完形填空。

Imagine a life without arms or legs! You can’t hold anyone in your       . You can’t walk anywhere with your feet. How would you last a day like that? Would you      at yourself in the mirror like Nick Vujicic, the 29-year-old Australian?

Nick was born without limbs(四肢)，so life was not         for him. At school many students played jokes on him because he looked different from everyone else. He was refused to be their friends, so he always felt       . However, he faced that bravely. He         to type and write with two toes (脚趾) at the age of six, and he could        surf and play golf. In college, he achieved great success and was among the      students in the studies. And he decided on         to do later in his life—to encourage others to work hard for their dreams.

Now Nick is one of the most popular speakers in the world. He travels to many countries and gives speeches about his story against difficulties. “Living life fully is about looking at what you        , not what you don’t have.” He said. His story encourages millions of people.

“I tell people to keep on getting up when they      and to always love themselves,” he said. “If I can encourage just one person, then my job in this life is done.”
