閱讀原文： 標(biāo)題 Practice doesn’t always make perfect – that‘s why you’re not in the Olympics 正文Stefan Holm was told he was too short to be a high jumper. But by the time he won Sweden a gold medal in the 2004 Olympics, he had honed himself into the perfect projectile. It was the result of a 15-year obsession: his whole life had been pulled into alignment with this goal. If he wanted to stop on page 225 of a book, he would push himself to page 240, in order to train his mind to overshoot. “It’s all about your 10,000”. There had been jumpers who had beaten him when he was young, and where were they now? 知識點hone v. /ho?n/ to develop and improve sth, especially a skill, over a period of time磨練，訓(xùn)練（尤指技藝） ?
