Language points
1. I’m sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. (教材P14 2b)

eg：He was born disabled but he didn’t give up.他生来残疾，但他没有放弃。
I worked as a volunteer to help the disabled.
我是一名帮助残疾人的志愿者。
【拓展】 一些词加否定前缀dis-可以构成它的反义词，如：
agree (同意) — disagree (不同意)
appear (出现) — disappear (消失)
2. I’m sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me.(教材P14 2b)
set up意为“建立；设立”，在此处为被动语态（be + done）set up 还可意为“摆放好” 。
eg：Tom, set up the table for dinner. 汤姆，摆好桌子准备吃饭。
I set up the computer so that they could work from home.
我把电脑设置好，这样他们就可以在家办公了。
3. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. (教材P14 2b)
该结构中it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式短语。常用在动词find, think, make, consider, feel 等之后。固定句型：主+ find/think/make it + adj. + (for sb.) + to do……“发现/认为/使得做某事……”。
eg：I think it necessary for us to have a good rest after the boring work.
我认为对我们来说，在烦闷的工作之后好好休息是有必要的。

eg：You can imagine the situation there. 你可以想象那里的情况。
I can't imagine what he looks like.我想象不出他是什么长相。
I can’t imagine walking all the way to the North Pole. 我无法想象怎样一路走到北极去。

5. I can’t use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. (教材P14 2b)
【易混辨析】 carry, take, bring与get
