Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors （家庭教師）， cards， special learning centers—in short， everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.
After the first day，little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead，he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread（鋪開）out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating， he went back to his room， without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time，day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.
Finally，little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise， little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity（好奇心）. She went to his room and asked，“Son, what was it？ Was it the nuns（修女）？”
Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head，“No.”
“Well then，”she asked again，“WHAT was it？”
Little Tommy looked at her and said，“Well, on the first day of school，when I saw that man nailed（釘）to the plus sign（加號），I knew they weren't joking.”
小題1:Why did Tommy’s parents send him to a catholic school？
A．Because he could eat well there.
B．Because he could earn more about nuns.
C．Because his parents wanted him to do better in his math.
D．Because his parents didn’t want him to learn math any more.

“Never give up!” It is my law(法則) of life. It has brought me success. I learned the law from my father's famous story.

Once I spoke at a high school. After the speech, the principal asked me to see a special student. An          had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.
He was Matthew.          he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told            would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. He spoke about            and succeeding and seeking（追尋）his dreams.
When we finished talking, I went to my         and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about                     and overcoming obstacles（克服障礙）than I ever would. He looked at it for a while, then took it off and handed it          to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I got the news that Matthew had         and a letter Matthew had written to me a few days before:
Dear Rick,
My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter. The doctors are         to tell me that I don't have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.
I told you that in the future I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I'll         . I know I'm a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.
Thank you for loving me.
Your friend
