Question

My son Joey was born with club feet(畸形足)．The doctors told us that with  36  he would be able to walk  37  but would never run very well．The first three years of his  38 were spent in surgery．By the time he was eight you wouldn’t know he had a  39 when you saw him walk．

The children in our  40  ran around as most children do during play and Joey would jump right in and run and play too．We never told him that he probably wouldn’t be  41  to run as well as the other children．So he didn’t know．

In seventh grade he  42  to go out for the cross-country team．Every day he trained with the team．He worked harder and ran more than any of the others．Perhaps he  43  that the abilities that seemed to come  44 to so many others did not come naturally to him．_ 45 __the entire team runs only the top seven runners have the  46 to score points for the school．We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team so he didn’t know．

He  47  to run four to five miles a day every day---even the day he had a fever．I was  48 so I went to look for him after school．I found him running alone．I asked him how he felt．“ 49 ”he said．He had two more miles to go．The  50  ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever．Yet he looked 51  ahead and kept running．We never told him he  52  run four miles with a fever．So he didn’t know．

Two weeks later the names of the team runners were 53  ．Joey was number six on the list．Joey had made the team．He was in seventh grade---the other six team members were all eight-graders．We never told him he couldn’t  54  to make the team．We never told him he couldn’t do it．We never told him he couldn’t do all those things．So he didn’t know．He  55  did it．
