【推荐1】Radio host: Good evening, this is Star Talk. Today we invite our old friend Susan to share her story.

Susan: Good evening. Today I’d like to talk about a girl—Stella Green. She inspired (鼓舞) me most.

I teach climbing in the camp. One morning, we were watching a video about climbing when Stella Green came. She opened the camp door sitting on a wheelchair (轮椅) and told me she wanted to go climbing. We didn’t understand why such a disabled (有残疾的) girl came here.

At first, I was afraid Stella would feel sad. I moved the wheelchair closer to the wall. When Stella stood up, she took the first climbing hold and began to put her feet on the other holds. I soon knew that those legs didn’t need me. They could finish the climbing themselves. And move after move, Stella made me surprised and cry. When reaching the top, she cried out happily.

From this experience, I know Stella and I have a great lesson—never give up (放弃), trust yourself and do all you can.

That’s all. Thank you.
