阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Lucy Houk remembers the day four years ago when her fourth-grade classmates chose instruments to
play in the school orchestra(管弦乐队). “Everyone else was picking instruments and having fun and I
couldn t pick one because I couldn t really play any of them,” she said. She longed to play the cello(大提
琴), but the cello requires two hands—one to hold the bow, the other to work the four strings.
Lucy, daughter of Lara Houk and Zak Houk, has one arm—her left—and only a partial right arm.
She was born prematurely at 24 weeks with lots of problems. Lucy s right arm is missing just below the
elbow, but “nothing stops her,” Lara said. “Whatever she wants to do, we find a way to do it. ”
Lucy, an easy-going eighth-grader at Highland Middle School in the Blackhawk School District, said,
“I can tie my shoes. I can jump rope. But what I really wanted was to play the cello, but no one could
think of anything to help me play it back then. ”
Last winter, Eric Baker noticed Lucy. Baker, who joined the district two years ago, is the orchestra
director for fourth through 12th grades. He collaborated ( 协 作) with Dale Moll, a technology and
engineering teacher at the high school, to find a way to make an adaptive bow holder that could be attached
to Lucy s elbow. While a student at Duquesne University, Baker took a class and attended a seminar on
adaptive instruments for students with special needs, but never thought he d have to apply what he
learned—until he met Lucy.
“I hope more people don t think because of their physical limitation that they can t do something.
There are so many ways to work around this kind of thing, especially with all the technology we have
around these days,” Baker said.
The Highland teachers “went above and beyond their normal, average, everyday teaching job to do
something special for Lucy and gave her an opportunity like every other kid,” Lara said.
Today, playing the cello with her classmates, Lucy feels like every other kid.
