in England in 1949，is an amazing example of a Can Do person.The young man came to the United States in 1975，where he studied for a masters degree in Arts.Although studying took up much of his time，he travelled throughout the US and Canada climbing many different types of rock walls.Thus，he made friends with many people with the same interest.However，on Thanksgiving Day in 1979，a car driven by a drunk driver lost control and suddenly turned into his lane (车道)，striking the head of his vehicle.The injuries to both of his legs and feet resulted in the removal of one of his kneecaps (膝盖骨)，and the amputation (截去) of his right foot.It wasnt easy，but after some time，with great effort and strong will，Tom rebuilt his hope for life.The report of his story moved the whole nation of America.Eventually he earned another masters degree and founded the Cooperative Wilderness Handicapped Outdoor Group.This programmes success sent Tom around the world to spread his message that it is not the falling down，but the getting back up that matters.He became a professor in Adventure Education at Prescott College in Arizona，where he taught the top outdoor leadership programme in the nation.After 25 years of experience as a mountaineer，on May 27，1998，Tom achieved his greatest accomplishment so far：reaching the peak of Mt Everest.Tom was actually the first person with a disability to ever climb and stand on the peak of Mt Everest.He realized that reaching the peak of Mt Everest could do nothing to change his disability，but it could do a lot to change attitudes.Tom Whittaker wanted people to realize that disability is as much an attitude as it is a condition.【语篇解读】汤姆在一次事故中失去了右脚，成了残疾人。虽然他在身残后曾经灰心过，但是通过努力和坚强的意志，重获生活的希望。5For what did Tom Whittaker go to the US?ATo improve his climbing
