The model with metal legs
Aimee Mullins is munching French toast at her favorite greasy spoon in Manhattan's West Village.
She's tall, slim and blonde with wide, hazel eyes. It's only when she lifts a leg up on the table and
reminds me that it's fake, that the illusion of physical perfection is shattered.
Aimee, 25, had both legs amputated just below the knee when she was a year old. She was born
without a fibula in her lower legs, possibly caused by her mother taking antibiotics before she knew
she was pregnant.
The next few years were spent in a wheelchair, and doctors warned that she would never walk.
Unfazed, Aimee taught herself to walk with artificial legs and by the age of 10, she was also
running, skiing and playing softball.
"My parents never told me that I couldn't do something," she says. "They expected me to excel."
And she did. Aimee did her internship at the Pentagon, broke world records in the 100 meters, 200
meters and long jump at the 1996 Paralympics, and has been voted one of People Magazine's 50
Most Beautiful People.

a. is ugly. b. is short. c. doesn't have legs.

4. She spent in a wheelchair ___________________.
a. some years. b. 10 years. c. till she was 10.

5. The doctors told her that ___________________.
a. she would walk but not
run.

play sports.
