A

    In his new show, Evan Ruggiero plays guitar, sings pop standards and shows everybody his fine footwork. What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero,24,has only one leg.

    When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jersey's Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated(截)below the knee.

    Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero ,who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, "The One-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3",explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg(假肢),he explains.

    The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a "stubborn" patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor.

    "It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said, 'You know what? I need to pick up right where I left off and continue my career, "' Ruggiero said.

    Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. "Tap dancers-they're always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument, " he said.

    Noting that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before coming to his

show, Ruggiero says he won't shy away from the physical "weakness" his performance shows because of his condition.

    "A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say, 'You're such a role model and an inspiration, '  "he said.   "I'm honored when people say that, of course, but I'm just trying to get on with my life."

21. What makes Ruggiero's new show unusual?

22. According to the passage, it is true that

23. When audience attend his performance, they may notice

24. What's the author's attitude to Evan?
