Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life (2)       arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears. (3)       slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. I couldn't get my arms back even though I (4)       every day.
　　However, it's easier (5)       than done. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness (6)      . I got so much from my past story.
　　From then on, I could treat my life with a (7)       mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates (8)       about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes (9)      ; they don't have a mobile phone, but (10)       have, and so on. But I only (11)       life. I was lucky to realize from an accident.
　　It is a waste of our life to focus on what you have (12)      . We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, "My whole life would improve (13)       I have a new car. "But when you get the car and what (14)      ? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.

14．　　Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she's been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
　　The traveler, who was born with a congenital (先天性的) bone disease, lost her right leg at the age of four. Although she had a hard time at first, she now thinks that nothing can stop her living her best life.
　　To spread that message, Gallagher shares photos of her travels around the world online, and writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture. Now she has been taking pictures across Europe, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
　　"I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden idea to get a chalkboard," Gallagher said, "My mom and grandmother didn't like the idea, but my friends liked it and told me to go for it, so I did."
　　Gallagher said people often stared when she was writing on her leg, but once she shared the photos, she received only positive feedback (积极反馈). "My leg hasn't stopped me doing anything I've wanted to do, and I've been able to keep up with my peers (同龄人) and lead a pretty great life."
　　Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if you run into difficulties, get creative with it — because if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.
