Unit 1 Living well Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2018·浙江诸暨中学高三段考)Aerial(空中的) performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs, but she never let it stop her. Wrapped in a loop(圈) of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music. Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back，high above the ground—a move thats all the more daring because she has no legs. Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker. She had big brown eyes, a bright smile, and huge amounts of energy. When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket(桶), they refused. Jennifer soon learned to walk—and run—on her hands and bottom, and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline(蹦床) with her three older brothers. “My parents didnt treat me differently so I didnt grasp the concept that I was different. I knew I didnt have legs but that wasnt stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do.” At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs, but she never really took to them—she moved more freely without. In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta. Jennifer loved to watch the womens gymnastics team, and especially adored the 14–year–old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US. When Moceanu and the womens team won gold, Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast, too. She took up power tumbling, which involves performing floor exercises down a runway. But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability. At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois. Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer. 语篇导读　本文为记叙文。詹妮弗·布里克一出生就失去了双腿，但是她被养父母当作普通孩子抚养长大，并成为了一名优秀的体操运动员。如今，她作为一名励志演说家和空中表演者游历世界。 1．What do we know about Jennifer Bricker?
