【解析】本篇短文講述沒有四肢的澳大利亞人Nick Vujicic如何自強不息，和困難作斗爭，以及他用自己的故事鼓勵了更多的人的故事。

1.本句句意：你不能擁抱任何人；hold sb. in one’s arms符合句意。

2.本句句意：你會像29歲的澳大利亞人Nick Vujicic一樣對著鏡子中的自己笑嗎？smile at sb.意為“對某人笑”，符合句意；注意：laugh at sb.意為“嘲笑某人”。

3.沒有四肢的人生活自然不容易(not easy)。

4.句意為：在學校，很多學生開他的玩笑因為他看起來與其他每一個人不同。此處前后句之間是因果關系，應該用because連接句子。

5.根據上句可推出本句句意：他被拒絕成為他們的朋友；應該用their friends。

6.由前句可知“他沒有朋友”所以總是感到寂寞(lonely)。

7.fail to do sth.意為“干某事失敗”，forget to do sth.意為“忘記做某事”，help to do sth.意為“幫助做某事”，learn to do sth.意為“學會做某事”。此處表達的是“學會打字”，應該用learn to type。

8.本句句意為：他甚至會沖浪和打高爾夫球。even意為“甚至”，ever意為“曾經”，never意為“從不”，hardly意為“幾乎不”，應該用even。

9.由之前“achieved great success”可推出“在學習方面，他屬于最優秀的學生之中”，用excellent(優秀的)符合句意。

10.由后句“to encourage others to work hard for their dreams”可推出：他決定了余生該做什么事，用what to do。

11.由其后的“gives speeches”及他所說的話可推出他是speaker(演講家)。

12.“和困難作斗爭”用against difficulties。

13.由后句“not what you don’t have”可推出是what you have。

14.前面已經提及“his story against difficulties”，所以此處應該用story，本句意為：他的故事鼓勵了成千上萬的人。

15.該句句意為“我告訴人們當他們跌倒的時候要繼續爬起來。”與“keep on getting up”相對應的是fall(跌倒)。故選A。
