In 1882, a baby girl caught such a serious fever that she nearly died. The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving（剥夺）her of sight and sound. That poor girl was Helen Keller.
Luckily Helen was not a girl who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She touched and smelled everything she came across. She also learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes.
Just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor-Anne Sullivan. With the help of Anne, Helen soon learnt to read and write in Braille（盲文）. She also learnt to read people’s lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations（振动）. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for people who could not hear at all.
Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honors from Radcliff College in 1904. While she was still at college, she wrote The Story of My Life.
She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Finally she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honors from foreign universities. In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.

Online classes at home
Sun Jiayi, a student from Shanghai, has to take online classes at home. Her school is closed due to the novel coronavirus（新冠病毒）. “Studying at home is not easy as there are some distraction（使人分心的事物）such as snack foods and the mobile phone. I usually put them away when I am having lessons,” she said.
Shanghai has chosen over 1000 teachers to pre-record online lessons. Wu Wentao is one of them. He is an English teacher. “We teachers are quite used to the physical environment of classrooms, but now we have to adapt to（适应）online teaching. In this situation, I can’t see how students react to my lessons. It seems like I am just talking to a camera, ” he said.
Besides, online teaching possibly needs more preparation time. Zhang Ju, a music teacher, said, “I need to prepare pictures, sounds and videos in advance to present my lessons. Teachers need more time to search and handle multimedia（多媒体）resources.”
Each of these online classes usually lasts for about 20 to 30 minutes. Students have five or six classes a day in order to limit（限制）screen time to about two hours a day.
While taking online classes might be easy for students from cities, it might not be easy for those from less-developed areas. Not all families in the rural areas can afford a computer and Internet connection needed for online lessons every day.
After such a long holiday,most students and teachers can’t wait to return to their classrooms. We just hope that the fight against the novel coronavirus ends soon and that life can go back to normal.
1. Why does Sun Jiayi have to take online classes at home?2. What does Wu Wentao feel like when he is teaching online?
3. What kind of teaching needs more preparation time, traditional teaching or online teaching?
4. Please show the reason that taking online classes might be difficult for those from less-developed areas.

Although this is not true，some people still choose to avoid cutting their hair during this time.They wait until Dragon Head-Raising Day（龙抬头），the second day of the secondlunar month，to line up outside barber shops（理发店）.
（A）Nobody knows why haircuts have anything to do with one's uncles.One popular theory（理论）says the tradition mighthave started during the early years of the Qing Dynasty（清朝）.At thetime，as new rulers，the Manchu people forced the Han people to cut their hair in the Manchu style.Many Han people refused to do it.They decided not to cut their hair during the first lunar month，saying it was to“commemorate the former dynasty"，or in Chinese，“思旧”.Since“思旧”soundsvery similar to“dead uncle”，there may have been a misunderstanding and thus the“no haircut”tradition.
Ancient（古代的）Chinese people thought that the human body，including one's skin andhair，was something that was naturally given by one's parents and should not be altered（改变）.Therefore，they cherished their hair very much and considered cutting hair to be a greatinsult（侮辱）to one's parents.
But this doesn't mean they never took care of their hair.They would wash，comb and trim（修整）their hair and beards regularly.

Jiaozi, also known as Chinese dumplings, is a must-have during holidays in Northern China. It dates back to ancient times.
Jiaozi is one of the most important foods in Chinese New Year. Since jiaozi is in the shape of ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots（银锭）, it symbolizes wealth（象征着财富）. Traditionally, the members of a family get together to make dumplings on New Year's Eve. They may hide a coin in one of the dumplings. The person who finds the coin will be likely to have good luck. As the Spring Festival marks the start of a new year, people choose to eat jiaozi in the hope of having a good future in the coming new year.
Based on your taste, you can make different kinds of Chinese dumplings using different fillings. There is no set rule as to what makes dumpling fillings. They can be anything from vegetables, meat or seafood. Whatever the fillings are, the wrapping（包）skill needs to be exquisite（精美的） to make jiaozi good-looking.
As China is a country with a vast territory（幅员辽阔）, there are differences in different areas in ways of making jiaozi or even serving it. For example, dumpling wrappers are made with a rolling stick in Beijing and Hebei province, while in some parts of Inner Mongolia, wrappers are hand-pressed.
