Some members, 38 chose to wheelchairs. Others wore sound-blocking earplugs(耳塞)or blindfolds(眼罩). Just sitting in the wheelchair was a 39 experience . I had never considered before how 40 it would be to use one. As soon as I sat down, my 41 made the chair begin to roll . Its wheels were not 42 .Then I wondered where to put my 43 . It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into 44 . I took my first uneasy look at what was to be my only means of 45 for several hours. For disabled people,“ adopting a wheelchair ” is not a temporary(临时的) 46
I tried to find a 47 position and thought it might be restful, 48 kind of nice, to be 49 around for a while. Looking around, I 50 I would have to handle the thing myself! My hands started to ache as I 51 the heavy metal wheels, I came to know that controlling the 52 of the wheelchair was not going to be a(n) 53 task.
My wheelchair experiment was soon 54 .It made a deep impression on me. A few hours of “disability” gave me only a taste of the 55 , both physical and mental, that disabled people must overcome. 36. A. curious about

近日，参加了一个叫做“Sensitivity Sunday”的团体活动。此活动的目的是为了让我们了解残疾人所面对的问题。周日，我们被要求用残疾人的方式生活几个小时。有些人像我一样选择了轮椅；而有些人选择了戴耳机或眼罩。
坐在轮椅上是一种很放松的体验。但后来我才意识到操作轮椅是件多么艰难（笨拙）的事儿。轮子没有上锁，我一坐上去，自身的重量就使轮椅动了起来。我不知道该把脚放在哪里，故而花了好长时间才把金属搁脚板给弄好。此时的我，不安地看着未来几个小时内唯一的交通工具。对于残疾人来说，用轮椅却不是一

我试图找个舒服安静的地方甚至被推着转转也好，甚至被推着到处走走也好。环顾四周，心想只能靠自己来应对这一切了。由于要转动沉重的轮子，我的手开始疼痛起来，也开始意识到控制轮椅的方向并不是件容易的事。
我的体验很快就结束了。但此次体验留给我的影响却是挥之不去。几个小时的“残疾”生活让我挑战了自己的身心，而这却是残疾人不得不克服的。
