Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one ten-year-old boy who decided to study judo[柔道] despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. He was doing well. So he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught him only one move.

"Instructor," the boy 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 his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the instructor took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged. The boy deftly[巧妙的] used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be defeated. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened(干涉）.

"No," the instructor insisted, "Let him continue."

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: He dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy gathered the courage to ask what was really on his 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 boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

24．According to the second paragraph the boy was ______ with his teacher.

A. unsatisfied. B. angry. C. pleased. D. .careful

25．Why did the referee call a timeout in the finals?

A. Because the boy was defeated. B. Because he thought the boy would be the loser definitely.

C. Because he was disappointed. D. Because he thought the boy would give up.

26．In the last paragraph, the author wanted to tell us________.

A. the reason why the boy won every match. B. the instructor was very excellent.

C. who was the champion. D. the boy was very courageous.

27．What is the best title of the passage?

A. No Pains, No Gains. B. A Great Judo Master.

C. Weakness Can Become Strength D. Where There Is a Will, There Is a Way

C

Every day life is made and lost. Every day, life goes on. Every day we experience some of the most important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren't just important to us; they make the world what it is.

Scientists say that gravitational (重力的) force makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes it go round. Love can be found anywhere: in families, friends, and even complete strangers. Even if you can't see it, you know it's there. Never complain that you can’t find love in the world. Only a person who loves the world from the heart can feel to be loved.

Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity? Whether after a national disaster, or a school fund-raiser, one thing is certain-- it is better to give than to receive. Generosity is found everywhere and whether it's a large or small act, it makes a difference. Most of all, being generous is not something you need any qualifications for, but no matter what you do, it can make a difference. Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.

Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing an essay, these are all finished with perseverance. Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists to discover cures for diseases, and athletes to become champions. You may fail, but every time you make a mistake, that's one less to make the next time.
