【正文】 he ballpark is a treat. But it can be a terrible experience for those with autistic(自閉癥的)children, who are sensitive to light and noise and usually bee upset and scared. For these families, fear of how their child will react to new situations173。and how others will react to themkeeps them from gaining everyday experiences others get to have. Dr. Wendy Ross was heartbroken to see that. The pediatrician(兒科醫(yī)生)in Philadelphia also knew that separation from the munity didn39。t serve her patients well in the long run. If kids are not in the munity, building their skills from very young ages, then there39。s no reason to expect them to be independent one day, Ross said. It39。s a social disability. It needs to be addressed in a social setting. So in 2007, Ross set out to do just that. Today, her nonprofit, Autism Inclusion Resources, helps families affected by autism deal with challenging social situations, such as sporting events, airport travel and museum visits. Many Major League Baseball teams hold annual 44autism awareness nights, when they take temporary measures such as lowering the volume (音量)on the public address system. But Ross wanted to do more. You can39。t turn down the volume of the world, Ross said. It39。s nice to do it for one night, but our goal is for families to be able to go to a game on any night. To that end, Ross partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies to develop a creative program. She armed all the Phillies players and gameday staff with knowledge about autism and how to interact with individuals who have the disorder. Each family is also provided a clinician at the game who gives additional support if problems arise. She also helps prepare the families for the event. Ross has also found her airport travel program to be successful for families. Using the same principles, she trains airline and security staff at major airports and then guides families through the travel experience, including checking in, going through security and boarding a plane. Ross hopes that the tools she gives families can help them explore other settings on their own. We really see it as a stepping stone to a brighter future, she said.（1）According to Ross, what does a social disability mean?

It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack39。s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp. So, Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. How did this place get its name? Are you sure you want to hear it? It39。s a scary story, warned Jack. Of course! cried out Tom. If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn39。t have chosen this place! Ok, but don39。t say I didn39。t warn you, said Jack, and he began this tale. Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice. 39。You are clearing too much land,39。 warned one old man. 39。The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. 39。 39。Silly fool,39。 said Dennis to himself. 39。If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I39。ll bee wealthier. He39。s just jealous!39。 Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp p
