No one knows exactly how many disabled (残废的) people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile (可动的), hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic But there are other barriers, prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.
A:it is possible to get an exact figure of the world’s disabled people B:there are many disabled, people in the world C:the number of disabled people in India is the greatest D:India has not much more disabled people than Canada

"Tomorrow we’ll see the Golden Gate Bridge." said Peter. "I’ve never seen a golden bridge before." Peter’s father smiled, but said nothing. Peter would soon see the bridge.
The next morning, his father took Peter to the bridge. How big it looked! And the bridge was red!
"It isn’t named for its colour," said his father. "It’s named for the Golden Gate."
"What’s the Golden Gate" asked Peter.
"A gate is either an opening, or a thing that closes an opening," said his father. "The Golden Gate is an opening in the land. Water from the sea comes through this opening into San Francisco Bay."
"Oh", said Peter. "And the bridge is over the opening. But why is the opening called the Golden Gate"
"Years ago men came here to took for gold. Many came by ship. For them it was a gate to gold."
"Well, I still think the bridge should look golden."
When peter got home, he sent a letter to a newspaper. In the letter he said: "Red is not the right colour for the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge should look golden, the way most people think it does."

Passage 2
| Economically, the world can be divided
into two parts. The difference between them is that one part in poor and the
other is wealthy. In the poor countries of the world, a lot of people never get
enough to eat. In the wealthy countries, a lot of people eat too much. The
tragedy is that there are more people in the poor countries than there are in
the wealthy countries. It is estimated that about 80% of the world’s
population cannot afford to have proper food, housing or medical
care. The poorer countries are often referred to as the Third World. They have special problems. Often their land is too poor to grow anything on. The land can be improved. But a lot of things have to be done first new farming methods have to be introduced, people have to be educated, and reliable sources of water and energy have to be found. Many of these, problems are too complex for one country to solve alone. Outside help is needed, but is has to be the right kind of help. Money is not enough. Newly developed countries need to be helped to be able to help themselves. |
A:Many people have not enough money B:Many people have no place to live in C:Many people have not enough money to see doctors D:All of the above
