A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a car accident.

　　The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo teacher, Mr. Tanaka. The boy was doing well, but his teacher had taught him only one move in three months of training.

　　“Mr. Tanaka,” the boy finally asked, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves？”

　　“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” his teacher replied.

　　Several months later, Mr. Tanaka took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛). The boy won his first three matches, using his one move to win. The boy was now in the finals, and was amazed by his own success.

　　This time, his opponent (对手) was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. The referee (裁判) wanted to stop the match.

　　“No,” the teacher insisted, “let him continue.” Soon, his opponent lowered his guard. At that moment the boy used his move to pin (钉住) him. The boy won the match and became the champion.

　　On the way home, the boy and his teacher reviewed every match. Then the boy asked what was really in his mind.

　　“Mr. Tanaka, how did I win the tournament with only one move？”

　　“You won for two reasons,” his teacher answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only defense (防守) for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”

　　The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength (优点).

　　One day, however, I nearly ended our friendship. I remember that day 67 . We were sitting in the classroom. The teacher was giving us our results of an English exam. I had done badly.

It was Mary. “You look 69 ,"she said,   "What’s wrong?” I looked at her for a while, but said nothing. I knew Mary had got a good mark in the exam. I thought she was 70 at me. I sat silently, but Mary didn’t go away. She kept asking me questions, “Is it because of the exam? Do you want me to help you with your mistakes in your exam paper?” I looked away 71 her.

When you cough(咳嗽) or sneeze, please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say," Excuse me." This is a rule I set for my students.

　　It is so simple, but many kids have never been told to do this. In fact, I notice adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by underground in New York during cold and flu(流感) season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.

　　One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs along to everything and everyone they touch.

　　In order to help the students remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don't cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out, We say "God bless you" when someone sneezes, and in Germany(德国) you should say "Gesundheit". That means "Good health to you." Both expressions are said that if you didn't cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourage them to put the advice to use more often.
