閱讀下面的短文，判斷正（T）誤（F）。

My son Joey was born with clubfeet．The doctors told us that he would be able to walk，but would never run very well．By the time he was eight，you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk．

The children in our neighborhood ran around playing，and Joey would join them，run and play，too．We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children．So he didn't know．

In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team．Every day he worked harder and ran more than any of the others．Although the whole team runs，only the top seven runners score for the school．We didn't tell him he probably would never be on the team，so he didn't know．

He went on running four to five miles a day，every day — even the day he had a high fever．I was worried，so I went to see him after school．I found him running alone．I asked him how he felt．“Okay，”he said．He had another two miles to go．Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running．We never told him he couldn't run miles with a high fever．So he didn't know．

Two weeks later，the names of the team runners were called．Joey was Number Six on the list．Joey was on the team！He was in seventh grade — the other six team members were in eighth grade．We never told him he couldn't do it．So he didn't know．He just did it！

參考譯文

我的兒子喬伊生下來就是先天性畸形足。醫(yī)生告訴我們，他能走路，但跑不快。到他八歲時，從他走路的姿勢你看不出有什么問題。

我們這一片的孩子經(jīng)常四處跑著玩，喬伊也和他們一起跑著玩。我們從未告訴過他有可能跑得沒有其他孩子快。所以他不知道。

七年級時，他決定參加越野賽跑隊(duì)。每天他都努力訓(xùn)練，跑得比其他任何人都多。盡管全隊(duì)都在跑，但只有前七名選手才能代表學(xué)校比賽。我們沒有告訴他可能進(jìn)不了賽跑隊(duì)，所以他不知道。

他每天都要連續(xù)跑四五英里，我說的是每天——即使發(fā)著高燒。我很擔(dān)心，于是放學(xué)后去看他。我發(fā)現(xiàn)只有他一個人在跑。我問他感覺如何。“很好，”他說。他還剩兩英里。但他仍然目視前方，堅(jiān)持跑下去。我們從未告訴過他發(fā)高燒就不能跑，所以他不知道。

兩周后，賽跑選手的名單公布了。喬伊排在第6位。他入選了?？伤牌吣昙?mdash;—另外6名隊(duì)員是八年級的。我們從未告訴過他不能入圍，所以他不知道。但他卻成功了。
