Not long ago, I was at a state conference (会议) with a group preparing for a week of meetings. I walked into the room where a handful of volunteers were ______ collating (装订整理) handouts. I asked if I could help. One of the ladies _____ said “Oh, no, thank you” and offered me a chair to just sit while they worked.

Then, another volunteer came into the room, saw me sitting there doing nothing and said: “Hey, Larry, come on over here. There’s work to do, and you can help.” He put a couple of chairs ______, placed two stacks of handouts on them and ______: “OK, the left sheet goes on top of the right one.”

“Fine. I can handle that,” I said. And just like that, I was now part of the team.

This member of the group saw that my ______ did not mean an inability to help. ______, I thanked him for having included me, and asked ______ motivated his action. He said: “Well, I figured ______ one more set of hands we’d finish more quickly. I was just using ______.”

I’m sure that the kind folks who initially (最初) ______ my offer of help did not mean to offend (冒犯) me. It just seemed more appropriate to them to say “No, thank you” than to stop their work and try and ______ how to include me. And that’s the real issue here. Too often, people with disabilities are _______ – within their _____ or within a social setting – because of their disability and not because of their inability.

It’s important for all of us to feel part of the group and to feel that we ______. It’s important to our self-esteem (自尊). And it is even more important for people with disabilities. ______ means we are accepted, appreciated and _____ as a full and ______ member of the group. It sends a ______ that states: “To us, your abilities are more important than your disability.”
