Positive thinking can help you win
Some athletes can reach great goals such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal, w 81 others never live up to their promise. What kind of preparation before a race or other event makes the difference?
Everyone knows that athletes spare no e 82 to strengthen their bodies. But researches show that strengthening the mind may be just as important. Careful study indicates that the best athletes win p 83 because they think they can win.
Thinking positive thoughts seems to give the possibility for success in sports. People who say to t 84 over and over “I know I can do this.” often find they have the advantage to win. On the other hand, people often f 85 who think “I can’t win”.
One procedure that helps many athletes is creating pictures in the mind. They are told to think of each move they must do. Some use more fanciful pictures. One skater liked to imagine a star bursting inside her, filling her with energy. A 86 athlete who wanted to feel calm pictured himself as a bird floating in the air.
Next time you want to make progress, try t 87 your mind to help you. Perhaps a teacher or other instructors can help you make the plan. If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see improvement in what you really can do. Positive thinking and pictures created in your mind can help you win.

87. training
【分析】
由填空前一句Some athletes can reach great goals such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal和后一句others never live up to their promise可知,填空处表达转折关系,while意为然而,表示转折,符合语境。
此处考查固定搭配,spare no effort根据句意表示运动员不遗余力的加强身体。
由填空处前文和下文Careful study indicates that the best athletes win, because they think they can win可知,此处表示最佳运动员赢奖win prizes。
根据整个句意理解,结合固搭搭配用法say to themselves表示哪些常对他们自己反复说“我能赢”的人都会觉得自己有优势。
根据填空处前一句People who say to themselves over and over “I know I can do this.” often find they have the advantage to win和On the other hand进行对比表示转折不同的情况,空格处填fail 对应后面“I can’t win”。
根据填空前一句One skater liked to imagine a star bursting inside her, filling her with energy可知空格处another 。
87. 根据句意Next time you want to make progress可知填空处填try doing 形式training your mind 训练你的思维。
Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题):(共12分)
For 50 years, the National Geographic Society has been holding 100 hours of film of Jane Goodall in storage. Now, those images of Goodall and her work with chimpanzees in the forests of Tanzania, have been made into a film documentary.
Jane, the name of the new movie, begins in 1960 when Goodall was 26 years old. Jane Goodall arrives at the Los Angeles premiere (首映)of “Jane” at the Hollywood Bowl on Monday. Oct. 9, 2017, in Los Angeles. The film documents her early life working in a remote area, far from Tanzania's major cities.
Goodall never had a university education. Yet her untraditional ways of studying chimpanzees tested scientists beliefs about what it means to be a human being. Goodall spoke to VOA at a special showing of the film “Jane” in Los Angeles. “Well, more than any other documentary that's being made it does take me back into the actual feeling. I had when I was out there in the forest and so it’s very moving.
Goodall made news by discovering that chimpanzees are intelligent, social animals who use tools to gather food. At the time, the scientific community believed only humans had that ability.
“It’s not quite family but, it's not quite like friends, but I’m part of their lives, they accept me. I watch what they do. And, of course, in the time of the movie. We had a really close touching relationship, which we don’t have anymore.”
When asked whether she would have done anything differently in her research. Goodall said. “Everything worked out perfectly. Were mistakes made? Of course, but one learns from mistakes, and so I wouldn’t have changed anything really.”
The music in the documentary is by Philip Glass. When Goodall saw the film with the music, she described it as “magical”. Glass says he was moved when he saw images of Goodall sitting with chimpanzees who had accepted her. “The very intimacy is when she's sitting with them, and they’re like children to her. She's combing their hair and she talks with them and they’re just with her as if they’ve accepted her totally.”
The movie includes images of National Geographic filmmaker Hugo van Lawick, Goodall’s first husband. Director Brett Morgen watched the original footage (连续镜头). “Going through 100 hours of Hugo Van Lawick’s footage is a dream. You know, Hugo's one of the greatest wildlife cinematographers in the history of filmmaking.” At the Los Angeles showing, Hollywood actor Jamie Lee Curtis described why she respects Goodall. “She has, just by doing what she loves, has brought us all along on journey and that's a message. Be uncompromising (不妥协) in your vision, uncompromising in your attack and attitude of what it is that you do.”
Even in present day. Goodall continues to travel, speak about protecting chimpanzees and urge people to protect the natural world.

【答案】
Empty Plate Campaign
When it comes to Empty plate campaign, I’m strongly in favor of eating up during each meal.
As a student, we eat lunch at school, so we should get a good habit of eating up, and don’t waste food.
What’s more, we can tell more people not to waste food, telling them how to save food, how to practice Empty plate campaign. Last but not least, we should teach those who always take more but eat less how importance of food, we should save it .In a way, it is a good way to protect our environment and our earth.
