完形填空。
On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three,
1 my husband,
Chris, fell from his horse as it
2 over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down,
3 to
breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of
4 with lots of unexpected
challenges (挑战). We went from the "haves" to the "have-nots". Or so we thought.
5 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of
6 difficulties. We came to learn that
something
7 could happen in a disaster. All over the world people
8 Chris so much that letters and
postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a
9 center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of
10 had been received and sorted.
As
11 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us
12 and became a source of strength for us. We used
them to
13 ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a
14 , or to the
"Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or
15 in bed living happily and
16 .
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so
17 we offer one of them to you. Dear Chris, My
husband and I were so sorry to hear of your
18 accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are
giving you the strength to face this
19 challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day
and we are among those who are keeping you
20 .
Yours Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan
