六、任务型阅读（每题2分，共20分）
Ella Dove's first children 's book, How to RollerSkate with One Leg, is an inspiring(激励的) and uplifting story that celebrates friendship, family and overcoming(战胜) challenges. In the book we meet 12yearold Maya Bright who has lost her leg after a road accident on her way to school. Dove is a writer and reporter who lost her right leg aged 25 following a running accident. During her recovery, Dove kept a diary about her experiences and decided that she wanted to help others through her writing, and change people's ideas about what it's like to be an amputee (someone who has had an arm or leg cut off ). Dove says, "I chose rollerskating as the activity that my character learns to do because it's one of the things where you 'd be like, 'you've got one leg, you can't do that!'"
In the story, we join Maya as she excitedly returns to school, only to discover that her best friend has ditched(抛弃) her for a new group of girls. "At that age you're experiencing friendship struggles (挣扎), dilemmas, fitting in and learning who you truly are," says Dove.
When Maya finds a list of fun things she'd like to experience that she made before her accident, she decides she's still going to tick off everything on it by her 13th birthday. Some goals are easy, but others—like learning how to rollerskate—are more difficult with an artificial leg. With the support of family, friends and her own positive attitude(态度), Maya—who Dove describes as a "determined (坚定的) and fun"—finds a way to overcome her challenges. Dove hopes the book will inspire readers to try new things, believe in themselves and depend on their friendships when things get hard.
She says, "Whatever you 're going through, whether it's moving to a new school or a huge thing like an accident, like I had, through difficult times there is always hope. It's going to be ok."
