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.

2、 For hours after their boat sank, Ken Henderson and Coen trod(踏) water in the Gulf of Mexico, talking about life and death while struggling to survive. For more than 30 hours, it worked.

Then Henderson was forced to make a decision. “I’m going to go for help or you’re not going to make it,” Henderson told Coen, just before cutting the strap(带子) that connected them in the deep, cold waters. “I understand,”Coen responded, giving Henderson a last set of instructions, “Kiss my babies for me.”

Days after the fishing trip ended in tragedy, Henderson told the story for The Associated Press. They had been fishing for a few hours when suddenly Coen noticed the boat was filling with water. Henderson got both motors roaring, only to have the saltwater that had leaked in break them straight away…Coen jumped to the right, his sunglasses and cap flying off. The two grabbed extra life jackets and other floating items, including a half full bottle of Diet Coke.

“The water was so cold and it took your breath away,” Henderson said. They immediately began to tremble.

The pair prepared for a long wait. And they talked.

“We discussed things and discussed life. We discussed families. We just tried to keep occupied,” Henderson said.

Eventually Coen started hallucinating(有幻觉). Henderson tried to keep Coen’s arms and legs moving. But as morning came,Coen’s situation worsened. And so Henderson decided to cut the strap.

His legs was so weak that he could barely lift them. Henderson slowly pulled himself up the rig’s ladder.

It was over 50 miles from where they had gone in the water.

All he could think of was Coen. Convinced his friend would survive, he told the coast guard where they had parted.

Two hours later, a fisherman found a body in a life jacket.
