完形填空
My name is Nick Vujicic, an Australian who was born without any limbs(四肢). In recent years one of my most 1 videos on YouTube shows my skateboarding, surfing, playing music, and best of all, 2 hugs from all fields of great people.
All in all, those are pretty ordinary 3 that just about anyone can do, right? So 4 do you think that video has been viewed millions of times? My theory is that people are 5 to watch it because in spite of my physical limitations, I’m living 6 I had no limits.
People often think someone 7 a severe disability to be inactive, upset, maybe even crazy. But I’d like to 8 them by showing that I lead a very adventurous and fruitful life.
Among the hundreds of 9 on that video, here’s one typical remark: “Seeing a guy like this being happy makes me wonder why I feel 10 for myself sometimes—or feel not funny enough, or whatever. How can I 11 think thoughts like that when this guy is living without limbs and still being happy? ”
I found happiness when I realized that 12 as I may be, I am the perfect Nick Vujicic. I’m designed 13 God’s plan. That’s not to say that there isn’t 14 for improvement. I’m always trying to be better so I can better 15 the world!
I do believe my life has no 16 . I want you all to feel the same way about your life, no matter what your challenges may be. As we 17 our journey together, please take a moment to 18 about any limitations you’ve placed on your life. Now think about what 19 would be like to be 20 of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible?
