1、 Eleven-year-old Angela was stricken with a terrible disease. She was unable to walk and she moved only in other ways. The doctors thought she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair, for few, if any, were able to come back to normal after getting this disease. The little girl was brave. There, lying in her hospital bed, she would promise to anyone who'd listen that she was going to be walking again someday.
She was moved to a special hospital. Many ways were used to treat her disease. The doctors there were moved by her undefeatable spirit. They taught her about imagining seeing herself walking. If it would do nothing else, it would at least give her hope and something positive (积极的) to do in the long waking hours in her bed. Angela would work as hard as possible in exercise period. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully imagining herself moving!
One day, as she was trying with all her might to imagine her legs moving again, it seemed as though a wonder happened: the bed moved! It began to move around the room! She shouted out, “Look what I'm doing! I can do it! I moved!”
Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was shouting, too. Many things were falling and glass breaking. It was an earthquake. But she believed that she made it. And now only a few years later, she's back in school. On her own two legs. No wheelchair. You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can defeat an unimportant little disease, can't they?
