四．阅读理解（ 共15 小题，每小题 2 分， 满分30分 ）

A

Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but he doesn’t let this stop him.

The brave 26-year-old man plays football and golf, and swims, in spite of the fact that he has no arms or legs.

Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and makes him able to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up.

“I call it my chicken drumstick (鸡腿下段),” joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los Angeles. “I’d be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 percent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller (螺旋桨).”

“He’s very modest, but he gets marriage proposals (求婚) from women all the time,” said Nick’s friend Steve Appel.

“He would love to get married and start a family, but he’s waiting for the right girl to come along.”

When Nick was born his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room. His distraught mother couldn’t bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.

His disability came without any medical explanation, which was a rare case. Nick and his parents spent many years asking why this cruel trick would happen to them.

“My mother was a nurse and she did everything right during pregnancy but she still blamed herself,” he said.

“It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. My dad put me in the water at 18 months and gave me the courage to learn how to swim.”

56. We can learn from the text that Nick _____.

A. has a poor sense of balance

B. understands his mother very well

C. considers his small foot ugly

D. is disappointed with his health condition

57. What can we learn from what Steve Appel said?

A. Nick Vujicic is serious about his marriage.

B. Nick Vujicic is not popular with women.

C. Nick Vujicic is afraid of starting a family.

D. Nick Vujicic is not willing to get married.

58. The underlined word “distraught” in the text probably means _____.

A. cold-blooded B. bad-tempered C. really shy D. extremely upset

59. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Nick’s parents couldn’t afford the hospital bill.

B. Nick is living in Melbourne, Australia now.

C. Nick’s father was to blame for his disability.

D. Nick learned to be independent at a young age.
