Deng Yaping used to be a well-known table tennis player. In my heart, she is one of the greatest (英雄).

When she was five years old, she (开始) playing table tennis. She (参加) many competitions and won four gold (奖牌) in the Olympics. When she was twenty-four, she stopped playing. After that she studied in Tsinghua (大学)in Beijing and then went (在国外)to study. At first, her English wasn't good (足够). Once again she worked hard and completed her doctor's (学位)at Cambridge University seven years later.

Deng has a strong (意志). (无论什么) she does, she never gives up. She sets a good example for all of us!

Imagine a life without arms or legs! You can't hold anything in your1. You can't walk anywhere with your feet. How would you last a day like that? Would you 2at yourself in the mirror like Nick Vujicic, the 39-year-old Australian?

Nick was born without limbs(四肢), so life was not 3 for him. At school many students played jokes on him 4 he looked different from everyone else. He was refused to be 5 friends, so he always felt 6. However, he faced that bravely. He7to type and write with two toes(脚趾)at the age of six, and he could8surf and play golf. In college, he achieved great success and was one of the9students in the studies. And he decided on10to do later in his life-to encourage others to work hard for their dreams.

Now Nick is one of the most popular 11 in the world. He travels to many countries and gives speeches about his story 12 difficulties. "Living life fully is about looking at what you13, not what you don't have, "he said. His 14 encourages millions of people. "I tell people to keep on getting up when they15 and to always love themselves, "he said. "If I can encourage just one person, then my job in this life is done. "
