No one knows exactly how many disabled 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，hard of hearing or have falling 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 to visit friends，imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or onto 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．
1.The key word in Paragraph 4 is_______.
A. disability B. ignorance
C. prejudice D. Barriers
2.The last word of the passage “counts” most probably means_______.
A. being most important B. being considered
C. being included D. being numbered
3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
B. There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.
C. The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.
D. There no longer exists prejudice against the disabled.
4.It can be concluded from the passage that_______.
A. we should try our best to prevent disablement
B. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down
C. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
D. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled

As we get older, most of us worry about grey hair, wrinkles and maintaining a youthful body． 1. Here, Mr. Rubin, a voice expert, reveals how to keep your voice youthful．
Drink more fluid and avoid spicy food
You need water for the vocal cords（声带）to vibrate well．The body must keep absorbing enough water to make the vocal cords operate well．Drinking 1．5 liters of water a day at intervals of 15 minutes is very important．2.
Rest the throat and talk regularly
The vocal cords can be scarred if you use your voice during a bad cough．If you have a case of laryngitis（喉炎）with a cold, you should rest your voice for a day or two, and seek medical advice．
Simply staying sociable and using your voice is very important．“As older people have less mobile, they can become socially isolated and speak less,” says Mr. Rubin．“The elderly need to communicate with people more．3. ”
4.
Good posture is essential to keeping the voice young, so we’d better stand properly．Exercise helps you take deeper breaths as it means there is better airflow through the voice box, producing a stronger tone．
Sing in the shower
This is one of the best ways to preserve your voice, as it keeps the larynx muscles strong while the steam lubricates the voice box．“ 5. ” says Mr. Rubin．Joining a choir is one of the best ways to preserve a youthful tone．
A．Improve your posture
B．By using the vocal cords, they enable the ageing process to slow down．
C．But people often don’t realize the voice needs looking after．
D．The Voice of Young Science programme encourages early career researchers to play an active role in public debates about science．
E．Singing is to the voice what gymnastics are to human beings．
F．Using the vocal cords regularly will definitely age our voice more quickly．
G．Mr. Rubin advises avoiding foods with an annoying effect on the stomach, such as onions, chili, fizzy drinks and chocolate．
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
There are various aspects that go into making a successful school, and success can be measured in various ways．Often, the teachers are praised for a school’s success and blamed for its failure．Yet, in order for a school to be effective, it must be a place where teaching and learning can easily take place, and that requires the hard work of more than just educators．Students must take learning into their own hands and feel as if what they are doing is as important as it actually is．This can only be done with the cooperation of every adult that is involved in the students’ life．Some of these individuals often go unnoticed, yet the role they play in the students’ lives is immeasurable．
In the school, administrative assistants greet students at the start of the day and answer a large quantity of questions．When an assistant remembers a student’s name or even something special about that student, it communicates to him that he is cared for．The assistant can also give that extra encouragement for a student to make better choices, especially when they are visiting the principal’s office．
Meanwhile, though cafeteria workers have a short space of time to interact with students, they can make a big difference as well．Beyond meeting nutritional needs, cafeteria workers may also on occasion meet the emotional needs of the students they serve．Students benefit from positive interaction with adults, and cafeteria workers may give that extra bit of encouragement that a child needs．
Custodians（管理员）are usually underappreciated for what they offer to schools．They have to be knowledgeable about everything from cleaning to fixing the most intricate（复杂的）tools．They get to school early in the morning before teachers arrive and lock up late at night after the last student has left from the after-school event．They also make sure teachers are equipped with the necessary items and prepare the rooms so that they are ready for learning．A great custodian also gives that kind word or extra smile to that student who needs it most．
