阅读下面的短文，判断正（T）误（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！

参考译文

我的儿子乔伊生下来就是先天性畸形足。医生告诉我们，他能走路，但跑不快。到他八岁时，从他走路的姿势你看不出有什么问题。

我们这一片的孩子经常四处跑着玩，乔伊也和他们一起跑着玩。我们从未告诉过他有可能跑得没有其他孩子快。所以他不知道。

七年级时，他决定参加越野赛跑队。每天他都努力训练，跑得比其他任何人都多。尽管全队都在跑，但只有前七名选手才能代表学校比赛。我们没有告诉他可能进不了赛跑队，所以他不知道。

他每天都要连续跑四五英里，我说的是每天——即使发着高烧。我很担心，于是放学后去看他。我发现只有他一个人在跑。我问他感觉如何。“很好，”他说。他还剩两英里。但他仍然目视前方，坚持跑下去。我们从未告诉过他发高烧就不能跑，所以他不知道。

两周后，赛跑选手的名单公布了。乔伊排在第6位。他入选了。可他才七年级——另外6名队员是八年级的。我们从未告诉过他不能入围，所以他不知道。但他却成功了。
