During this time, Reeve felt like he had lost all hope.Having once been a healthy and successful young man to being trapped in a broken body was like a living nightmare to him.[6]He admitted that during the early stages of living with his injury, he wished that he was dead and even thought of ending his own life.He fell into a depression which lasted for many months. It was only due to the ongoing support of his wife, parents and friends that he eventually found the will to live again. For the years that followed he focused his attention on his goal of one day walking again. 4. What did he do as an advocate for medical research? He advocated for people with back injuries and disabilities, raising millions of dollars in support of medical research. Para 5. 　　With a new sense of energy and commitment, Reeve undertook an intense exercise programme to help him achieve this goal. He engaged in a wide range of exercises designed to rebuild muscle, and made remarkable progress。[11]Shortly after, he managed to return to his film career by directing, producing and even starring in films. He also wrote a biography and returned to his charity work. Reeve became a passionate and energetic advocate for people with back injuries and disabilities，raising millions of dollars in support of medical research.“What I do is based on powers we all have inside us...and you don't have to be a ‘superman’ to do it.” His positive attitude inspired many people who were stuck in illness.“With the progress of new medical research, I'm confident that people like me would be able to walk again one day. So you can see, I'm too busy with living to think of giving up！” 为了达成目标，里夫凭借一种新的力量和使命感，开始了高强度的运动计划。他进行了一系列旨在重建肌肉的运动，并取得了显著的进步。不久之后，他重返电影事业，担任导演和制片人，甚至主演了电影。他还写了一本传记，并且再度从事慈善工作。里夫成为脊背受伤者和残疾人士的热情而积极的支持者，他筹集了数百万美元以支持医学研究。“我所做的是基于我们每个人体内都拥有的力量……而你不必成为‘超人’就能做到。”他积极乐观的态度鼓舞了很多疾病缠身的人。“随着新的医学研究的发展，我相信像我这样的人总有一天能再次行走。所以你可以看到，我忙于生活，无暇考虑放弃！” Sadly, on 10 October, 2004, Christopher Reeve passed away.He will always be remembered asJ a superhero—in more ways than one. 令人难过的是，2004年10月10日，克里斯托弗·里夫去世了。他将作为超级英雄永远被铭记——不止在一个方面。 4: Group work.
