Everybody, at some point in his or her life, has experienced setbacks. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting lower marks even after hard work. How you get back up after being hit makes you successful.
Once, a young schoolboy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence, firmly determined. He did this every day, with faith in himself that he would be able to walk unaided. With his iron determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk on and off, then to walk by himself and then to run.
He began to walk to school, and then ran to school, and then ran for the joy of running. Later in college he was in the track team.
In February 1934, in New York City's Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run—this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world's fastest mile.
A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration(鼓舞人心的人) for many, and his story is brilliant evidence to show how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are piled on one, to the degree that death seems the preferable option.
1．What was the doctor's opinion about Glenn?
A．Glenn was able to walk with his own great effort.
B．There was a slim chance that Glenn could survive.
C．Great determination could make a difference to Glenn.
D．Glenn could live a normal life with the upper half of his body.
2．What do we know about Glenn?

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过讲述Glenn Cunningham在火灾中受了重伤后顽强幸存下来，并用自己的意志力克服困难，努力训练双腿，最终成为一名优秀的田径运动员的事迹，告诉我们：想要成功，你要在被打击后重新站起来。
1．B 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“His mother was told that he was sure to die”和第三段中的“Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive”可知，医生认为Glenn幸存的可能性很小。故选B。
2．D 根据最后一段中的“A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in oneself, Glenn Cunningham continues to be an inspiration(鼓舞人心的人) for many”可知，Glenn以他感人的故事激励着人们。故选D。
