-*- A B C When Haben Girma was in college at LewisClark,she had to solve a problem that few other students have faced.As a deaf-blind student with very limited sight and hearing,she had a hard time figuring out the food stations in her school’s cafeteria. As she explained in a speech on Jan.16,2012,at the Perkins School for the Blind,she came up with a plan that she would be emailed the menu each day for each station and could pick her destination accordingly,instead of just taking whatever was put on her plate.But the cafeteria sent the email only about half the time.When she wrote to the cafeteria manager to complain,he responded,as she described in her speech,“that they were very busy,that they were doing me a big favor,and that I should stop complaining and be more appreciative.” -*- A B C At that point,Girma turned to the law:“I explained that Title Ⅲ of the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) requires businesses to make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities;if the cafeteria refused to do this,I would sue(起诉).” The manager found her during mealtime the next day and apologized,and from then on she received the menu each day. -*- A B C Girma’s parents and teachers taught her from an early age that her life need not be limited by her disabilities and that each problem had a solution.At her local public school in Oakland,Calif.,she learned sign language and Braille.She tried rock climbing,skiing,biking and dance.Yet her parents initially hesitated when,during high school,Girma told them she wanted to volunteer in Mali with a group building schools.“I was 15 and I was traveling outside the country without family,”she says.“And it was amazing.It really helped develop my confidence.If I can go to build a school in West Africa,I can go to law school.”Girma is right because she is now a student at Harvard Law School. 【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了残疾人Haben Girma争取自身权益并不断提升自我的故事。 -*- A B C 1.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
