It was break time at the village school. After the bell rang, the children ran out into the sunshine playing with fun and laughter.
All but poor Davy. He came out last and very slowly, but he was not laughing. He was thinking of the bad words that his classmates said about his old clothes. Poor Davy had no father, and his mother had to work hard to keep him at school.
That night, he went home by the path(小路) that went across the fields(田野). He still felt sad. Just then his teacher came along. She saw who it was, and stopped, saying kindly, “What is the matter, Davy ”
He did not speak, but tears(眼泪) began to start. Then he told her all his trouble.
When his story ended, she said, “I have a plan, Davy, that I think will help you. How would you like to be a little flower merchant ”
“And make money ” said Davy. “That would be exciting. But where shall I get my flowers ” “Right in the fields,” said his teacher. “Pick and bring them all to my house, and I will help you arrange them to make them more beautiful.”
So, day after day, Davy looked for beautiful flowers in the fields. He soon made enough money to buy new clothes.

A person comes towards you and says “hi”. But you have no idea who he or she is. If you often experience this, you may have face blindness(脸盲).
A new study showed that face blindness might be more common than we thought. One in 33 people (3.08 percent) may have it. Some have serious problems. They cannot even recognize friends or families. But some just have smaller problems. They spend a long time remembering faces. People could be born with face blindness, or develop(患...病) it if they hurt their brain.
Face blindness sounds like just a small problem. But according to Joseph DeGutis, the writer of the study, people with it may have a bad social(社交的) life. “Recognizing someone is a social signal(信号). It means ‘you are important to me’.” DeGutis told Harvard Medicine News. Not recognizing others may lead to misunderstanding and then fewer friends. Worry about recognizing faces may also make people stay away from social life.
In the past, people paid little attention to this. The studies on face blindness only began in the 1990s. Today more scientists and organizations are working to tell more people about face blindness and its effects(影响) on our social life.
11. What does the new study tell us about face blindness
A. It may happen to about 3 percent of people.
B. It causes more serious problems than we thought.
C. It makes most people forget their families faces.
12. What does “recognize friends or families” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. get along with friends or families.
B. talk face-to-face with friends or families.
C. pick out the faces of friends or families.
13. According to Joseph DeGutis, how might other people feel when you can’t remember their faces
A. They might think it is just a small problem.
B. They might think you don’t care about them.
C. They might want to know more about face blindness.
14. According to Paragraph 3, what might people with face blindness do
A. Study other people’s social life.
B. Pay more attention to their looks.
C. Stop taking part in social activities.
15. What might the writer go on to write about in the fifth paragraph
A. Why some people have face blindness.
B. How people with face blindness help each other.
C. What scientists and organizations are doing to help people know more about face blindness.
