Dear Auntie Em，
Great news! Mrs Mumford just told me I had been chosen as one of the school （61） （student） to visit the University of Cape Town in South Africa this summer! She said the program （62） （design） for some of the brighter teenagers to experience a different culture．（63） a good chance!
The only problem is：mom and dad （64） （simple） won't let me go．They said it was dangerous for me，a girl，（65） （travel） alone．But my guess is that they think it too expensive．I kept telling （66） （they） I had been on a plane alone to visit you in Texas before．They needn't worry about me（67） this trip would be almost the same as that one．（68） ．They just won't listen!
Will you help，Auntie Em？It will be （69） very important experience to my personal growth．
Love，（and love you even （70） （much） if you manage to make mom & dad agree with me．

Alison Lapper，a very unusual painter，paints pictures for a living．She doesn't use her （51） （手）when she paints．She uses her mouth! Alison was born （52） （没有）any arms．Her physical problem caused her to spend the first （53） （十七）years of her life in a hospital．But this didn't stop her from making her dreams in life come true．She realized that even though she was disabled，she could （54） （表达） herself as freely as normal people．This was what got her to start drawing paintings．
Although Alison lives （55） （十分）a different life from others，she never loses her heart．She （56） （相信）that she can succeed as others．With great efforts，her paintings skills have reached a high （57） （水平） and her paintings do not look like they were drawn by （58） （某人）who used her mouth．Alison has become a symbol of （59） （勇气）．Many disabled people have been cheered up by her （60） （积极的）way of living and become more confident．
