The Importance of Accessibility Awareness

At a recent meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. I was amazed to hear about the challenges (21) (face) by people with physical disabilities. However, (22) amazed me most was the great importance of education abouthandicap (残障） facilities. Two women who (23) (use) wheelchairs all their life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to (24) (raise)awareness about disabilities. They educate about all the facilities for people with disabilities. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. So people (25)

disabilities need to be educated about these facilities. And the meeting focused on educating the

public.Some handicap spots have extraroom next to them, marked with the “ No Parking “ (26) I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it/ 5

some people say. However, the women (27) use a wheelchair disagree to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful. Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. (28) it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education. People who (29) (inform) of the rail ’use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack (停放架 ).Meeting

some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about facilities made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be (30) (few) challenges for people with physical

disabilities.

Could It Be a Work by Rembrandt（伦勃朗）

Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters.

However, there are 31 _ whether some paintings attributed ( 归

属） to

3

” signs.

Rembrandt were actually painted by him. One such painting is known as attributed to Rembrandt because of its style, and indeed the represenation of the woman ’ s face is very much like that of portraits known to be by Rembrandt. But there are problems with the painting that 32 it could not be a work by Rembrandt.

First, there is something inconsistent （不一致） about the way the woman in the 33 i s dressed. She is wearing a white linen cap of a kind that only servants would wear— -yet the coat she is wearing has a_ 34 fur collar that no

servant could

afford. Rembrandt, who was known for his attention to the details of his subjects' clothing, would not have been 35 of such an inconsistency. Second, Rembrandt was a master of painting light and_ 36 , but in this

painting these

elements do not fit together. The face appears to beilluminated （照亮） by light _ 37_ onto it from below. But below the face is the dark fur collar, which would absorb light rather than

reflect it. So the face should appear partially in shadow, which is not how it appears. Rembrandt would never have made such an error.

Finally, examination of the back of the painting 38 that it was painted on a

panel made

of several pieces of wood 39 together. Although Rembrandt often painted on wood panels (面板 )s no painting known to be by Rembrandt was painted in this way. For these reasons, the painting was 40 from the official catalog of Rembrandt

’paintings in the 1930s.

A Question of Judgment

Human beings are, in principle, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At first glance, this might seem like a strength that 41 people the ability to make judgments which are independent of 42 factors. But in a world of quotas（配额） and limits — 43 , the world in which most professional people

operate— Dr. Simonsohn reported in Psychological Science that it was actually a weakness since an inability to consider the big picture was leading decision-makers to be biased(有偏见 ） by the daily samples they were working with. For example, he supposed that a judge fearful of appearing too soft on crime might be more likely to send someone to prison 44 he had already sentenced five or six otherdefendant（s 被告） only to forced community service on that day.

To 45_ this idea, Dr. Simonsohn. and his assistants turned their attention to the university-admissions process. Admissions officers interview hundreds of applicants every year, at a rate of 4% a day, and can offer entry to about 40% of them. In theory, the 46 of an

applicant should not depend on the few others 47 randomly for interview during the same day, but Dr. Simonsohn suspected the truth was otherwise.
