I Was Told I Can

About 6 months ago, I joined a gym. Every morning, there was one trainer who worked out at the same time as I did. He did his daily exercise with such a quiet determination(决心) that he made it all look effortless although I knew all too well how hard he was working.

A couple of weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups. I had never tried doing chin-ups before, but it looked so easy, so I asked him if I could try one. He eagerly stepped aside and encouraged me to try. I pulled myself up without thinking … once … then twice. I stopped because that was all I had in me, but he stepped up behind me and pushed me up for two more. It felt so good and I felt strong.

The next few days when I finished my workout, I would ask him to watch me do chin-ups. However, each time I could only do two. I was quite upset, but he told me that when he trained firefighters, men were required to do 5 chin-ups, and women were required to do one or two. Most people couldn’t do them at all, so he was amazed at what I could do. He further told me that if I practiced every day, I would be doing five or six in no time.

Because he told me I could, I didn’t realize how difficult it was. I was encouraged to try and I didn’t doubt it for a moment. I truly thank him for letting me believe that for me success is not only a possibility, but also a realistic goal that I can achieve.

D．it was part of her training plan

【2】When the writer could only do two chin-ups, she felt ________.

A．bored

B．amazed

C．upset

D．satisfied

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Self-trust is the secret to success.

B．Exercise can only change our bodies.

C．Truth is much more powerful than lies.

D．Encouragement can help us achieve more.

27、My mom was badly ill and died on her 50th birthday. Though she tried her best to fight, she just couldn’t get over it.

My mom never took herself too seriously. She just wanted everyone to be happy, and we loved her for it. Even when I was upset with her for not letting me stay overnight with my friends, or when she expressed disappointment that I couldn’t bring my grades up, I still loved her so much. She respected my privacy (隐私). And if I ever needed to talk, she would leave her door wide open and listen to me carefully. She left us too soon, but she left her children with the memory of being loved. My mom wasn’t perfect. But I remember her as perfect, not because she did everything right, but because she tried to know me, to connect with me, and to always make me feel safe and loved.

Ten years after her death, I welcomed my own child into the world. At the beginning, I was just angry. Angry that this new person would never get to know her wonderful grandmother. Angry that I couldn’t pick up the phone and ask my mom how she dealt with this or that. I missed her love. I just missed her.

Later, I accepted and tried to change the situation. How can I give my daughter what my mom managed to give me? Could I be easygoing like her? Will my daughter feel as loved as I did?

Now, I see all of these things in myself, and in my daughter, and think to myself, “That’s mom.” I realize this, and I can almost see my mom smiling as if she were standing right there with me. And I smile too.
