  Eleven-year-old Angela was suffering from illness which was bad to her nerve(神经)system.She was unable to walk and her movement was restricted(限制)in other ways as well.The doctors did not hold out much hope of her ever becoming better from this illness.They thought she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair(轮椅).They said that few, if any, were able to come back to normal after having this disease.The little girl was undaunted(不泄气).There, lying in her hospital bed, she would tell anyone who'd listen that she was surely going to be walking again some day.

  She was taken to a better hospital in the San Francisco Bay area.Every treatment was used in her case.The doctors were pleased and encouraged by her undefeatable spirit.They taught her about imagining(想象)-about seeing herself walking.If it would do nothing else, it would at least give her hope and something helpful to do in the long waking hours in her bed.Angela would work as hard as possible in any proposed treatment.But she worked just as hard lying there carefully doing her imagining, imagining herself moving, moving, moving!

  One day, as she was imagining her legs moving again, it seemed as if a miracle(奇迹)happened:The bed moved!It began to move around the room!She screamed out,“Look what I'm doing!Look!Look!I can do it!I moved, I moved!”

  Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming, too, and running for cover.People were screaming, equipment was falling and glass was breaking.You see, it was the San Francisco earthquake.But don't tell that to Angela.She thought firmly that she did it.And now only a few years later, she's back in school.You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can conquer(征服)such a little disease, can't they?
