The desire to read easily led to the Braille system. January 4 is Braille Day. That day honors the blind. Butwe should also remember Louis and what he achieved by age 15.2 Louis Braille was born on January 4, 1809, in France. He lived with his parents, two older sisters, and one older brother in a small, stone house in Coupvray.3 Three-year-old Louis went to his father’s workshop. Louis’s father was a saddle maker who made items out of leather. Imitating his father, Louis tried to cut a piece of leather with a small knife. His hand slipped, and the point of the knife went into his eye. The doctors took care of him the best they could, but the injured eye got infected. Then the infection spread to his good eye. Louis became blind.4 Louis went to a public school and learned by listening to the teacher. To do his homework, his sister and a friend read the assignments to him. Soon Louis was at the top of his class.5 One day, the pastor of Louis’s church came to Louis’s house and told his parents of a school for the blind in Paris. Louis’s parents decided to send him to the school when he was nine years old.6 Louis wanted very much to read. The school had only 14 books for blind people; the books were big and heavy. The letters were large and raised; one book took a long time to read. Louis thought there must be a better way to read.7 When Louis was 12, Charles Barbier, a French Army officer, came to the school. Barbier developed an alphabet code used by army soldiers. The code was used to deliver messages to the soldiers at night. It was made up of dots and dashes. It kept the messages secret even if the enemy would see them, but the code was too complicated for the blind. Louis thought the code was slow and the dashes took up too much space. Only one or two sentences fit on a page.8 Over the next three years, Louis worked to simplify the code. On a vacation at home, Louis, age 15, picked up a blunt awl. Aha An idea came to him. He made the alphabet using only six dots. Different dots were raised for different letters. Later, he madea system for numbers and music.9 Today, Braille is in nearly every language around the world. Louis Braille, at age 15, changed the lives of blind people when he created the six-dot Braille system. It is fitting that January 4, Louis’s birthday, is considered Braille Day, in honor of the blind.他帮助了盲人眼睛瞎了而又想读书——这就是路易·布莱叶(de)生活现实.想顺利进行阅读(de)愿望导致了布莱叶盲字体系(de)产生.1月4日是布拉耶日.这一节日是向盲人表示敬意.我们还应该记住路易和他在15岁时取得(de)成就.路易·布莱叶于1809年1月4日生于法国.他与父母、两个姐姐和一个哥哥住在库普弗雷一幢小小(de)石头房子里.3岁(de)路易去了父亲(de)作坊.路易(de)父亲是个鞍具制作商,他用皮革制作各种鞍具.路易学着父亲(de)样子,试着用小刀割一块皮革.他(de)手一滑,刀尖就戳进了眼睛.医生们竭尽全力为他医治,但那只受伤(de)眼睛受到了感染.后来感染传给了他那只好(de)眼睛.路易变成了盲人.路易进了一所公立学校,通过听老师讲课进行学习.为了做作业,他(de)姐姐和一个朋友把作业读给他听.很快路易便成了班里(de)尖子生.一天,教会(de)牧师来到路易家,告诉他(de)父母, 巴黎有一所盲童学校.路易(de)父母决定把他送到那所学校去,当时他是9岁.路易12岁时,一位法国军官查尔斯·巴比埃来到了学校.巴比埃研制出一种供军队士兵使用(de)字母电码.这种电码被用来在夜间向士兵发送信息.它由点和划组成.即使敌人看到信息,电码也能使它们保密.但这种电码对盲人来说太复杂了.路易认为这种电码使用起来太慢,而那些划也太占地方.一页纸只容得下一两句句子.在以后(de)三年中,路易一直在做着简化电码(de)工作.在家中度假(de)一天,15岁(de)路易捡起了一把钝锥子.啊哈他突然想到了一个主意.他只用6个点就做出了字母表.他用不同(de)凸点代表不同(de)字母.后来,他又为数字和音乐编制了一个体系.今天,布莱叶盲字已用于全世界几乎每一种语言.路易·布莱叶在15岁时创造了六圆点布莱叶体系从而改变了盲人(de)生活.把布莱叶(de)生日1月4日定为向盲人表示敬意(de)布莱叶日是非常恰当(de).Unit 3 Text A Thanks, Mom, for All You Have Done1 We tend to get caught up in everyday business and concerns and forget some of the things that are most important. Too few of us stop and take the time to say “thank you” to our mothers.2 With a letter to my mother on the occasion of Mother’s Day, I’m going to take a minute to reflect. Feel free to use any of this in greeting your own mother on Sunday, May 10. Happy Mother’s Day to all.Dear Mom,3 This letter, I know, is long past due. I kn ow you’ll forgive the tardiness, you always do.4 There are so many reasons to say thank you, it’s hard to begin. I’ll always remember you were there when you were needed.5 When I was a child, as happens with young boys, there were cuts and bumps and scrapes that always felt better when tended by you.6 You kept me on the straight path, one I think I still walk.7 There was nothing quite so humbling as standing outside my elementary school classroom and seeing you come walking down the hall. You were working at the school and I often managed to get sentoutside class for something. Your chiding was gentle, but right tothe point.8 I also remember that even after I grew bigger than you,you weren’t afraid to remind me who was in charge.For that I thankyou.9 You did all the things that mothers do — the laundry, thecooking and cleaning —all without complaint or objection.But you were never too busy to help with a problem, or just givea hand.10 You let me learn the basics in the kitchen, and duringthe time I was on my own it kept me from going hungry.11 You taught by example and for that I am grateful. Ican see how much easier it is with my own daughter to be the bestmodel I can be. You did that for me.12 Your children are grown now, your grandchildren,almost. You can look back with pride now and know you can rest. Asmothers are judged, you stand with the best.13 God bless you, Mom.谢谢你,妈妈,为了你所做(de)一切我们往往被日常事务缠住而忘记一些最为重要(de)事情.我们极少有人停下来花时间对我们(de)母亲说一声“谢谢你” .我准备在母亲节之际花一点时间给母亲写封信反省一下.在5月10日星期天问候你(de)母亲时请随意用这封信中任何句子.祝大家母亲节快乐.亲爱(de)妈妈：我知道,这封信早就该写了.我知道你会原谅我(de)拖沓,你总是这样(de).有很多很多理由要说谢谢你,真不知从何说起.我会永远记住,每当需要你时,你总是在那儿.我小(de)时候,如同所有(de)小男孩一样,身上总有些割破(de)伤口、碰撞造成(de)肿块和擦伤,但有你照料总感到好一些.你使我一直走在正路上,我认为这仍是我在走(de)路.最为丢脸(de)事莫过于站在我小学(de)课堂外看到你沿着走廊走过来.你在学校里工作,而我竟然常常因为犯事被赶出教室.你(de)责备很和婉,但却非常中肯.我还记得,即使在我长得比你高大以后,你也不怕提醒我谁是家里(de)主管.为此我感谢你.母亲们做(de)事你都做了,洗衣服、烧饭、打扫卫生,而且毫无怨言、毫无异议.然而即使再忙你也总能帮着我做习题,或助我一臂之力.你让我学会了厨房里(de)基本功,这使我在独自一人时不致挨饿.你以身作则,身教重于言教,对此我非常感激.我能看到我多么容易就成了自己女儿(de)最佳楷模.你为我做出了榜样.你(de)孩子们现在都已成人,你孩子们(de)孩子也差不多都已长大.你现在可以自豪地回顾过去,而且知道自己可以休息了.要是对母亲们进行评价,你当立于最佳母亲之列.愿上帝保佑你,妈妈.。
