(2018·福州普通高中毕业班质检)Aerial(空中的) performer Jennifer Bricker was born without legs, but she never let it stop her.
Wrapped in a loop(圈) of red silk hung from the ceiling, Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music. Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back, high above the ground—a move that is all the more daring becau she has no legs.
Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker. She had big brown eyes, a bright smile, and huge amounts of energy. When a doctor advid her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket(桶), 日语量词they refud.

At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs, but she never really took to them—she moved more freely without them.
In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta. Jennifer loved to watch the women’s gymnastics team, and especially adored the 14yearold Dominique Moceanu who competed for the U．S. When Moceanu and the women’s team won the gold, Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast, too. She took up power tumbling, which involves performing floor exercis down a runway. But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability.
At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was the tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.
