No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but the number may be 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 (可动的) , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.

Disablement can take many forms and happen 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 disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude(态度) towards them.

　Disabled people face many physical barriers(障碍). Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance (无知) represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person(个人) and their ability, not their disability, which counts.

1.The first paragraph points out that ___________.

A. it is possible to get an exact number of the world’s disabled people

B. there are many disabled people in the world

C. the number of disabled people in India is the greatest

D. India has not much more disabled people than Canada

2.The key word in Paragraph 4 is ___________.

A. barriers     B. disabled        C. disability             D. prejudice

3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.

B. The whole society should pay more attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.

C. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.

D. There is still prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance.

4.It can be concluded（推断）from the passage that ___________.

A. we should try our best to prevent disablement

B. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled

C. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled

D. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down

Oink! The Year of the Pig is coming. How much do you know about pigs? Do you like them? Many people don’t because they believe that pigs are naturally fat, lazy and dirty. But are any of those things true?

It is true that pigs are fat. They eat a lot. But they are useful to us. We get more than just pork from pigs. We can use their skin to make shoes. We can use their hair to make brushes. Pigs also provide us with ingredients for drugs like insulin (胰岛素). Insulin can treat diabetes (糖尿病)

People sometimes say, “You are as stupid as a pig.” But pigs are not stupid. In fact, pigs are one of the 10 smartest animals. They have a good memory and can tell different shapes apart. Many experts think pigs are easier to train than dogs or cats. In France, people teach pigs to find truffles (松露). With their good sense of smell they can find truffles even faster than dogs.

When you see pigs, they are usually in dirty water or mud. That’s because pigs have no sweat glands (汗腺). On hot days, they have to cool themselves in water or mud. This keeps insects of them as well. Mud can also protect their skin from sunburns.

These stereotypes about pigs often make us hold a negative view about the animal. For example, if someone eats a lot, we say that they have “pigged out”. If someone’s room is very mess, we might say his or her room looks like a pigsty (猪圈).

But people in ancient China really liked pigs. People thought the pig’s big head and ears were a symbol of good luck. If someone had a round and chubby (胖乎乎的) face, he or she was thought to be blessed (有福气的). People also believed the animal stood for wealth, as humans use every part of the pig. Piggy banks are a symbol of this. Most children have a piggy bank that they can use to save money.

1.People can use pigs’ skin to ______.

A.make clothes. B.make insulin. C.make shoes D.make brushes

2.According to the passage, pigs can ______.

A.tell one hundred different colors apart.

B.find truffles with their good eyesight.

C.be of great help to people like dogs.

D.get away from insects with their masters’ help.

3.Which of the following best explained the underlined word “stereotypes?

A.fixed ideas B.feelings C.mistakes D.descriptions

4.Why did the people in ancient China like pigs?

A.People thought the pig’s big head and ears were a symbol of good luck

B.People believed the animal stood for health.

C.People knew pigs were one of the 10 smartest animals.

D.People thought pies were blessed by god.

5.The writer wrote this passage mainly to ______.

A.tell readers that pigs are not stupid, dirty or fat at all

B.criticize people who don’t really know about pigs.

C.point out that pigs can do a lot of things for people.

D.help people know more about the pigs.

Potato chips are very popular in the world. Do you know how they were invented (发明)? In 1853, a native (本土的) American named George Crum made the first potato chips. Crum was a chef (厨师) in an expensive restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. One day, a customer (顾客) did not like the French fries. He said they were cut too thick. That day Crum was in a bad mood, so he cut the potatoes really, really thin and he cooked them for a long time until they were very crispy (酥脆的). He wanted to make the customer dislike them. But the customer loved them very much and asked for more.　

Other people wanted Crum’s potato chips. Now, there was a new food on the menu—Saratoga chips. Soon Crum opened his own restaurant and made his special chips. It took a long time to make potato chips. People peeled the potatoes by hand. Then in 1920, the automatic (自动的) potato peeler changed everything. Now it was faster and easier to make potato chips. Now potato chips were not a specialty. They were a popular snack food, but only in the north.

A salesman named Herman Lay wanted to sell potato chips in the south. He sold potato chips in bags. His business grew. Today, Americans eat a lot of potato chips every day.
