Ⅰ.阅读理解

When Rebecca Saxon was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 27，she thought her life was over.But in her darkest hour，inspiration struck and she found a way of turning her misfortune into advantage.

Following her cancer treatment，Rebecca launched a successful business “Something Blue Bridal Shoes”—a unique range of wedding footwear，which came out of the fashion pictures she drew while recovering in her hospital bed.

Rebecca，from London，says，“I started designing wedding shoes with blue soles (鞋底) when I was halfway through my cancer treatment.I had a hit when I was diagnosed with cancer but I decided that I was going to pick myself up and fight this cancer.The pictures were my release and the way I got through the many hours spent in a hospital room.I had no idea what was going to happen to me，but I knew I had to be positive if I was going to overcome this treatment.I told myself this was not going to be the end for me.I decided to fight with my negative feelings and start draw ing.”

Rebecca had always loved fashion since she was younger.Several of her friends were getting married at the time when she was ill.“So at first，I would be drawing designs for wedding dresses and other clothes.But then I started drawing wedding footwear—designing shoes with blue soles which were very comfortable too.I thought it would be a lovely way of combining the ‘something old，something new，something borrowed，something blue’ tradition.Drawing really helped me deal with my treatment，” said the bra ve girl.

With the encouragement of her boyfriend，she turned her dreams into her reality and set up “Something Blue Bridal Shoes”．Each beautiful shoe has a blue sole，combining the age－old tradition of what a bride should wear at her wedding for good luck.
