Reading on P127 1. What does “equal access” mean? Every member of the society has the right to receive education, employment and a reasonable quality of life.

2. Why is it important to provide equal access? Because if equal access is provided, everyone in society, disabled or not, can enjoy a safe, productive and meaningful life, otherwise the cost of not providing equal access requires more thought, work and money.

3. What may happen if people with disabilities cannot get into public buildings? It will be difficult or impossible for the people with disabilities to receive education, have a job or even live a safe life, in which case great trouble will be brought to the peace and development of the whole society.

4. When discussing how society should help people with disabilities, people sometimes say “Though we are different, we need never be separate.” What do you think this mean? This means some people have come to realize the importance of helping the disabled people. The disabled should

be accepted by the rest of the society and should be treated equally with respect. Only in this way can they make great contributions to our society like ordinary people.
