In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I cant run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors dont know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live One day at a time. Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds. One problem is that I dont look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes, too, I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others. My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me. The few who cannot see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up. Last year invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around feeling sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends, I spend a lot of time with my pets. I have two rabbits, a parrot, a tank full of fish and a tortoise. To look after my pets properly takes a lot of time but I find it worthwhile. I also have to do a lot of work, especially if I have been away for a while. In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more independent. I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If I had a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So dont feel sorry for the disabled or make fun of them, and dont ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live as rich and full a life as you do. Thank you for reading my story.Unit 1马丁的故事嗨,我的名字是马丁。费尔丁和我猜你会说我是“万中挑一。换句话说,没有很多象我这样的人。你看,我有一个肌肉疾病,这使我很弱,所以我不会跑或爬楼梯,就像其他的人。此外,有时我很笨手笨脚下降,事物或撞到家具。不幸的是,医生们不知道如何让自己变得更美好,但我非常的友好,并且已经学会适应我的障碍。我的座右铭是:过好生活中的每一天。直到我十岁的时候我相同于其他人一样。我过去爬树,游泳和踢足球。事实上,我常常渴望发挥专业足球,可能代表我的国家在世界杯上的表现。然后我开始变得虚弱,直到我能只喜欢足球长凳上在体育馆里。最后我走进医院医疗试验。我在那儿呆了将近三个月了。我想我至少有10亿测试,包括在其中,他们剪断出块肌肉从我的腿而且看一看在显微镜下观察。即使听完了所有,没人能给我的病一个名字,很难知道以后会发生什么吧。”所面临的一个问题是我看起来不任何与别人不同。所以有时候有些孩子会笑我的小学,我走出跑步后呼吸短角球,不得不停下来休息爬到楼梯的一半。有时我太弱,所以我去学校教育的痛苦。每次我回来,我感到在离开笨,是因为我是在别人后面了。我的生活是很容易在高中,因为同学们已经接受了我。那些无法看到真正的人,在我的身体不使我很烦,我对它们不予理会。总之我有一个好的生活。我很高兴地发现许多事情我能做的事,比如写作和计算机编程。我的愿望是为一家公司工作开展计算机软件,当我长大。去年我发明了一种计算机的足球比赛和一个大公司决定购买我。我有一个非常忙碌的生活没有时间坐着为自己难过。以及在看电影和橄榄球场比赛,我的朋友,我花很多时间和我的宠物。我有两只兔子,一只鹦鹉,一辆坦克满了鱼和一只乌龟。照看我的宠物正确需要很多的时间,而且我发现它值得的。我也要做很多工作,特别是我已经离开一会儿。在很多方面,我的残疾使我更强的心理,会变得更加独立。我必须努力工作来过一个正常的生活了,但是它是值得的。如果我有机会说一件事对健康的孩子,那就是:有残疾并不意味着你目前的生活很不满意。所以不要惋惜身心障碍者或取笑他们,不要忽略这些标准。只接受他们,给他们鼓励丰富的生活让你的生活。谢谢你读我的故事。A LETTER TO AN ARCHITECT Look at the pictures. Discuss the problems that people with walking difficulties might have in a cinema. Ms L Sanders Alice Major Chief architect 64 Cambridge Street Cinema Designs Bankstown 44 Hill Street Bankstown 24 September, 200_Dear Ms Sanders, I read in the newspaper today that you are to be the architect for the new Bankstown cinema.I hope you will not mind me writing to ask if you have thought about the needs of disabled customers. In particular I wonder if you have considered the following things: 1 Adequate access for wheelchairs. It would be handy to have lifts to all parts of the cinema. The buttons in the lifts should be easy for a person in a wheelchair to reach, and the doors be wide enough to enter. In some cinemas, the lifts
