問題詳情：

I was coaching girls’ track in Iowa and there was a young discus（鐵餅）thrower on the team with 1 potential（潛力）．Here goes her story.

At the end of our training 2 the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she 3 come to the school on Sunday for a little 4 training．I agreed．The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and 5 missed going to the state meet．She had won every discus event, 6 that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had 7 been between 106’1” and 110’10”．

Something began to 8 me．Why couldn’t Lucy 9 to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier（心理的障礙） 10 a physical one．I decided to try something 11 ．I made up my mind to 12 to Lucy.

On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to 13 ?” She began to throw again, but 14 were farther than what she had already thrown．But, I didn’t tell Lucy．As I was measuring the 15 one, I pulled out some more tape （量尺） and yelled out to her, “Come to see this! This one is 16 ! ”It wasn’t．Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in 17 ．

The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy 18 with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her．However, this time she had 19 thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before．
