At thirteen, I was diagnosed ( 诊断) with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When

everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I couldn’t.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45minutes. I

raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems I might not be

able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried,

but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person Louis

Braile. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Inslead, he

invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of. knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and

my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just

needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith

so it was quite a surprise when it came

back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do

when you keep trying?”

1. What problem did the author meet when he was in class?

A. He didn’t like the teacher. B. He was not fond of literature.

Birds Can “Read” Human Gaze

We all know that people sometimes change their behavior when someone is looking their way. Now

new study reported online on April 2nd in Current Biology shows that jackdaws (寒鸦) — birds related to crows

with eyes that appear similar to human eyes — can do the same.

“Jackdaws seem to recognize the eye’s role in visual perception (视觉), or at the very least they are extremely

sensitive to the way that human eyes are directed,” said Auguste von Bayern, formerly of the University of

Cambridge and now at the University of Oxford.

When presented with a preferred food, hand-raised jackdaws took longer to get the reward when a person was

directing his eyes towards the food than when he was looking away, according to the research team led by Nathan

Emery of the University of Cambridge and Queen Mary University of London. The birds hesitated only when the

person was not known to them and thus potentially threatening.

In addition, the birds were able to understand human communicative gestures, such as stare change and

pointing, to help them find hidden food, they found. The birds were unsuccessful in using unmoving signals,

including eye stare or head direction.

Unlike most birds, jackdaws’ eyes have a dark pupil ( 瞳孔) surrounded by a silvery white iris ( 虹膜). The

researchers said they believe jackdaws are probably sensitive to human eyes because, as in humans, eyes are an

important means of communication for them. The hand-raised birds examined in the study may be even better than

wild jackdaws at attending to human stare and responding to the gestures of the people who have raised them.

The findings are particularly notable given that most other species examined so far, including our closest

relatives, the chimpanzee and “man’s best friend,” the dog, are not particularly sensitive to eye direction and eye

stare, von Bayern said. Rather, she continued, chimps and dogs seem to rely on other signals such as head or body

direction in determining the looking direction of others. The results suggest that birds may deserve more respect for

their mental abilities.

“We may have understated the psychological world of birds,” von Bayern said. “Jackdaws, among many other

birds, form pair ties for life and need to have much in common and work together with their partner, which requires

an efficient way of communicating and sensitivity to their partner’s viewpoint.”

5. A hand-raised jackdaw hesitates to take a preferred food when the feeder ______.

A. is unfamiliar to the bird B. is looking away from the food
