James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
"J.C., "he replied.
She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second?  year student in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games  in Berlin the next year,  and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African?American winners.
"It was all right with me, "he said years later."I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."
Having returned from Berlin,  he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,  either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens? Olympic victories  made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks,  motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later." But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
In time,  however,  his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said. "Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."

        Getting to Now: How to Beat the Procrastination Habit

  I am a procrastinator(拖拉者). I always have been. I've tried all sorts of things to beat the habit. Here are some techniques I've been using to try to force myself to get to now:

  Set aside blocks of time to do things. When I was talking with my wellness coach earlier this year, she asked me why I didn't exercise more often. “ 1. ,” I said. “Something always comes up.” She wasn’t impressed. “J.D.,” she said, “You have to make time. Make an appointment with yourself to run or to go for a bike ride.” The same principle applies to other things you might procrastinate.

   2. . Often I’ll be sitting on the back porch reading a book, and it will occur to me that some chore needs to be done — mending the fence, for example. “ 3. ,” I tell myself. Wrong! What usually happens is that I forget to write it down, and even if I do, I just look at the list and procrastinate for weeks on end. The best move is to actually do the chore when I think of it. (Assuming, of course, that I have the time at that moment,which I usually do.)

  Use a timer to bring you back to reality. Part of the reason I procrastinate is that I'm a daydreamer.   4. . One way to keep on track is to use a timer. I use the Ultrak Jumbo Countdown Timer, but not as often as I should. I set it for 48 minutes. When it goes off,   5. : Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing?

  Do not multitask. I often start many things at once, but I never actually do any of them. In order for me to get something done, I need to focus my attention on it. Trying to do several things at once is a sure way to be sure they'll all be unfinished tomorrow.

  A. I’m always lost in thought

  B. it brings me back to reality

  C. If it comes to mind, then do it

  D. I don’t have the time

  E. it serves as an instant reality check

  F. Do it right away if you are asked to do something

  G. I need to write that down so I can remember it

完形填空

  Often, I wonder why people like Michael Jordan and O.J.Simpson are considered heroes.People will say that Jordan and Simpson are heroes because they are good   1   to young people.They are two incredibly gifted men who play their   2   sports with tremendous heart and determination.They have shown   3   and personality at all times on and off the court and they’ve   4   millions of people.Mentioned as well will be that Jordan is basketball’s greatest player, and Simpson   5   among the greatest running backs in football history.However, the question remains, are they really heroes?

  Perhaps Jordan is a hero because he has an incredible gambling   6   losing up to two million dollars per day.And he has repeatedly stated that   7   he is the National Basketball Association’s highest paid player in 1997 he will retire permanently.

  For years O.J.Simpson was known as the“Greatest American Hero”.And people of all ages   8   with him and idolized him.He was the greatest running back to ever play for the Buffalo Bills and became an instant movie star.  9  , it took two brutal murders, and a few 911 tapes to show the country   10   our hero really was.He is a wife beater and an accused murderer.  11   being acquitted(宣告无罪)for double murder, he has done nothing but attempt to   12   selling infomercials.

  Jordan and Simpson are not   13   role models.They are past and present athletes who have used their   14   abilities to become national superstars.  15   people see Jordan slam the door and they wanted to be like him.This is   16   parents would tell their children that these athletes can be   17   for their exceptional talent in sports, but   18   they live their lives   19   the court is what separates them from   20   heroes.
