One day,as she was staining with all her might to imagine her legs moving again,it seemed as though a miracle happened:The bed moved!It began to move around the room!She screamed out,"Look what I'm doing!Look!Look!I can do it!I moved,I moved!" Of course,at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming,too,and running for cover.People were screaming,equipment was falling and glass was breaking.You see,it was the recent San Francisco earthquake.But don't tell that to Angela.She's convinced that she did it.And now only a few years later,she's back in school. _ Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
The girl got over her disease just by imagining. It was because of her strong determination and constant efforts that she got walking again. The girl was on top of the world when she moved the bed in her room. Doctors believe imagining being healthy helps patients recover.
