| Eleven-year-old Angela was attacked by a rare __1__ involving her nerve system.She was unable to walk and her movement was __2__ in other ways as well.The doctors did not hold much __3__ of her ever recovering from this illness.They __4__ she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.They said that few,if any,were able to come back to __5__ after suffering from this dis ease.The little girl was __6__.There,lying in her hospital bed,she would swear that she was __7__ going to be walking again someday. She was moved to a specialized __8__ hospital in the San Francisco Bay area.Whatever __9__ could be applied to her case were used.The doctors were attracted by her undefeatable spirit.They taught her about imagining about seeing herself walking.If it would do nothing else,it would at least give her hope and something __10__ to do in the long waking hours in her bed.Angela would work as hard as possible in physical treatment,and in exercise sessions. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully doing her imagining,visualizing herself moving,moving,moving! One day,as she was attempting,with all her might,to imagine her legs moving again,it seemed as though something __11__ happened:the bed moved!It began to move around the room!She __12__ out,"Look what I'm doing!Look!Look!I can do it.I moved!I moved!" Of course,at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming,too, and running for cover.People were screaming,equipment was __13__ and glass was breaking.You see,it was the recent San Francisco earthquake.But don't tell that to Angela.She's __14__ that she did it. And now only a few years later,she's back in school,on her own __15__.No crutches,no wheelchair.You see,anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can defeat a little disease,can't they? | |||

| I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes in France. The idea is simple,but revolutionary-combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities. In the afternoons,the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children,and if a child is feeling sad or tired,there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle. There are trips out and birthday parties,too. The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention,and respond well because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance,too. Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this,including the breakdown of the extended family,working parents with no time to care for ageing relations,families that have moved away,and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same-increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless,along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. It's a major problem in many societies. That's why intergenerational_programmes,designed to bring the old and the young together,are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful attempts all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another,perhaps reading with children who need extra attention. |
