Breakthrough of Middle School English (6) 【经典格言】： What?pains?us?trains?us. 使我们痛苦的东西在真正锻造我们。 A father was worried about his son, who was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk to train his boy. The Buddhist monk said to the boy’s father, “You should leave your son alone here. I’ll make him into a real man within three months. However, you can’t come to see him during this period. ” Three months later, the boy’s father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the boy and an experienced boxer. Each time the fighter struck the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up; and each time a punch knocked him down, the boy stood up again. Several times later, the Buddhist monk asked, “What do you think of your child?” ?What a shame!” the boy’s father said. “I never thought he would be so easily knocked down. I needn’t have him left here any longer.” ?I’m sorry that that’s all you see. Don’t you see that each time he falls down; he stands up again instead of crying? That’s the kind of courage you wanted him to have.” 词汇积累： 第一部分：阅读理解和完形填空练习 A Mr Brown quarrelled with his wife.
