【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 At the age of 19, I became a massage therapist(治療師). For the first time in my life, I felt free, independent and pletely in control of my life. That is, until my life took a detour. I was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. Over the course of two months, I lost my spleen(脾), my kidneys, and both of my legs below the knees. One day, I went home. I crawled into bed and this is what my life looked like for the next few months me passed out, escaping from reality, with my legs resting by my side. I was pletely physically and emotionally broken. But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the old Amy and learn to embrace the new Amy. And that is when I began to realize that I didn39。t have to be small any more. I could be as tall as I wanted or as short as I wanted depending on whom I was dating. And if I snowboard again, my feet aren39。t going to get cold. And the best of all, I thought, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes that are on the sales shelf. And I did! I started snowboarding. Then I went back to work. And then I cofounded a nonprofit organization for physical disabilities so that they could get involved in action sports. And just this past February, I won two World Cup gold medals, making me the highestranked adaptive female snowboarder in the world. Eleven years ago, when I lost my legs, I had no idea what to expect. But if you ask me today, if I would ever want to change my situation, I would have to say no, because my legs haven39。t disabled me. They39。ve forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe in possibilities, and that39。s why I believe that our imaginations can be used as tools for breaking through borders, because in our minds, we can do anything and we can be anything. It39。s belief in those dreams and facing our fears directly that allow us to live our lives beyond our limits.（1）What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph3?

I laughed it off at that time, but got frightened when it actually happened in my life. I landed in a small city in the Middle East to set up a firm, a world－class car rental firm. Having decided on the project, I earnestly settled in preparation. With a positive mind, I told myself nothing should stop me now, and was more than keen to make it a success. However, the least expected thing happened. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Tension ran high in the region. Eventually the war broke out, and many people fled the country, leaving my firm in deep trouble. As usual, things bee difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even water down your goals and ambitions. I was no exception. I thought of running away. I remembered the words of Thomas Edison, Many of life39。s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to succeed when they gave up. I decided to hang on, telling myself, I am not afraid of challenges and obstacles. I stayed on through months of uncertainty and insecurity. Finances ran low, and banks could not wait to get their dues. To add to all this, the banks even threatened to take all my vehicles. I felt I made a wrong decision to move there.
