Question

【題目】George Dennehy was born with no arms. He never dreamed he would become a musician. But that is what he has become. He was born in Romania. And because of his poor condition, his parents sent him to an orphanage (孤兒院), where George was adopted (領(lǐng)養(yǎng)) by a family in America.

Early on, George’s parents saw musical abilities in him. “When I was 8 years old, my mum took me to have cello (大提琴) lessons,” he said. Though he didn’t really enjoy it, he seldom missed any lessons.

His first teacher helped him be able to play with his feet. Soon he was very good at it. At the beginning of high school, when the cello became “not so cool” to play, George began to play the guitar. “It was a lucky thing to learn the cello first,” he said. This made playing the guitar not so hard.

Playing music hasn’t been an easy road. He was shy at first. “I did face different challenges and didn’t know if I was going to make something of myself,” he said. But these doubts didn’t stop him. Every time he got on stage to play music, he could see how the audience (觀眾) admired his abilities. This made him feel confident of himself and encouraged him to continue his career.

George said that the secret of his success was being able to overcome (克服). “No matter what situation you’re in, anything is possible. It is so easy to give up sometimes, but we shouldn’t do that. We believe there is more that is meaningful for us,” he said.

試題分析：喬治丹尼希一出生就沒(méi)有手臂。他從來(lái)沒(méi)有想到他會(huì)成為一個(gè)音樂(lè)家。他出世在羅馬尼亞，因?yàn)闂l件很差，他的父母送他去孤兒院，在那里被一個(gè)美國(guó)人領(lǐng)養(yǎng)。在早期，喬治的父母看到他有音樂(lè)天賦。當(dāng)8歲的時(shí)候，媽媽帶他去學(xué)習(xí)大提琴，盡管他并不真的喜歡它，他很少錯(cuò)過(guò)一節(jié)課。他的第一個(gè)老師幫助他用腳去拉大提琴，并很快熟練了它。在高中開(kāi)始，喬治開(kāi)始彈吉他。每次他在舞臺(tái)上演奏音樂(lè)，他看到觀眾稱贊他的能力，這給了他信心和鼓勵(lì)他繼續(xù)他的職業(yè)生涯。喬治說(shuō)他成功的秘訣是能夠克服。無(wú)論什么情況，任何事情都是可能的。它是那么容易放棄的時(shí)候，但我們不應(yīng)該這樣做。
