（2015 山东省实验中学第一次诊断考试）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(逐渐的)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 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(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents the greatest barrier of a11. 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，

(2015年山东省师大附中第一次模拟考试) The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just like any November day. His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up. One morning, I downstairs and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲)my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room. And back up stairs so those good people would not see me. I was embarrassed. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them?
