     When you first meet a disabled person, what is your first reaction? Curiosity? Sympathy? If you experience
any of these emotions, you are not alone. Chances are that you don't regularly associate with someone who is
disabled. Here are four points to keep in mind if you should happen to meet a disabled person.
     Disabled people can lead active lives
     With few exceptions, a disability does not prevent someone from working, raising a family, or taking part in
social activities. Many sports and recreation programs have been adapted to a person with a disability. Instead
of concentrating on the disability, look at the person the same way you would look at any normal person.
     It's all right to ask questions
      Many people are afraid of offending someone by asking about their disability. When meeting them for the
first time, it's natural to be curious about who he or she is, and where they're from. Asking questions is usually
acceptable, as long as you use common sense. Don't, for example, ask a blind person how he feeds and bathes
himself.
     Offer help when necessary
      You see a woman in a wheelchair having trouble entering a building. It's usually appropriate to lend a hand
if someone is having obvious difficulty, but keep in mind that not everyone will be willing to accept your help.
Unless the woman in the wheelchair is in danger, you do your part.
     Remember that we all have obstacles to overcome
     No matter who we are, each of us has a weakness or challenge to face. Like you, a disabled person would
much rather be accepted for who they are, rather than be pitied. Many friends have said to me,"I often forget
that you are blind." To me, that is the top compliment.
1. Why are you curious when you first see disabled people?
A. They can't live normally.
B. You seldom deal with them.
C. You look down upon them.
D. They look quite different.
2. What should you do if you find a disabled person can manage it?
A. You had better lend him or her a hand.
B. You pretend that you haven't seen him or her.
C. You should encourage him or her to try.
D. You had better leave him or her alone.
3. From this passage we learn that _______.
A. the author is blind himself
B. a disabled person needs pitying
C. not everyone has a weakness
D. some people have no difficulty

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
