I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchair. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.

One day, I fainted because of low blood pressure. It scared my parents. The doctor said that I must rest for a while. I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped to the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the color burn my face, I asked him to push that thing right back to where he found it.

I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.

Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheel chair suddenly. People looked down at me, pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me , the better they would feel.

“I’ m just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only difference is you’ve got legs, and I have wheels. ” But I had to taste the bitterness (痛苦) by myself.

People in wheelchairs are not different. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated．I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.

Mind Maps

Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to learn. You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning. They work very well for vocabulary when you are learning a new language.

1 Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in the middle. For example:

transport

2 Brainstorm some word groups for ‘transport’ and think of headings for each one. For example:

sea transport

land transport

air transport

For each one, draw a short line from the centre circle outwards. Add another circle and write the new group word in the middle.

3 Look at each group and try to add more groups. For example, in ‘land transport’ there are two sub-groups;

●road

●rail

Draw two more lines, add two more circles and write the two new headings inside them.

4 When you can’t make any new groups, add a line for each word you know. Write the words along the lines or, if you have space, write them inside more circles.

5 As you learn new vocabulary, add it to the mind map.

6 To make the mind maps even better, use colour to show important ideas or parts of the map.

1.The instructions above mainly show us __________.

A. what mind maps are B. how to draw mind maps

C. what mind maps can do D. how to make mind maps better

2.What can we learn about mind maps?

A. Mind maps are usually started with a line.

B. Mind maps should be simple, with no colour.

C. A mind map is only used for language learning.

D. A mind map is a picture with useful information.

3.Which of the following shows the right order of making a mind map?

b. Add new circles and write the group words ‘sea’, ‘land’ and ‘air’ in them.

c. Write ‘transport’ in the middle of the circle.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence perhaps viewed by some cultural groups as quite uncomfortable; therefore tries may be made to fill every gap （间隙） with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.

Many local Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what perhaps shows is that the man wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection（反应）.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts（冲突） among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in power rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, especially to an elder or a person in power.

Nurses and other care-givers need to realize the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety（焦虑）their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should learn about their own personal and cultural situation of silence so that a patient’s silence is not stopped too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the curing value of silence can use this understanding to help in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.

1.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?

A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.

2.What does the writer advise nurses to do about silence?

A. Let it continue as the patient pleases. B. Break it while treating patients.

C. Study its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.

3.What may be the best title for the text?

A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent

C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
