I had an unusual conversation with a woman about physical limitations. Nancy suffered   31  a serious disease and she could no longer walk. She spent her   32  (wake) hours in a wheelchair.
“I’m not ‘confined (限制)’ to a wheelchair,” she insisted one day. “It doesn’t confine me but   33   (set) me free.”
She asked me, “Do you want to know   34   reason for living?”
“What is it?” I wondered.
“To liberate people. To set them free. Before I got my wheelchair,” she explained, “I had trouble getting around. Now I can go places! However I can free people, I want to do   35  .”
“People speak of being ‘shut in,’” she continued. “People   36   are confined to a room or a house or a bed are not ‘shut in.’ They’re ‘shut out’ – shut out of activities and shut out of people’s lives. So my aim is to liberate people, to set them free, however I can.”
Because of her disease, Nancy now helps people find ways of gaining more physical   37   (free).
Listen to these words from Darwin P. Kingsley: “You have powers you never dreamed   38  . You can do things you never thought you   39 do. There are no limitations in   40   you can do except the limitations of your own mind.”
