3.No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is over 450million.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 failing 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 visit friends,imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps,or on to 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.
25.The first paragraph points out thatC.
A.India has much more disabled people than Canada

C.The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people
D.There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance
28.It can be concluded from the passage thatA.
A.we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
B.both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down
C.we should try our best to prevent disablement
D.the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled.
分析 没人知道世界上准确有多少个残疾人,数字可能超过4.5亿.在英国,十个有一人有某种残疾,残疾不只是发生在其他人身上的.当我们变老时,我们许多人会变的不易行动,听力困难或视力下降.残疾可以以任何形式发生在生命中的任一时期.残疾人面对许多身体障碍,偏见甚至更难打破,目前为止,无知是所有障碍中最具有代表性的.对于一个行动自如的身体是无法充分理解残疾人所经历的事情的,所以对这些障碍加引关注以及展示是个人和他们的能力,不是他们的不能,其所依赖的障碍,是很重要的.

Here is an unfortunate truth:For far too many incoming freshmen,college-any college-is not worth it.Year after year,students fail to get the full value of their tuition.
Many critics blame this cost/value problem on the universities,though each critic might point to a different reason:teachers always think of difficult research,the high costs of athletics,or the popularity of majors that are supposedly not suited to the new job market,to name some of their favorites.
But these are symptoms and not the illness itself.In our experience,the source of the wasted university experience begins with the student.Too often,students make bad choices or,frankly,just not enough great choices.
Too often we meet students who are so exhausted by the business of getting into college that they don't work hard once they arrive-one of the most common wastes of time and tuition.A poorly constructed transcript (成绩单) can be destructive to a student's education.Failure to engage and build professional working relationships with professors in office hours (which may lead to continued study,internships and more) also hurts the student's experience.
Another mistake is failing to make use of the many support networks on today's college campuses.It's almost embarrassing how many good offerings are rolled into each tuition dollar,but most students don't know they exist.
Another common point of failure is filling the schedule with too many extracurricular activities as students once did in high school,rather than getting intensely involved in one or two at most.The same can be said of overburdened course loads.
The final great failure we frequently see is the approach students (and their parents) take to selecting a major and accurately seeing its impact on a future career.University systems are not vocational schools.While critics nowadays complain about the attraction of useless majors-and some do exist-more frequently we see too many students pursue a course of study that is not their strength,simply because it seems to have obvious connections to a potential job after graduation.
Rather than perform poorly in a"practical"major and be of little interest as a future job candidate,we say it is better to major in a subject where a student would do well and master the tools of communication and analysis.Students who choose a unique major should complement (使更具有吸引力) that with some well-chosen skill courses,internships and other co-curricular activities that help with career opportunities after college.
So,is college worth it?It can be.Studies show that college graduates have many advantages-material,social and emotional-that can lead to greater success later in life.
To get the full value out of college,students must be as diligent and creative about getting out of college as they were about getting in.After all,the most beautiful,Olympic saltwater pool does you no good if you don't know how to swim.
| Introduction | Students in college are (71)unable/unlikely to get the full value of the constantly rising tuition.Critics hold that the universities are responsible for the problem,but actually it is students themselves that are to (72)blame. |

| ●Students fail to take advantage of (74)resources/support that colleges provide. | |

| Author's Advice | ●Take personal interest and (77)strength(s)/advantage(s)/merit(s)into account. |
| ●Learn the skills of communication and analysis. | |
| ●Choose some skill courses,internships and other co-curricular activities to (78)increase/boost future career chances. | |
| ●Most importantly,(79)diligent and creativity count. | |
| (80)Conclusion | Students,and only students themselves,can get the best out of college,as long as they learn the skills to swim in the beautiful pool of college. |
