George Dennehy was born with no arms. He never dreamed he would become a musician. But that is what he has become. He was born in Romania. And because of his poor condition, his parents sent him to an orphanage (孤儿院), where George was adopted (领养) by a family in America.
Early on, George’s parents saw musical abilities in him. “When I was 8 years old, my mum took me to have cello (大提琴) lessons,” he said. Though he didn’t really enjoy it, he seldom missed any lessons.
His first teacher helped him be able to play with his feet. Soon he was very good at it. At the beginning of high school, when the cello became “not so cool” to play, George began to play the guitar. “It was a lucky thing to learn the cello first,” he said. This made playing the guitar not so hard.
Playing music hasn’t been an easy road. He was shy at first. “I did face different challenges and didn’t know if I was going to make something of myself,” he said. But these doubts didn’t stop him. Every time he got on stage to play music, he could see how the audience (观众) admired his abilities. This gave him confidence and encouraged him to continue his career.
George said that the secret of his success was being able to overcome (克服). “No matter what situation you’re in, anything is possible. It is so easy to give up sometimes, but we shouldn’t do that. We believe there is more that is meaningful for us,” he said.

根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。
When someone asks you to do something you do not want to do, what should you do ? I think it’s better to more time on some useful activities. So you needn’t waste your time. Maybe it’s a
idea to say “no” at this time. However, you may worry that others will think you impolite or unkind.
should you do? Here are some suggestions that may help you.
It’s OK to make up white lies. That doesn’t mean you are dishonest. , it may make both you and the other person pleased and comfortable. When you are invited to a party or some other events that you do not want to take part in, you can say, “No, but thanks for the invitation. That’s very kind of you.”
this way you can not only refuse politely but make the person who invites you feel comfortable.
When you don’t want to lie, just tell the truth. You may say like this, “ I want to have more time for myself, I’ve decided to say ‘no’ to these activities.” In this way, people will see that you respect yourself, and then they will also pay you much respect.
My last is to just do it. You may feel uncomfortable at first, but this is not the reason for saying “no”. Never make anything more complicated (复杂的)than it is.
Feel proud of for being strong enough to say “no”.
