Susan Patrick, graduate student, became paralyzed from the waist down ten years ago in a parachuting accident. She has been in a wheelchair ever since.
Susan’s accident, however, has not slowed her down. She studies full-time, works part-time, and gets around on her own. She even drives her own car, which has been specially equipped to be operated by hand.
We were interested in seeing how Susan takes care of her day-to-day needs, so we followed Susan on one of her weekly trips to the supermarket to see how she shops. She always shops at the same market because she knows where everything is. She is very systematic about her shopping, and she organizes her shopping list carefully. She shops either early in the morning or in the evening when the store is not crowded.
Susan pushes her shopping basket up and down the aisles with incredible speed. She begins on one side of the store and goes methodically down one aisle and up the next. Some shelves are high for her, but she can push herself up with one arm and reach with the other. Now and then she needs to ask help to reach a can of this or a box of that, but not often.
Susan is incredibly strong. Athletic and active all her life, she now depends on the strength of her arms and upper body. She puts all of her groceries into her car herself, and then carries each heavy bag into her apartment. Her wheelchair, by the way, is completely hand-powered. "My arms ale much bigger than they were before the accident," says Susan. "For the first time in my life I can beat my brothers at arm wrestling!" Our hats off to you, Susan!
According to the passage, we know Susan _______.
选项
A、became a maimed person in an airborne accident
B、was injured in a car accident
C、was born disabled
D、has been in a wheelchair ever since her graduation
答案
A
解析
文中首句“Susan became paralyzed...ten years ago in a parachuting accident”指出,苏珊不是天生瘫痪,不是车辆事故,也不是毕业后就瘫痪的,而是在跳伞事故后成为残疾人的。因此A项正确。
