Unit 1 Living well Defeat DisabilityYang's ambition was to get an architectcertificate or become a bowling master. But when he was conducting experiments with a microscope in the basement, atank on the bench exploded, sending him flying outwards through the exit. He was out of breath when knowing he lost his eyesight as well as70% of his hearing. In other words, he was disabled. Feeling clumsy, he wasannoyedat first though nobody made fun of him. He cut out going outdoors and just sat around at home looking at his parrot or tortoise silently. His sisterresigned to help him in many ways. Her assistance and encouragement were so beneficial to his psychology that he adapted to his disability soon and became outgoing again. In a college accessible to him, he studied politics and literature. He always sat in the frontrow near the entry without any absence. With the help of hishandy laptop, he studied well by means of dictation. His thesis, Abolishing Slavery, met with all professors'approval. After class, he and his companions often playeddrum music, which wasnoisy butsuitablefor his hearing. After graduation, he made high profits for his firmby designing software. All in all, in his community, he won his dignity and people'scongratulations.He always wished all the best to his disabledfellows and encouraged them, “Nevermind! All you have is adequate to get your achievement.”战胜残疾阳的雄心是，要么获得一张建筑师证书，要么成为一名保龄球高手。但是当他在地下室里的显微镜下进行试验时，放在长凳上的一只大桶突然爆炸，把他从出口处炸飞了出去当知道自己除了失去 70%的听力之外，还失去了视力时，他完全喘不过气来。换句话说，他残疾了。最初，尽管没人取笑他，他还是非常恼怒于自己的笨拙。他取消了外出，总是在家里闲坐着，默默地看着他的鹦鹉和乌龟。他的姐姐辞了职，用许多方式帮助他。她的帮助和鼓励对他的心理是如此的有益，以至于他很快就适应了自己的残疾，再次变得外向起来。在一所他可进入的学校里，他学习政治和文学。他总是坐在靠近入口的前排，从不缺席。在他轻便好用的手提电脑的帮助下，他用听写的方式学习得很好。他的论文《废除奴隶制》受到所有教授的一致认可。课后，他和伙伴们还常常演奏大声却适合他听觉的鼓乐。毕业后，他通过设计软件为他的公司赢得了很高的利润。总之，在他的社区里，他赢得了自己的尊严和人们的祝贺。他一直祝福他的残疾伙伴一切顺利，并鼓励他们：“没关系，你们拥有的一切足够你们取得自己的成就！”
