People with disabilities comprise a large part of the population. It is
estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other
disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental”, i. e. , they
occur prior to the individual’s twenty-second birthday, often form genetic
conditions, and are severe enough to effect three or more areas of development,
such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are
considered “adventitious”, i.e. , accidental or caused by outside forces.
Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with
disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was
unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate
in which people with disabilities can expert to have such basic needs as food,
shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basic are often not
available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education,
and again employment have historically been denied on the basic of
disability.
In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to
flight against these infringements (侵害) of civil rights. Congress responded by
passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as protected
class under civil rights statutes.
Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives
independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with
disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are
underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.
Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness,
prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no
longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to
transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities
which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.
It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws are that
disabled people will be fully able to take to their right place in society.

What does the future hold for the problem of housing? A good deal depends, of
course, on the meaning of “future”. If one is thinking in terms of science
fiction and the space age, it is at least possible to assume that man will have
solved such trivial and earthly problems as housing. Writers of science fiction,
from H.G. Wells onwards, have had little to say on the subject. They have
conveyed the suggestion that men will live in great comfort, with every
conceivable apparatus to make life smooth, healthy and easy, if not happy. But
they have not said what his house will be made of. Perhaps some new building
material, as yet unimagined, will have been discovered or invented at least. One
may be certain that bricks and mortar(泥灰，灰浆) will long have gone out of
fashion.
But the problems of the next generation or two can more readily be imagined.
Scientists have already pointed out that unless something is done either to
restrict the world’s rapid growth in population or to discover and develop new
sources of food (or both), millions of people will be dying of starvation or at
the best suffering from underfeeding before this century is out. But nobody has
yet worked out any plan for housing these growing populations. Admittedly the
worst situations will occur in the hottest parts of the world, where housing can
be light structure or in backward areas where standards are traditionally low.
But even the minimum shelter requires materials of some kind and in the teeming,
bulging towns the low-standard “housing” of flattened petrol cans and dirty
canvas is far more wasteful of ground space than can be tolerated.
Since the war, Hong Kong has suffered the kind of crisis which is likely to
arise in many other places during the next generation. Literally millions of
refugees arrived to swell the already growing population and emergency steps had
to be taken rapidly to prevent squalor(肮脏)and disease and the spread crime. The
city is tackling the situation energetically and enormous blocks of
tenements(贫民住宅)are rising at an astonishing aped. But Hong Kong is only one
small part of what will certainly become a vast problem and not merely a housing
problem, because when population grows at this rate there are accompanying
problems of education, transport, hospital services, drainage, water supply and
so on. Not every area may give the same resources as Hong Kong to draw upon and
the search for quicker and cheaper methods of construction must never cease.
1.What is the author’s opinion of housing problems in the first
paragraph?
A.They may be completely solved at sometime in the future.
B.They are unimportant and easily dealt with.
C.They will not be solved until a new building material has been

D.a new way of using bricks and mortar will have been discovered.

before the end of the century ___.
A.is difficult to foresee.
B.will be how to feed the ever growing population.
C.will be how to provide enough houses in the hottest parts of the world.
D.is the question of finding enough ground space.
4.When the writer says that the worst situations will occur in the hottest
parts of the world or in backward areas, he is referring to the fact that in
these parts ___.
A.standards of building are low.
B.only minimum shelter will be possible.

D.the population growth will be the greatest.
5.Which of the following sentences best summarizes Paragraph 3?

B.Hong Kong has successfully dealt with the emergency caused by millions of
refugees.
C.Hong Kong’s crisis was not only a matter of housing but included a number
of other problems of population growth.
D.Many parts of the world may have to face the kind of problems encountered
by Hong Kong and may find it much harder to deal with them.
