George Dennehy was born with no arms. He never dreamed he would become a musician. But that is what he has become. He was born in Romania. And because of his poor condition, his parents sent him to an orphanage (孤儿院), where George was adopted(领养) by a family in America.
Early on, George's parents saw 1. ________ abilities in him. “When I was 8 years old, my mum took me to have cello(大提琴) lessons,” he said. Though he didn't really enjoy it, he seldom missed lessons.
His first teacher found his 2. ________ in music and helped him be able to play with his feet. Soon he was very good at it. At the beginning of high school, when the cello became “not so cool” to play, George began to play the guitar. “It was a lucky thing to learn the cello first,” he said. “This made playing the guitar not so hard.”
Playing music hasn't been an easy road. He was shy at first. “I did face different challenges and didn't know if I was going to make something of myself,” he said. But these doubts didn't stop him. Every time he got on stage to play music, he could see how the audience admired his abilities and enjoyed his 3. ________ music. This gave him confidence and encouraged him to continue his career.
George said that the secret of his success was being able to overcome difficulties. “No matter what situation you're in, anything is possible. It is 4. ________ that it is so easy to give up sometimes, but we shouldn't do that. We believe there is more that is meaningful for us,” he said.

答案： 1. musical 2. gift 3. pleasant 4. common
