My 14-year-old son,John,and I spotted the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It had beautiful tailoring and an unbelievable price: $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing,but John's eyes shone. Dark,woolen topcoats were popular with teen?age boys,but they could cost several hundred dollars now. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side,eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect.

  John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a big grin. "Did the kids like your coat?”I asked. "They loved it”, he said.

  Over the next few weeks? John changed. He was polite,less argumentative,more thoughtful,and on the whole much happier. "Good dinner,mum," he would say every evening. Without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he start on his homework before dinner,John,who always put things off,said, "You're right. I guess I will.”When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers,she joked that the coat must have changed him.

  John and I both know we should never mistake a person's clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see,for practising standards of excellence in thought,speech,and behaviour,and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside.

[文章大意]本文通過(guò)敘述作者與兒子發(fā)現(xiàn)了同一件衣服,并給兒子買了之后,讓兒子的行為有所改觀這件事,作者總結(jié)出:一個(gè)人穿的衣服也能幫助塑造一個(gè)人的內(nèi)在。
