　　Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN'T and IMPOSSIBLE from their dictionary. Jessica Cox, 25, a girl born without arms, stands inside an aircraft. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. Jessica Cox of Tucson was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "can't".
　　Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.
　　With one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column, Cox, 25, soared to achieve a Sport Pilot certificate. Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet.
　　"She's a good pilot. She's rock solid," said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport. Parrish Traweens PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities.
　　"When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, "I knew she'd have no problem flying a plane."
　　Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early on that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices. So, the next time you are ready to tell yourself, "I can't possibly..." remember this amazing young woman and change your vocabulary.

　　When Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and pestered (纠
　　缠)his relatives, but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements
　　until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began
　　to think that he had no future at all.
　　“Why don't you start your own business?”one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-loc'd better find a way of opening it.”
　　“But what can I do？”
　　“Get out and have a loond,”advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”
