SECTION – A (Reading
Comprehension)
Q. (1-7) Read the following passage.
Nick Vujicic
was born with no arms and legs-but he doesn’t let the details stop him. The
brave 26-year-old_who is mainly a torso _plays football and golf, swims and
surfs, despite having no limbs.
Nick
has a small foot on his left hip which helps him balance and enables him to
kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between
his toes.
‘I call it my
chicken drumstick’, joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now
lives in Los Angeles. I’d be lost
without it.
Due to his faith
as an Evangelical Christian, Nick has chosen to remain a virgin until marriage.
‘He’s very modest
but he gets marriage proposals from women all the time,; said Nick’s friend and
publicist Steve Appel, from Los Angeles.
‘He would love to
get married and start a family but he’s waiting for the right girl to come
along.’
Water sports
aren’t Nick’s only thing – he also plays golf with a club tucked under his
chin, and is a huge fan of the English Premier League.
His parents
decided not to send him to a special school – a decision he said was very hard
for him, but which may have been the best decision they could have made for
him.
When Nick was
born his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room to vomit. His
distraught mother couldn’t bring herself to hold him until he was four months
old.
His
disability came without any medical explanation – a rare occurrence called
Phocomelia – and Nick and his parents spent many years asking why this cruel
trick would happen to them. ‘My mother was a nurse and she did everything right
during pregnancy but she still blamed herself,’ he said.
