（2024·北京）24-year-old Victoria Arlen has a saying: “Face It, Embrace It, Defy It, Conquer It.”
This attitude is what drove her to overcome disability and become a Paralympic gold medal
swimmer, a TV programme hostess, and a motivational speaker.
Arlen was an active child who enjoyed swimming and dancing. 1 , when she was
11 years old, she suddenly got 2 . Her condition got worse and worse until she fell into a
coma (昏迷). Three and a half years later, her mind awoke but her body didn’t. She could 3
the outside world, but no one was aware of this. She recalled hearing doctors tell her family she
probably wouldn’t 4 it. She said, “I was constantly fighting this pull to just give up, but
I had so much I wanted to live for.”
5 , Arlen’s family never gave up on her. One day in 2010, Arlen was finally able to
send a 6 to them: she blinked (眨眼). After that, she slowly learned how to move, eat,
and speak again. She was practically her old self, except that her legs were paralysed (瘫痪的).
Doctors said she would be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life, but she didn’t let this get her
7 .
Although unable to walk, Arlen was excited to return to her 8 life. She went back
to school and worked hard to 9 . She also got back into the pool, learning to swim
without the use of her legs. Two years later, she competed in the 2012 Paralympic Games in
London, 10 three silver medals and a gold medal. After her success in the
Paralympics, Arlen’s 11 story spread. She began to speak at events and on
television. One TV programme took notice of her, and she became one of their youngest hosts
ever at age 21. During all this, Arlen never gave up on 12 again. Eventually, she
found a paralysis recovery centre willing to help her try to get back on her feet. After intense
training, she learned to walk even though she still couldn’t feel her legs. She 13
learned to dance and competed in “Dancing with the Stars”, a childhood dream of hers.
Today, Arlen is devoted to 14 others. She founded Victoria’s Victory
Foundation to help those dealing with disability and has continued to inspire people with her
amazing story of perseverance (不屈不挠的精神). For her, it’s all about giving others 15and showing them that nothing is impossible.
