     Nadya Vessey was born with an illness and her legs would never grow. At the age of 16, both of her
legs below (低于) the knees were cut off. Nadya Vessey hasn't let that destroy her. She recently
changed herself into a mermaid (美人鱼).    
     It was a little boy that started Nadya's change. One day a little boy saw her take off her prosthetic
(修复术的) legs and asked her why she didn't have any legs. After thinking quickly, she asked him
whether he had heard of The Little Mermaid. He said "Yes", so Nadya told him that she was a mermaid. Nadya said, "He was surprised and said 'wow, that's cool' and ran off to tell his dad".     
     The idea of a mermaid became clearer and clearer in Nadya's mind. After thinking it over, she wrote
to the Weta Workshop two years ago, asking if they could make her a prosthetic tail (尾巴). She was
surprised to get the reply that they agreed. The Weta Workshop's director was happy to make it happen
and wanted Nadya to be beautiful. It took the Weta Workshop two years to make a special suit for
Nadya. After practicing in the local swimming pool, Nadya went to the open sea and tried out her
mermaid suit. Nadya was pleased with it.     
     It is really surprising. It's wonderful to watch Nadya swim and to see her dream come true.

根据短文内容,用适当的单词或短语填写表格。

     Most Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day. They share a festive meal with family members and watch
football matches.
     For some people, shopping is a big part of their Thanksgiving tradition as well. For many years, the day
after Thanksgiving is considered the first day of the holiday shopping season in the United States. Many stores
have sales on that day. Many people go to the sales because they can save money. The shoppers are looking
for bargains (特价商品). This busy shopping day is called"Black Friday".
     Recently, researchers have noticed another busy shopping day. The Monday after Thanksgiving has
become known as"Cyber Monday". On this day, more and more shoppers buy their holiday gifts online.
     One survey (调查) found that 80% of the Internet users buy gifts online. The survey found that shoppers
in one city will spend one third of their holiday budget (预算) online.
     But most shoppers still do not want to buy online because they don't feel safe. Here is some helpful advice
to keep shoppers safe.
     First, don't follow an e-mail link to a shopping website. Type the shop's address into your browser (浏览
器) yourself. Also, make sure that you are shopping on a safe server. You should see a little lock at the bottom
of the screen. The picture means you are on a safe server and it's safe to shop. The last tip is to use credit
cards (信用卡) online, not other cards.
