Eleven-year-old Angela was stricken with a disease involving her nervous system.She was unable to walk and her movement was 1 in other ways as well.The doctors did not hold out much 2 of her ever recovering from this illness.They 3 she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.They said that few,if 4 ,were able to come back to 5 after getting this disease.The little girl was 6 .There,lying in her hospital bed, she would swear to 7 who'd listen that she was 8 going to be walking again someday.
The doctors were overcome by her undefeatable 9 and tried every possible way.They taught her about imagining-about seeing herself walking. 10 it would do nothing else,it would at least give her hope and something 11 to do in the long waking hours in her bed.Angela would work as hard as possible in exercise sessions, 12 herself moving,moving,moving!
One day,as she was gathering all her 13 to imagine her legs moving again,it seemed as though a miracle(奇迹)happened:the 14 moved! It began to move around the room! She screamed out, “Look what I'm doing! Look! Look! I can 15 it! I moved! I moved!”
Of course,at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming,too,and running for 16 .People were screaming,equipment was 17 and glass was breaking.You see,it was the San Francisco earthquake.But don't tell that to Angela.She's 18 that she did it.And now only a few years later,she's back in 19 .You see,anyone who can 20 the ground of San Francisco can defeat a little disease, can't they?
