15、能教人享受声音的美妙。我时常测试我那些看得见的朋友,想了解他们看到了什么。最近,我问一个在林子里散步了许久的朋友看到了什么,她答道:“没什么特别的。”我自问,在林子里散步一小时之久,怎么可能没看到任何值得注意的东西呢?我一个看不见的人,仅仅通过触觉,都会发现许许多多令我感兴趣的东西。如果说仅凭触觉就能得到这么多的快乐,那么视觉能展现多少美好的东西啊。我想象过,如果我能被恩赐恢复视觉,哪怕只有三天,我最希望看到什么。第一天,我想见见那些用善良、温柔和陪伴使我的生命变得有价值的人。我无法理解通过“心灵的窗户”眼睛,看透一个朋友的内心是怎样的感觉。因为我只能通过我的指尖“看”到一张面孔的轮廓。我还要

17、使用你的眼睛。而这种方法也可以用在其他感官上:要像明天即将失聪一样,去仔细聆听音乐的旋律、鸟儿的歌唱、交响乐的震撼音符;要像明天即将失去触觉一样,去触摸你想感受的每一件物品;要像明天即将失去嗅觉和味觉一样,去细嗅花香、细品美食。但是,我敢肯定,在所有的感官中,视觉的享受一定是最令人愉悦的。(节选自海伦凯勒的假如给我三天光明)Step One:Prereading Look at the two pictures on Page 20 in the textbook and answer the following question.What is the percentage of adult
