Born blind is tough in any case.But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a

small village in India,where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and

therefore,better off dead.Fortunately,Srikanth’s parents loved their son and refused to give him

up.Instead,they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the star.

Srikanth did not disappoint his parents.The now twenty-four-year-old is the founder CEO of Bollant

Industries.

Of course,getting here was not easy.Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard

challenges.As a young boy,Srikanth attended a regular school near his home.Unfortunately,the students and

teachers didn’t quite like him because of his disability.As a result,the young boy was largely ignored and

often spent the entire day alone.

Concerned this would hold back Srikanth’ s development,his family decided to send him to a special

school in Hyderabad.Sure enough,the young boy soon rose to the top of his class,earning awards in speech

and debate competitions.But Srikanth was prevented from studying sciences when he reached 10th

grade,because it was thought too “dangerous” for a blind student.Not wanting to give up,Srikanth took

legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences.

Late,after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,Srikanth set up Bollant

Industries in 2012.For just four years,it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees,70% of whom

are physically challenged.

Being disabled doesn’t mean being unable.“If the world looks at me and says,‘Srikanth,you can do

nothing,’ I will look back at the world and say I can do anything.” the young man says.

4.Why was Srikanth sent to a special school?

A.His parents became richer than before. B.He could be treated equally there.

C.This school was free for disabled students. D.He was sent away by the regular school.

5.What can we know about Srikanth from the text?

A.He was born in a poor village. B.He cared about disabled people.

C.His parents were strict with him in his study. D.He was loved by the villagers when he was young.

6.What words can best describe Srikanth?

A.Intelligent and determined. B.Active and honest. C.Patient and careful. D.Kind but stubborn.

7.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Chances Are Everywhere B.No Challenges,No Success

C.Big Dream Makes a Difference D.Disability Doesn’t Mean Being Unable

It’s a sure sign that summer is over and winter is on the way—leaves that were once deep green turn

red,yellow and bright orange.It happens every autumn.But did you ever wonder why?

The leaves start changing color when the nights start getting longer and the temperature starts getting

cooler.Some scientists think that as the number of daylight hours shrinks,the leaves stop making

chlorophyll( 叶绿素)which makes plants green.The reason is that the process of making chlorophyll

requires sunlight.But according to horticulture (园艺) educator Susan Rose from Colorado State University,

it turns out leaves don’t really change color at all.“The fall colors are actually there all along,” she

said.“But they are covered by the green chlorophyll.As the chlorophyll stops being produced,the other

colors can shine through.”

The kind of color that the leaves are going to change to is determined by the plant’s genetic ( 基因的)

background.In some places,the leaves start changing color in September — before autumn even officially

begins.In other places,they don’t change until late October or even November.Some scientists say the

leaves have been changing color later than usual in recent years.And they think global warming has

something to do with that.

In one study,researchers found that the growing season in the Northern Hemisphere was nearly a week

longer,on average,in 2008 than it was in 1982.And a professor from Harvard University found that the

leaves,west of Boston,

Massachusetts,are changing color about three days later than they used to.

However,other scientists disagree with the global warming theory.Susan Rose said the leaves in her part of

Colorado are changing “right on schedule.” But the leaves in other parts of that state are running a little

late.“The lateness in the mountains may have something to do with the really warm late summer and early

fall,” she said.“But I’m afraid that’s just a guess.”

8.According to Susan Rose,　　　.

A.leaves’ changing color has nothing to do with the weather

B.leaves make chlorophyll all the seasons

C.the fall colors are always in leaves

D.leaves begin changing color because they start making chlorophyll

9.The underlined word “shrinks” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by 　　　.

A.appears B.increases C.lasts D.reduces

10.Scientists guess leaves change color later than usual probably as a result of 　　　.

A.the genetic background B.global warming C.dry weather D.low temperature

11.The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers 　　　.

A.different opinions on the lateness of leaves’ changing color B.leaves change color at different times

C.the effects of the global warming on plants D.why leaves change color at fall

Just because you are in a wheelchair doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the competitiveness—the all-

around fun that playing sports offers you. More and more wheelchair users are playing sports every day—

some even on a professional level. The following information is just a few examples of what gaming
