Part V. Reading ComprehensionA. The Paralympic Games are an organized international competition for outstanding athletes with all
types of physical disabilities, including blindness, paraplegia, amputation, and cerebral palsy. The concept of
athletic competition for disabled people was developed by Dr. Ludwig Gettman in England, who found that
sports helped in the rehabilitation of servicemen disabled in World War II. Male and female Paralympic athletes
compete in archery, track and field, table tennis, basketball, shooting, racquetball, tennis, swimming, and weigh
lifting. Through sports, the Paralympics force us to realize that we are more alike than different. The unique,
positive spirit of the Paralympics brings many opportunities for us to experience the common humanity that lies
within every human being. The runner from Taiwan who is blind, the Russian swimmer with cerebral palsy, and
the Australian wheelchair archery star all possess the power of human spirit to inspire us.
