高中二年级英语(人教版)下册 Unit 17 Integrating Skills 2

　　EQUAL ACCESS

　　Every member of society has the right to education, employment and a reasonable quality of life. As society develops, we have both the opportunity and responsibility to make sure that people with disabilities can live productive and meaningful lives. That means that we must make sure that our streets and public buildings, such as government offices, schools, hospitals, cinemas and libraries, are safe and accessible to all of us.

　　STREETS

　　The streets in our cities should be clean, in good repair and safe. To make sure that blind people can find their way around our cities, we must provide street stones and markers that help them get where they are going. Special stones can be used to show paths and crossings. For those who are in wheelchairs, we should provide level streets and easy access to sidewalks and stores. The ground should be even and hard, and there should be no unmarked holes or other dangers. Signs and traffic lights must be well-placed and easy to read and use.
