Because of her condition, her involuntary movements prevent her from freely holding objects with her hands or standing up. She’s never been-able to walk, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have the same dreams and hopes as other children. In particular, she’s always wanted to ride a bicycle. “That was her dream, and I had to do something to help,” her grandfather, Clovis Urias, a 69-year-old former construction worker, said. First he tried to make his granddaughter’s dream come true by buying her a tricycle (三轮车). Unfortunately, she was unable to hold the handlebars to guide the vehicle, and she couldn’t keep her balance on the seat. Her grandfather, however, isn’t a man who is easily discouraged. In his home workshop, he started to think of how he could make a more stable tricycle for her. He started to take things apart and put the useful pieces back together. “I fixed the pedals with brakes, and I didn’t put on handlebars,” he told Sempre Familia, a local news medium. This vehicle isn’t just fun; it’s also practical; Clovis added a basket behind the seat, so that Emily can carry her backpack for school, or some groceries, because she likes to go to the supermarket and bakery with him. Emily’s special tricycle is also stylish. “After the tricycle was ready, I painted it pink and purple because Emily chose those colors. She was very happy, and I was even happier,” Clovis said. There’s no cure for cerebral palsy, although there is medicine to decrease involuntary muscle movements. So what does the future hold for Emily? Only time will tell, but the support of her family will fill her future with hope. 1. Which of the following word can best describe
