Daisy-May Demetre has been chosen as a model for the French-inspired fashion line Lulu et Gigi Couture after its founder saw her modeling in London. Her appearance at the famous New York Fashion Week on September 8th marked the first time a double amputee had starred in the catwalk. The Birmingham schoolgirl is also set to show herself in Paris Fashion Week. Daisy-May’s legs were amputated as a result of being born with fibular hemimelia, a birth disease in which part of the fibular bone (腓骨) in the leg is missing. Her parents, Alex and Claire Demetre, were shocked to know that the child would “have no legs”. Her parents were faced with the predicament of whether to watch Daisy-May grow up with deformed (畸 形的) legs that she wouldn’t be able to use or to allow doctors to perform a double amputation. They couldn’t make up their minds. It was not until the average child began to walk and her leg bones began to influence her balance and normal life that her parents decided to choose amputation. “We didn’t know at the time that Daisy-May would be as good as she is now,” said Alex. “At the time, I isolated (孤立) myself — I had drinking problems. That has all changed — and that’s down to her taking each day with a big smile on her face,” he added. “She told me not to worry and inspired me to be brave.” Daisy-May’s career has since sky-rocketed in popularity.

What do you know about Daisy-May Demetre? A. Her first performance on the catwalk didn’t succeed. B. She became a double amputee because of an accident. C.

Daisy-May isolated herself after the amputation. C. Daisy-May is a girl with an optimistic mind. D. Alex expected Daisy-May to be a model at her young age. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Daisy-May Walked on the Catwalk with One Leg B. A Double Amputee Is a Gymnast as Well as a Model C. A British Schoolgirl Set a New Record in the Fashion Show D. A 9-year-old Double Amputee Makes History on the Catwalk C Pieter Bruegel’s 1565 realistic painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “The work describes farmers cutting wheat nearly as tall as they are,” Ghent University biologist Ive De Smet says. “Nowadays, if you walk through a wheat field, you basically see wheat is about knee-high, which is a consequence of selective breeding (培育) from the second half of the 20th century.” De Smet says he’s teaming up with art historian David Vergauwen of Amarant to look at things where they can spot differences in shape, in color, and in size.
