To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist. There was a time, of course, when I d
98、idnt believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place back in 1953. At that time I was a high school student. I was a funnylooking little boy named Eugene Orowitz, who weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every ot
99、her department I was a loser. I desperately wanted to fit in, to be something and to do something well. But I hadnt found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the schools running track. The gym teacher taught us all various track and field events. I was a loser in a
100、ll of them. Then came the javelin(标枪). Suddenly something inside me began saying, “Try it! Try it!” I had to wait for my turn though, because several others wanted a break at the javelin too. Shy and scared, I watched them, trying not to look too eager. Finally, after everyone had had a chance to th
101、rowthe best throw going about 30 yardsI looked at the teacher. “Hey, Orowitz, you want to try?” he asked. Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head. “Well, come on then,” he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing. As I grasped
102、the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feelinga newfound excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed about what I was about to do, even though Id never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me int
103、o throwing it now told me it was a good throw.答案Paragraph 1:I watched as the javelin took off. My heart quickened as I saw it continue to sail 30 yards out, and then 40. As it went past the 50yard mark, it was still going. For a minute nothing was said. Then someone whispered, “Holy cow!” and others
104、 began cheering. Nobody could believe what little Eugene Orowitz had just done. I took the javelin back to the gym teacher. “You keep the thing,” he said, still shaking his head in wonder.Paragraph 2:That night I took the javelin home with me. The very next day I began practicing with it, and every
105、day that summerfor six hours or moreI would throw it in a nearby schoolyard. By the time I was a member of the track team, all my practice paid off. I threw the javelin 211 feet that year, the best throw by any high school boy in the country. I strongly trust that we must keep our mind open. And we cant let ourselves be discouraged or depressed when a talent doesnt readily appear.
