She tried to cook meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister Susan showed her willingness to take care of her, Rosa decided to be    42    independent. And most of all she learned to do things on her own. Once she wrote the following in her composition: “I’m lucky. Though I lost my arms, I still have legs. Though my wings are broken, my heart can still     43  .”
　　One day，Joe and Rosa were both invited to a television interview program. Joe told the TV host about his     44    future at being left on his own, while Rosa was full of hope for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. Joe wrote：My younger sister’s arms are my arms;     45     Rosa wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.
They had both stood the same sufferings, but their different     46    determined(决定) the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unpredictable. How you deal with misfortune is the true test of your character. If you choose only to complain and run away from the suffering，it will always     47    you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.
