Most kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read.But it's not that simple for kids who are blind.They read in a different way.Jenny Lee and other braille(盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots.Blind people can read these dots with their fingers.To know what braille feels like,take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper.Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.
When Lee 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 and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam:she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille.Today,Lee works for a publisher.One of her jobs is to change children's books into braille.
To do this,Lee first types a story into a computer and then uses a computer programme to translate it into the braille code.Next,she looks over the translation several times to make sure it's mistakefree.After that,a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer.Then Lee and a proof reader work together to find and correct any mistakes.When a book is ready,many copies of it are printed.Afterwards,some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.
Sometimes,going over a story again and again gets tiring.That's when Lee takes a break.Several of Jenny Lee's coworkers,who are blind,use guide dogs.When the animals aren't working,Lee likes spending a few minutes with them.To her,playing with dogs is always a “pickmeup” in the middle of the day.
“I love this mission,”Lee says.“Through my brain power and my fingers,I am putting the dots into some kids' hands.”
4.How does the writer explain what braille feels like?
A.By explaining what braille words look like.
B.By describing how blind people read books.
C.By asking readers to experience it themselves.
D.By giving examples of different braille words.

A.She was excited to get a new skill.
B.She was amazed at the clever idea.
C.She realised she could teach it herself.
D.She believed it would be difficult to learn.
6.What does the underlined word “pickmeup”in Paragraph 4 most probably refer to?
A.A discussion about releasing work stress.
B.Something to improve one's appetite.
C.Something to help restore one's energy.
D.A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.
7.What does Lee think of her job?
A.Profitable and hopeful.
B.Tiring but meaningful.
C.Relaxing and helpful.
D.Boring but challenging.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jenny Lee和其他盲文转录员使用电脑程序将故事的文字转换为盲文的经历。
4.C [解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“To know what braille feels like ...made by the pen point.”可知,作者通过让读者亲身感受的方式来解释盲文摸起来像什么。故选C。
5.D [解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet,she wondered if she'd ever be able to read and write them easily.”可推知,Lee对盲文的第一反应是觉得很难学会盲文。故选D。
6.C [解析]词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“Sometimes,going over a story again and again gets tiring.That's when Lee takes a break.”以及“When the animals aren't working,Lee likes spending a few minutes with them.”可推知,对Lee来说,和狗一起玩是中午时段令人放松的时刻。由此可知,画线词指的是“可以帮助恢复精力的东西”。故选C。
7.B [解析]推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Sometimes,going over a story again and again gets tiring.”以及最后一段中的“Through my brain power and my fingers,I am putting the dots into some kids' hands.”可推知,Lee认为自己的工作虽然累人,但是很有意义。故选B。
