On a warm Monday, Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees. Rolling down the windows to 　21 in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch. Suddenly she 22 a big bald（秃顶的）man running through the parking lot. Before she came to 　23 what would happen, the man was there, shouting through her window, “Get out!”Neilson 　24 .

Pulling open her door, the man seized her 　25 the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground. She screamed, 　26 her purse and the keys.

Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a 　27 , heard the screams and began running.

When they 　28 Neilson’s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was 　29searching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker 30 back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no 　31 for the two athletic men.

Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office to 32 the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes --- used to tie up newspapers.

With his arms 　33 tight behind him, the prisoner looked up and said 　34 , “I hope you guys feel good about yourselves, for you just caught one of the most wanted men.” They 35 him and waited for the police.

Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the 　36 carjacker (劫车者) and suspected murderer, whose 　37 --- but with a full head of hair --- had been recently printed in their own newspaper.

Neilson considers herself lucky 　38 she suffered injuries. She believes the story might have had a 　39 ending if those good people had not come to her aid. “Unfortunately,” she said, “many people would 　40 have done what they did, and that is the real truth.”

How to Be a Winner

　　Sir Steven Redgrave

　　Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

　　“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病). Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it ---the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

　　Karen Pickering

　　Swimming World Champion

 “I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success----you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

　　Kirsten Best

　　Poet & Writer

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool”
