　 No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but the number may be over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.

　　In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile (可动的) , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.

　　Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude(态度) towards them.

　　Disabled people face many physical barriers(障碍). Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance (无知) represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person(个人) and their ability, not their disability, which counts.

54. The first paragraph points out that ___________.

　 A. it is possible to get an exact number of the world’s disabled people

56. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.

B. The whole society should pay more attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.

C. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.

D. There is still prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance.

57. It can be concluded from the passage that ___________.

　 A. we should try our best to prevent disablement

　 B. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled

　 C. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled

　 D. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down
