Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right.Becoming an excellent athlete who

6、can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication. She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete-student instead of a student-athlete.“I always put track and field first, and then comes school,” Akinosun said. A social life comes last.“Its about sacrifices(牺牲). You cant be on the

12、 published in the Journal of Research in Personality.Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someones shoes.
