　    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 examples for us all. To achieve their goals, sportsmen ______ have to prepare physically, ______ mentally(内心地). They have to get to know themselves, manage stress and develop their powers of concentration（专注）. So they can put all their efforts into their events.

        We may not be sports stars ourselves, 但是我们不得不面对相同的问题. 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 and teachers.

Like sportsmen, 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.

Liu Chuanjian, a 46-year-old pilot on Sichuan Airlines Flight 3U8633, has become well- known to the public. On May 14^th, Liu's plane took off as usual from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport at 6: 26 am and planned to arrive in Lhasa, Tibet at 9: 05 am.

At around 7 am, Liu and co-pilot Xu Ruicheng suddenly heard a loud noise. They both shouted, "There are cracks(裂缝)in the windshield(挡风玻璃). "Soon the windshield was broken and the copilot was blown halfway out of the window.

Most of the equipment on the plane was broken. Liu could not hear the radio or the other members. Even worse, the temperature was -40℃. But Liu could not feel the freezing cold because he was thinking how to land the plane.

Liu felt better after he could fly the plane with the joystick(操纵杆)," I was sure that I could land the plane safely because I had flown more than 100 times along the way," he said." At first I was troubled by the speed of landing. There was a

shortage of oxygen(缺氧) and it was very cold. But if I lowered the plane too quickly, it would be dangerous for people on the plane. As a result, I took a medium speed."

Liu succeeded in making an emergency landing(紧急着陆) at Chengdu Shuangliu International

Airport about 45 minutes after the accident. And nobody got badly hurt.
