Sudha Chandran, a well-known dancer from India, had to have her right leg cut after a car accident. She was also
on her career path.
Though the accident brought her bright career to a
, she didn’t give up. In the
months that followed, Sudha met a doctor who developed a man-made rubber
filled with sponge (海绵). So
she wanted to go back to dance after she had been fitted with her new leg. Sudha knew that she believed in herself and could realize her dream, so she began her courageous journey back to the world of dancing ---
to walk, turn, jump, balance, bend, stretch, twist, twirl...
After every recital (music, dance given by one person) she would ask her dad about her performance. “You
have a long way to go” was the answer she used to get in return. In January 1984, Sudha made a historic
by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great success that it moved everyone to tears and this
pushed her to the highest position again. That evening when she asked her dad the
question, he didn’t say anything. He just touched her feet as praise.
Sudha’s comeback was so moving that a film producer
to make the story into a hit film.
When someone asked Sudha how she had managed to dance again, she said quite simply, “You don’t need feet to dance.
is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win, you can achieve anything.” (266)

“You are my best friend.” It’s the nicest thing you can 36 to someone. It’s also the nicest thing you can 37 someone.

When the ambulance (救护车) arrived a few minutes later, they said she was . I was a real mess. I had to see a psychologist (心理医生) for the rest of the summer.

The One Moment
A large crowd of anxious teenagers tried to crowd into the huge building all at once, but, of course, were unsuccessful. I got out of my mom’s silver Volvo and in the middle of the parking lot, examining the old building. What was beyond those , red double doors? I didn’t have an answer. My feelings were indescribable. I was nervous, but at the same time. Knots(结) were turning inside my stomach. My curiosity was getting the better of me. I got the to walk up to the doors, but I couldn’t open them just yet. I had to pause (stop) and . Whatever lay beyond those doors could change my forever! I didn’t know what the results would be. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to imagine them . My trembling arm and took hold of the handle. A gust of wind blew into my face I opened the door. My heart was rapidly and I stopped breathing. I stepped forward with my right foot and the door shut me. The nervousness left my stomach, but the excitement with me. I had finally entered high school. I had been waiting for this moment my whole life.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens. However, we often look at the door so long that we can’t see the one that has been opened for us. It’s true that we don’t know we’ve got until we lose it, and it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been until it goes away.
Giving someone all your doesn’t mean that they’ll love you back. Don’t expect love in return. Just for it to grow in their hearts.
There are many moments in life when you miss someone so much that you want to bring them into your and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, and what you want to be, you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
Happiness lies in those who have cried, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can understand the of their lives. The future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can’t go on well in your life until you let your past failure and heartaches go.

Each time I saw children games, and heard their laughter, I I were that age again. However, I remembered my parents’ words--You must work very hard have a good future. So I up my pen and began to study hard again.
