[A]
It all started at the beginning of Grade Nine. At first, Carmen wasn't really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint (眯着眼睛看) to see the blackboard clearly. Her teacher noticed that and said, “Carmen, I've noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board ”
Carmen shook her head. “I'm fine, Mrs Cruz.” She didn't want anyone to know her problem.
At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favourite shows, and she began to get suspicious. “Tomorrow, you must go to see the eye doctor,” her mother said.
Three days later, Carmen had new glasses. She was told to wear them all the time. “All of the kids at school will think I am stupid,” she said.
“You look just as beautiful with those glasses on as you do without them,” her mother said.
The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. Suddenly, she heard her friend Theresa shout.
Carmen ran over to her. “What's wrong ” she asked.
“My silver ring is gone!” Theresa cried. Then they both looked for the ring in the grassy area of the playground.
Carmen realised that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them on. Everything looked so different! So clear! Then a glimmer (闪烁的微光) of silver caught her eye. “Here it is,” she shouted.
“Thanks, Carmen,” Theresa said. “Your glasses look great!”
“Thanks,” Carmen replied shyly. As they walked back toward the school building, two more girls told Carmen how great she looked in her glasses. Carmen smiled. “Maybe wearing glasses won't be so bad after all,” she thought.

Deborah Ahenkorah comes from Ghana, a country in West Africa. She has loved to read since she was a little girl. But all the books she read when she was little were American books and they showed a world that was different from hers. When Ahenkorah grew up, she started Golden Baobab. It is an organisation (组织) that provides African children with books written by African people.
Golden Baobab does this in several different ways. First, it organises programmes and workshops (讲习班). These workshops support (支持) African writers. In these workshops writers can learn new things and improve their writing. Second, Golden Baobab connects writers to publishers (出版商). Finally, it offers the Golden Baobab Prize. This is the most famous way in which Golden Baobab works. Any writer who is an African citizen (公民) can compete for the prize, and each story must happen in Africa.
“Children need books they can relate to (理解). When they see characters who are like themselves in a story, they know that their experiences are important,” said Tiffany Morris, who works for Golden Baobab.
According to Ahenkorah, Golden Baobab has already helped create over 850 stories. She wants to make Africa's book publishing industry a success. “We could have an industry of books, games, toys and characters that come from stories that are made just for African children,” she said.
This is a big dream and also a big challenge (挑战). But Ahenkorah and Golden Baobab are working to make it come true.

Humoody was born in Iraq. When he was two years old, his face was badly hurt and he couldn't see any more. He came to the United States to get medical care and now lives with an American family in Washington State.
Humoody quickly learned to use a cane (手杖) to get around. He also started clicking (使发出咔哒声), sensing objects by listening for echoes (回声). To help Humoody develop this skill, his family found him an echolocation (回声定位) teacher, Juan Ruiz. Ruiz is also blind and he has been echolocating for many years. Even someone who's not blind can try it, he says. Stand facing a wall a couple of feet away. Make some noise by clicking or talking out loud. Listen carefully. Now walk a little closer to the wall and keep making your noise. Can you hear how it changes as the wall gets nearer
Experiment with how your voice or clicks sound in different parts of your home. “Every room has a different sound to it,” Ruiz says.
How does the sound of a kitchen or bathroom compare to the sound of a carpeted (铺有地毯的) room What about a long hallway The differences you hear are the same kinds of clues (线索) that blind people listen to. With lots of practice, their brains have learned to get information from these clues.
Humoody has never let being blind slow him down. Learning how to echolocate is helping him get around more easily and safely, especially in places where he can't take his cane, like the football field.
根据材料内容判断正(T)误(F)。
( )1. Humoody was born blind.
( )2. According to Ruiz, echolocation is for blind people only.
( )3. Ruiz taught Humoody how to echolocate.
( )4. Your voice sounds differently in different parts of your home.

Scientists at Stanford University in California built a robot called OceanOne. The robot can visit ocean areas that are too deep for human divers (潜水员) to reach. Recently, it made its first deep-sea dive — it visited an ancient undersea shipwreck (沉船).
Diving into the deep ocean can be dangerous for humans. A diver's biggest enemy is water pressure (压力). Most divers can't go much deeper than 100 feet. At greater depths (深处), the pressure is strong enough to kill a person. So researchers often send submersibles (潜水器) to deep waters because they can deal with the pressure. However, most of these machines can't pick up objects — they can only take photos.
That's why OceanOne was built. It's a humanoid robot — a robot made to look like a human being. It can travel to depths that are too dangerous for humans.
Scientists control OceanOne from a ship. The robot's “eyes” are two video cameras that allow people on the ship to see what's going on underwater. The robot's hands can carefully pick up objects.
“OceanOne shows how powerful it can be for humans and robots to work together as a team,” says Khatib, one of the scientists who designed OceanOne.
根据材料内容补全下列句子，每空词数不限。
1. OceanOne's first deep-sea dive was to visit __________.
2. If a human diver dives deeper than __________, he will be in danger.
