The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldn"t
understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move.
"Instructor," the girl finally said, "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," the instructor replied.
Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training.
Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprising herself, the girl easily
won her first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent
became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her
success, the girl was now in the finals.
This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl appeared to be
overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. She was about to stop the
match when the instructor intervened (干预).
"No," the instructor insisted, "Let her continue."
Soon after the match restarted, her opponent made a serious mistake: she dropped her guard. Instantly, the
girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.
On the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl
gathered the courage to ask what was really on her mind.
"Instructor, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"
"You won for two reasons," the teacher answered. "First, you"ve almost mastered one of the most difficult
throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left
arm."
The girl"s biggest weakness had become her biggest strength.
B. She disliked judo training.
C. She learnt several moves.
D. She won the first two matches hard.
B. depressed
C. defeated
D. trapped
B. her skills
C. her tricks
D. her strength
B. A Disabled Girl
C. Defense Matters
D. Weakness Becomes Strength

A group of schoolmates who have left school for several years, highly established in their careers, got
together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into 1 about stress in work and
life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 2 with a large pot of coffee and a
variety of cups-porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some graceful-telling
them to 3 themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said. " 4 you noticed, 5 the nice
looking expensive cups were 6 , leaving behind the 7 and cheap ones. 8 it is normal for you to want
only the best for yourselves, that is the 9 of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds
no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases 10 hides what we drink.
What all of you 11 wanted was coffee, not the cup, 12 you consciously 13 the best cups... And then
you began 14 each other"s cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money, and 15 in society
are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor
change the 16 of life we live. Sometimes, by 17 only on the cup, we 18 to enjoy the coffee God has
provided us."
God brews the coffee, not the cups... Enjoy your coffee!
"The 19 people don"t have the best of everything. They just 20 the best of everything."
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.

| A woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear getting back her pet was more important than her car. "Whoever did this can keep my car. Please let Tom come home," the notice said. It is not known whether the thief showed any pity, but almost 30 hours after the 1 pm theft Friday, Julie and Tom, a 10-year-old black retriever (猎犬), were reunited after police located them in Barringlon. "He"s hungry, he"s dirty, but he"s very happy to be home," Julie said. The car was found at about 5 pm Saturday off Route 125 in an area full of off-the-road cars and dirt bikes. However, the police couldn"t control Tom, and they had to call Julie to come and get him. Julie said the thief cared for Tom a little by giving him some dry dog food. She believed Tom ended up drinking some muddy water in the area. She said they have been together for nearly 8 years after she took him back from a society shelter in Dallas, Texas. Before Tom was found, Julie and several friends put up notices all over the city. They also contacted animal shelters, throughout southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The notice stated there was a reward, and also that the dog needed medication. Any caller could remain anonymous (匿名的). Julie had parked the car outside a hardware store with the keys inside and gone in to buy a carpet cleaner. "It was 10 minutes and I came out and my car was gone along with Tom in broad daylight," Julie said. The car thief threw her wallet and other personal items out of the car before escaping from the scene. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| For a few years, I have been wearing a ring on my right hand. It"s not always the 1 ring, but it"s always a ring that has 2 on it so that when I look at it, I"m 3 or reminded of something important. I have made a 4 of buying rings like this whenever I see one in a store. Sometimes I give them away as 5 to someone like Jennie. I first met Jennie in the 6 waiting room and we had talked several times. One night I sat down beside her and 7 how her son was doing because I knew that he was in very 8 condition.
