He hit himself in the eye with one of his father's sharp tools, and became blind. His name was Louis Braille, and he was only four years old.He was a clever little boy, and he soon learned to “see without his eyes. He touched things, or smelled them, or tasted them. His family described things to him. Although he couldnt see peoples faces, he learned to recognize their voices.After his seventh birthday, Louis went to the little school in the village. But there werent any books for him. His classmates read his lessons to him and his sisters helped him with his homework. He learned his lessons well, but he couldnt learn to read or write.In 1819, the village priest (牧师) told Louis Braille's story to the director of a famous school for blind boys. At this school, boys learned math, grammar, geography, history, and music. And they learned to read!Louis went to the school in Paris in February, 1819. He loved his classes and received high grades. He learned to play the piano and to knit (编织) hats and sweaters. And he learned to read with his fingers!The raised-print letters in the books at school stood up from the surface of the paper. Louis could feel them with his fingers. He was able to recognize some of them easily, but some of them were difficult. The letters had to be very large, and sometimes there were only a few letters on a page. The books were huge and heavy. And they were expensive. There were only fourteen books in the school library!Louis read the three or four books for his class again and again. He tried to think of a better way to make books for blind people. He experimented with new alphabets.After about three years, Louis invented a system of raised dots. The other students thought Louis's system was wonderful. They were able to read it easily, and they learned to write, too.Today, there are thousands of Braille books for blind people. Louis Braille was only fifteen years old when he invented his wonderful system!61. Without his eyes, he could also “see by _ .A. touching things B. smelling or tasting thingsC. trying to recognize people's voices D. all the above ways62. He went to _ in February, 1819.A. a famous school for blind boys in Paris B. a music school for blind people C. a private school for blind people D. a school for blind people far away from Paris63. Louis Braille became famous because he invented _ .A. the English alphabet B. a system of raised dots to make books for blind peopleC. books for blind people to learn maths D. grammar books for blind people64. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. His fathers carelessness made Louis Braille blind B. With the help of priest, Louis Braille went to the school in Paris in 1819 C. Louis Braille is the only one who reads with fingers in the school. D. It took him about 15 years to invent a system of raised dots65. The main idea of this passage is that _.A. Louis was a good student at the school in ParisB. he learned to “see with the help of booksC. he invented a system of raised dots to make books easier for blind people to readD. there are thousands of Braille books for blind peopleBDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet We are surrounded by the word “diet everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically (心理) and physically. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption(消费) of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow(吞咽) or recognize the word “diet in food labels. On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous. Now that we are aware of the effects that
