阅读理解     When Christopher Reeve was picked to play the role of a superhero in films in 1977, audiences across the country cheered. Like Superman, he seemed nearly invincible(不可战胜的). He skied, sailed, flew planes, went diving, rode horses, played tennis, and did them all with skill and ease. No one could imagine Christopher Reeve any other way.     All that changed on May 27, 1995, when Christopher was in a three-day horse riding competition in Virginia. A terrible accident happened to him, which resulted in paralysis(瘫痪) from the neck down and not breathing on his own. Doctors gave him only a 50-50 chance of surviving at all.     Gathering his courage, he began to fight for his life. A few days later, Christopher accepted an operation that helped restore(恢复)some feeling to his upper body. Still, doctors emphasized(强调) his limitations. He would never walk again. He would never even breathe again without the aid of a respirator(呼吸器). But Christopher proved the doctors wrong. Later, he was able to breathe on his own.     Soon after that, Christopher felt ready to face the world again. He had a message to spread. He wanted to tell people that no matter what challenges they faced, they shouldn't give up. Wherever he appeared, his speeches met with ovations(欢呼) and many teary faces. Christopher also went back to work: directing films, which proved he had not lost his creative spark.     Christopher had his share of "down" times, but after the tears, he always said, "And now, forward!" He died at age of 52 on Oct. 10, 2004, after several years of living and working with his severe (严重的)disability.
