Passage Three
No one knows exactly how many disabled (残废的) 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 (可动的), 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 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 on to 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 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, which counts.
41. The first paragraph points out that ______.
A. it is possible to get an exact figure 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

第10题:
Informal conversation is an important part of any business
relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand
which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos (禁忌) in a particular
culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history,
art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show
pictures of their children. Yon may feel flee to ask similar questions of your
Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and
they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them,
arguments can be interesting-and they can cover pretty much or any topic-as long
as they occur in a respectful and intelligent (智慧的) manner.
In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of
topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan,
China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much
about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so
might take away from the harmonious (和谐的) business relationship they’re trying
to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and
family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from
Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As general rule, it’s
best not to talk about politics or religion (宗教) with your business friends.
This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold
different views. In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered
unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world,
although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and
praise your host’s team.Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the
