SECTION A
Directions: In this ction, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete th
e statements in the FEWEST possible answers questions are bad on the following passage.
computergameSince the Americans with Disabilities Act became law 10 years ago, the phra “assistive technology” has become a common phra and a booming business. In addition to the installation of sidewalk curb cuts and specially designed access ramps, lifts and bathrooms in public places, a wide array of electronic devices and other equipment has been designed to help tho with varying degrees of disabilities lead more enjoyable and productive lives. The popularization of products to assist the disabled has triggered a business boom life of many people with disabilities. The advances have allowed people to live independently, to work and participate in their communities.”
Many entrepreneurs get into the assistive technology business literally by accident. For example, one of the world’s top 10 motorcycle racers was involved in a car accident in 1978 which left him blind. He then studied computer science, started his own company, and developed a program that reads the content of a computer screen through specialized software and simulated speech synthesizers.
paleLarge companies are investing in products for tho with disabilities. In June 2000, the California Council on the Blind and Wells Fargo Bank announced what they said might be the nation’s first effort to install talking automated teller machines. Wells pledged to install audio headphones for visually impaired customers at each of its more than 1,500 ATMs in California.
Despite technological advances and the law that for 10 years has banned employers from discriminating against job applicants becau they have a physical or mental disability, not all the news is good. The Center for an accessible Society reports that American employers have yet to successfully tap the market of 43 million working-age Americans with disabilities. Although the unemployment rate is the lowest in 30 years, Americans with disabilities still have an unemployment rate of 70 percent, the same level as a decade ago.
