very fat B. very thin
C. good-looking D. young-looking
2.According to the passage, Sam Berns was a boy ________.
A. of great intelligence
