A secret to win

Once a 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo (柔道) though he had lost his left arm in a car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese sensei, a judo teacher. Three months later, he was still practising with the same move. So he asked, “Sensei, 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 sensei replied.

The boy kept training. Months later, the sensei took him to his first match.

Surprisingly, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match was more difficult, but after some time, his opponent (对手) became impatient. The boy used his one move to win the match and now was in the final.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy seemed to lose the game. Being worried that the boy might get hurt, the referee (裁判) called a break. Just before the referee wanted to end the match, the sensei came to him.

“No,” the sensei said, “let him go on.” Soon after the match began, his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard (防守). Suddenly, the boy won the match.

On the way home, the boy and the sensei talked about every move in each match. Then the boy gathered the courage to ask, “Sensei, how did I win the match with only one move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you’ve learned one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known guard for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”

1.How many opponents did the boy face in the story?

A. Two.　　　　　　 B. Three.　　　　　　 C. Four.　　　　　　　　 D. Five.

2.Why did the boy’s last opponent lose the game?

A. Because he failed to protect himself in time.

B. Because he was not strong and experienced enough.

C. Because the referee ended the match.

D. Because he was afraid to hurt the boy.

3.The boy could win all the matches mainly because ______.

A. his opponents made more mistakes than he did

B. his opponents were more impatient than he was

C. the boy was better at guard than his opponents were

D. the boy’s biggest weakness became his biggest strength

4.From the passage we can infer that ______.

A. disabled people are the best ones in learning judo

B. one can win achievements by keeping practising

C. it is important to find a good referee to win a match

D. it is useless to learn too much knowledge and skills
