Q. No. (1-5) Read the following passage
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 blamed
herself,’ he said.
‘It was so hard for them but right
from the start they did their best to make me independent.’
‘My dad put me in the water at 18
months and gave the courage to learn how to swim.’
‘I
also got really into football and skateboarding. I totally love the English
Premier League.’
Nick’s
father was a computer programmer and accountant and he taught his little son
how to type with his toe at just 6 years old. His mum invented a special
plastic device that meant he could hold a pen and pencil.
