41.High School English Reading Listening

Nicolai Calabria has already become one of the best 106-pound wrestlers. He has successfully climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Africa, and most importantly, he's changed the attitude of any normal person who watches him compete.
　　The 17-year-old teenager has one leg. He was born that way, but his goal is to show it's not the one thing that defines him. He would also be the first one to tell you that he just_wants_to prove to others and himself that he's just like other normal ones.
　　When Calabria was young, his parents tried different prostheses(假肢)to find out which was most comfortable for their son as he tried to keep up with a family, who has a preference for sports.
　　At first, the Calabrias had their middle child in a prosthesis that looked and functioned like a “real” leg, but soon they decided to choose a different path when they found it wasn't beneficial to his movement. Then the family moved him to arm crutches(手杖) and from there a new burst of energy was found.
　　Getting others to believe that he could take off on the soccer field took a little bit longer. When the Calabrias moved to Concord, they had a hard time convincing the town soccer programme to allow a child like him to compete with able-bodied kids. After months and months of debates and meetings, the family received the answer they were looking for. Since then, witnessing a young man on crutches who competes against those with two legs has become a_fixed_event in the Concord community.
　　“At that time I had nothing but discouragement working with the soccer community, however, now I have nothing but admiration for the fact that he's been allowed to play, and people see that he adds value to game，” his father said. “I just think it's a great result.”
译文：
尼古拉-卡拉布里亚已经成为最好的106磅摔跤手之一。他已经成功地爬上了非洲最高的山顶，最重要的是，他改变了任何观看他比赛的正常人的态度。
　　这位17岁的少年有一条腿。他生来如此，但他的目标是表明这并不是定义他的一件事。他也会是第一个告诉你，他只是想向别人和自己证明，他和其他正常人一样。
　　当卡拉布里亚还小的时候，他的父母尝试了不同的假肢，以找出对他们的儿子来说最舒适的假肢，因为他试图跟上一个家庭的步伐，而这个家庭对运动有偏爱。
　　起初，卡拉布里亚夫妇为他们的中年孩子安装了一个看起来和功能都像 "真正 "的腿的假肢，但很快他们就决定选择不同的道路，因为他们发现这对他的运动没有好处。然后，家人把他转移到了手臂拐杖上，并从那里发现了新的活力。
　　让别人相信他可以在足球场上起飞，则需要更长的时间。当卡拉布里亚夫妇搬到康科德时，他们很难说服镇上的足球项目允许像他这样的孩子与健全的孩子竞争。经过几个月的辩论和会议，这个家庭得到了他们所寻找的答案。从那时起，见证一个拄着拐杖的年轻人与那些有两条腿的人竞争已经成为康科德社区的一个固定事件。
　　"他的父亲说："当时，我对足球界的工作除了灰心之外一无所知，然而，现在我对他被允许参加比赛的事实只有钦佩，人们看到他为比赛增添了价值。"我只是认为这是一个伟大的结果"。
