26、as a strong and brave heart.23（8分） Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit.Once, a

27、 young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be lame throughout his life.But the brave boy did no

28、t want to die nor did he want to be lame. Much to the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Eventually he left the hospital. But his determination to walk was unshakable. At home, when he was

29、not in bed, he had to stay in a wheelchair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him.

31、am.In February 1934, in New York Citys Madison Square Garden, this young man who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run - this determined young man, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the worlds fastest mile.A good example of the power of positive thinking and f

36、asic choices: They can receive almost $ 3 ,000 a month in disability benefits along with medical care and access to other various welfare programs, or they can try to find a job. Especially in this economy, its no wonder that many find that first option hard to turn down.Mark Duggan, an economics pr

37、ofessor at Stanford University, reports that enrollment in the U. S. veterans disability programs rose from 2.3 million in 2001 to 3.9 million in 2014. The percentage of veterans receiving benefits doubled, from 8.9% in 2001 to 18% in 2014. Disability services for veterans now consume $59 billion.In

38、 the 1980s and 1990s, male veterans were more likely to be in the labor force than nonveterans. But since 2000, that has changed dramatically. Now there is a 4% gap between veteran and non-veteran labor participation, with veteran participation lower.Navy SEAL Eric Greitens, the founder of The Missi

39、on Continues, explains how soldiers who served their country are transformed into welfare receivers who live off their country.“When veterans come home from war they are going through a tremendous change in identity, ” he says. “Then the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and others, enco

40、urage them to view themselves as disabled.” By the time they come to Greitens non-profit organization, “We meet a number of veterans who see themselves as charity cases and are not sure anymore what they have to contribute.”There are also more practical factors driving the disability boom. One is th

41、e expansion of qualification criteria. In 2000, for instance, type 2 diabetes was added as a disability because of evidence linking exposure to Agent Orange with the onset of the disease. Heart disease has also been added to the list.Another possible factor is that younger veterans seem less against

42、 welfare than their parents generation. Veterans who have served since the 1990s are much more likely to sign up for disability than their older counterparts; 1 in 4 younger veterans is on disability, versus just 1 in 7 of those over age 54.We shouldnt go back to the bad old days when veterans were

43、afraid to admit weakness. But Lt. Col. Daniel Gade is one of many veterans who think our disability system is harmful, psychologically, to former soldiers. Gade lost his leg in combat in 2005 and now teaches at West Point. He recently gave a talk to disabled veterans at Ft. Carson, in which he urged

44、 them to rejoin the workforce.“People who stay home because they are getting paid enough to get by on disability are worse off,” he warned. “They are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. They are more likely to live alone.”What a waste of human potential, especially since most veterans on disabil

45、ity still have their prime working years ahead of them when theyre discharged（遣退）.We could solve this problem by changing the way we view-and label-veterans with disabilities. As Gade noted in a recent article, “Veterans should be viewed as resources, not as damaged goods.” He recommended that “effo

46、rts to help veterans should begin by recognizing their abilities rather than focusing only on then disabilities, and should serve the ultimate aim of moving wounded soldiers to real self-sufficiency.”On a more practical note, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs could reallocate（再分配）reso

47、urces to spend more on job training and less on disability. Current placement programs are sadly inadequate.We are good at sending soldiers off to war. Yet when these young men and women return home, they are essentially told, “Well give you enough for a reasonably comfortable life, but we wont help

48、 you find a job.”It is unreasonable that we are condemning thousands of young veterans who served their country to life on the dole（失业救济金）rather than enabling them to re-enter the workforce with the necessary accommodations.1、What do more and more wounded veterans appear to do nowadays?ADepend on th

49、e government for a living.BBe treated badly in most workplaces.CAsk the government for more dole.DSpend more time on job hunting.2、How does Mark Duggan prove his opinion in the passage?ABy listing figures.

DReceive many disability benefits.4、One of the reasons why there are more disabled veterans is that .Adamage from the war is greater than everBveterans have suffered much more than
