She lost her husband (丈夫）early, and two of her four children died in accidents. She was very sad and her health began to get worse day by day. Keeling’s daughter is a sports player. To help her mother out of her dark cloud, she asked her mother to take up running, not just slow running around the neighborhood, but professional running. At the time, Ida Keeling was 67. Keeling hadn’t do any running for many years. Why did she decide to do such a great thing? She really wanted to do something new so she decided to give it a try. She would later recall that her first running was wonderful. “I just forgot all my bad things,” she said. Although it was hard at first, Keeling didn’t give up. Running needs great endurance (耐力). And over time, her skills got better, so running became less difficult. She went on breaking records (记录) in the 60-meter running race in the 95-99 age group and set a record in the 100 meters for runners over 100 years old. “No one believed I could,” she says, “I was just exercising and now I’m famous all over the world.” When she’s not running, she’s working out. She goes to the gym for exercise three to four days a week, such as running, dancing and bike riding. She even finds ways to exercise while cooking. She wrote a book about her life story. She believes that every day is another day. 16. Keeling started to run at an old age to ________. A. get out of sadness B. take up a hobby C. build up the body D. set a good example 17.

Improving Sports Skills（技能） D. Forgetting Bad Things B Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing. We can learn much from our mistakes（错误）. However, too much of it may have health problems. When self-criticism becomes too much, it can turn into negative(消极的) self-talk. Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough. Dr. Hugh, a scientist said that some good students who study hard usually do not do well in a test because of negative self-talk. Lindsay was one of Hugh’s best students. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hugh asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous.(紧张的) She was not sure that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk. Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions. During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ★ ? Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she got an “A” on the final exam in Hugh’s class. Dr. Hugh saw students work out fine with his method. And he does not just help his students. He also helps his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life. He once said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure（失败）.” 21. How does the writer start the topic in paragraph 1? A. By listing numbers.
