Unit 8 Making a Difference (Period 4)

Section B (2a-Reflecting)

Ⅰ．阅读理解。

Have you been asked for money by some disabled beggars while you’re enjoying shopping? Do you have any pity on them who are so poor and lonely or do you just feel afraid of their terrible shapes? As one of the special groups, disabled people’s living conditions—not only their material conditions, but also their mental world—really need improvement.

The treatment of disabled people should go like this: First, don’t look down upon them. Don’t be afraid of looking at the terrible shapes of the disabled. Try to treat them equally. Because they are part of the society, we can’t discard (抛弃) them. The second is to help them as much as we can. If you can be a volunteer and do some work for disabled people, that would be very nice. That does help not only to disabled people but also to yourself because you will feel good after your kind action. If every one of us gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful wonderland!

Peter and Paul passed by a small house on their way home late at night. They saw thick smoke coming out of its windows.

“It’s on fire!” said Peter. “We must get help.”

The two brothers ran along the road shouting “FIRE! FIRE!”

They knocked on the door of the next house. They asked them to telephone the police and the

firemen.

They ran back to the house. They saw an old lady sitting in an armchair. It was clear that she couldn’t move. Peter and Paul tried hard to carry her out of the house and so they did! Some neighbors came and helped take some things out.

In no time the firemen as well as the policemen arrived. The fire was put out. The old lady cried sadly though she was not hurt. She thanked Peter, Paul and her neighbors for help.
