As a kid, Laurie Lower loved to read. She still does. Sometimes, she thinks about what it would be like to want to read a book but not be able to. “I would be heartbroken,” she says. Laurie is a braille transcriber (盲文眷写员). She makes books that can be read by blind people.
Most kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books they’re able to read. But it’s not that simple for kids who are blind. They read in a different way. Laurie and other braille transcribers take the printed words of a story or textbook and change them into a code (代码) of raised dots (凸点). People who are unable to see can read these dots with their fingers.
The Braille Alphabet
When Laurie first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class for about six months. First, she learned to form letters in braille. Then she began forming words. “Practice, practice, and more practice were the keys to learning,” Laurie says. All of her practice paid off. Laurie passed the class after completing her final exam: she had to transcribe 35 pages of a book into braille.
Today, Lauric works for National Braille Press (NBP, 国家盲人出版社). One of her jobs is to transcribe children’s books into braille. To do this, Laurie first types the story into a computer. Then she uses a computer program to translate those words into the braille code. She needs to look over the translation three to five times to make sure there’s no mistake. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed by a special printer. Then the copy is given to Laurie and other proofreaders (校对员) to check again. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed on a large printing machine. Then those books become available to the public. People can either buy the books through the NBP website or borrow them from the National Library Service. More than 12, 000 of the borrowers are children. “I love this job!” Laurie says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”

Basket full of dreams
A set of photos of a boy carrying his tennis rackets in a bamboo basket has been widely spread on the Internet. The boy, Wang Fa, 14, is a member of the Va ethnic group (佤族) in Yunnan. After winning the under-14 title at the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour in Guangzhou, an audience member from Yunnan gave him the bamboo basket as a gift and the photos were taken.
“We always carry bamboo baskets when we work in the field. This is a typical farming tool of the Va ethnic group. I carried my rackets in this basket to honour (表达敬意) my hometown,” Wang said after the match.
Before tennis, Wang was only an ordinary boy from a village. But in 2016, he was chosen by a local club as one of the first 10 local children to learn to play professional tennis. “I was nervous at the beginning because the outside world was so different from my home,” he said, adding that tennis has helped him make more friends and get a better education.
Over the past six years, Wang, along with other players at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club, has trained hard to improve his skills and physical strength. Every day, they must swing a racket more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers.
“If I weren’t chosen as a tennis player, I would still be helping out my family with farmwork back home,” Wang said. Wang’s parents didn’t want him to learn tennis at first because they couldn’t afford it. But the tennis club offered to teach him for free. Wang’s hometown, the mountainous Cangyuan Va autonomous county (沧源佤族自治县), was lifted out of poverty (贫穷) in 2019, reported China Daily.
For Wang, winning the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour title was the beginning of a hopeful future. “I will aim for the top spots on the professional stage,” he said.

（23-24九年级上·上海青浦·期末）My friend Maya and I always make New Year’ s resolutions (新年计划). but we can never keep them. So, last year, we decided to be “resolution partners” and write our resolutions together. We made a list of things each of us would do every single day:
New Year’s Resolutions 1 Bake something delicious. 2 . Eat super and healthy lunch. 3. Do 80 sit-ups and 50 push-ups 4. Do something big to help the planet. Maya& Jill
The next morning, I went to the kitchen at 5:45 to bake cookies. When l arrived at school, I took a bite of the cupcakes Maya made in the morning and it was delicious!
We had a difficult math test that morning, which made us extra hungry for lunch. But I had an egg, potato, orange and onion sandwich for lunch. Maya had a fish, broccoli, tomato and banana wrap (卷饼).
“Do these things really taste good ” Mike, one of our friends, asked.
Maya took the list out of the pocket and explained, “Resolution number 2 says our lunch has to be healthy, not necessarily delicious. If we’ re going to finish number 3 before the bell rings, we’ d better hurry. Luckily, we did manage to do it. Unluckily, all that exercise right after the lunch made our stomachs hurt!”
We both attended the basketball club that afternoon, plus lots of homework, so we didn’ t have time to do something big to help the planet.
“Well,” said Maya, “I guess if we’re going to have time for everything on our list, we’ re going to have to wake up even earlier. I couldn’t let my resolution partner down, so we agreed to set our alarms half an hour earlier. Even with the extra time, though, it was hard to fit everything in. Besides, we were too tired to do things well. When we had to present our book reports, we yawned (打哈欠) the whole way through.”
By Friday, we were too tired. That afternoon. Maya and I made up a whole NEW New Year’ s resolution list.
New Year’s Resolutions 1. Try to eat healthy 2. Try not to waste water, electricity, paper or plastic. 3. Try to be kind. (most important of all) Maya &Jill
Of course, we still like to bake treats (甜食) and do exercise, but not every day.

However, you asked us to close our eyes because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.

But it was the greatest shame of my life. You never said anything. You never shouted at me or took me aside to give me a lesson. I received your message clearly.
“Do you remember this story, Mr. Wilson ” The old man answered, “Yes. I remember the situation with the missing watch. I was looking for it in everyone’s pocket.

About 30, 000 people are running today in the world’s oldest annual marathon. Four figures have found their own special kinds of victory along those 42.2 kilometers in Boston.
“Dad, when we’re running, my disability seems to disappear. ” Rick Hoyt was born unable to use his voice, arms or legs. Doctors advised his parents to send him away, but they chose to raise Rick themselves. One day Rick said he wanted to run in a race to raise money to help support a wounded schoolmate. So his father, Dick Hoyt, started pushing Rick in a specially-built wheelchair in races. Together they completed 32 Boston Marathons. A statue of “Team Hoyt” now stands near the marathon’s starting line. In 2021, Dick Hoyt died. Speaking through his computer, Rick said, “He was my motor; I was his heart ”
“Women aren’t allowed and …are not physiologically able. ” Bobbi Gibb loved running in 1966 when she applied for the Boston Marathon. But the response was a refusal letter that said women weren’t able to run marathons! At first, Bobbi had wanted to run for fun. But in the face of such sexist ignorance, she had something to prove. Determined to run the race, Bobbi hid in some bushes, wearing her brother’s shorts and a hoodie. After the marathon began, she sneaked (潜行) onto the course and finished faster than two-thirds of the men.
“I’m going to finish this race—on my hands and knees, if I have to. ” One year later, Kathrine Switzer entered for the race with her initials (姓名的首字母) to hide her gender (性别). During the marathon, an angry official stopped her and tried to tear (撕下) her racing numbers off her front and back! Kathrine was frightened but made up her mind to continue her race. When some reporters laughed at her and said she was never going to run again, she said she was going to run for the rest of her life! Switzer did finish the race becoming the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon. Five years later, the Boston Marathon finally allowed women. Today 45 percent of the runners are women.

During their short ride to their new home, Kassie noticed how whites and blacks kept their distance. Even on the bus, they were forced to sit at the back; meanwhile, the whites took the front seats. Kassie couldn’t stop thinking of this strange behavior.
She hoped it would be slightly different at school.
Two days later, Kassie got her answer. She entered her classroom and was surprised to find so many white children already seated. She looked for a black child, but saw none, so she decided to find a seat.
“What are you doing ” a red-haired girl asked. Kassie looked at her puzzled, not sure how to reply. “Blacks sit on the back of the room,” the girl said, pointing a finger towards the broken desks at the back of the classroom. Kassie looked at the collection of desks and frowned. Most were broken, and their surfaces were covered with dust and pencil drawings. Kassie hoped that there would be other black children in the class, but as the bell rang, no other children showed up. When the teacher introduced Kassie to the class, everyone looked at her as if she was an alien.
The rest of the week wasn’t any better. Kassie considered asking her parents more than once to let her move back home with her grandparents. But again, the idea of being respectful and grateful kept her quiet.

（23-24九年级上·上海奉贤·期中）When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter（炼铜厂）. It made chemicals come out and made a beautiful forest become a wasteland. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down angrily. From then on, something happened inside him.
Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No”.
Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said since there weren’t any birds or squirrels（松鼠） to spread the seeds, it would be a waste of his life to try to do it. He was told everyone knew that even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn't get his idea accepted.
Paul later got married and had some kids. But his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. To bring trees back to the wasteland, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting under the cover of darkness. And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass.
Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing. Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has.

Once upon a time, a man was lucky to have a loving son. But the young man never had to deal with any problems.
“My boy should have some experience of dealing with ill luck,” thought the father, so he sent the son into the forest to bring back some wood. Only an old cart (马车) with two oxen (公牛) was free for the work.
“If your cart breaks up in the forest, ‘Necessity’ will teach you what to do,” the man said. The son thought that “Necessity” must be a kind man who lived in the forest and helped people in trouble.
The son drove far into the forest and found lots of good trees. He cut down the trees and put the wood onto the cart. When the cart was full, he set off for home. However, as he drove over the rough ground, one of the axles (车轴) broke.
