Harold had worked in an electrical company for over 40 years. He was ready to 36 soon. His wife Martha, 37 , was less enthusiastic. As she explained to a friend, “Harold has never done anything that 38 physical effort. He never played golf, mowed the lawn (修整草坪) or even washed the windows. 39 he retires, he will sit in his easy chair and 40 me to bring him his food.”
But to Martha’s 41 , soon after he retired Harold joined a health club. And one night, when he arrived home from exercise class, he announced, “I 42 for the wrestling tournament (联赛). I am going to 43 on Friday night.”
Martha was shocked. “Please don’t do it. Harold,” she begged. “ You’re not in 44 . You will be so beaten up that they will have to 45 you home!” However, he couldn’t be 46 and she told him that if he went through with his “lame idea”, she was not going to 47 .
She stayed away that Friday evening as Harold wrestled. Then about 10:00 p.m., just as she predicted, two men 48 carried Harold home. He lay down on the couch, aches and pains. Before she could speak, he 49 , “Don’t say a word, Martha! This is not the worst of it. I 50 tonight. I have to wrestle again tomorrow night!”
Harold worked hard for his 51 , but he may not have been ready to succeed! He proved, however, that when you combine 52 with the belief that you can do a certain thing, very great results will often follow.
In fact, I believe Harold may have even 53 himself. As Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “People become really quite 54 when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first 55 of success.”

The researcher organized an experimental tournament(联赛；锦标赛)including four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.
Observers noted down the referees' errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted(转变)to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkable high number.
The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average,17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum(合适的)distance is about 20 meters.
There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues. He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical(关键).
1．The findings of the experiment show that ________.
A. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball
B. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors
C. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will ?errors occur
D. errors are less likely when a referee staying in one spot
2．The underlined word “officials” most probably refers to ________.
A. the researchers involved in the experiment
B. the inspectors of the football tournament
C. the referees of the football tournament
D. the observers at the site of the experiment
3．What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?
A. The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.
B. Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.
C. A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.
D. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.
