The first program was a dance named "The light of life". To my surprise, all the dancers had lost one of their legs. As they were performing, I could see how they had to face so many difficulties. However, they showed us an amazing performance.The two people who came out next shocked us all. The first one was a singer. He was very young but unluckily he had lost both of his hands in a big fire. The song he sang for us was "Late Autumn" and he sang it in such a low and sweet voice. Though it was warm spring, I felt a little cold when I heard the song as if it was really late autumn. "How much love and feeling is hidden in my heart? I wish to hold your hands again." Hearing this, I couldn't keep back my tears.The other one was also a young man. He lost both of his arms when he was six. From then on, his feet became his "hands". He could do a number of things with his feet. What moved us most was that he was able to write with his feet. The two words "Flying High" expressed his wish."If your wings are gone, your heart can still fly," said Zhang Haidi, a disabled writer. In the world, there are many disabled people, yet most of them don't give up. They have strong wishes and beautiful dreams. Disability doesn't mean failure. Once you try hard, miracles will happen sooner or later. I believe where there is a will, there is a way.1.The teachers and students ___ last week.A. saw a filmB. held a partyC. watched a football matchD. watched a performance2.Why did the writer feel cold when he heard the song "Late Autumn"?A.
