A Man of Vision(视觉)

In 1809, Louis Braille was born in a small town in France.When he was three years old, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes.The sickness spread to his other eye. Later, Louiswas unable to see.

Louis’s parents took him out of schooltwo years later. They thought that there was nothing more for him to learn there. He could not read or write.

When he was ten years old, Louis’s parents sent him to a special school inParis. It was one of the first schools for blind people in the world. Louis learned many skills at this school. Oneof them was reading.

Back then, blind people read by feeling raised letters on the paper. But it was difficult. Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes.

Louis wantedto find a better way for blind people to read. He tried to create a touch system for reading and writing. He believed a system of raised dot（小点）could help. Night Writing-a writing system for soldiers was used. But he didn’t think it was good enough. This system did not allow the fingertip（指尖）to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel theletter.

After years of hard work, he invented a shorter, easier form of this touch system. He used six dots to form each letter. It allowed a personto feel a whole letter without moving. Blind people could read much faster and easier.

Today, we call this form of written language Braillein honour of Louis Braille.

Louis died in 1852. However, his form of communication lives on. Though he became blind at a young age,he insisted a lot. Instead, he overcame the difficulty, and madea big difference.

1. When Louis was three years old, he __________.

A. was sent to a special school

B. moved to a town in France

D. hurt one of his eyes

2.For blind people, feeling raised letters on the paper was difficult because _________.

A. they neededto learn special skills

B. they couldn’tfeel a whole letter

C.they could not see them clearly

D.too many letters felt the same

3. With Louis’s system, blind people could read _________.

A. slower　 B.easier　 C. harder　 D. louder

4. According to the passage, what can we learn from Louis?

A. Always follow the rules.

B. Be friendly with our friends.

Pieter Bruegel was a famous artist who lived in Europe five hundred years ago. He is well known for a painting called Children’s Games. People like this painting because it is full of fun. It shows how children in Pieter’s time enjoyed themselves in different ways. In all, there are about eighty games being played in the painting.

Children’s Games shows a busy street scene in a town long ago. The street is a wide and open space. There are no cars, so there is plenty of room to play. There are about two hundred children in the painting. Some play in groups and others play alone. They seem to be enjoying their freedom in the fresh air and their games. Some of the games are still played today.

The games in the painting do not require children to spend money on extra materials(材料). Instead, they use simple everyday objects like hats and sticks. A game might need a rope, some chalk, a hoop, a spinning top, or even a barrel. Some games are played without any toys at all. For example, one scene in the painting shows children turning somersaults(翻筋斗) inside the fence.

Even though Pieter Bruegel lived a long time ago, children today can learn an important lesson from what he painted. The painting shows us how little we need in order to enjoy ourselves. All children really need is one another. It’s not the toys or games that are found in the stores that create fun. Using our imagination can do this for us.

1.The painting shows about ______ games.

2.The children in the painting are playing ______.

3.From the painting we learn that ______.

Two years ago, a small town in Changhua started to grow healthy rice. The healthy rice was not grown by farmers but by the students from a small primary school of only about fifty people.
