郑州市2015年高中毕业年级第三次质量预测英语 第二部分 阅读理解 A As a cross-country skier and member of the Australian ski team heading towards the Winter Olympics, I was on a training bike ride with my fellow teammates. But everything went black. I’d been hit by a speeding truck. I had extensive and life-threatening injuries. I’d broken my neck and my back in six places. I was paralyzed（瘫痪）from the waist down.

Little goals kept me going along the way, and eventually I got my private pilot’s license and became a pilot. Then, I found myself at that same school where I’d gone for that very first flight, teaching other people how to fly, just within 18 months after I’d left the hospital. Then I knew for certain that although my body might be limited, my spirit was unstoppable. I now know that when you ignore what you are, you become what you might be. 21.
