---Sam becomes the top student because he is very clever.

---_______. Without the help of his hardworking teachers, he can’t make it at all.

Do Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Justine Henin have anything in common with people like us? You probably answer “NO!”

It seems that top athletes live in a world that is completely different from ours. However, if we could see into their minds, it would be clear that they are actually just like us.

Just how an athlete becomes a success means     ①     for us all. To achieve their goals, sportspeople not only have to prepare physically, but mentally(内心地). They have to get to know themselves, manage stress and develop their powers of concentration. So they can put all their effort into their events.

We may not be sports stars ourselves, but we have to face same problems. We set goals for ourselves and think about personal development. We have to manage our fears before big exams. We worry about our friendships with both classmates     ②     teachers.

Like sportspeople, we try to be mentally strong and give our best.

Only few of us will be competing in the Olympic Games. But, all the same, there is much we share with sports heroes. Just like athletes, how we feel influences our decisions, behavior and achievements.

Top athletes show us that success isn’t simply down to chance. We can control the direction of our life’s journey.

       An American group developed the rooftop gardening in the early 1980s. The group is known as ECHO. This idea was to help people living in cities who did not have land to grow vegetables. And now it is becoming more and more popular in many other countries.

 To build a rooftop garden, four things are necessary. You need a roof strong enough and four pieces of wood to build a box. Grass cuttings in which to plant your garden and a thin piece of plastic on which to put the cut grass are also necessary.

    Begin by testing(检测) your roof to make sure it is strong enough. Cut and collect some grass. Cover the roof with a thin piece of plastic. Then you build a box from the four pieces of wood. The box has no top or bottom. It should be about 8cm deep. 83It can be as long and as wide as needed. Put the box on the plastic. Then fill it with the cut grass. Water the grass and push it down by walking on it. After about three weeks, the rooftop box is ready for planting.

    Put the seeds(种子)directly into the wet grass. It is important that the grass is kept wet until the plants begin to grow. 84When the plants are growing, you will need to water them every day unless it rains. And birds must be prevented from eating the seeds or new plants. They will also need some liquid fertilizer (液体化肥). You can make your own liquid fertilizer if you can get wastes from chickens. Put the chicken wastes in a cloth bag. Then put the bag in a big container(容器)of water. After about one week, the water becomes a good liquid fertilizer.

    The rooftop garden is a good place to grow peas, tomatoes and onions. If the box is deep enough, potatoes and carrots also will grow.
