david helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. ten years in a mental

disabled people there are in the world.the number of disabled people in india alone is probably more than double the total population of canada.in the united kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. some people are born with disabilities. many others become disabled as they get older. there are many progressive disabling diseases. the longer time goes on, the worse

the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. but none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. one possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by american scientist, professor carl sagan.sagan believes that before the earths resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself. the difficult is that venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of
