A

     A boy lost his arms in an accident. Since then, he has had to depend on his younger brother. He became his shadow (影子)， never leaving his side for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was unable to do anything else. As the two brothers grew up together, they had their own problems and would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother went away and lived alone. The boy was heart-broken and didn’t know what to do.

     A similar thing happened to a girl. One night, the girl was preparing dinner when it caused a fire. The fire took her hands away. Though her elder sister wanted to take care of her, she refused. At school, she studied hard. She learned to be self-reliant. “I am lucky. Though my hands are broken, my heart can still fly,” she wrote on her blog.

　　　One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to be interviewed for a TV program. The boy told the TV host about this uncertain future, while the girl was full of love for her life. They were both asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: “ My younger brother’s arms are my arms.” While the girl wrote: “Broken wings, flying heart.”

　　　They had both gone through the same hard times, but their different attitudes decided the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unexpected. Disasters (灾难) can strike at any time. How do you deal with the misfortune (不幸) when faced with it is the test of your character.
