An old man was fishing in the bank of river. A girl came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and It didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the girl was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the girl shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked "Why don't you want the fish?"
The girl replied, "I want the fishing rod（竿）in your hands."
The old man asked, "Why do you want the rod?"
"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."

People with disabilities make up a large part of the population. It is reported that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental", that is to say, they happen before people’s twenty-second birthday, often from born conditions, and are hard enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as movement, communication, occupation, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious" (偶然的), i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.
Before the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Improvements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic (基本的) needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unluckily, these basics are often not available. Human rights such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and achieve work have traditionally been not agreed on the basis of disability.
In recent ten years, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these disagreements of human rights. Congress(国会) replied by passing important laws recognizing(承认) people with disabilities as a protected group under human rights laws.
It is reported that more than half of qualified(有资格的) Americans with disabilities don’t have work, and a lot of those who do work are out of work. About two-thirds live at or below the official lowest level.
Obvious difficulties, especially in communication and public awareness(意识), prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer stopped by law from marrying, a person unable to communicate is excluded(排斥) from society and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.
Only when public attitudes(态度) advance as far as laws have, disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.. A “developmental" disability ______.
| A．is caused by forces |
| B．happens in youth and affects development |
| C．develops very slowly over time |
| D．is getting harder and harder |

| A．One | B．Two |
| C．Three | D．Four |
Which of the following cannot be inferred（推断）from the passage ?
| A．The public tend to(倾向) look down on the disabled people. |
| B．Many disabled people may remain single(保持单身) for their whole life. |
| C．The disabled people feel inferior(不及) to those common people. |
| D．Discriminatory(歧视性) laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others. |

Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred（留下创伤）her for life. The curious child reached up to catch the wire(电线) of a hot kettle(壶) in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her little body.
Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie terribly burnt, called an ambulance(救护车) which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital.

This month, Ammie will join the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridgeshire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to pay no attention to unkind stares(注视) from others,” she says.
