题目内容
6.Like many people,I've always seen the Olympics as the"main"sporting event held every four years-the headline act-and the Paralympics(残奥会) as something of an"add-on"-the supporting act.If you are not disabled it is hard to understand some of the games and the athletes movement problems.But being in the host city for these Paralympics changed my views.I came to realize these athletes were nothing short of superheroes.Lacking physical abilities that able-bodied people take for granted,they made up for them and then some.They tested their physical ability to extremes that the Bolts and Phelpses of this world never have to.
If some Olympics runners had to be double-amputated (双侧截肢),I wonder if they would tie two carbon fiber blades (碳纤维刀片) to their knees like Oscar Pistorius,also known as Blade Runner,of South Africa,and relearn everything that once came naturally.
If some Olympic swimming heroes suddenly went blind,would they have the courage to still swim fast through the water,not knowing when they would reach the end of the pool?Would any of us be brave to face a life-changing experience like a car crash?And not only get our lives back on track but then try to be the best at a sport?
"What Paralympic sport would you do if you were disabled?"was a question I posed today.It's not something you would normally think about.You don't watch TV as a kid dreaming to be a Paralympician.But it takes more than early mornings,training programs and special diets to get to the Paralympics.It takes a tragedy or loss that will have been worked through and overcome.
Skiing is terrifying enough if you have all your faculties.Standing at the top of a ski slope,it's a war of wills for most people to start,but Canada's Donovan Tildesley,who has been blind from birth,revealed to a China Daily reporter that not only did he already ski,but he also wanted to take it up competitively.
Superheroes indeed,each and every one.The Paralympics should be renamed the"Superlympics".It's nothing to do with the equality denoted by the Greek"para",it's about"super"ability,courage and strength that most of us,the top able-bodied athletes of the world included,will never have to.
It's worth remembering that many Paralympics suffered horrific injuries while living life to the full.You don't get paralyzed (瘫痪的 ) sitting at home playing video games.And having lived life to the full they are not prepared to stop.That's we talked about"Paralympic spirit"
I only hope that if life dealt me or my loved one,we would handle them in the same way as these outstanding men and women.

In October 2013,Davion Only spoke in front of a church congregation (会众) in St.Petersburg,Florida,and made an(41)C for adoption.He had recently learned that his(42)A mother,who'd been in jail since Only was born,had died.He had spent years bouncing between foster homes."My name is Davion and I've been in foster care since I was born,"he said."I know God hasn't given up on me,so I'm not giving up either."

But this past July,when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him,Going says something felt (51)A."In adoption there is a‘claiming moment,'when you know someone is your child.When he called me to ask,in that moment,I just knew,"she says."When he asked me,my heart felt this (52)C and I just knew he was my son."
