Unit 3 新视野大学英语第四册第三课

Preview This unit helps us have a better understanding of what the disabled face, how they look at life and try to live on their own. Passage A gives us an insight into the life of welfare clients in the USA: having to share a dinner of raw cat food, being under the suspicion of cheating and feeling embarrassed when questioned by their caseworkers. Passage B concerns the chance meeting between a businessman and a blind Belgian in Thailand. Acting as the blind man’s eyes taught the businessman to pull the “veil” away from his eyes and look at things with intensity which is often missing. The third passage describes the determination of a blind man to work and support himself without resorting (求助) to pensions. While many would consider him to be unlucky, he refuses to see himself as a victim.
