Living Well

I.完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）

Not long ago, I was at a state conference with a group preparing for a week of meetings. I walked into the room 1 a handful of volunteers were busy collating (装订整理) handouts. I asked if I could help. One of the ladies 2 said “Oh, no, thank you” and offered me a chair to just sit while they 3 . Then, another volunteer came into the room, saw me sitting there doing 4 and said: “Hey, Larry, come on over here. There’s work to do, and you can help.” He put a couple of chairs 5 , placed two stacks of handouts on them and 6 : “OK, the left sheet goes on top of the right one.”

“Fine. I can 7 that,” I said. And just like that, I was now part of the team.

This member of the group saw that my disability did not mean an inability to help. 8 , I thanked him for having 9 me, and asked what motivated his action. He said: “Well, I figured 10 one more set of hands we’d finish more quickly. I was just using common sense.”

I’m sure that the kind folks who initially 11 my offer of help did not mean to offend me. It just seemed more 12 for them to say “No, thank you” than to stop their work and try and 13 how to include me. And that’s the real 14 here. Too often, people with disabilities are excluded – within their 15 or within a social setting – because of their disability and not because of their inability.

It’s important for all of us to feel part of the group and to feel that we 16 . It’s important to our self-esteem (自尊). And it is even more important for people with disabilities. Inclusion means we are accepted, 17 and valued as a full and 18 member of the group. It sends a 19 that states: “To us, your abilities 20 more than your disability.”

One minute, Renata Glasner is watching the waves crash on Leblon beach from her wheelchair. The next, she’s riding the waves on a specially adapted surfboard.

Glasner, a 35-year-old graphic designer, was found to have the disease of multiple sclerosis four years ago. She is one of dozens of disabled people being assisted by AdaptSurf, a Rio-based non-governmental organization that aims to make beaches accessible to the disabled and encourage them to practice water sports. Men and women with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, people missing a limb (肢体), the blind, the deaf and even the paralyzed (瘫痪的) all hit the waves here.

“The taste of salt water has no price,” said Glasner, who began to lose control over her legs shortly after the birth of her first child and now requires a helper to move her from her wheelchair onto the surfboard. “After you’re diagnosed with a disease like mine, you can’t even imagine you’re ever again going to experience that taste.”

AdaptSurf was started in 2007, 10 years after a robbery left co-founder Henrique Saraiva partially paralyzed. The then-18-year-old Saraiva had been cycling near his home in a nice Rio neighborhood when he was shot by passing thieves.

Saraiva eventually traded his wheelchair for the crutches (拐杖) that he still uses to get around.

But Saraiva says that surfing is the only time he can really forget about his disability. “It’s the one place where I can feel like I’m just like everybody else.”

In Brazil the beach is center stage for social life. It’s where families reunite, friendships are made, couples come together and deals are struck. “Imagine, you’re in a country that’s surrounded by beaches, where the beach is an almost mystical (神秘的) place. But when you’re confined to a wheelchair, you sit there sweating under the sun and watching everyone play in the water,” said Saraiva.

Several dozen disabled people attend AdaptSurf, taking hours-long bus rides to be there every weekend. The group has even had people come from as far as the capital, Brasilia, some 725 miles (1,170 kilometers) away. AdaptSurf meets every Saturday and Sunday of the year, weather permitting. 21. The main purpose of AdaptSurf is to ______.

A. improve its members’ surfing skills B. enable disabled people to enjoy water sports

C. research adapted surfboards D. find practical cures for disabled and paralyzed people 22. By saying “the taste of salt water has no price”, Glasner suggests that ______. A. it took her a long time to get used to the sea water B. surfing skills are difficult for disabled people to develop C. surfing is a cheap sport for disabled people like her D. she really treasures the opportunity to surf again

23. We can conclude from the article that members of AdaptSurf ______.

A. have to help themselves onto their surfboards B. mostly live in a Rio neighborhood by the beach C. are required to meet every weekend throughout the year

D. feel they’ve gotten past their disabilities when they’re on their surfboards 24. We can learn from the article that Henrique Saraiva ______.

A. lost his legs fighting with robbers B. wants to help other people who are like him C. used to be a huge fan of cycling D. rarely feels that he is different from others 25. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Disabled surfers brave the waves of Brazil. B. Why Henrique Saraiva started AdaptSurf.

C. Brazilian disabled people no longer confined to wheelchairs.
