1.Go for It! While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across quite a sight. It was not a world record broken, but a show of determination. The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started so they were disqualified（取消資格）. That left only one to compete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is what"s important. I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that he was not out for gold. His arms were flailing（亂擺）in an attempt at freestyle. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor. I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally be made his turn to start back. You could tell he was tired out. But in those few difficult strokes（劃動）, the crowd had changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shouted things like, "Come on, you can do it!" and "Go for it!" He did. When this young man finally finished his race, the crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man did his best. Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone raced. His country had been asked to Sydney as a polite gesture.

1.When her grandmother"s health began to get worse in the fall, Mary would make the drive from Washington, DC to Winchester, Virginia, every few days. To make the trip to the hospital, Mary had to get on highway 81. It was here that she discovered a surprising bit of beauty during one of her trips. Along the middle of the highway, there were a long stretch of wild flowers. They were beautiful and almost poetic（詩意的）in appearance. The first time she saw the flowers, Mary was seized by an urge（沖動）to pull over. She then stopped her car and picked a bunch from the soil. She carried them into her grandmother"s room when she arrived at the hospital and placed them in a glass by her bed. For a moment her grandmother seemed better than usual. She thanked Mary for the flowers, commented on their beauty and asked where she had gotten them. Mary was filled with joy because of the flowers" seeming ability to wake something up inside her sick grandmother. Afterwards, Mary would pick a bunch of flowers on her way to visit grandma. Each time Mary placed the flowers in the glass, her grandmother"s eyes would light up, and they would have a splendid conversation. One morning in late October, Mary got a call that her grandmother had taken a turn for the worse. Mary was in such a hurry to get to her grandmother that she drove past her flower spot. She decided to turn around. She headed several miles back and got a bunch. Mary arrived at the hospital to find her grandmother very weak and unresponsive（無應答的）.She placed the flowers in the glass and sat down to hold her grandmother"s hand. She felt a press on her fingers.

1.Self-esteem（自尊）and Self-confidence 1．Think back to when you did something new for the first time. Self-confidence isn"t always what we think it is. Many experts say that self-confidence and self-esteem are different. Self-confidence is about what we can do by virtue of our efforts, It grows along with the quality of the effort. 2．Self-esteem is more fundamental（基本的）and is about the feeling of being worth something, just because we are, and not because we have done something. A good sportsman can have a huge success and self-confidence, because he"s good at his sport. In the same time his self-esteem can be low, if his parents have never recognized and treasured him for the person he is deep inside, but only for his performances in sports. 3．Build self-esteem if you were not born with it. Some people just have it, as if they were born with it. They talk in front of a crowd of people, sell themselves at job interviews or start an interesting conversation with people they"ve never met before. 4．Self-confidence isn"t something you receive as a birth gift. It"s something you develop gradually as you turn over the pages of the thick book of life. If you work goal-directed to improve your belief in yourself, you"ll eventually build up your courage to do what self-assured（自信的）people find natural, instead of developing pounding hearts, breathing difficulties and trembling hands. 5．Regardless of fear and shyness you"ll have to get out of your hiding to improve your self-confidence. Be more visible to your surroundings. Do something else than you used to. Try yourself in different situations. We all have many great abilities that just have to be exposed. Paragraph 1_____
