Every parent wants their child to grow up to enjoy life and successful．Each and every one of us has something that we don’t want our children to experience as they get older．We protect them hoping they will never experience hurt, yet as they get older they come across their own struggles.

We often do everything we can to keep them from making the mistakes that we have made．Your children are not you．They are incredible little beings that choose you to experience life with．They are not little “mini me’s” that will make the same mistakes we have made or learn the way we learn from our own experiences．They go to school , have experiences that they only tell us about, and understand the experiences through their own thoughts and feelings mixed in with family behavioral patterns．This is where you can make a difference. Be an example．

Teach your child how to live life by being the person you would want them to be―helping others, loving yourself and making no judgments about other people．As you learn this in your own self and apply it, your child won’t need you to speak a word．If little Joannie doesn’t want to share with another child, show them how to share．Show by example．

If you don’t want others to walk all over you, treat others as you want to be treated because there is a child learning behaviors from you．Be the example of what you want your child to be through your own positive thoughts and feelings．It is the best thing you can do for your child and yourself to ensure your child feel accepted and loved as they get older.

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 believe 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(心理的) tool.”

And so it’s over for another four years ．We are lucky: from the English Premier League to Wimbledon and the football World Cup, we have enough sport to entertain us all year round until 2012.

But what about the Olympic athletes once the Games finish? Of course , the famous such as Michael Phelps and Liu Xiang haven’t finished competing yet , and can live off their fame until the London Games．Yao Ming had a disappointing time in Beijing , but at least he can carry on playing basketball and earning money and glory with the Houston Rockets．The professional sportsmen and women who compete in the Olympics such as footballers or tennis players go back to their day jobs, earning millions．

Not all former Olympic athletes are so lucky．Some nations have started to reward successful Olympians with cash, but retired athletes still have to go on and find something else to do once the Games are over．What do they do to earn a living , or to satisfy their competitive nature?

A billion people around the globe watch the Olympics and athletes and land a job by simply having a recognizable face．Acting is one employment opportunity．

It is disappointing to see healthy athletes promoting the unhealthiest of food and drink．One other career move for Olympians is to go into politics．Actors have done it, so why not athletes? Politicians certainly love successful sportspeople．But as British cyclist Chris Hoy has shown, Olympic gold medalists don’t always love being used by politicians , who try to steal some of their fame and glory．

60．Who will have the greatest difficulty in making money after the Olympics?

　 　 A．Michael Phelps． 　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．Yao Ming ．　

　　　 C．The professional athletes．　 　　　 D．Retired athletes.

61．According to the passage, why can former athletes work as actors or actresses ?

　 　 A．Because they are really better than other actors at acting.

　 　 B．Because of their familiar faces.

　 　 C．Because acting is their favourite profession.

　 　 D．Because they have no choice but to accept their fate．

62．The author thinks that　 　　　　　　.

　 　 A．athletes can become politicians　　　　　

　　　 B．athletes shouldn’t go into politics

　 　 C．athletes are thought to become better politicians

　 　 D．athletes’ fame and glory stop them improving themselves

63．What is the best title for passage?

　 　 A．Introduction to Olympics　　　　　　

　　　 B．Introduction to Olympic athletes

　 　 C．Olympic athletes’ future life　　　　　

　　　 D．How to protect Olympic athletes’ fame and glory
