Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)
I grew up in the 1980s and started losing my sight at eight because of Stargardt disease. My eyesight got worse every few months. School became really hard, and I often felt I was disappointing my parents.
My mother tried her best to help me. Every evening, she helped me review my schoolwork. She also met with my teachers to ask for their support because I couldn’t see well. It took a lot of her time, but she never complained.
At that time, most teachers didn’t know how to help a student with poor eyesight. All they could do was give me bigger workbooks and let me sit at the front of the class.
My social life was hard, too. I couldn’t join many games. A popular game then was called zero-point, where kids jumped over a rope that got higher each time. I usually failed because I couldn’t see the rope clearly. So, others didn’t want me on their team.
Because of this, I often felt left out. I started to wonder who I really was. I hadn’t accepted my bad eyesight, and I just wanted to fit in. I tried to dress like the “cool kids” to feel included.
When I was 12, I made a poor choice. My mother was away, and I wore her high heels to meet my classmates. We went to a beauty salon. I had my nails painted and got a face makeover. My friends said I looked great. I felt proud.
We went to a nearby restaurant for lunch, and to my surprise, my father was there too. When he saw me walking in unsteadily in high heels, he looked very shocked. He took me home, told me to wash up, and sent me to my room.
Later, my mother calmly explained that my look wasn’t right for my age. She said that both she and my father were worried I wasn’t being true to myself and suggested that I make choices that truly suited me. I was upset, but I understood and learned something important that day.
54. How old was the writer when she started losing her sight?
__________________________________________
55. What did teachers do to help the writer at school?
__________________________________________
56. What challenges did the writer have because of her poor eyesight?

58. How did the writer’s father feel when he saw her at a restaurant? (One word for each blank)
He was ________ and ________.
59. What important lesson do you think the writer learned that day?

【54题详解】
根据“I grew up in the 1980s and started losing my sight at eight”可知作者8岁开始失明。故填Eight (years old).
【55题详解】
根据“All they could do was give me bigger workbooks and let me sit at the front of the class.”可知老师给她更大的作业本并坐前排。故填They gave her bigger workbooks and let her sit at the front.

根据“School became really hard”以及“My social life was hard too”可知她因视力问题在学习和社交上均遇障碍。故填schoolwork;social life。
【57题详解】
