my 14-year-old son john阅读理解

My 14-year-old son John and I noticed the coat at the same time in a second-

hand clothing shop．It stood out among big and old coats．The coat was black

and beautiful．The price was also unbelievable low．John's eyes shined．Dark，

silk coats were popular with school boys，but they could cost several hundred

dollars new．He put it on and the fit was perfect．

John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a big smile，

"Did the kids like your coat？"I asked．"They loved it．"He said．

Over the next few weeks，John changed．He was polite，more thoughtful，

and much happier．"Good dinner，Mom．"He would say every evening．One

day when I suggested that he could start on his homework before dinner，John

said，"You're right，I guess I will．"However，John always put things off in

the past．

When I talked to one of his teachers about these differences，she joked that

the coat must have changed him．John and I both know that clothes do not

change a person，but if it makes a person feel good，it has its own magic．And

if you feel good，you'll look good．That is how the magic works．
