Alison Lapper, a very unusual painter, paints pictures for a living. She doesn't use her {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（手）when she paints. She uses her mouth! Alison was born {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（没有）any arms. Her physical problem caused her to spend the first {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（十七）years of her life in a hospital. But this didn't stop her from making her dreams in life come true. She {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（认识到）that even though she was disabled, she could express herself as freely as {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（正常的）people. This was what got her to start drawing paintings.

   Although Alison lives {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（十分）a different life from others, she believes that she can {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（成功）as others. Her paintings are excellent and they do not look like they were drawn by {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（某人）who used her mouth. Alison has become a symbol of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（勇气）. Her active way of living has encouraged many disabled people around the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（世界）and will continue to do so in the future.
