阅读下面短文，根据所需内容在文后第1至第10小题的空格添上适当的单词或短语。

注意：每空不超过3个单词。

　　No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million．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 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 that counts．

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

“　　1　　 It all depends on your personality,”said British naturalist Richard Mabey．“Personality shapes your view of the season,”he said．“You may see it as a fading away, a packing up(结束), or as a time of packing in another sense –the gathering of resources before a long journey．”

　　2　　 About November, he wrote：

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees

November!

On the other hand, another English poet John Keats, already sensing he was seriously ill, was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language, To Autumn．　　3　　

According to Richard Mabey, Keats has the biological evidence on his side．　　4　　 For example, just at the moment that Keats's“gathering swallows”(in To Autumn)are departing for Africa, millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland, Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain．People might argue that it is the coloring of the leaves and their eventual fall that make people feel sad about autumn．But no one is sure why trees drop their leaves in the first place．It may be likely to rid the poisonous material trees collect over the summer．　　5　　

A century after Keats, the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal：“Suppose we saw ourselves burning like maples in a golden autumn．And suppose we could disintegrate(瓦解)like autumn leaves…Would not our attitude towards death be different?”

A．Autumn is not a time of slowing down, but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures．

B．He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about autumn．

C．Keats thought we should take a negative attitude towards death．

D．Autumn means different to different people．

E．If this is true, perhaps it tells us a little about, for instance, Thomas Hood, the 19th Century English poet．

F．More likely, it is a way of reducing the loss of water, which tree roots find hard to take in from cold soil．

G．The fall of tree leaves is more likely to make people sad．
