B
①People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.

②Seatrac is a chair on a moving ramp (坡道). It can carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either stay in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. When the person wants to get out of the water, he can use the remote control (遥控器) to bring the chair back to the top of the ramp. It’s even possible for him or her to take a shower in the chair after a swim.
③Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean.
④Mr. Fotiou wanted to find an easier way for wheelchair users to get into the water. He worked hard with others to develop the Seatrac system. He made the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar - powered, and can keep running even if the electricity goes out.
⑤This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece and other countries. Thanks to Seatrac, people who use wheelchairs now can cool down in the sea.
