Many years ago, while three-year-old Louis Braille was playing with an awl in his father’s
workshop in France, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes. He immediately lost sight in that eye.
Soon, germs got into his wounded eye and spread to his other eye. In a couple of years, Louis went
completely blind.
When he was ten, he attended a school for blind boys in Paris. One day, a soldier came to
visit. The soldier knew a special code that was used in war. It was called “night writing”, which
had twelve raised dots. Using these special dots, soldiers could pass secret coded messages without
speaking. They ran their fingers over the dots and found out the meaning of the words even in total
darkness.
Young Louis realized that this could be a way for blind kids to read. Later, he reduced the
number of dots from twelve to six and made many other improvements. Still, his special code was
not accepted by others. But Louis didn’t give up and he worked on it all his life.
After his death, his dot reading code caught on. It was soon being used everywhere to teach
blind children to read. They could now use their hands to feel the dots, which gave them a new
freedom to read. Today, this reading code is named after young Louis. It’s known as Braille.

A. was not only blind but also deaf B. went blind in one eye at first

Once upon a time, there lived a king who was unhappy.
One day, he saw a servant who was singing happily while working and asked him in surprise,
“Why are you so happy?” The man replied, “Your Majesty, my family and I don’t need too much,
just a house and some food.” The king was not satisfied with that reply. When he talked to his
advisor, the advisor said, “I believe the servant hasn’t joined The 99 Club.”
“What exactly is that?” the king asked. The advisor replied, “To know what it is, put 99 gold
coins in a bag and leave it at the servant’s doorstep.” So the king asked a soldier to do it. When the
servant saw the bag, he opened it and shouted happily, “So many gold coins!” He began to count
them and after several counts, he was sure there were 99 coins. He wondered, “What could have
happened to that last gold coin?”
He looked everywhere but couldn’t find it. Finally, he decided to work harder to make that
100th gold coin. From then on, his life was changed. He stopped singing and began to castigate his
family for not helping him. Seeing this, the king didn’t understand. The advisor explained, “The
servant has now joined The 99 Club, which is full of silly people who have enough to be happy but
are never satisfied because they’re always wanting that extra (额外的) 1.”
Hearing this, the king decided to get out of The 99 Club. Guess what! He succeeded.

Sunday is the final day of freedom. And it is the last chance to catch your breath before
another busy week begins. Growing up in Singapore and spending a number of years in Britain,
I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Sundays in both countries. How different they are!
“Sun”-day: Friend or enemy?
One can easily tell Sundays in Singapore from those in Britain by looking at the relationships
each country has with the sun.
Singapore is a tropical island with rainy and dry seasons. When it rains, it’s hot. When it
shines, it burns. This is why Singaporeans prefer to spend their time indoors. These days, indoor
activities like trampolining (蹦床) are getting popular among young people. They don’t hate the
sun, but they don’t like it very much either.
In Britain, however, sunny days are few and people try to make use of them as much as they
can. While I was making my way to the library one Sunday, I met a group of college students
outside, being bathed in the sun as they wore their beach clothes. I wish I could have joined them.
Sunday roast
This is one of the most British things about Britain. It happens every weekend, usually in the
late afternoon. It is a meal with roasted meat, roasted potatoes and roasted or boiled vegetables.
Of course, we eat lunch and dinner in Singapore on Sundays. But the “British Sunday roast”
isn’t just about the food. It’s also a time to get together with family and friends.
One way or another, whether you prefer trampolining or sunbathing, Sundays in either
country do have their own special charm.
27. The first paragraph tells us Sunday means ____________.
A. keeping ourselves busy B. holding our breath
C. starting a nice week D. becoming busy soon
28. Singaporeans prefer to stay indoors because ____________.
A. it is always rainy outside B. it is always hot outside
C. the sun might burn them D. they hate the sun
29. According to the passage, what do British people often do on sunny days?
A. They do indoor activities like trampolining.
B. They often go to the library and enjoy reading there.
C. They try to make use of sunny days and have fun.
D. They just go out and eat lunch or dinner alone.
30. The passage mainly tells us that ____________.
第 6 页（共 8 页）
A. Sundays in Britain and Singapore are not important
B. British people like sunny days better than Singaporeans
C. sunbathing is getting popular in Singapore these days
D. people spend Sundays differently in Britain and Singapore
