A. Back in the Game I will never forget the night in 1946 when disaster(灾难) and difficulty visited our home. My brother,Gorge, came home from football practice and fell ill with temperature of 40C. After an examination, the doctor informed us that it was polio(小儿麻痹症). Polio was well_known in Webster Groves, Missouri, having killed and crippled（使残废）many children there. The doctor felt(义不容辞的）to inform George of the terrible truth. I hate to tell you this, son he said, but the polio is so bad that you will probably never walk again without a limp（跛行）, and your left arm will useless.
