Backlight 226 is a rare bookstore in Shanghai, as it offers books by visually impaired （损伤） people to those with visual impairments.     1     (locate) in the city’s leafy Nanchang Street, the store has been a fixture in the area since 2022, providing much-needed reading materials to the blind community.

“People may only know about the famous Helen Keller, but there are famous blind Chinese     2     (writer) as well,” said Han Ying, the manager of Backlight 226, referring to the American author and activist     3     lost her sight and hearing at an early age.

Han partially lost her vision after an accident aged 21 and     4     (become) completely blind five years later. She said she had to give up     5     (teach) calligraphy, and the way she read was also affected.

Now, aged 43, she relies     6     special apps designed for the visually impaired and spends most of her time at the bookstore. There, she promotes reading among visually impaired people and the bookstore     7     (equip) with facilities that allow the visually impaired     8     (read) more comfortably.

“Backlight 226 is a start,” Han said. “There will     9     (definite) be more like it across the country so that we can make the public know more about the special groups     10     their world.”

It was a nice Monday morning and I was waiting for the bus at the station. “Here     1     (come) the bus,” a boy nearby cried out. But it was not the bus I was waiting for. Hardly had the bus stopped when crowds of people gathered in front     2     the door, waiting     3     (anxious) to get on the bus. Out rushed a young man with a cell-phone in his hand as soon as the door     4     (open). Chasing him was a tall and strong man. He was a policeman! The young man was     5     (catch) stealing a cell-phone.

Caught, the young man had something to say for himself. He said his father was ill in bed and couldn’t take care of     6     (he). Neither could his mother, because she had been blind ever since she     7     (be) born. Two younger brothers and a younger sister were waiting for money to go     8     school. Try as he might, the young man said, he couldn’t find a job. He said only in this way     9     (can) he provide for his big family and that should he have another chance, he     10     (will) not do this again.

I can remember some things about my childhood. Some are unhappy. I remember my first visit    1    the zoo. I saw a lion and    2    eagle. The lion was very lazy, and he    3    (sleep) all the time. He was very    4    (bore) to me. The eagles suddenly flew in the air and frightened me. I started to cry!

Of course some memories are happy. I remember the day when my father tried to teach me how    5    (ride) a bicycle. I wasn't very good at it. I said, “I don't want to do this!" But my father was very    6    (patience) and very soon he taught me how to do it. Now I ride my bicycle every day and I'm much    7    (fast) than my father! And I also remember my first day at kindergarten very    8    (clear). There were so many children! I only knew one of them, a boy    9    (live) in the apartment next door. I was very nervous. However,    10    we started playing with some toys, I soon stopped feeling nervous.
