If life were a book and you were the author, how would you like the story to go? That is the question that __2 1 __ my life forever. One day I went home from the training of snowboarding with what I thought was the flu, and less than 24 hours later, I was in a __2 2 __ on life support with less than two percent __2 3 __ of living. It wasn ' t until days later that the doctors diagnosed me with a __2 4 __ blood infection. Over the __2 5 __ of 2.5 months, I lost the hearing in my left ear and both my legs below the knee. When my parents __2 6 __ me out of the hospital, I __2 7 __ that I had been put together like a patchwork ( 拼缝物 ) doll and I had to live with __2 8 __ legs. I was absolutely physically and emotionally broken, __2 9 __ streaming down. But I knew in order to move forward, I had to let go of the Old Amy and __ 30 __ the New Amy. It was at this moment that I asked myself that significant __ 31 __. And that is when it __ 32 __ me that I didn ' t have to be five­foot­five anymore, __ 33 __ I could be as tall as I wanted. And __ 34 __ of all, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes. So there were __ 35 __ here. Four months later, I was back upon a __ 36 __. And this February, I won two Board World Cup gold medals, __ 37 __ me the highest ranked snowboarder in the world. So, instead of looking at our __ 38 __ and our limitations as something __ 39 __ or bad, we can begin looking at them as a wonderful __ 40 __ that can be used to help us go further than we ever know we could go. 1 A.saved B . risked C . ruined D . changed 2 A.hospital B . club C . field D . stadium 3 A.thought B . degree C . chance D . decision 24 .
