Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had no legs but stumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him "Ape Man(猿人)" because his arms practically dragged on the ground.
Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheelchair.
Hank felt he himself got cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs(假腿). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror; for the first time he saw himself as what he had always wanted to be—a man full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.
Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.
When World War Ⅱ came,
he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job
. He took the regular training. He marched and trained along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.
It can be inferred from the story that the five-foot-eight-inch height is____________.
选项
A、an average height for a fully grown person
B、too tall for an average person
C、too short for an average person
D、none of the above
答案
A
解析
根据前两段和第三段倒数第二句“…for the first time he saw himself as what he had always wanted to be—a man full five feet eight inches tall,”可知,Hank因为残疾从小受到其他孩子的嘲笑,完成8年的学业后,他靠努力工作读完大学,所以Hank内心一直渴望像正常人一样生活。由此可推知,five-foot-eight-inch height是一个正常成年人的身高。故选A。
