18、 you win. Some athletes can reach great goals such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal. Others never live up to their promise. What kind of preparation before (25)_ race or other event makes the difference? Everyone knows that athletes spare no effort (26)_ (strengthen) their bodies. But res
19、earches show that strengthening the mind may be just as important. Careful study indicates that the best athletes win partly (27)_ they think they can win. Thinking positive thoughts seems to give the possibility for success in sports. People who say to themselves over and over “I know I (28)_ do th
20、is. ” often find they have the advantage to win. On the other hand, people often fail who think “I cant win.” One procedure (29)_ helps many athletes is creating pictures in the mind.

It was along the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this Westward Movement took place more because the English
25、(35)_ (search) for better land than because the population was increasing. Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold (36)_ (discover) in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later. Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there a
26、re some striking differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without (37)_ (go) to war.

27、s in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people, or almost half as many sheep as there are people now in the United States.
