Unit 1 Living well 亲爱的同学们，你们还记得“心灵之声”艺术团表演的千手观音吗？你可曾知道它的表演者都是失聪的人吗？在我们这个世界上，有成千上万的残疾人，我们要伸出援助之手，关爱残疾人，让他们体会到人间的真情 No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world，but estimates suggest that 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 has 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 peoples attitudes 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 onto 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 ablebodied 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 count. 词 海 拾 贝1estimate n估计；评价2.disablement n残疾；伤残，失去能力3.progressive adj.渐次的，逐渐的4.barrier n障碍，阻碍5prejudice n偏见，歧视6.inevitably adv.不可避免地；必然地7.individual adj.个人的，个体的 谢谢观看！
