When Carson Palmer, a professional American football player, hurt his arm a few years ago, he took a week off from throwing the football. But in his head, Palmer practiced every day. The following weekend, Palmer had the best game of his life.

For more than a century, scientists have been trying to understand how this mental training works. In the 1930s, researchers proved by experiment that when you're imagining an action, your brain sends signals to your muscles(肌肉) which are too weak to tighten the muscles but might help train the body to perform. In other words, mental practice might create a pattern in your head, like an inner how-to guide for a particular skill.

Sports psychologists have conducted hundreds of studies comparing imagined and physical practice for actions. On the whole, the research shows that mental training works. A 2012 study, for example, compared 32 amateur golfers who practiced hitting the balls to another 32 who merely held a golf club in their hands and visualized（想象）their swings. Under the same training rules, both groups improved their skills by getting the ball about 4 inches closer to the hole.

Visualization has advantages over the real thing: You can do it anywhere, even when injured. It is safe-a major plus for high-risk performers such as gymnasts and surgeons. And you can practice for longer periods of time because you're not restricted by physical tiredness, That’s not to say it's easy, we've had Olympic-level athletes sitting in our lab, visualizing the movements for two hours," says Tadhg Macintyre, a sports psychologist at the University of Limerick in Ireland. “When we're done, they’re absolutely tired.”

It doesn’t work for everyone, though. "If you're a novice, the effect can be harmful,” warns Macintyre. If you're trying to visualize a free throw, and you don't even know the proper movement, then you're probably going to mentally practice the wrong skill.”

1.The author introduces the topic of the text by______.

A. giving an example　　 B. presenting an argument

2.What happens when one is visualizing an action?

A. A special skill is quickly acquired.

B. A certain model is formed in the head

C. The muscles grow increasingly tense.

D. The brain sends strong messages to the body.

3.What does the underlined word "novice " in the last paragraph mean?

A. Coach　　 B. Specialist

C. Beginner　　 D. Judge

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Athletes are likely to win games through imagined practice.

B. Practicing a shill properly in mind can produce intended effect.

C. Practice whether mental or physical ha its own characteristics.

D. Scientists have found a sale way for athletes to practice their skills.

When us teenager Jake Olson isn’t playing football or golf for his high school, he’s often offering inspiration through his new book about his own life.

These activities might be too much for the average 16-year-old to deal with, but Jake is blind. When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his father’s guidance.

It seems apparent that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory— repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature — have also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well.

Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his left eye when he was an infant　 and eventually his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old. Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faith as sources of motivation .

“If I was going to sit on the couch all day feeling sorry for myself, I wasn’t going to do anything. I decided right then and there that I wasn’t going to let it stop me and that I was going to go out and persevere (坚持不懈),” he said.

It was with that mind-set that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in California was able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life. “It’s about opening the readers’ eyes to their true potential in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have,” Jake said.

Jake’s father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships. “Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest, and with every setback, there’s a setup,” Jake said. “In every one of us, there’s more potential than we can ever imagine, and it really is a choice.”

1.We can learn from the article that Jake Olson ______.

A. was born a blind child

B. could have been a golf master

C. has great muscle memory

D. is trying to find the cure for his disease

2.According to the article, Jake’s family members ______.

A. pity him deeply

B. once gave up hope on him

C. encouraged him to write the book

D. admire his efforts and determination

3.The purpose of the book Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life is to ______.

A. promote good approaches to getting along with disabled people

B. inspire people to discover and use their hidden abilities

C. help people come up with better life goals

D. explain different definitions of “a happier life”

4.The underlined word “setback” is closest in meaning to ______.

A. fight         　　      B. failure            C. opportunity         D. success
