Question

17．One morning in 2007．Parthasarathy---we usually called him Partha．---came to meet me．He was disabled and was not an engineer but had majored in a computer course in college．I told Partha，"I'd like to employ people like you．"In fact，it turned out to be the right decision to employ him．Partha had an amazing enthusiasm and his disability did not stop him from improving himself．I was not doing any charity by employing him because my company benefited more from Partha．I have realized that physically challenged people are more faithful than others but unfortunately we usually pay scant attention to them．
At that time our office was on the first floor and Partha had difnculty dealing with the stairs．Seeing him struggle．I decided to make the entire office disabled-friendly．Our ground floor is now intended for the disabled people，and we have special toilets for them．We have also built houses for them near the office so that they can avoid long travelling hours．
After meeting Partha，I decided to hire more disabled people．We waited six months to get another disabled person who then became our receptionist．
I don't regard employing disabled people as charity．I consider it my responsibility．The country has spent much money educating me and I feel it is time for me to do something as a reward．
It is great to work with them．Seeing them work，get married，settle in life and have children is a wonderful experience．
We have 550employees now，and 20percent of them are disabled．We go to Engineering Colleges looking for disabled people but onty to find one or two in each college．Parents don't send them out．The biggest challenge for the physically disabled is the attitude of their parents，but we hire them even if they are not engineers．

56．What kind of person was Partha？（No more than 10words）
Partha was disabled but didn't stop improving himself．
57．What does the underlined word"scant"in the 1^st paragraph mean？（No more than 2words）
Little．/Not enough．
58．Why is the ground floor intended for the disabled people？（No more than l2words）
Because the disabled have difficulty dealing with the stairs．
59．How many disabled workers are there in the writer's company now？（No more than 2words）
110
60．Do you agree to the writer's plan to employ more disabled people？And why？（No more than 30words）
Yes．Because it is our duty to reward the country and the disabled need chances to make full use of their skills to improve themselves．．

Answer 1

分析 文章介绍作者的公司聘用了一些残疾人，这不是做慈善，作者认为身体残疾的人比其他人更加有信念，而且这也是他回报社会的方式．

解答 56．Partha was disabled but didn't stop improving himself．细节题：从第一段的句子：Partha had an amazing enthusiasm and his disability did not stop him from improving himself．可知Partha是个残疾人，但是没有停止提高自己．
57．Little．/Not enough．猜词题：从第一段的句子：I have realized that physically challenged people are more faithful than others but unfortunately we usually pay scant attention to them．可知作者认为身体残疾的人比其他人更加有信念，但是我们不够关注他们．从but unfortunately看出这个单词的意思是"Little．/Not enough"．
58．Because the disabled have difficulty dealing with the stairs．细节题：从第三段的句子：At that time our office was on the first floor and Partha had difnculty dealing with the stairs．Seeing him struggle．I decided to make the entire office disabled-friendly．Our ground floor is now intended for the disabled people，可知作者的公司的第一层为残疾人设计，因为他们爬楼梯不方便
59.110．细节题：从最后一段的句子：We have 550 employees now，and 20 percent of them are disabled．可知作者的公司有110个残疾人．
60．Yes．Because it is our duty to reward the country and the disabled need chances to make full use of their skills to improve themselves．这是一道开放题，考生可以自由发挥，但是提倡积极的答案．
