5．I was on my way to work on a two-wheeler one day when a truck rammed （撞上） into me and completely crushed my leg．It wasn't the driver's fault----there was a pillar that blocked his view．
People around immediately took me to the hospital and even though it happened around 9：30am I was only operated on at 5：30pm．The doctors tried to save my leg，but after a few days it got infected and it had to be amputated （截肢）．When the doctor told me，I asked him，"Why did you take so long？I knew for a while that this would happen．"
What got me through all this suffering was acceptance----that this is my fate，and now I can either choose to cry about it，or take it positively and push myself …I chose the latter．In fact，when people used to come to visit me in the hospital and get emotional，I would tell them jokes to make them laugh!
So I took the physiotherapy （物理疗法），and began to learn how to walk all over again．My biggest fear was that I wouldn't be able to play badminton，which has been my passion since childhood----but somehow even while I was facing difficulty in walking …I could still play．
I began winning corporate badminton tournaments，and on the suggestion of one of my amputee friends，I decided to try out a national level．I went on to win several medals at the national level，and this year I won silver in the Para Badminton World Championship held in England．I've trained for five hours a day，while doing my job as a software engineer，almost completed my training in scuba diving and travelled pretty much all over India．
When people ask me，"How do you do so much？"I just ask one question，"What's stopping you？"

3．Have you seen the movie The Shawshank Redemption？If so，you might be moved by Andy，who tries to earn freedom by escaping the hopeless prison．It is hard to imagine what life would be like in prison．However，Old Melbourne Gaol gives us such a chance．It is a museum in Melbourne，which served as prison between 1842 and 1929．
We experienced being prisoners in the prison．All of us were asked to put down our belongings and then we were checked．We couldn't hide anything．After a while，we were given cards with fake names and charges．We read the information loudly and then the"police"explained it in a funny way．For example，a gentleman's charge was carrying an illegal weapon，which was actually just an umbrella．
Soon we were divided into groups and went to different rooms in the prison．The light was off inside．We could not see anything．All we could hear was our breath．It was the longest five minutes of my life．I was in a tiny room with a number of strangers．I could feel the same depression as the prisoners．The police finally opened the door and led us to the activity area．We relaxed in the sunlight and decided to behave ourselves in the future．
I think Australian museums are quite interesting．They not only add modern technology to historical relics，but also hold various activities for visitors．
