A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo* although he had lost his left arm in a car accident. The boy began 11 with a Japanese judo coach. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t know 12 the coach taught him only one move. After three months of 13 , the boy finally asked, “Sir, should I start to learn more moves?”
“This is the only move you know, 14 this is the only move you’ll need to know,” the coach replied. Not quite understanding, but the boy 15 his teacher. So he kept training.
Several months 16 , the coach took the boy to his first match. To his surprise, the boy 17 won his first match. The second match was more difficult. But after some time, his opponent* became impatient. The boy used his one move to win the match again. 18 of the people in the stadium were amazed by his success. The boy was now in the finals.
This time, his opponent was bigger, 19 , and more experienced. For a while, the boy seemed to 20 . Worried that the boy 21 get hurt, someone shouted, “Stop! Stop! Stop!” However, the coach said, “No, 22 .”
As the match was keeping on, his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard. Quickly, the boy used his move to 23 him. The boy won the final match. He was the winner.
24 the way home, the boy asked his coach: “Sir, how did I win the match with only one move?”
“You won for 25 reasons,” the coach answered, “First, you’ve almost known one of the most difficult moves in all of judo. And second, the only defense* for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”
The boy’s greatest weakness had become his greatest strength.

American people have the habit of saying “Thank you”when something kind is done for them or something polite is said to them, no matter how easy the thing is. This habit is learned by people of many countries.
You should say “Thank you”when someone you the salt on the table, when someone walks aside to let you in a corridor （走廊）, when someone ahead of you keeps the door open you, when someone says your work is well or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful.
“Thank you”is not only between strangers or new friends, but also between old friends, parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. Parents often tell children that they should say “Thank you”in answer to a kind word or act when they are only four five years old. Perhaps that’s almost everyone has got this habit.
