No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own effort. 

I learned this lesson from a(n)1 many years ago. I worked as a new football coach(教练) at a university in State of Georgia. 

It was a tradition for the school's old team in the club to play against a2 team at the end of the term. The old team had no coach,and they didn't even practice to prepare for the game. Being the coach of the new team,I helped them practice once a week and I thought we were sure to 3 ,but to my surprise,we lost the game. I could 4 believe that I had got into such a situation. After thinking hard about it,I came to realize that I might be too 5 about ourselves. I had to change my attitude (态度) and the way of training. 

Instead of seeing my boys as losers,I pushed and 6 them. I started doing anything I could to help them. That summer,when other teams 7 their holidays,we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football. 

Six months later,we won our first game and our second,and continued to head in. Finally,we faced the number one team in the state. Before the game,I thought even if we lost the game,it would still be a8 for us. But that didn't happen. My boys beat the best team in the state,giving me one of the 9 memories of my life! 

From the experience,I learnt a lot about how the attitude of a leader could change a team. I helped them to see themselves 10 ,and they built themselves into winners. 

Winners are made,but not born.

Charles Lyell is a Scottish geologist. He was born into a wealthy family on 14 November 1797. His father, who was a scientist, kept the study well filled with books on every subject, including geology. Lyell was not a hard- working student at school, and he much preferred to have a walk in the New Forest. His first scientific hobby was collecting butterflies and insects, which he continued doing for many years. His observations(观察力) went far beyond those of other boys, and later this talent for collecting led to many important discoveries.

At the age of 19. Lyell entered Exeter College Oxford, where his interest in math and geology was developed. His interest in geology was encouraged by the wonderful lectures of William Buckland who was widely known for his effort to prove Noah's Flood by the studies of fossils. Lyell spent his long vacations travelling and making geological studies.

In 1827, Lyell started a full- time job in geology and began to plan a book which included natural explanations for geological things. He explored in Italy. Poor roads and hotels made his travel very difficult, but in the area around Mount Etna he finally confirmed his guess and got the answer he wanted.

Returning to London, he set to work immediately on his book, Principles of Geology, the first volume of which was published in July 1830. Charles Darwin once mentioned the book and said," Historians in the future will realize that the book has caused a revolution(革命) in the natural science." The book also had some influence on Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

In 1848, Lyell was knighted for his scientific achievements. Lyell became more and more famous and he received many awards in his lifetime.
