Passage 1
I was born with a disability that affects my balance, causing me to walk with a limp. Not only
does it affect the function of the legs, but it also has an impact on the kidneys.
The disability has had its ups and downs. As a young child, I can remember the way other children would stare at me becau of the way that I walked. There were many times that my schoolmates would laugh at me and call my names simply becau of their lack of understanding, especially back in the mid 70s and early 80s. Children then were just unwilling to take the time to learn why one of their classmates might walk, speak or em noticeably different from themlves.
Now that I am an adult, I have noticed that the stares and names have begun to fade, and judgments that once were negative have begun to turn toward acceptance. The signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has played a great part in breaking down some of tho barriers(障碍) that, as a child, left me to fight a war that emed to have no end. Now I look beyond what I can’t do and focus on what I can. I have learned that limitations open doors that have been clod, showing other ways to meet our needs. I have always looked at life as a challenge, grasping each obstacle with open arms.
There is nothing in this world that comes easy. I must stand tall and look forward, to be ever so ready for what still lies ahead. People often feel sorry for tho who were born with some type of disability. But their compassion (怜悯) is misplaced.
Yes, I may not be able to run as fast or perform certain tasks, but my disability gives me a better look at life and all that is around me. I want to be en not as a disability but as a person who has, and will continue to, bloom (成长). So I decided to become an advocate (倡导者) on behalf of disabled Americans, to fight for our rights that for so long have been ignored.
I feel that it only takes one powerful voice to change the minds of many nations, and as long as I have a mouth to u and a mind to think I will continue to work to bring peace upon the disabled community.

Passage 2
I ’m coming off this plane, and landing at London airport. I am looking around for a middle-aged woman, my aunt Penn, who I’ve en in pictures. The photographs are out of date, but she looked like the type who would wear a big necklace (项链) and flat shoes, and maybe some kind of narrow dress in black or gray. But I’m just guessing since the pictures only showed her face.
Anyway, I’m looking and looking and everyone’s leaving and there is no signal on my phone and I’m thinking Oh great, I’m going to be abandoned at the airport so that’s two countries they don’t want me in, when I notice everyone’s gone except this kid who comers up to me and says, “You must be Daisy.” And when I look relieved he does too and says, “I’m Edmond.”
