negativeremarks were measurably slower.And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistentgame and not make unforced errors.

succeed.But if youcan hold on to a winning attitude，you’ll make a greater effort and also create

一项新研究显示，有些词产生的威力很大。俩如，网球以数字图像的形式出现在四十位竞争实力相当的网球选手面前。每个球出现之前，选手都会看到或听到诸如“好球”或“臭球”之类的评语。选手听到负面评价时，发球反应明显变慢。他们都是些训练确素的专业运动员，一般不会自己造成失误。

这是为什么呢?因为负面反馈信息降低了他们的自信心。如果心里想着成功，那你就会为了获得威功付出巨大的努力并产生积极的动力。自信的人会鼓舞他人;机会似乎也经常光顾自信的人。他们对威功有着巨大的吸引力。

所以应该学习为自己加油鼓劲的重要性，让自己的头脑中时刻回荡着积极的声音。运动员的成功很少仅仅归功于天生的才能，他们成功的真正原因是准备得很充分。他们专注于自己所从事的事，如果有需要，他们愿意努力训练，并且头脑中时刻回荡着积极的声音。

如果你是自己的教练，那么重要的一点就是要像任何一个外界建议者或者一个好的父母那样告诫自己：练习，练习，再练习。避免和吸于你的能量，降低你的自信的人在一起，要和那些欣赏你的人待在一块，并经常提醒自己这一点。悲观的人会把你带入一种消极情绪中，就像爱抱怨的人和爱批评别人的人一样。如果有一种建立自信心的模式，那就是受伤后。主动回到比赛中，别管自己的伤口。

但是，这里也有一些重要的警告。恐惧可能会使得你精神萎靡，从而不能清楚地思考，以至于产生一些小小的失误。如果你遭受了严重的损失，给自己点时间慢慢接受所遇到的挫折。不要否定挫折给自己所带来的伤害或者急于解决问题。让支持你的正面力量重新聚集到你身边，并让自己受其滋养。闲坐在那儿思考自己的损失是解决问题糟糕的手段。

56.B【精析】细节题。根据段第三句“the reaction times of playershearing negative remarks were measurably slower.”可知，选手听到负面评价会影响发挥，由此推知，接收到正面评价会有好的表现，故选B。

57.D【精析】推理题。根据第二段内容可知，如果心里想着自己能够赢，就会不断付出努力，产生积极奋斗的动力，后也才更有可能成功，由此可推知，一个人如果想成功，首先要想象自己是个赢家，故选D。

58.A 【精析】细节题。根据第三段句中“pep talks”后面内容“keep the voice in yourhead positive”可知，既然是头脑中回荡着积极的声音，那前面说的话肯定是为自己加油鼓劲的话，可知pep talks指的是鼓励人的话，故选A。

59.C【精析】细节题。根据第四段第二句和第三句

“Avoidindividuals who suck your energy and diminishyour confidence.Hang out with the people who see you at your best，and remind you about it every SO often.”可知，要和那些鼓励欣赏你的人在一块，不要和那贬低你能力的人、让自己产生不自信的人在一块，由此推知，作者建议要和那些给你加油鼓劲的人在一块，故选C。

60.D【精析】细节题。根据后一段第三句和第四句“Ifyou suffer a terrible loss.give yourself time to absorb the blow.Don’t deny the hurt ortry to solve the problemimmediately.”可知，遇到挫折不要急着否定自己的伤痛，也不要立刻解决所遇到的问题，而是要给自己点时间，慢慢接受所遇到的挫折，故选D。
