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.”

(A) Have you ever had an embarrassing（尴尬的）experience?
Tony: I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn't ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing and laughing! Why? Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!
Henry: After seeing a film, we decided to walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress that she liked in a shop window, and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife's hand. There was a loud scream(尖叫), and a girl slapped(掴) my face！I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a girl!
James: I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment (约定)to see our bank manager. I'd never met him before. I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I'd just started reversing(倒车) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was so angry! I shouted at the man in the car. He ignored(不理) me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager's office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!
