Understanding Disabilities
There are around 650 million people in the world that have disabilities，yet most people are still quite ignorant (无知的) about it.
1．What do you think of when you see the word，‘disability’？
Wheelchairs? White sticks? The Paralympics (残奥会)? 1. The legal definition of disability is that someone has a physical or mental impairment that has a great and longterm bad effect on his or her ability to carry out normal daytoday activities.
This affects about 650 million of us，worldwide. 2. Most become disabled during the course of their life. So maybe the term TAB (Temporarily AbleBodied) is better for people who are not disabled，because we may not stay that way forever.
2． 3.
Imagine not being able to see，or not being able to walk. Think of all the things that would be different. How can I get my education? What about my future? Would my friends still want to hang out with me? Will strangers laugh at me in the street? Can I get my own place? What job can I do?
Clearly，having a disability can affect many things in a person's life.
3．Disability and the law
4. It is illegal and extremely unpleasant to discriminate (歧视) against someone who is differently abled. The label ‘disabled’ is not always helpful. Even if someone meets the legal definition，they may not see themselves that way. Instead of thinking about what is wrong with those people，or noticing what they can't do，we should look at how we like to live，and try to make it possible for everyone to join in.
After all—what is normal？ 5. But better understanding would be a start.
A．How can the disabled find better jobs?
B．How does disability affect people?
C．People with disabilities don't need pity.
D．Most of us have never really thought about it.
E．We should consider more for people with disabilities.
F．Only 17% of people with a disability are born with it.
G．There are laws to prevent people with disabilities being treated unfairly.
It’s generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay S5 for a caramel brul6e latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.
It’s undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情），but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds，why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually，we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.
Moreover, we don’t just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character we infer characters that weren’t there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.
Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do， though it may not be in compliance (符合)with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegufs advice： “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. ’’
1.According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to __________.
A. determine one’s behavior

C. influence one’s surroundings
D. result from one’s habits
2.Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?
A. The return of a wallet can indicate one’s honesty.
B. A kind person will offer his seat to the old.
C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment.
D. One buys latte out of true love of coffee.
3.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?
A. We fail to realize our inner dispositions.
B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.
C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.
D. Our characters can shape our social relationships.
Almost everyone stood when the bride walked down the aisle in her white dress，but not the wedding conductor，because she was fixed on her chair.
The wedding was led by “IFairy”，a 1.5meter tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic hair. Sunday's wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot，according to manufacturer，Kokoro Co.
“Please lift the bride's veil (面纱)，” the robot said in a tinny voice，waving its arms in the air as the newlymarried couple kissed in front of about 50 guests.
The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo，where the IFairy wore flowers and directed a rooftop ceremony. Wires led out from beneath it to a black curtain a few feet away，where a man clicked commands into a computer.
Japan has one of the most advanced robotics industries in the world，with the government actively supporting the field for future growth. Industrial models in factories are now standard，but recently Japanese companies have been making a push to inject robots into everyday life.
Honda makes a walking childshaped robot，and other firms have developed robots to entertain the elderly or play baseball. Kokoro，whose corporate goal is to “touch the hearts of the people”，also makes giant dinosaur robots for exhibitions and lifelike Android models that can smile and laugh. The company is a subcompany of Sanrio Co.，which owns the rights to Hello Kitty and other Japanese characters.
“This was a lot of fun. I think that Japanese people have a strong sense that robots are our friends. Those in the robot industry mostly understand this，but people mainly want robots near them to serve some purpose，” said the bride，Satoko Inoue,36，who works at Kokoro.
The IFairy sells for about 6.3 million yen ($68,000) and three are in use in Singapore，the US and Japan，according to company spokeswoman，Kayako Kido.
