Ⅰ.阅读理解
Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but the brave 32 year old man plays football and golf, swims, and surfs. Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and enables him to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.
“I call it my chicken drumstick，” joked Nick. “I'd be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 per cent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller (螺旋桨)．”
When Nick was born, his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room to vomit. His distraught mother couldn't bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.
“It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. My dad put me in the water when I was 18 months old and gave me the courage to learn how to swim，” said Nick.
Throughout his childhood Nick dealt with the typical challenges. At the age of seven, Nick tried out some specially designed electronic arms and legs, in the hope that he would be more like other kids. During the short trial period of the electronic arms and legs, Nick realized that even with them, he was still unlike his peers at school, and they turned out to be much too heavy for Nick to operate, affecting his flexibility quite significantly.
“When I was 13 I read a newspaper article about a disabled man who had managed to achieve great things and help others，” said Nick. “I realized why God had made us like this — to give hope to others. It was so inspirational to me that I decided to use my life to encourage others and decided to be thankful for what I do have, not get angry about what I don't.”
“I tell people to keep on getting up when they fall and to always love themselves，” he said. “If I can encourage just one person then my job in this life is done.” By now, he has visited 35 different countries, touring the world as a motivational speaker.
1．What makes it possible for Nick to swim in the water
A．His small size. B．His small foot.
C．His light weight. D．His big lungs.
2．The underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．
A．cold blooded B．bad tempered
C．really crazy D．extremely upset
3．Nick abandoned the electronic arms and legs because ________.
A．his family couldn't afford them
B．his classmates didn't like them
C．they were too heavy to handle
D．they affected his appearance
4．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Nick's parents were very strict with him.
B．Nick's family accepted his disability at his birth.
C．Nick's mother was to blame for his disability.
D．Nick learned to be independent at a young age.
