《全新版大学英语(第二版) 长篇阅读2》:
I know beauty is something I will never have.So I didn't dream of becoming beautiful.But I didn't see it as something bad because it forced me to concentrate my energy to develop my other qualities.What people see in the handicapped is only their appearance of being handicapped.People are not impressed with the ability that lies inside every handicapped person.
My dream was simple, I dreamed of becoming a typist when I was in secondary school.I always hoped to be able to master the typewriter.This magic machine would be my passport to getting a job.I come from a poor family of five children and the best that my parents could give us was a good school education.But, of course, this achievement proved to be no sure guarantee of getting a job in an office.The employment field was a highly competitive place.It gave not only keen competition to a handicapped job—seeker but also the unfriendly treatment from the physically strong and healthy.They see the handicapped as the back row of society.
