In 1998, a Belgian student named Sacha Klein left Brussels and enrolled as a four-year student at a U. S. university, graduating with a computer-science degree, and landing a summer internship at Virginia-based consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, where management liked him enough to offer him a full-time position. Today, he designs information systems for Booz Alien, and studies toward a master’s degree in business.
He is deaf.
【R6】______In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)opened the door for people like Klein to contribute to the U. S. economy in ways no one imagined before. The ADA requires businesses to make accommodations to allow a person with a disability to do a job for which he or she is qualified.
In addition, the ADA requires public facilities to remove architectural barriers that hinder people with disabilities from shopping, going to the theater, or using public toilets.
【R7】______Katherine McCary, president of a business group that promotes hiring people with disabilities, said European managers tell her they want to hire people with disabilities, but that they can’t get to work.
【R8】______Had he stayed in Europe, he said, he would not have been able to become a white-collar professional, but would have been put on track for factory work.
【R9】______A federal hotline offering advice on workplace accommodations went from handling 3, 000 calls per year before the law to 40, 000 calls per year in the mid-1990s.
The cost of accommodations turned out to be zero in half the cases and averaged about $ 500 in the other half, according to the Labor Department. 【R10】______
Compliance with the law is good for business: 87 percent of consumers prefer to patronize companies that hire people with disabilities, according to a January 2006 survey by the University of Massachusetts. In addition, workers with disabilities could help relieve a labor shortage.
A. Klein thinks attitudes matter, too.
B. Employers report that workers with disabilities are loyal and productive.
C. Klein said he has learned a lot at Booz Allen about teamwork and communication.
D. While one can paint a rosy picture of U. S. companies embracing people with disabilities, in the early 1990s, the ADA was greeted with panic by the business community, which predicted enormous costs and out-of-control litigation.
E. Since the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which obligated government agencies to hire people with disabilities, Congress has passed 11 major laws to improve access to education, transportation, technology, and housing.
F. Some experts believe such widespread architectural changes have put the United States ahead of the 44 other countries with disability-discrimination laws.
【R10】
选项
答案
B
解析
上下文语义。根据前文的内容the cost of accommodations此段是讲述雇佣workers withdisabilities的好处,选项B也是相近的内容,与前文符合逻辑。故答案为B。
