阅读理解。     Maricel Apatan, 22, stands in the kitchen of the Edsa Shangi-La Hotel in Manila, preparing to
decorate a cheesecake. It would seem to be a routine task for a cake chef,but Maricel is no ordinary
chef-she has no hands.
     Maricel has come a long way since the day in September 2000 when she and her uncle were
attacked near their farm. Fortunately, both of them survived, but the 11-year-old girl lost her hands.
In 2004,she entered a Manila training centre for people with disabilities. She learned how to write and
do housework and,more importantly, came to terms with her disability.

and flourished even though she was the only disabled student in the course. After she moved back to
Manila to continue her studies, the media started reporting on this determined young woman. She
didn"t shy away from the attention."I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it"s possible to live
a normal life,"Maricel says.
     When managers at the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel saw Maricel on television, they hired her as part of
the hotel"s Care for People project. She has also accomplished her goal of inspiring others. One of them
is Ronelyn Calumpiano, a 21-year-old with cerebral palsy (脑瘫).She saw Maricel on television and
was moved by her confidence. Ronelyn will soon start classes and is already planning a career in IT.
Mericel"s three younger sisters have moved to Manila. She pays for the rent of their small apart-ment,
