As a young girl growing up in rural Alabama, I never understood why my mom spent so much time baking. And she always made my brother and me   36  her. A whole day every other week was devoted to making bread. It always made our small arms tired.
Despite our best efforts, the flour dust always went everywhere. I   37  to be outside with my playmates, and never   38  my mom’s desire for quality family time with her children, at least when it came to spending it in the   39 . Years have gone by, and I have become a mother myself. I prefer to leave most of the cooking to my husband and he loves it. He’s quite   40  at doing it, too.
On one occasion my husband was   41  dinner, and I was at the kitchen table going through the day’s mail when our little son, Cody, asked if he could help   42 . My husband said yes, and I sat there amused, watching them.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Helping dad cook.” he replied with a big   43  on his face. I thought back to those   44  when my mom asked me to help her bake bread, and I was   45 , but obeyed. Per­haps she was trying to create something more than just fresh bread­—maybe a few lasting   46 .
As I watched Cody do it with all his attention, I realized that he had   47  a lasting moment for me, a moment filled with a deep sense of family. I wanted to hold the moment and make it longer, and appreciate the memories my mom had given me years ago in her kitchen.

My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he   36  from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months   37  it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收縮). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch   38  on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton,   39  will pay any more attention to your scar   40  you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother   41 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head  42  high — glad he was alive.
  43 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better,   44  you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer   45 .
But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your   46 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false   47 .
One of my friends in college was very   48 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his   49   for about 10 seconds. This man felt   50  about himself and spent most of his time   51  about other people’s comfort and welfare(幸福).   52 , people ignored his looks. What people   53  was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.
Therefore, concentrate on what you value   54  yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same   55 .

The mental aspect of athletics is underrated. The common expression, “athletics are 90 percent ____ and 10 percent physical,” is often used by coaches, and stresses that mindsets make a huge ____ in competitions.
“The physical aspect of the sport can only take you ____ ,” said Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Shannon Miller during an interview with the Dana Foundation. “The mental aspect has to ____ , especially when you’re talking about the best of the best.

Many athletes have used the technique of mental imagery, or ____ , to perform at their best. Research on the brain patterns of ____ found that the patterns activated when a weightlifter lifted heavy weights were activated ____ when they simply imagined lifting and some studies have suggested that mental ____ can be almost as effective as physical training. One study, published in the Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology in 1996, found that ____ weight lifting caused ____ changes in muscle activity.
“Mental imagery ____ many cognitive (認知的) processes in the brain: motor control, attention, perception, planning, and memory,” researcher Angie LeVan wrote in Psychology Today. “So the ____ is getting trained for actual performance during visualization. It’s been found that mental practices can enhance motivation, increase confidence, improve motor performance and ____ your brain for success.”
____ visualizing is more than just thinking about an upcoming event. ____ athletes use visualization, they truly feel the event taking place in their mind’s eye.
“During visualization, she incorporates (整合) all of her ____ into the experience,” sports psychologist Dr JoAnn Dahlkoetter wrote in a blog post on The Huffington Post ____ a speed skater she works with. “She feels her forefoot pushing off the track, she hears her skating splits, and she sees herself racing ahead of the competitors.

The western world has always been divided into two types of people—the cool and the uncool. It is a   11   that starts in school. The cool kids are good at sports. They are popular with the opposite sex. They are good-looking and people want to   12    their style. They can do their homework but they don’t make a big effort. That would not be cool.
The    13    kids are in the other corner of the playground. They are very bright, but they don’t have great    14   skills, not popular with the opposite sex and they are    15   at sports.

But there are also    24  . Geeks were often bullied (欺侮) or laughed at in school. Now a geek may be your    25  . Perhaps it is time for punishment.
