Sudha Chandran, a classical dancer from India, had to have her right leg cut after a car accident.She was also cut off on her bright career road.
However, she didn’t stop struggling. In the painful three months that followed, Sudha met a doctor who had an operation on her leg. So strongly she wanted to go back to dancing after she had been fitted with a man-made leg. Sudha knew that she believed in herself and could realize her dream,so she began her brave journey back to the world of dancing — learning to balance, bend, stretch,walk, and turn.
After every public recital (个人表演), she might ask her dad about her performance. “You stillhave a long way to go” was the answer she used to get in return. In January 1984, Sudha gained popularity again by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great manner that it moved everyone to tears and this performance pushed her to the number one position again. That evening when she asked her dad the same question, he didn’t say anything. He just touched her feet as a praise.
Sudha’s comeback was so touching that a film producer decided to make the story into a film,which has moved more and more people.
When someone asked Sudha how she had managed to dance again, she said quite simply, “YOU DON’T NEED FEET TO DANCE.” Nothing is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win,you can achieve anything.

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must understand the language when we hear 46 spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it correctly with confidence and without hesitation. 47 ,we must be able to read the language , and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct.
There is no easy way to succeed 48 learning a language. 49 good memory is of great help, but it is not enough only 50 (memorize) rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long list of 51 (word) and their meaning, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are 52 (satisfy) with only a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of 53 (advise) for those 54 are studying a new language. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and 55 (write) the language whenever we can.
To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot, and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? I'm not sure about it.
Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”

A. don't realize the importance of music
