Two runners stand side by side at the starting line of a race．Both look very strong and fast. 36 one runner speeds ahead and wins the race．The other falls behind.
Some athletes can reach great 37 such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal．Others never live up to their 38 . What kind of 39 before a race or another event makes the 40 ?
Everyone knows that athletes work out to strengthen their 41 ．But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as 42 ．Careful study indicates that the best athletes win 43 because they think they can win.
Thinking positive thoughts seems to give possibility for 44 in sports．People who say to themselves over and over, “I know I can do this, ”often find they have the 45 to win．On the other hand, people often 46 ,who think, “I can’t win.”
One procedure that helps many athletes is creating 47 in the mind．They are told to think of each 48 they must make to win．Some use pictures that are more fanciful．One skater liked to 49 a star bursting inside her, 50 her with energy．Another athlete who wanted to feel 51 pictured himself as a 52 floating in the air.
Next time you want to do something well, try training your 53 to help you．Perhaps a teacher or another instructor can help you plan your training．If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see 54 in what you 55 can do．Positive thinking and picture created in your mind can help you win!

African-American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is the world’s most powerful celebrity (名人), according to Forbes （福布斯） magazine. It placed Winfrey at the top of the annual ranking of the 100 people with the biggest pull （影响力）.
Winfrey, 51, draws 30 million viewers weekly in the United States. Her talk show reaches 112 countries. She earned US ＄225 million over the past 12 months to rank second in celebrity riches. The annual Forbes list gives most weight to annual earnings. But it also looks at the celebrity’s presence on the Internet and in the media. “After 21 years, her exciting chat show still rules the airwaves,” the magazine said.
Winfrey is most popular with her popular talk show “The Oprah Winfrey Show”. She can always attract the superstars and let them open up to her intimate interviewing style. Winfrey’s approach appears to be simple. She is in a pursuit （追求）of self-improvement and self-empowerment. This has proved to be just what people, especially women, want.
Winfrey often talks about her personal secrets on her show. That pulls in viewers. For example, she made it known that she had been sexually abused (辱骂)as a child, and has spoken freely of her struggle with her weight.
Her success has not just been on the screen. Her media group includes a women’s TV network and websites for women. Her work has extended to social change. In 1991, she did a lot of work for the National Child Protection Act. She testified before the US Senate to establish a national database （数据库）of dangerous child abusers. The then President Bill Clinton later signed the “Oprah Bill” into law.
