answered.not quite 5 , but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛) . surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. the third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his 6 became impatient and nervous; the boy used his one move to win the match. 7 amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. this time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more 8 . considered that the boy might get hurt, the referee(裁判员) called a timeout. he was about to stop the match 9 the master

only one 13 ?” “you won for two reasons,” the master answered. “first, youve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. second, the only known defense for that move is for your
