舒马赫复苏有望 已出现片刻意识恢复【高考英语阅读素材】

Michael Schumacher is said to be defying the odds and waking up from his coma.

The Formula One legend’s manager Sabine Kehm revealed the German was showing “moments of ­consciousness and awakening”, suggesting he had opened his eyes.

He has been in a medically induced coma since he suffered serious head injuries during a ski crash in December

Miss Kehm said: “Michael is making progress on his way. He shows moments of consciousness and awakening.”

She added: “We are on his side during his long and difficult fight, together with the team of the hospital in Grenoble and we keep remaining confident.”

This week it emerged the seven-time F1 world champ, 45, would eventually be moved from hospital to a rehabilitation facility.

But Miss Kehm dismissed rumours the driver’s wife Corinna planned to build a medical suite for him at their home in Gland, Switzerland.

A close family friend added: “Michael will be moved to a ­re­­habilitation clinic at some stage, however not at this stage.

“We are confident Michael will wake up. Therefore why would we need to build facilities for a vegetative man at his home? This would imply that his case is hopeless.”

It will be 14 weeks ago tomorrow since dad-of-two Schumacher had his horror accident while skiing at the French Alps resort of Meribel.

He remains on a ventilator and doctors began the gradual process of waking him up nine weeks ago.

F1 fans at tomorrow’s Bahrain Grand Prix will unfurl a banner which reads: “Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Schumacher.”
