[02:07.79]Lesson 2
[02:14.45]2. Read  The new teacher
[02:20.72]On the first day of the term I met my new headmistress⁶ in the school hall.
[02:27.77]She took me from the hall into my new classroom and left me.
[02:34.25]  I knew that she had told the students that I was blind.
[02:39.90]I could almost feel the question behind the eyes:Blind?
[02:46.45]I could almost feel the answer,too:
[02:50.81]If she was blind,this should be good!
[02:55.88]I heard quiet voices in a corner of the classroom.
[03:01.34]For a moment I was afraid,but I knew at once that I had to be strong.
[03:09.68]  "Class,"I said as loudly as I could.
[03:14.93]"I maybe blind,but I'm not foolish⁷.
[03:20.28]Take the naughty⁸ smiles off your faces,and stop talking,please!"
[03:27.54]  Of course,I could not see their faces:
[03:32.72]I just guessed that some of them were smiling.
[03:37.68]The class went quiet.
[03:41.52]They were very surprised,and I knew that I had done the right thing.
[03:48.18]  As the days went by,the students had more surprises.
[03:54.66]I could smell when the children were eating sweets.
[03:59.91]I could easily hear combs⁹ going through hair,
[04:05.16]students passing messages,and so on.
[04:10.20]Once I knew a girl was passing a message to a friend.
[04:16.24]I took the message away.
[04:19.87]Later in the teachers' room,I asked a friend to read it to me.
[04:26.11]On one side it said Do you think she can see?
[04:32.46]On the other it said I think so.
[04:37.45]She always knows what we are doing.
[04:42.49]  Soon the children stopped being¹⁰ naughty and started to work hard.
[04:49.75]Before long,they brought in photos of their families for me to look at:
[04:56.70]I knew then that they were my friends.
[05:01.24]I also knew that they had forgotten that I could not see.
[05:06.81]  One day another teacher asked me if had always been blind.
[05:12.97]I told her that I had been able to see when I was very young,
[05:18.64]but my eyes started to fail at the age of seven.
[05:24.39]By the time I was nine,I could not see anything.
[05:30.27]   "How did you become a teacher?" She asked.
[05:35.52]   I told her that I had always wanted to be a teacher.
[05:40.85]But most teachers' colleges did not agree to give me a place.
[05:46.72]At last,a college in London took me in.
[05:51.90]But after I had finished studying at the college,
[05:56.75]I found it very difficult to get a job.
[06:01.40]I tried very hard,and finally the kind headmistress of this school accepted me.
[06:09.87]Lesson 3  1.Read
[06:18.64]On July 21,1998,
[06:23.90]a bad accident happened to Sang Lan,a famous Chinese sports girl.
[06:30.95]After that she could only move her hands and arms a little,
[06:36.83]and had to stay in a wheelchair.
[06:40.67]However,she did not lose heart.
[06:44.64]She took special exercises every day.
[06:49.08]It was very hard on her,
[06:52.55]but people could still see her sweet smiles and cheerful¹¹ eyes.
[06:59.00]She became a fine example for people who have had bad accidents or bad luck.
[07:06.37]When she stayed in the United¹² States,
[07:10.42]an American reporter had a talk with her.
[07:15.28]Do you feel you're improving every day?

[07:19.85]I see improvements,but not every day.
[07:25.10]How did Celine Dion,Leonardo DiCaprio and Christopher Reeve
[07:32.47]encourage you when they visited you in the hospital?
[07:37.61]Celine Dion asked me to keep up the good work.
[07:43.18]Leonardo encouraged me not to give up and to keep on fighting.
[07:49.84]Christopher told me never to think about the accident again.
[07:55.51]He believed that I could walk again in a few years' time.
[08:01.07]What do you tell yourself when you get a bit discouraged¹³?
[08:06.43]I keep telling myself,"I can do it.I can do it.I can do it!"
