1982, one of the first questions he asked was: "Will I still be able to ski?"
Soon, Milton, who grew up in a skiing family and had hit the hillside from the age of three, saw a video
of a one-legged skier that would change his life. After missing a winter of sport following his operation (手术),
the Australian young man gave it a try.
By 14, Milton was skiing in his first international competition (国际比赛), the 1988 Winter Olympic
Games at Innsbruck, Austria. Just four years on, he became Australia's first gold medal (金牌) winner in France.
But trying to make a living from the sport he loved seemed to be a far more icy matter. For year, Milton
had to do his best to make ends meet, mending cars, working as a gardener and in ski shops. At one point he
was so poor that he needed to win a place in an American skiing competition to win enough money for the plane
ticket home.
But the skier who can hold his own in able-bodied speed-skiing events, thinks overcoming (克服) low
public expectations of what people with disabilities (残疾) can do is a greater obstacle (障碍) than being poor.
It's a problem that he is meeting with all the time.
He says most people with disabilities don't want to be treated differently than others. "It's the environment
around you that helps you to try. My biggest goal is to raise (提高) the expectations of the public as to what
people with disabilities can do."
Milton has won 10 Olympic and 11 world championship (锦标赛) medals and in April last year became
the world's first disabled person to ski at more than 200 km/h, reaching a surprising 210.4 km/h. His next goal
is the record of 212.26 km/h held by Australia's fastest able-bodied skier, Nick Kirshner. He'll then be the fastest
Australian skier ever.
B. When he was fourteen.
C. In 1992.
D. 8 years after his operation.
B. It's difficult for him to make the ends meet.
C. People don't believe what the disabled can do.
D. It's impossible for him to ski with the able-bodied.
B. to show he is different from other skiers
C. to help other disabled people stand up
D. to make the public give up wrong ideas
B. Milton will give up skiing after he reaches more than 212.26 km/h.
C. Few people think that Milton's dream will come true in the end.
D. Thanks to Milton's work, the public environment has become better.
say what they mean at work, Robert Phipps, a UK body language expert, tells you how to understand it.
If someone has the same idea as yours, they'll often have the same posture (姿势) as yours. But if a
person's body and feet are turned away from you even though they're looking at you, it means they'd rather be
moving the way their feet are pointing.
Most people cross their arms if they have different ideas. So even if someone says they agree with you,
if they then cross their arms they really don't. So try to find out what's the matter with them or draw them out
by handing them something to look at or asking them to do something, such as writing something down.
If you're training someone, it's useful to know how their mind works. If a person's eyes move up and to
the left while you're talking to them, they think of information actively, if the eyes only move left they think of
sounds, but eyes moving to the right and down shows they learn through their feelings.
When people are lying, they don't often use their hands naturally but make a lot of hand-to-face gesture
(手势). Hands or fingers covering the mouth means what they are saying is not true.
Tilting (倾斜) the head to the side shows and interest in what's being said. When people drop their heads,
they are showing they don't agree with you. Using a hand to support (支撑) your head means you're feeling
tired.
B. not everyone can speak the same language
C. sometimes people aren't going to talk with each other
D. sometimes what we say is different from what we mean
B. he has the same idea
C. he isn't telling the truth
D. he is thinking actively
B. His head.
C. His hands.
D. His feet.
B. Try to find out what his real idea is.
C. Ask him to read something instead.
D. Let him have a rest for a while.
