14、 gone home and the television audience has switched off, another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin.

15、ans will not be taking part.She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thompson. Born with spine bifida（脊椎 裂）which left her paralysed from the waist down, Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom.

16、 But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she found athletics, and never looked back.Indeed, Tannis athletic career took off. In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100 metres at the Junior National

17、Wheelchair Games.In 1988, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 metres. Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympies. Tanni won gold in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she ach

18、ieved the first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories.Tannis enduring success had been part motivation, part preparation, “The training I do enables me to be a good sprinter（短跑运动员）, enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whateve

19、r distance I want to race. I am still competing at a very high level, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart.”Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.In spite of

20、ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down.

How do they （and how can you） get others to follow?Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance fr

26、om others is to treat them like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world.

27、an helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees. “Catch people doing something right!” he says. Then tell everyone about it.Take informed risks. “The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise,” says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz. “Sky divers

28、 dont go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes（降落伞）beforehand.”Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others to take charge. But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail and not die a thousand deaths. Pick yourself

29、up and start all over again.Encourage enthusiasm（热情）.“When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental strengths,” says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. Thats a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement?

44、 went into force last month, following the conclusion of a recent research that a shocking number of accidents are relevant to people using electronic gadgets（小玩意儿）when crossing the street.Whos to blame?

45、r brain can do more than it often can, ”says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist（精 神科学家）in Tennessee. “But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once.”The young are often considered the great multitaskers, but a research suggests this perception is open to question.
