In January 1955, Jill Kinmont, then 19, seemed certain to make the United States Olympic ski team. Since age twelve, she had focused on this goal. Throughout high School in Bishop, California, she had competed at most Western ski areas, including Mammoth Mountain, Sun Valley, Aspen, Jackson, and Brighton. She had won both the women’s and the junior national slalom (障碍滑雪) championships before traveling to Alta, Utah, to compete in the pre-Olympic tryout (选拔赛). As Jill says, "Skiing was it —everything —my world."
Jill’s world collapsed on January 30 when she skied off the Alta run and landed helpless on the slope. Her fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical vertebrae (颈椎骨) were broken. For days, Jill hovered between life and death. By April, it became clear that she would be paralyzed from the shoulders down.
Jill underwent rehabilitation (康复) therapy. with cheerful determination. She learned to write, to type, and to feed herself. Once she had mastered daily living skills, she enrolled in the University of California at Los Angeles, where she studied art, German, and English. After overcoming yet another personal tragedy, the death of her boyfriend in a plane crash, Jill graduated in 1961.
By this time, Jill had chosen a new career goal: teaching elementary school children. Officials at UCLA, however, rejected her application for admission to the graduate school of education because of her paralysis. But she persevered, working with children in the UCLA Clinic School. When her family moved to Seattle, Jill was able to fulfill her new dream. She attended the School of Education at the University of Washington and began her new life’s work as a teacher.
It could be inferred from the passage that ______.

B、Jill would totally recover from her paralysis because she underwent rehabilitation therapy with cheerful determination
