As Alice and Mike watched their son Allan graduate from Cambridge University last month, they thought back to the moment he was born.
“I’m so sorry your baby is blind,” a neighbor had said. Even though Allan’s family were middle class and they lived a comfortable life, as a blind child, Allan Hennessy’s future was poor.
The local hospitals could not offer Allan hope of giving him sight because there weren’t enough eye specialists. But when Allan was 6 months old, an opportunity came and Allan’s father seized it. “My dad sold his car, belongings and some of his land to pay for my treatment. We left our home country with very little.”
The opportunity was an operation in London which restored the sight in Allan’s left eye. “My mom remembers the first time I looked at her: the first time we made eye contact. She burst into tears. Since then, I’ve just been rocking on with the little sight I have,” he explained.
For Allan, life as an immigrant was challenging. When he was accepted into Cambridge University, Allan realized there were so many peers at Cambridge.
“I felt visibly different,” he said. When you’re a half-blind guy climbing the greasy pole, everyone can see that and they judge you, even though they are climbing it too.”
But after spending three years at Fitzwilliam College, Allan said it was transformative(改造作用的). “I met the most amazing people from all over the world.” What would his life be like if he had stayed in his home country? “I wouldn’t have a Cambridge law degree; I wouldn’t even be sighted. My family there have faced terrible events. Perhaps I wouldn’t be alive.”
After graduating this summer, Allan is taking up a scholarship at law school.
“If you’ve got a first-class law degree from Cambridge University, that should set you up for life,” he said. “But when you’re a half-blind immigrant living in Britain today, there is so much more I have to do. The journey has only just begun.”
1.When Allan was born, __________.
A.a local doctor offered to help with his eye problems
B.he lived in a poor area
C.his family was ready to move to London
D.he couldn’t see anything
2.The underlined word “ it” in Paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A.the selling of Mike’s belongings
B.an operation to cure Allan’s eyes
C.the comfortable life in London
D.the bright future of the family
3.How was Allan’s life in Cambridge?
A.He was helped by many of his peers.
B.He worked hard to keep up with his peers.
C.He was bullied by others for many years.
D.He found it challenging but life-changing.
4.We can infer from the last paragraph that Allan__________.
A.won’t stop challenging himself in the future
B.is proud of his achievements in college
C.is determined to help other half-blind students
D.is unsatisfied with his life as an immigrant
