“My parents always 39 me that I was only as handicapped（残疾的） as I wanted to be,” said Roger. “They never allowed me to feel sorry for myself or 40 advantage of people because of my handicap. Once I got into 41 because my school papers were continually late,” explained Roger, who had to hold his pencil with both arms to write   42. “I asked Dad to write a note to my 43, asking for a two-day extension on my assignments（作业）. 44, Dad made me start writing my paper two days early!”

I’ve 54   learned what I can’t do ― such as play the piano or eat with 55.”
