Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. Video games have become increasingly popular in both arcades and the average American home. People of all ages and from all walks of life are enjoying hours of entertainment by feeding their time and quarters into these flashing, beeping machines. Many skeptics as well as prospective arcade owners have asked what it is that gives Pac Man, Centipede, and a multitude of other popular games their magnetic appeal to millions of players. As a video player myself, I believe there are many answers to that question but three are outstanding. Before a full-scale attack is launched against young video players for "throwing away" their quarters, one should first consider the rising costs of more traditional forms of entertainment. For instance, eighteen holes of miniature golf or ten frames of bowling will cost the player at least two dollars, and one movie costs four bucks. For just two dollars, a video player can get at least eight games, and the better he gets, the longer he can play. Compare that record with the game of miniature golf, where the better one becomes, the shorter amount of time he gets to play. Not only are the games less expensive than other forms of entertainment, hut they are also more in tune with the important issues of the day. Even those people who have never been interested in science are beginning to appreciate how much science influences our lives today. Video games, which are the products of advanced technology and uncontrolled imagination, have brought today’s youth closer than ever to the exciting world of science by games. In fact, there are even cartridges which teach garners how to program computers. It is exciting to be involved with the most up-to-date ideas of the day, and video games help provide people with the opportunity to be involved. Besides the fact that they help people to get involved in technology, video games also pro vide an outlet for the emotions and the ego. If a man gets frustrated with his boss, for example, he can go to the arcade after work to destroy enemy cruisers rather than drown his anxieties in liquor. Also, for those who feel they are not capable of excelling at anything, the games provide am. challenges which are easily mastered with patience and practice. It gives a person a good feeling to know that he has broken his own record or that of someone else. It can be inferred that Pac Man and Centipede are ______.

People with disabilities comprise a large part of the population. It is 62 that over 35 million Americans have physical, 63 , or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are "developmental", i.e., they 64 prior to the individual’s twenty second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are 65 enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered "adventitious", i.e., 66 or caused by outside forces. Prior to the 20th century, only a small percent age of people with disabilities 67 for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was 68 Advancements in medicine and social services have 69 a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. 70 , these basics are often not available. 71 liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been 72 on the basis of disability. In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight 73 these infringements (侵害) of civil right. Congress responded by passing major 74 recognizing people with disabilities 75 a protected class under civil rights statutes. 76 today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a 77 of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level. Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public 78 , prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer 79 by law from marrying, a person with no 80 to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities Which might lead to the development of long-term relationships. It will only be when public attitude advance as far as laws have 81 disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.
