题目内容
Years ago I had the opportunity to meet a girl who reinforced my understanding of the power of belief. She was 36 the most powerful person I had ever met. I met Chris for the first time while taking the Dale Carnegie 37 in California.
Our class had already been going for quite some time when 38 , supported by metal crutches（拐杖）, 39 herself in. Chris had cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）. She had many 40 in communicating with others.

No one had taken the time to assist her in developing the ability to 43 . It was Bonnie, her current caretaker, who 44 there was much more to Chris than anyone else gave her credit for.
When asked by the instructor what her goal 45 the twelve-week course was, Chris struggled to respond and became frustrated and 46 in the process. For most of her 47 nobody would listen to her. The only way she knew to get someone to 48 was through temper outbursts. With Bonnie as her interpreter, Chris conveyed that her 49 was to be able to stand by herself in front of forty-five people and tell us about herself.
On the twelfth week, Chris stood in front of the room and 50 with us, in her own words, what her life had been like. It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences I had ever 51 . Though as a girl who had in many ways been 52 , she believed that she could __53__ more in her life and she did. And she also had the love and support of forty-five friends, who, just weeks before, had been 54 strangers.
What we all witnessed through Chris’ courage is that life is 55 moment by moment, based on our beliefs, which are relevant to both our personal and professional direction and have the power to make our wildest dreams come true.
