My son Joey was born with club feet (畸形足). The doctors told us he would be able to walk normally ---but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery (手术) and braces (支架). By the time he was 8, you wouldn’t know he had a problem when you saw him walk. The children in our neighborhood ran around, as most children do, and Joey would play too. We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.
In seventh grade he decided to try out for the cross- country team. Every day he trained with the team. Although the whole team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know why. He continued to run 4 miles (6.4km) a day, every day even the day he had a 39.5 C fever. We never told him he couldn’t run 4 miles with a 39.5 C fever. So he didn’t know.
When the coach posted the names of the team members, Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade – the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he couldn’t do it... so he didn’t know. He just did it.

A mother in Australia was told by a doctor that her new born son was “dead”，but she helped bring him back to life by holding the baby against her body.She used a method known as “kangaroo care”(袋鼠护理法)．The child，named Jamie，was born after only 27 weeks with his twin sister，Emily，at a hospital in Sydney.Her birth went well，but his was a different story.The doctor struggled for 20 minutes to save Jamie before declaring (宣布)him dead.
“His little arms and legs were just falling down away from his body，” Kate Ogg said，“I took my coat off and put him on my chest with his head over my arm.” She and her husband，David，spoke to the child as she continued to hold him for nearly two hours.During that time，the twopound baby showed signs of life.She said，“I told my mom，who was there，that he was still alive.Then he held out his hand and grabbed (抓住)my finger.” Their tiny baby grew stronger and stronger in his mother’s arms，and their final goodbye turned into a hello.
The doctor at first ignored(忽视) the baby’s movements，but when he put the stethoscope (听诊器) to its chest，his mouth was wide open and he said，“it’s my fault.It’s a miracle(奇迹)．”
“The ‘kangaroo care’ helps the baby keep body warmth，” Dr Pinchi Srinivasan said，“It also regulates (调节) heartbeat and breathing rates and is believed to help weight gain and improve sleeping habits.Fathers can also use“kangaroo care”．The key to the method is skintoskin contact.
