According to the National Federation of the Blind, fewer than 10 percent of the 1.3 million people who are legally blind in the U. S. are braille readers. But one woman has made a difference in their lives and my son's life, too.

35 years ago, my son, Jared, was born blind. Fortunately, I learned about a life-changing organization when Jared's teacher introduced us to Seedlings Braille Books for Children. It was founded by Debra Bonde, who helped blind children all over the world.

A shy woman, Debra just wanted to find a volunteer job she could do without having to talk to anyone. So, she signed up for a braille transcription(转录)class in the hope of translating books into braille in the basement of her Detroit home.

Debra began transcribing popular children's books, printing them on a braille printer and selling them for just the cost of the paper.

Word spread among parents and teachers of blind children, and demand grew for more of her books. Friends helped her to form a nonprofit organization so she could start getting grants(拨款)and donations to help with production costs. She named it Seedlings Braille Books for Children because she believes that if you give a child a book, the love for reading will grow. Seedlings has produced 600, 000 books across the world so far. They give half of their books away for free. The other half are sold for an average price of only $10 each, about half the cost of producing them.

As a mother, I appreciated that Seedlings provided "typical" experiences for Jared in school. Since books from Seedlings were affordable, it was possible to have a home library. Without the childhood skills Seedlings provided to Jared, he would not have a job as a software engineer now.

24. How did the author get to know Seedlings Braille Books for Children?

A. From Jared's teacher.      B. From the library.

C. From her friend.          D. From other parents.

25. Why did Debra sign up for a braille transcription class?

A. To make a living.              B. To read more braille books.

C. To do volunteer work alone.      D. To start a nonprofit organization.

26. Which of the following can best describe Debra Bonde?

A. Talented and social.      B. Shy and generous.

C. Helpful and brave.       D. Mild and neat.

27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The author lived an easy and rich life.

B. Jared got along well with all his classmates.

C. The author attached importance to her son's reading.

D. Jared will spread the skills he learned during his childhood.

A journey 333 feet below the Earth's surface, within caves millions of years old, leads to one of the most popular music Places in the United States. Cumberland Caverns Live in McMinnville, Tennessee, has hosted a large number of musicians from across the world for 55 years. Artists perform in the world famous Volcano Room, which is gaining prevalence due to its beautiful setting and perfect way of carrying sound.

Long hallways lead 600 guests to the open amphitheater(圆形剧场), formed with large stone walls that reflect sound waves in just the right way to produce near perfect surround sound.

"I think it's one of the most fascinating, beautiful places for a concert," said Cumberland Caverns general manager Travis Young. "Every artist who plays Cumberland Caverns Live feels surprised. The cave is unique, the acoustics(音响效果)are perfect, and the lighting is truly amazing."

The special surfaces transmit the sound perfectly. Though the huge amount of water in the air makes tuning(调音)slightly harder, guests and artists love the cool temperature that exists year round.

Thousands of guests visit the caves each year to see the historic mines, underground waterfalls and many pools along the rocky underground routes.

The Volcano Room used to exist as a local place for church groups to meet. Starting in 2008, a monthly music event called Bluegrass Underground brought consistent tunes to the caves and aired on PBS. Now, concepts are held year-round, featuring all types of music.

28. Which can replace the underlined word "prevalence" in paragraph 1?

A. Popularity.      B. Value.      C. Benefit.      D. Success.

29. How do the artists playing Cumberland Caverns Live feel?

A. Amazed.      B. Relaxed.      C. Uncomfortable.      D. Disappointed.

30. What makes tuning harder?

A. Crowds of audience.        B. The cool temperature.

C. The wet state of the air.      D. The special surfaces of the cave.

31. What was the Volcano Room used to do?

A. Hold a monthly music event.            B. Serve as a reception room for visitors.

C. Hold a meeting for church groups.        D. Exhibit historic items millions of years old.

When you walk down a hall in my school, you may meet our therapy(治疗)dog, Boomer. There were originally reservations(限制) in our district about having a therapy dog, but now Boomer is one of the most popular staff members for his ability to manage the pressure of students and improve their social and emotional learning(SEL).

When the district first considered getting us a therapy dog, we were encouraged to raise questions and concerns. And before Boomer came, we did a pilot test with a therapy dog, Violet, and found her presence in the school to be extremely beneficial to our students. For example, Violet would come into the English language arts class while students were reading, and teachers noted that students were more relaxed when she was present and that they took more risks in their reading.

Boomer joined us at the beginning of the school year, after all vaccines(疫苗)had been given. He goes to one 20-minute Morning Meeting a day walking through the classrooms, and visits classes at other times if teachers request him. Students can also come to Boomer.

Boomer creates an atmosphere of joy just by being present. He's excited to greet everyone and is a great listener. His presence aids students in struggling with friendship and home issues, school anxiety, and other problems. Students clearly relax and open up while petting or playing with Boomer.

The handlers(驯兽员)have taken great measures to educate the students and staff on how to approach and interact with Boomer. They're taught about dogs' body language and how to tell if Boomer is stressed, happy, tired, or hungry. These lessons tie back to social and emotional skills we foster in our students. They respect Boomer and care about him.

32. Why was Boomer introduced to the school?

A. To reduce the students' stress.      B. To entertain the students.

C. To guide the campus.            D. To improve the students' health.

33. What can we know about the research on the therapy dog, Violet?

A. It causes questions and concerns.           B. It supports the benefits of therapy dogs.

C. It proves Violet is smarter than Boomer.      D. It is against the rule of the district.

34. What is the author's attitude to animal-assisted therapy?

A. Objective.      B. Doubtful.      C. Positive.      D. Dissatisfied.

35. What's the best title of the text?

A. How to Conduct a Research            B. Keeping Dogs Has Great Benefits

C. Bringing a Therapy Dog to School       D. A Strange Stress Management Method
