I’m not sure that I shall learn it. I could not remember it after I had learned it. My memory is so bad.” “If I were to promise you a holiday on the thirtieth of the month after next, do you think you would forget the date?” “No. I am sure that I should not.” “You are first-rate at skating, and flying your kite, and playing ball games, aren’t you?” “Yes, Father.” “And you cannot learn your lesson? My dear boy, you are deceiving yourself. You can learn well as anyone else, if you only try.” “But haven’t I tried, Father?” again asked George. “Well, try again. Come, for this afternoon lay aside that kite you are making, and give another effort to get your lesson ready. Be serious, and you will soon learn it. To show you that it only requires perseverance (毅力), I will tell you a story.” Many years ago, one of the dullest boys went up to repeat his lesson one morning. As usual, he did not know it.” Go to your seat!” said the teacher angrily. The poor boy went back to his seat, and bent his eyes again upon his lesson. “It is of no use. I cannot learn,” he said in a whisper to a friend who sat near him. “You must try hard,” replied the kind-hearted boy. “I have tried, but it is of no use. I may just as well give up at once.” “Try again, Henry!” whispered his friend in an encouraging tone. These two little words gave him great encouragement. Gradually he began to find the sentences lingering (继续存留) in his memory. Soon to his surprise and pleasure, the lesson didn’t seem so difficult and he could repeat the whole lesson. 1．Which of the following is George good at? ①Skating. ②Flying his kite. ③Playing ball games. ④ Repeating his lesson.
