2 . It’s three o’clock in the afternoon. The golden sunshine comes through the southern window of the main reading room of the Braille (盲文) Library of China (BLC), yet not a single reader can be seen.
This doesn’t mean the librarian is doing nothing. ________ She keeps an eye on We Chat while checking QQ for new messages, as well as being ready to answer the phone that might ring at any time. All calls and messages come from visually impaired (有视觉障碍的) people or their families.
Since it was set up in 1994, the BLC has been providing free mailing service for the visually impaired. They can just send messages or make phone calls to request the books they need and then wait at home for them to arrive. After finishing the books, they only need to stick a prepared address card to the mail bag that comes with the books and put it in the mailbox.
The service has helped many visually impaired people who want to learn at home. Cheng Donghao, a 22-year-old blind man, is one of the over 20, 000 people who directly benefit (获益) from it. Having been a member of the BLC for about 10 years, Cheng has borrowed Braille books since primary school. “Now, I am preparing for the 2022 college entrance exam and I want to learn traditional Chinese medicine in university,” he says.
“The best way of improving the lives of the visually impaired is to help them gain (获得) knowledge,” says Zhu Bing, head of the BLC.

Sam loved football. Ever since he could remember, his family had been spending Saturday mornings watching football games. Finally he was old enough to join the beginner team. He was feeling nervous. Sure, he had watched a lot of football games, but that didn’t mean he was good at kicking the ball.
Now the morning of Sam’s first game was here. Everyone was running towards the ball. Sam was running too, but it was hard to keep up with the other players.
The ball kept rolling back and forth. Just after a few minutes, Sam was tired. A real game felt so much longer than practice.
Sam was about to stop and take a short rest. Suddenly, the ball stopped right in front of him. Sam knew what he had to do. He gave the ball short kicks all the way down the field. Then he gave the ball a hard kick. The ball flew into the net (球门网) for a goal. Sam scored his first point!
Sam saw some kids jumping up and down in excitement. But they were wearing red T-shirts, not blue ones like Sam’s. Sam looked at the goalkeeper (守门员). It was his teammate Brian.
Sam felt his face turn very hot and red. He had kicked the ball into the wrong net! Now the other team was winning the game. It was 1-0.
Brian threw the ball back out onto the field and the players all ran after it. Sam didn’t move. He would never want to play football again. What an embarrassment!
Brian ran over to Sam. “Great kick!” he said.
Sam looked at his face in surprise. Brian smiled. “Now run down there and kick another one just like it so we can tie!”
Sam felt better. “Go!” Brian called. And Sam ran towards the ball.
