　　Eleven-year-old Angela was suffering from illness which was bad to her nerve(神经)system．She was unable to walk and her movement was restricted(限制)in other ways as well．The doctors did not hold out much hope of her ever becoming better from this illness．They thought she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair(轮椅)．They said that few, if any, were able to come back to normal after having this disease．The little girl was undaunted(不泄气)．There, lying in her hospital bed, she would tell anyone who'd listen that she was surely going to be walking again some day．

　　She was taken to a better hospital in the San Francisco Bay area．Every treatment was used in her case．The doctors were pleased and encouraged by her undefeatable spirit．They taught her about imagining(想象)－about seeing herself walking．If it would do nothing else, it would at least give her hope and something helpful to do in the long waking hours in her bed．Angela would work as hard as possible in any proposed treatment．But she worked just as hard lying there carefully doing her imagining, imagining herself moving, moving, moving!

　　One day, as she was imagining her legs moving again, it seemed as if a miracle(奇迹)happened：The bed moved!It began to move around the room!She screamed out,“Look what I'm doing!Look!Look!I can do it!I moved, I moved!”

　　Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming, too, and running for cover．People were screaming, equipment was falling and glass was breaking．You see, it was the San Francisco earthquake．But don't tell that to Angela．She thought firmly that she did it．And now only a few years later, she's back in school．You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can conquer(征服)such a little disease, can't they?

　　I was born in New York, but I grew up in Sam Francisco. I began to live in London 25 years ago. If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But will always be American.

　　San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn't go to school. I only had three hours of formal (正规的) education when five. I was sent to school but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didn't enjoy it and hadn't learned anything. My parents decided that school was not fit for me and I never went back.

　　My mother then taught me and my two sisters, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking ,my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I'd like to have it. I couldn't say my“r”when I was small. My mother said if I could say an“r”well, I would have the toy train. I practised and practised. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my“r”s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life-but I work hard for them.
