全优点练单元计划系列答案I stood outside New York's Madison Square Garden and just stared, almost speechless. I was a farm boy from County Kilkenny, a child who some thought would never walk, let alone go as far as I had in the world.
From the day I was born, there was a problem. The doctors at the Dublin hospital told my parents I had phocomelia, a deformity that affected both legs below the knee, which were outward and shorter than normal and each foot had just three toes.
Life was tough. I couldn't stand, much less walk. I rarely, left the farmhouse---and then only in someone's arms. Mam bundled me up whenever she took me to town, no matter the season.
“The world will see him when he can walk,” she told Dad. “And he will walk.”
Mam devoted herself to helping me. She tried everything to get me on my feet. When I was three, she and Dad took me to a clinic in Dublin.
A few weeks later we returned to Dublin with my artificial limbs (肢). Back home I practiced walking with my new limbs.
“There's nothing anyone can do but you can't,” Mam said. “You and I are going to walk through town.”
The next day Mam dressed me in my finest clothes. She wore a summer dress and fixed her hair and makeup. Dad drove us to the church. We stepped out of the car. Mam took my hand. “Hold your head up high, now, Ronan,” she said.
We walked 300 meters to the post office. It was the farthest I'd walked, and I was sweating from the effort. Then we left the post office and continued down the street, Mam's eyes shining with a mother's pride.
That night, back on our farm, I lay exhausted on my bed. It meant nothing, though, compared to what I'd done on my walk.
Then I began to pursue my dream of singing. And at every step Mam's words came back to me—Ronan, you can do anything anyone else can do—and the faith she had in God, who would help me do it.
I've sung from the grandest stages in Europe, to music played by the world's finest musicians. That night, I stood at the Madison Square Garden, with Mam's words chiming in my ears. Then I began singing. I couldn't feel the pulse of the music in my feet, but I felt it deep in my heart, the same place where Mam's promise lived.

The beginning of a Frank Sinatra song drifted across the dance floor and I knew my dad would call out and request that, which for most people is very 36 .
As he walked towards me to ask for the first 37 , I could see there were 38 in his eyes .I grasped the side of my chair, 39 myself up with my arms ,and grabbed the two metal sticks which keep me 40 as I stood to take his hand.
It took all my will to 41 my own tears and inside a voice kept 42 : “Don’t fall over ,Martine.” We grabbed each other and in some way shuffled（穿梭）out a dance for the whole of the song.
For my dad, it was a turning point. He had 43 his friends on his 70th birthday he would lead his daughter in the first dance, 44 he had done so many times before .Almost a year after the suicide bomb on the London Underground train which blew 45 both my legs above the knee ,I had managed to realize his 46 .Like so much that has happened over the last 12 months, there was something 47 about the moment.
Today, on July 1, as I face the first anniversary of the terrorist 48 , I am preparing to leave the country for a while. I know I 49 be celebrating the fact that I am alive, 50 I do not feel able to remain in
Psychologically, I am a different person. I am very body conscious. When I go out I am 51 that children will make fun of me on my artificial legs. In my wheelchair I cover my lower half with a blanket 52 what remains of my body draws 53 glances.
Despite my brave claims of what I would do when I left the hospital in March ,the reality is that I will 54 be able to do many things .I thought I would be able to wear my artificial legs all day, to run ,to go out alone. But that is just not possible.
I keep asking myself, 55 does it become normal? Is this normal now?
