Chinese player Li Na, a two-time Grand Slam (网球大满贯赛事) champion, announced her retirement on Sept 21 because of long-term knee injuries. Although it was a hard decision, Li said she had no regrets (遗憾).
“I don’t feel sorry about retiring, because I’ve tried my best,” said the 32-year-old.
Becoming professional at the age of 17, Li has set many milestones (里程碑) for Chinese tennis. She was the first Chinese player to win a WTA title and the first to break into the top 20. Li won the 2011 French Open title and became the first Asian player to ever win a Slam. By winning this year’s Australian Open, she became the first Asian player with two Slams.
As excellent as her tennis abilities are, Li’s sense of humor is outstanding too. She often jokes about life with her husband in interviews, changing them into funny comedy shows. Her speech at the Australia Open in January is just the best example.

John was a very strong man. Once he got a job cutting wood in a forest(森林). His boss gave him an axe（斧头） and showed him the area where he should work.
The first day, John cut down 18 trees.
“ Good,” the boss said,“Keep that up”!
Happily, John tried harder the next day, but could only cut down 15 trees.
The third day he tried even harder, but could only cut down 10 trees. Day after day he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees.
“ I must be losing my strength（力气）,” John thought. He went to the boss and apologized（道歉）, saying that he could not understand what was going on.
“ When was the last time you sharpened（磨） your axe?” the boss asked.
“ Sharpened? I have no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut down trees!” said John.
While John was working hard, he didn’t work “ smart”. He didn’t think about the best way to do his job. Many of us never learn new skills. We think that whatever we have learned is enough.
根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正误。正确的填T，错误的填F.The boss was pleased with John’s work the first day.
John cut down three trees fewer than the first day on the third day.
John never sharpened his axe.
It’s a waste of time for John to sharpen the axe.
The story tells us we should work “ smart ”.
