American DanceWheels Foundation (ADF) is an artistic organization that trains those with disabilities, their able-bodied partners, ballroom dance teachers, adaptive therapists (特定療法技 J/帀）in the art of Wheelchair Ballroom and Latin Dancing(WBLD ). In the dancing the male leads regardless whether he is standing or seated in a wheelchair. ADF focuses on social dancing and is not driven by competitions although they can progress to competitions if they choose. If you can move your wheelchair and take direction you can dance. Both who use either power or wheelchairs, full or part-time, are encouraged to participate.

ADF has now brought its WheelOne™ syllabus (教學(xué)大 綱）into two distinct areas of education: public schools and universities.

Public Schools

WBLD can be used as a physical education course for students with disabilities. It removes the separation that many other activities create since it requires a mix of these students with able-bodied partners. It encourages integration (融合）of disabled students with others in the school and the community overall. Wheelchair dancing also helps to build respect among the partners.

Universities

ADF is proud to announce that it has developed the first approved course in WBLD in the United States. This program started in February, 2008 and is developing new seated and standing wheelchair dancers each term.

The WheelOne™ syllabus teaches a specialized skill that is perfect for future dance teachers as well as future therapists. Able-bodied students learn all four aspects of the dances (able-bodied male, male wheelchair dancer, able-bodied female and female wheelchair dancer). Students will get a much better understanding of what it is like to be in a wheelchair.

Students will learn adaptations required for working with a different group of dancers. This training can even lead to a full ADF Certification Course Program.

For at least a decade, Bridgette Haffher routinely ran into John Grant

Her parents immigrated from Sierra Leone in the early 1970s before she was born. In Washington, the family found a booming community of immigrants from their country. And almost any occasion (時(shí)刻）~birthday party, graduation, baby shower-was cause for a big, lively celebration.

Grant was quickly pulled into the same circle when he moved to the area in 1994. He left Sierra Leone at age 18，went to the University of Maryland and became an accountant. He knew Haffher only well enough to say hello, but he was always looking for an opportunity to continue the conversation.

"She was beautiful, and I liked her character," says Grant, now 40. "But she was always with her mom and sister, so she was inaccessible. She was hard to get."

Haffner thought Grant seemed like a nice guy~he was always smiling, even if he never said much. But she didn't think much more about him. After college, she'd lived in Spain for a year before returning to the United States to help her mother and grandmother, who were both ill. Unsatisfied with the care they received, she went to nursing school and started working in health care. Once they were healthy, she focused on becoming a lawyer and living abroad.

At a gathering in 2010，Grant asked Haffiier if he could call her. She was surprised by his interest but gave him her number. They began to talk almost nightly.

The conversations were "very lively", recalls Haffher，now 37. "We had a lot in common, and we could talk as friends."

They were both devoted to their families, their jobs and travel. When Haffher mentioned she loved soccer，Grant invited her to watch a World Cup game at Lucky Bar near Dupont Circle. Haffiier_s who grew up in a very traditional family and didn't drink, had never been to a bar. She was delighted by the invitation and soaked up (沉浸于）the rough atmosphere-and Grant's company.

56.It can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph that immigrants in the community_____.

A. led a very hard life                                B. had a lot of work to do

C. didn't welcome outsiders                       D. enjoyed themselves very much
