At thirteen,I was diagnosed（诊所）with kind of attention disorder.It made schooldifficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks,I could not.
In my first literature class.Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on
it,all within 45 minutes.I raised my hand right away and said,"Mrs.Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it."
She glanced down at me through her glasses,you are no different from your classmates,young man."
I tried,but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom,the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was
about a blind person,Louis Braille.He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get
much education.But Louis didn’t give up.Instead,he invented a reading system of
raised dots,which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the"blind”in my class,being made to learn like the"sighted”students?
My
thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed,I was no different from others;Ijust needed a quieter place.IfLouis could
find his way out of his problems,why should I ever give up？
I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith,so it was quitea surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an"A”on it.At the bottom of the
paper were these words：
"See what you can do when you keep trying？

We talk about people being"color-blind”but very few of us are.Even those who describe themselves as color-blind are normally just color lack.A strongly color-blind
person will still be able to tell 20different colors,compared to the 100or so that normal-sighted people see.
Pingelap,atiny island in the Pacific,is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetictrouble.It is known as Color Blind Island because so many people who live on this
remote island can only see in black and white.
Not being able to see in color is bad enough.But one islander,Herrol,who’s a
fisherman,also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image."I find it difficult to go outside in the sun,"he says,"because when it’s sunny I cannot
see to do my work."
But if being truly color-blind is rare,why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black and white world？
Well,we know that in1780the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out bya tsunami.As few as 20people survived,one of whom was the king.It’s believedhe had a genetic fault that causes color-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.
There is one advantage.Herrol can see well,really well,in the dark.So when it gets dark,Herro1and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish.They hang up
flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames."This type of fishing is fun,"
Herrol says,"especially if we catch plenty.So even though it’s hard work we enjoy it."
29.What is Pingelap famous as？
________
A.A tiny island.
B.A color-blind island
C.A mentally troubled island.
D.A beautiful island.
30.What can we infer about Herrol？
________
A.He may stay at home when it’s sunny.
B.He is interested in burnt-out images.
C.He likes taking photos very much.
D.He doesn’t live in Pingelap any more.
31.What would be the best title for the text？
________
A.The history of Pingelap
B.The disadvantage of Herrol
C.The island of color blindness
D.The advantage of color blindness

If you put all the books you own on the street outside your house,you might expect
them to disappear immediately.But one man,Hernando Guanlao in Manila,tried it
and found that his collections grew.
He’s a lovely man in his early 60s,with one ever-lasting love-books.They’re his pride and joy,because,whether he likes it or not,they seem to be taking over his
house.Guanlao has set up a"library”outside his home in central Manila.Readers can
take asmany books as they want,for as long as they want.As Guanlao says,"The onlyrule isthat there are no rules."
You might consider it would end very quickly.But in fact,in the 12years he’s
been running his library.He’s fou
