Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm
28、in a devastating car accident.The boy began lesson with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was done well, so he couldnt understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. Master, the boy finally said, shouldnt I be learning more moves? This is the only move yo
29、u know, but this is the only move youll ever need to know, the master replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament. To his surprise, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third matc
30、h proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly 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 appea
31、red to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the master intervened. No, his master insisted, let him continue. Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the
32、boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.On the way home, the boy and his master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really in his mind. Master, how did I win the tournament with only on
33、e move? You won for two reasons, the master answered. First, youve 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 boys biggest weakness had become his biggest strength. 51. Which of the sta
34、tements is true about the boy?A. He wanted to learn judo to keep healthy B. He learned many moves from his masterC. He lost one of his arms in an accident D. He thought his master didnt like him52. What happened during the boys first tournament?A .The referee stopped the matches. B. The boy won all
35、the matches at last.C. The boys opponents were afraid of him. D. The master didnt believe the boy could win.53. The underlined word intervened in Paragraph 3 means _.A. became annoyed B. smiled loudly C. began to interfere D. fought hard54. The author wrote the passage to _. A. tell us that everyone
36、 has his own strengths B. tell us that judo is really not hard to learn well C. tell us that the boy is a strong-willed champion D. tell us that we all can win if we try hard enoughBMany years ago in a small German town, a Jewish businessman had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the mo
37、neylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the businessmans beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain.The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble(卵石) and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the bla
38、ck pebble, she would become the moneylenders wife and he would forgo her fathers debt. If she picked the white pebble, she need not marry him and her fathers debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.They were standing on a pebble-strewn
39、path. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. The sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag. No doubt she was caught in a dilemma.What would you have done if you were the g
40、irl? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities: 1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.2. The girl should know that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat.3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father fro
41、m his debt and imprisonment.The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral (横向的)and logical thinking. Read onThe girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn
42、pathwhere it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. “Oh, how clumsy of me!” she said. “But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked.” Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the whi
43、te one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.55. The underlined word “forgo” in paragraph 2 may mean _.A. pay offB. run outC. take over D. give up56. Which of the following indicates lateral
44、thinking?A. The girl refused to take a pebble and fled at once.B. The girl exposed the cheat and found another way.C. The girl picked one pebbles and made it disappear.D.

45、bble onto the path on purposeB. The girl dropped the pebble onto the path by accidentC. The girl didnt know there were two black pebbles in the bagD. The girl replaced a black pebble in the bag58. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. Keeping calm when facing a difficult situation.B. Thinking about a complicated problem in another way.C. Thinking twice before making a final choice.D.
