One of the most often asked and most controversially(有争议的) answered questions is "What should I do when I meet a blind person?" A quick Google search will turn up plenty of answers, which are quite different from each other. So, obviously, there is no general agreement on what to do when you meet a blind person.

There are no special rules or does and doesn't that can deal with this situation. There is only one principle(原则): Blind people are nothing more or less than people who happen to be blind. As such, it is our own job to take care of ourselves, and we are grateful to no one else for special care or leadership. For we think we are equal(平等的)to normal people.

The best thing to do is nothing. Don't suppose you know what we need. If we do need something, we'll politely let you know.

Forget everything you've heard about the blind even if you consider yourself to be an expert. Blind people have plenty to say about "experts". Especially, forget anything you've heard or read about "Ten Things to Do if You Meet a Blind Person". The advice will probably just cause more embarrassment(尴尬). More of it is made up by sighted people anyway and doesn't necessarily stand for the blind's view.

There is completely no way to second—guess the situation by imposing(强加)any preformed ideas. Even if you've known other blind people, don't think you know what to do with every one of them. The thing that often makes us angry is to hear "It's OK. My mother(sister, cousin, friend)is blind."

Blind people are as different from each other as any two people on this earth. There are no similarities among us that you can depend on. Even the degree of vision, hearing or touch that we use can be very different. Most blind people do have same degree of vision,and even the very few of us who are totally blind may use our touch and hearing very effectively.

1. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer________.
A.is a blind personB.hears more clearly than others
C.never asks others for helpD.thinks blind people need special care
2. According to the passage, which of the following opinions may the writer disagree with?
A.Most blind people can take care of themselves.
B.Blind people aren't equal to sighted people.
C.Blind people generally dislike those thinking they understand the blind a lot.
D.Each person, blind or sighted, is different from anyone else.
3. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.Never Help the BlindB.Try to Help the Blind
C.Not Every Help Is Good for the BlindD.Learn More about the Blind

文章大意:本文介绍了美国的一些大学生和高中生是如何当志愿者帮助他人的。

【推荐2】Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages (孤儿院) or homes for the old. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.

Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.

Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.

Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

1. Where can you often find volunteers in the United States?

文章大意:本文主要讲自行车爱好者Andrew McLindon创立了麦克林顿家族基金会,为平衡感有问题的孩子们制作适合他们骑行的特殊自行车。

【推荐3】About fifteen years ago, Andrew McLindon, a successful businessman as well as a cyclist, was riding his bike as usual in Austin, Texas, when he thought about a friend’s 12-year-old son. The boy had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from a serious disease in the brain, which often causes balance (平衡) problems.

When he got home, McLindon went online and found a three-wheel shaped bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance problems.

Soon the boy was riding around the street with his friends, having fun and getting exercise at the same time. But there was more, as McLindon read from his friend’s expression. “To see his son communicating with other kids,” McLindon says. “I’ll never forget the smile on his face.”

That smile lit the McLindon Family Foundation (基金会) called the Bike Project. With great efforts, the foundation works with some local hospitals to search for children who can get help from owning such a bike, which can meet the special needs of the child. The bike includes a part of seat that supports a person’s head, a seat belt and a braking (刹车) part in the back. The bike is expensive—$3,000 to $4,000, and that’s a present with the foundation’s huge support. It’s enough lucky for kids to get one.

“We worked with a 14-year-old girl who has spina (脊柱) disease,” says McLindon. “She spent most days on the couch watching TV. Soon after she got her bike, she was training for special-needs sports. In a magazine interview, she said, ‘I always knew there was a player in me.’ ”

So far, the foundation has given away 450 bikes, and that’s just a start. “I do a lot of things. I run a lot of companies,” McLindon says. “But getting these kids their bikes is the most important thing that I do.”

1. McLindon started the McLindon Family Foundation because ________.
A.he wanted kids to fall in love with riding
B.he was satisfied with his friend’s experience
C.the foundation could offer the local kids better life
D.the joys of the boy woke him to care about more kids
2. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5, we can infer ________.
A.she got used to the life sitting on the couch
B.the Bike Project is a life changer to a kid like her
C.she always knew it was not easy to live with dreams
D.the Bike Project has raised money to help treat her disease
3. Which of the following can best describe McLindon?
A.Warm-hearted.B.Wide-minded.C.Strong-willed.D.Well-educated.
4. What is the best title for this passage?
A.A Beautiful Smile of a FatherB.A Terrible Disease in Brain
C.The Success of a BusinessmanD.The Special Bike to the Kids
