There is an old proverb, __36__ that the tongue has the power of life and death and __37__ loves it will eat its fruit. It is true. What we say has the ability to __38__ emotions, and thoughts in others. A kind word helps people, and __39__ words hurt people —— sometimes for a very long time. Most of the time we __40__ this concept in relation to how we treat others and that is good. __41__ here I want to talk about this concept in relation to ourselves. How does __42__ we say affect us greatly? There is a simple principle here. Only say things that will create in you__43__ emotions, thoughts, feelings, and finally, actions. Let me give you a good __44__. We should not allow the words “I can’t” in our __45__. Why? Because we CAN! The very minimum（最低限度） is “I’ll try”. Have you ever been about to __46__ the soccer ball towards the goal and said to yourself, “I am going to fail this one?” What happens? You fail it. This actually __47__ to me. So what do I do? I pause for a（n） __48__, reset myself, and tell myself I am going to kick it straight down. What happens? About half the time I kick it straightly, and the other half, I __49__ it. But at the very least I increase my __50__ of performing better. Bad thoughts almost guarantee failure, __51__ good thoughts increase success. Some of us aren’t even __52__ that we talk negatively to ourselves. Take __53__some time today to think about what you say to yourself. If you find yourself saying negative things, it is a time to change! Find some simple phrases that will help you __54__ the day with more success. Whatever your situation or work is, I am sure there are specific things you can say that will build you up and put you on the road  __55__to success! 36．A．speaking             B．saying                 C．talking                D．telling 37．A．what                   B．who                    C．whoever              D．whatever 38．A．create                 B．build                   C．invent                 D．discover 39．A．kind                   B．happy                 C．active                  D．negative 40．A．think about          B．think over           C．think of               D．think out 41．A．So                      B．And                    C．But                     D．Or 42．A．that                    B．what                   C．which                 D．where 43．A．positive               B．negative              C．excellent             D．wonderful 44．A．case                    B．example              C．situation              D．condition 45．A．thoughts              B．ideas                   C．minds                 D．feelings 46．A．play                    B．beat                    C．hit                      D．kick 47．A．happens              B．occurs                 C．strikes                 D．turns 48．A．hour                   B．minute                C．day                     D．month 49．A．fail                     B．try                      C．manage               D．win 50．A．opinions              B．changes               C．chances               D．practices 51．A．as                       B．while                  C．because               D．but 52．A．aware                 B．sure                    C．certain                D．clear 53．A．sometime            B．sometimes           C．some times          D．some time 54．A．get on                 B．get through          C．get off                D．get back 55．A．on                      B．above                  C．to                       D．in
