The beginning of a Frank Sinatra song drifted across the dance floor and I knew my dad would call out and request that, which for most people is very 36 .
As he walked towards me to ask for the first 37 , I could see there were 38 in his eyes .I grasped the side of my chair, 39 myself up with my arms ,and grabbed the two metal sticks which keep me 40 as I stood to take his hand.
It took all my will to 41 my own tears and inside a voice kept 42 : “Don’t fall over ,Martine.” We grabbed each other and in some way shuffled（穿梭）out a dance for the whole of the song.
For my dad, it was a turning point. He had 43 his friends on his 70th birthday he would lead his daughter in the first dance, 44 he had done so many times before .Almost a year after the suicide bomb on the London Underground train which blew 45 both my legs above the knee ,I had managed to realize his 46 .Like so much that has happened over the last 12 months, there was something 47 about the moment.

Despite my brave claims of what I would do when I left the hospital in March, the reality is that I will 54 be able to do many things .I thought I would be able to wear my artificial legs all day ,to run ,to go out alone. But that is just not possible.
I keep asking myself, 55 does it become normal? Is this normal now?

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him 36he thought he was able to be so much more 37than the average person.
He 38that it all came from a(n) 39with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he 40the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came in, 41shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful 42you have made! I have 43seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 44. Would you like to get down and 45in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to 46everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.
His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a 47experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two 48hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he 49the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 50!
This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be 51to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 52for learning something new, which is, 53, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't 54," we usually learn something 55from it.

In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine, a 36 was lying on the grass, reading a book with 37 concentration. Near her, another child was carefully watering the flowers, while a third was 38with his back against a tree and had a 39 on his knees. He appeared to be drawing or writing something on it.

And if every child could learn in the same way as the children in the school I visited, they would develop better.
