And then I cofounded a nonprofit organization for physical disabilities so that they could get involved in action sports.

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?

However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off. Shades of that spirit spread over today39。s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked lightheartedly out of the door, piic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, Oh, boy, bad day for a piic. The weatherman says it39。s going to rain. I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile. Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, Oh, that bus left five minutes ago. Dreams of headcutting! It39。s not the news that makes someone angry. It39。s the unsympathetic attitude with which it39。s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn39。t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver. Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you39。re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn39。t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist (拳頭) right on their unsympathetic faces. Had my neighbor told me of the uping rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, Oh, that39。s all right. I39。ll catch the next one. Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轟炸的) person is sure to have.（1）In the writer39。s opinion, his neighbor was . A.friendlyB.warmhearted
