My son Joey was born with club feet(天生特厚的畸形脚). The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk1 , but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were 2　 in surgery(手术). By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a 3　 when you saw him walk.

The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during 4　 , and Joey would jump right in，run and play, too. We 5　 told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to 6 as well as the other children. So he didn’t know.

In seventh grade he 7　 to go out for the cross?country team. Every day he 8　 with the team. He worked harder and ran 9　 than any of the others - perhaps he sensed that the 10　 that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. 11 the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential (潜能) to 12 points for the school. We didn’t tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn’t know.

He13 to run four to five miles a day, every day - even the day he had a 103?degree fever. I was 14 , so I went to look for him after school. I found him 15　 all alone. I asked him how he felt. "Okay," he said. He had two more16　 to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. 17　 he looked straight ahead and kept running.

Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were 18 . Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in　 19　 grade - the other six team members were all eighth?graders. We never told him he shouldn’t 20　 to make the team. We never told him he couldn’t do it...so he didn’t know. He just did it.
