Nicolai Calabria has already become one of the best 106-pound wrestlers. He has successfully climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Africa, and most importantly, he’s changed the attitude of any normal person who watches him compete.

The 17-year-old teenager has one leg. He was born that way, but his goal is to show it’s not the one thing that defines him. He would also be the first one to tell you that he just wants to prove to others and himself that he’s just like other normal ones.

When Calabria was young, his parents tried different prostheses(假肢）to find out which was most comfortable for their son as he tried to keep up with a family, who has a preference for sports.

At first, the Calabrias had their middle child in a prosthesis that looked and functioned like a “real” leg, but soon they decided to choose a different path when they found it wasn’t beneficial to his movement. Then the family moved him to arm crutches（手杖）and from there a new burst of energy was found.

Getting others to believe that he could take off on the soccer field took a little bit longer. When the Calabrias moved to Concord, they had a hard time convincing the town soccer programme to allow a child like him to compete with able-bodied kids. After months and months of debates and meetings, the family received the answer they were looking for. Since then, witnessing a young man on crutches who competes against those with two legs has become a fixed event in the Concord community. “At that time I had nothing but discouragement working with the soccer community; however, now I have nothing but admiration for the fact that he’s been allowed to play, and people see that he adds value to the game,” his father said. “I just think it’s a great result.”

24. This passage shows us a boy with one leg __________. A. can do what a normal teenager can B. is realizing as many dreams as he can C. can make a sport event more valuable D. can add value to society

25. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that __________.

A. Calabria proved to be the most excellent player of the team B. it was not easy for Calabria to be accepted to the town’s soccer team C. Calabria’s parents didn’t allow him to play soccer at first D. there are some other disabled children in the soccer team

26. In Paragraph 5, the underlined part “a fixed event” probably means __________. A. a must-see B. a planned programme

C. an extra game D. a special occasion

27. It is implied in the last paragraph that Nicolai’s father __________. A. has been discouraged since Nicolai played soccer B. thinks that Nicolai is playing a key role in the team C. is very delighted that Nicolai can play soccer in the team
