I learned this lesson from an experience many years ago. I took the head______job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.

It was a tradition for the schools old team to play against the new team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even______to prepare for the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was______ because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated (打败). I couldn't believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to realize that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were depending on me. I had to ______ my attitude about their ability and potential (潜能).

I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. Most important, I began to treat them like______.That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football.

Six months after being defeated on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. Finally, we ______ the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest thrills(兴奋,激动) of my life!

From the______I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can offers the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves______, and they built themselves into winners.

A different kind of alarm clock

When Matty Sallin, 24, was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting task for the final exam: Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create an alarm clock.

“To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant,” he says. So before he started to design the new clock; he asked different people what they’d like to wake up to in the morning, and lots of them said, “The smell of bacon（培根）.”

So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake people up. He explains, “There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs（灯泡） instead of fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.” Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”.

“What you do is to put a few pieces of bacon meat inside the box the night before, then you set the alarm,” says Sallin. “If you set the alarm for 8: 00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.”

“So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms,” says Sallin. “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”

When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house,” he says. “But I never really thought I’d become an inventor！”

Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other thing, but people continue to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. If he decides to produce and sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it.
