Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.Then I fainted at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the .first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First Aid. I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheel chair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth. “Stupid kids they have perfectly good legs. Why cant they watch where they are going?” I thought. People stared down at me, pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.“I m just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only difference is youve got legs, and I have wheels.”People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.1. The author once _ when she was healthy. A. laughed at disabled people B. looked down upon disabled people C. imagined herself sitting in a wheelchair D. saw some healthy people moving around in wheelchairs2. Facing the wheelchair for the first time, the author _.

A. life is the best teacher B. people often eat their bitter fruit C. life is so changeable that nobody can foretell D. one should not do to others what he would not like others do to him4. Which is the best title for this passage? A. How to Get Used to Wheelchairs B. The Wheels Are as Good as Two Legs C. People with Two Legs Are Truly Healthy D. The Difference between Healthy People and the DisabledBThe impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude (态度) and manners.A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident (自信的) and positive attitude.When you introduce yourself, make eyes contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others dont.Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit, walk, gesture, use your voice and show feeling on your face are all parts of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positive about yourself? Your abilities? Your interest in the job?Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak, look at the interviewer. Also dont say negative things about yourself, or former employers.Listen to questions carefully. If you dont understand a question, ask the interviewer to repeat or explain.“Im sorry, but I didnt catch that.”“Im not sure exactly what you mean.”Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They dont expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.At the end of the interview, thank the interviewer for her or him. Its a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview, or deliver it by hand.Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.5. It can be inferred from the passage that _.
