Question

I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, her doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was1, below the elbow (肘部). Then he gave her some2. “Don’t treat her any3from the other girls. Demand more.” And she4.
My mother had to work to support our family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to5. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the6, “Mom, I can’t peel (削皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.”
“You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as a(n)7for anything again!”
Of course I could peel potatoes with my good hand while holding them down with my other arm. There was always a8, and Mom knew it. “If you try hard9,” she’d say, “You can do anything.”
Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars (高低杠). When it was my turn, I10my head. Some kids11. I went home crying.
After work the next afternoon, Mom took me to the school play-ground.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I practiced, and she12me when I made progress.
I’11 never forget the13time I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.
It was the way with everything. When I14I can’t handle (处理) things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to15anything. And she taught me I could, too.
