Isabel Powell likes to swim. It’s a(n)1 thing that she shares with a movie star she’ll
be meeting later this year—a star whose life story is coming to a theater near you this month.
Who’s the star? A dolphin named Winter. And 2 is not the only thing that she and Isabel have in common.
Winter lost her 3 when she was a baby. She got it caught in a trap used to 4 crabs. Isabel, who had a similar experience to Winter, once had a 5 life. 6 , when she was 2 a tumor(腫瘤)on her foot 7 her leg.
Now, both Winter and Isabel 8 artificial limbs. In Isabel’s case, it’s an artificial leg and foot. In Winter’s case, it’s an artificial tail.
In November, Isabel will travel from her home to Clearwater, Florida, to 9 Winter. Clearwater is the site of the aquarium(水族館)where Winter has lived since she was 10 from that trap.
According to the Kitsap Sun, the meeting was set up by the man who designed Winter’s artificial tail—Kevin Carroll. Carroll also 11 artificial limbs for people.
He and Isabel 12 met last month in Bremerton, Washington, at the 13 where she got her artificial leg, which freed her of the 14 that had troubled her for years. 15 Carroll met Isabel and found out she wants to be a veterinarian (獸醫(yī)), he decided to set up the meeting.
She 16 people who’ve lost limbs by 17 them they can still do the things they used to do. According to the Kitsap Sun, she plays softball, 18 karate competition and chases after her dog, too. For years, she didn’t know anybody else who had an artificial limb. Now, she’s about to meet a movie star who has one, too.
And she no longer feels so 19 . “I think it’s pretty cool,” Isabel told Kitsap Sun reporter Chris Henry. “Winter has an artificial tail. That makes me think that I’m not the only 20 one. There are thousands more.”

  About a month ago I was present at a solemn occasion--the reading of a will. I can remember one passage that particularly struck me. It ran something 1 this:“And I direct that £500 be 2 to old William B, whom I have wished to help for many years, 3 always put off doing so.”

  It was the Voice of Opportunity 4 written by Beyond. But the story doesn't 5 there. When the lawyers came to 6 out the bequest (遺贈), they discovered that old William B had 7 too, and so the 8 deed was lost.

  I felt rather 9 about that. It seemed to me a most regrettable 10 that William would not have had his £500 just 11 somebody kept putting 12 giving it to him. And from 13 accounts, William could have done with the 14 . But I'm 15 that there are thousands of kindly little deeds waiting to be 16 today, which are being put off“ 17 later”.

  George Herbert, in praise of good intentions, 18 that“One of these days better than 19 of these days.”But I say that 20 is better than all.
