But he didn"t talk anything with me and even with others. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that
he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I
sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and prayed. "Please God, I can"t do anything more for my
son. I"m at the end of my rope. I"m giving the whole thing up to you."
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to talk to you about Karl"s
absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up(哽咽) and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came
pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don"t know what to do. I"ve tried everything to get
Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It"s out of my hands." For a moment there was silence on the other
end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your time", and hung up.
Karl"s next report card showed a surprising improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. That year,
I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at his great progress. On our
way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I"d play
a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That"s when I knew I had to make
you proud."

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher, Mr. Tanaka. The boy was doing well, but
his teacher had taught him only one move in three months of training.
"Mr. Tanaka," the boy finally asked, "shouldn"t I be learning more moves?"
"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you"ll ever need to know," his teacher
replied.
Several months later, Mr. Tanaka took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛). The boy won his
first three matches, using his one move to win. The boy was now in the finals, and was amazed by his
own success.
This time, his opponent (对手) was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. The referee (裁判)
wanted to stop the match.
"No," the teacher insisted, "let him continue." Soon, his opponent lowered his guard. At that moment
the boy used his move to pin (钉住) him. The boy won the match and became the champion.
On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every match. Then the boy asked what was
really in his mind.
"Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"
"You won for two reasons," his teacher answered. "First, you"ve almost mastered one of the most
difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only defense (防守) for that move is for your opponent to
catch your left arm."
The boy"s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength (优点).
1. The boy decided to study judo though .
A. he was only ten years old
B. he would have an old teacher
C. he had lost his left arm in a car accident
D. he knew he was not clever
2. How did the boy feel when he was in the finals?

B. Surprised.
C. Worried.
D. Happy.
3. What can you infer (推断) from the passage?
A. The boy wasn"t doing well at first.
B. Mr. Tanaka is a good teacher because he knows his student"s strength and weakness.
C. The referee believed the boy would win.
D. The boy had predicted that he would win.
