Ⅳ.Read the following passage and search for the information to complete the sentence.
(阅读下面的文章，从中获取信息，完成下面的句子。

A truly great song can never be heard too many times. This is certainly true of Gloria Estefan’s song “Reach”, which she sang at the closing ceremony of Atlanta Olympic Games earlier this year. Now the American singer’s voice will be reaching us via(通过) the sound waves of Joy FM.
Gloria Estefan is no stranger to us as her album(歌集) “Destiny” has held a place on China Chart for five weeks running since its release(发行) in China. Lines like “I’m gonna(going to) be stronger,know that I’ve tried my very best, I’d put my spirit to the test if I could reach,” talk of the struggle for strength and spirit that the singer has experienced first hand. Gloria Estefan broke her back in a bus accident and had to have an operation in which a pair of eight-inch steel rods were attached to the base of spinal cord(脊髓).Showing great determination and bravery, Gloria went into her music room in Miami only three months after her operation to start work on a new album. Her album “Into the Light ” was released just ten months later and its songs reflect her struggle to recover. As reward for all her efforts, Gloria has become the most popular and successful Latin singer and song writer on the pop scene. She has had several No.1 hits and plenty of top 10 singles. Her husband Eilio Estefan produces much of her music. Gloria’s music varies from intimate ballads to fast-beat Latin music reflecting her Latin-American roots.
