　　Ava was ill. She went to see a doctor. The doctor asked her to 1 her tongue（舌头）, and then he said, “OK. You can put your tongue back now. There's 2 wrong with you, but I'm afraid you have a problem: you never take 3 .”

　　“But, doctor,” Ava said, “I don't think so.”

　　“Don't 4 me what you think,” the doctor said, “I see a lot of people 5 you. None of them get any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front of the TV in the evening. You must walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day.”

　　“Doctor, you don't understand.” Ava said, “I take enough exercise every day.”

　　“I don't want to 6 any excuse（借口）,” the doctor said, “You must find time 7 exercise. If you don't, you will get 8 and have health problems.”

　　“But I walk every day,” Ava said.

　　“Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk 9 meters to the bus stop from your house, from the bus stop to your office, and from your office to your dining-room for lunch and back. That's not a real（真正的）walk. I'm talking about a walk by the lake or in the park for 20 minutes every day.”

　　“Would you please 10 me, doctor?” Ava said, “I'm a postwoman. I walk for nearly（几乎）seven hours every day.”

　　For a moment the doctor was silent（无言的）, then he said, “Can I see your tongue again?”

“The only thing holding you back is yourself. Never say never”, said a rising 17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, who was just an ordinary boy in Canada a few years ago.
After the accident of falling from the 18^th floor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands were frozen and my spinal cord (脊髓)was seriously injured. All the doctors and professors in the famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover (康复).
After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises, I could not make any more progress for over a year. What was worse , I suffered a lot from depression (绝望). On top of this, I suffered from insomnia, making every minute of the night seem to last forever. Hopelessly, mom and I came back to my hometown, which is small town in Guangdong.
At that time, I thought that I would never be able to walk again. I would never love and be loved. I would never be able to earn even a penny. I would never be able to repay the kindness I got from my parents and many nice people. Life was meaningless.
Now two years has passed. My hands are 80% recovered. I can even type faster than a healthy person! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already. Although I don’t earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What’s more, I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend. Through my blogs (博客) , many people get to know me and like me. I can bring happiness to them. I can help those who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them….You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed.
So, my friends, never say never. As long as you are alive, there is always hope and possibilities. It is never too late to take action to realize your dreams.     (382 words)
