Gymnast Simone Biles’ honors have been piling up for years: 25 medals, including 4 Olympic gold, the first woman to capture five All-Around World Championship titles, TIME 100, Forbes 30 under 30. She is so worshiped in gymnastics that she is often 1 , using just four letters: G.O.A．T.— “Greatest of All Time.”
But on July 25, 2021, in the 2 round of the Tokyo Olympic Games, something felt off. By the end of the day, Simone had made several uncharacteristic 3 . “It wasn’t an easy day, but I got through it,” she 4 on social media. Then, two days later, after simplifying a vault and taking a hop on the landing, Simone 5 the world by withdrawing from the day’s competition. Eventually she decided not to compete in three more events, but took home bronze on balance beam.
Simone later explained that along with other 6 health issues, she was struggling with the “twisties,” a phenomenon in gymnastics in which an athlete loses a sense of 7 they are in the air during twists and flips(翻转). The frightening issue can be dangerous.
Some fans and commentators criticized Simone for 8 ; others supported her decision to put 9 on her mental health. But over the course of two weeks last summer, Simone, the most dominant gymnast in decades, 10 what a champion looks like. “The word ‘champion’ used to 11 mean being on top or breaking records,” she tells Good Housekeeping. “Now it means being vulnerable, showing your inner 12 , being courageous.”
These days, Simone hopes to inspire other young girls to be fierce, competitive—and strong enough to 13 . She partnered with the sports apparel(服装)company Athleta on a line of active wear for girls ages 6 to 12. Each of the items has one of Simone’s 14 mantras(准则)such as “Because I can,” “No dream is too big or too small,” “The floor is yours.”—sewn into the fabric.

I was busy and often dealt with customer emails at lunch. Even fifteen minutes in the employee lunchroom seemed a 16 . My company, like many companies, cut costs by not 17 people as they left. The survivors had to take up more 18 .
For me, this 19 no lunch hour, plus taking work home.

Martin and I went to Greece last Sunday. We made our significant 61 at the Ritsona refugee camp. Seeing the smiling faces there convinced us that money could bring 62 .
Wondering how the refugees went about their daily life,we headed back to the camp the next day. Upon our arrival, the innocent children gathered around us, cheering and 63 . The adults came out of their humble 64 to give us a warm greeting. We were shown around the camp. These people, 65 they had little money, felt lucky to 66 the war and continue to be alive.
Suddenly, something 67 me, for I started discovering a sense of happiness that money had not given me. Together with Martin, I read books, played football with the children, and learned to 68 their national cuisine. On the last day of our trip, we 69 built more rooms in preparation to 70 more refugees. With each act of ours, the people’s smiles grew wider.
“We made these people happy with our money!” Martin said, dusting his hands on his trousers.
“Money doesn’t buy happiness, particularly for us 71 .” Martin’s eyes widened in 72 . “What made those people happy was having us spend the days with them, sharing their laughter, helping them with their daily 73 , and treating them with respect,” I explained. “True happiness comes not just from a random act of 74 but from also being 75 for those in need.”

Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 76 me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is distinguished for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 77 than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong . This is not the worst boy at all, 78 the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet(释放的途径)for his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a(n) 79 between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my 80 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She 81 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more 82 and my brother and I could be better 83 .
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 84 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I 85 it had already improved our lives. I accepted her 86 and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of 87 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the only beneficiary(受益者). My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
What power 88 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is 89 strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的)force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 90 .
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

The suburb I live in backs on to a large nature reserve. One morning I saw a koala (考拉) sitting in a palm tree in my front yard. I phoned around to ask what I could 106 this koala, but no one wanted to know. I ended up 107 the koala out of my tree and we crossed the road 108 for him to return to the nature reserve.
I’ve always been befriending animals. As a young kid I used to pick up lizard eggs and 109 them. It stimulated my interest as to why there wasn’t anyone wanting to come and 110 this koala in my tree. After that, I signed up for all the 111 I could find.
Once I had accreditation (合格证), I volunteered with the RSPCA in 2014, rehabilitating (使康复) wildlife. I was an ambulance driver, 112 overnight rescues. We rescued hundreds of animals and 113 more.
One day, I thought why not 114 my own rescue group focusing on my backyard? I purchased a two-acre property and built enclosures on it to 115 injured animals. Last year, I planted 300 eucalyptus trees(桉树), with seven varieties to 116 the koalas.
I cut the leaves of the eucalyptus trees for the koalas to eat and look after the 117 wildlife at our centre. If they recover, they are 118 back to where they come from.
As a kid I would never have imagined doing this. I feel like I’m the 119 girl on the planet that I get to do what I love. I believe it’s my 120 .

Recently an old friend reached out to me to ask about the success I’ve had in my life and how I achieved it. He has similar goals as me: get in shape, get into 121 more seriously, and be fluent in Japanese.
122 I haven’t entirely achieved my long term goals yet in any of these 3 categories, he’s seen that I’ve made some 123 on my journey to achieving these goals and wanted my 124 .
We had a nice hour and a half 125 on the phone about this and it seemed that he was pretty 126 in the end. A week went by and he told me that he signed up for a personal fitness trainer, is studying music theory, and 127 me video clips (片段) of him studying Japanese. He’s posting 128 on social media about all of the progress he’s making. He’s doing great!
I’ll have to let him know that progress isn’t linear (直线的) and that he’ll eventually hit some bumps (凸块) in the 129 , but I will help him out when that bump 130 .
I’m grateful for him giving me the 131 to give him advice, and I’m glad to see that he’s investing the time and money to 132 his life. He even posted about how thrilled he is with all the recent 133 in his life.
Even if you’re still not where you want to be, there are a lot of people out there who want what you have and who are impressed with how far you’ve come. It’s good to 134 how far you’ve come, be proud of yourself, and recognize how much you can help others 135 the same.

Borneo is home to some of the most extraordinary wildlife. Several years ago, I decided to go there for a visit. A local person offered to be my guide, which was a great 136 for me.
One day, my guide turned off the smooth road and took me across a 137 hillside instead. We picked our way carefully when 138 , a Rafflesia (大王花) popped into my view among those stones. Oh, dear! More than 139 , I bent down and put my nose practically inside the flower’s core.
Nevertheless, to my surprise, it was only one of the 140 during the trip.
As I 141 the end of my trip, there was still something I had yet to see. We planned to hunt for most feared creature there, the saltwater crocodile, which can grow to a length of 6 meters or more. 142 we shone a flashlight towards the muddy shore, little sounds 143 in the darkness as if something unseen underwater had broken the 144 . Taking a second look, we spotted two greedy eyes just 145 the water line. As we drew near, it moved and we saw clearly it was a crocodile. With great caution, we neared it and finally could 146 its true dimensions. It was a baby — no more than 0.6 meter long. Aha, whatever, I could now report to the 147 back home, who had never been to Borneo, that I had 148 a hungry crocodile in the wild and lived to tell the tale.
