Question

When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach (田徑教練). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior (三年級學(xué)生). John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in athletics, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.

About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, “John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn’t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since you’re so good at it.”

John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”

From then on, I often remember my student’s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不滿的) students can be of themselves, I’ve found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way!

試題分析：文章主要講了作者鼓勵他的學(xué)生John加入田徑隊，一個月后作者發(fā)現(xiàn)John在網(wǎng)球比賽中得了第一。作者本認(rèn)為John更應(yīng)該去網(wǎng)球隊，而作者對John的鼓勵使得他堅持在田徑隊努力訓(xùn)練。
