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).
小题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
小题2:How did the boy feel when he was in the finals?
A.Proud.B.Surprised.C.Worried.D.Happy.
小题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.

解析

试题分析:在这篇短文里,一个缺失了左臂的男孩学柔道,老师一直就教他一个动作。他用这一个动作打赢了很多比赛,并获得了锦标赛的冠军。男孩很疑惑,问老师原因。原来这一个动作就是利用了男孩缺失左臂这个优势来致胜的。
小题1:细节理解题。文章第一句although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.尽管他在一次车祸中丧失了左臂,故选C。
小题2: 判断推理题。Then the boy asked what was really in his mind.“Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”男孩问了他心中一直存在的问题“我怎么能用一招取得胜利呢?”由此可判断,男孩对于自己最后的胜利感觉惊讶,故选B。
小题3:判断推理题。从文中内容得知,老师只教男孩一个动作,并用一招取得最后的胜利,就是因为他知道怎么利用男孩缺失左臂这点来取胜的,所以选B,他是个好的老师,因为他了解男孩的优势和劣势。

The motivation to succeed comes from the burning desire to achieve a purpose. Napoleon Hill wrote, “whatever the mind of man can conceive (设想) and believe, the mind can achieve.”
A young man asked Socrates (苏格拉底) the secrets to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning.  When they meet, Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river. When the water got up to their necks, Socrates took the young man by surprise and pressed him into the water. The boy struggled(挣扎) to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy stared turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp(大口喘气) and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” the boy replied. “Air.” Socrates said,“ That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret.”

Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch ( 横杆 ) in the middle of the store, so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it.
