The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.To spread that message. Gallagher has gone to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of simply using a geo-tag(地理位置标签), she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture.Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the beautiful Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river ride in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board,” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmother didnt like the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”Gallagher said people often stare when shes writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback(反馈), “My leg hasnt stopped me from doing anything Ive wanted to do,” she said. “I dont know if its my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, anyway, Ive been able to keep up with people at my age and lead a pretty great life.”Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams.

Gallaghers Summer HolidaysDEvery year from March to October, Christian Moullec, also known as “Birdman,” flies to the sky aboard his light aircraft. However, the 58-year-old Frenchmans daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks (鸟群) of lesser white-fronted geese (小白额雁) through safe migration(迁徙) paths which the birds can teach future generations.His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wild. To prevent their numbers from dropping, Moullec tried to get the geese to follow him during migration that would protect them from bird hunters.However, getting adult geese to follow his lead is challenging. As young geese learn and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.To help raise funds and awareness of his job of protecting not just the geese but other birds worldwide as well, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, can enjoy a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.He often brings his camera along for the flights, taking photos not just for the breathtaking scenery, but for what they convey(传达). Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “Its a disaster,” he said. “My beautiful pictures with flying birds should be used to tell this story. ”32. Why does “Birdman” always fly to the sky on his aircraft?A. To observe geese along their migration routes.B. To follow geese through safe migration paths.C. To take visitors to operate his adapted aircraft.D. To guide geese fly safely during the migration.33. What do we know about “Birdman”？A. He is a nature lover. B. He is a bird watcher.C. He is a volunteer pilot. D. He is a bird hunter.34. What does Moullec often take photos in his flights for?A. Recording the use of agricultural chemicals.B. Showing serious damage caused by chemicals.C. Describing his experiences with flying birds.D. Capturing the beautiful views of birds and cities.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Birdman Guides Flocks to Learn to Fly.B. Birdman Finds Birds Disappearing.C. Birdman Helps Flocks Safely Migrate.D. Birdman Protects Birds From Hunters.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Public Speaking TrainingGet a coach36 ，so get help.
