Question

One day, our teacher said that he had an exercise for us to try. We were to stand,facing away from our classmates, and fall backward, relying on(依賴(lài))another student to catch us. Most of us were uncomfortable with this. We couldn't fall back for more than a few inches before stopping ourselves.

Finally Judy stood up. She is a thin, quiet, dark-haired girl who always wears big,white fisherman sweaters. Judy crossed her arms over her chest, closed her eyes, leaned back, and did not flinch(退縮). She looked like one of those Lipton tea commercials(廣告) where the model jumps into the pool.

For a moment, I was sure she was going to thump(重重砸)on the floor. At the last moment, her partner caught her head and shoulders and pulled her up immediately.

“Wow!”several students yelled. Some clapped their hands. Our teacher finally smiled. “You see,”he said to the girl, “you closed your eyes. That was the difference.Sometimes you cannot believe what you see. You have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too-even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling.”
