Task 3:
Careful reading
I have often thought it would be blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently, I asked a friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods what she had observed. “Nothing in particular,” she replied.
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes, say for just three days.
Read Para.1-3 carefully and answer the questions.

On the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. I do not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that “window of the soul”, the eye. I can only “see”through my fingertips the outline of a face. I should like to see the books which have been read to me, and which have revealed to me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit. In the afternoon I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on the beauties of the world of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.
On my second day, I should like to see the pageant of man's progress, and I should go to the museums. I should try to probe into the soul of man through his art. The things I knew through touch I should now see. The evening of my second day I should spend at a theater or at the movies.
The following morning, I should again greet the dawn, anxious to discover new delights, new revelations of beauty. Today I shall spend in the workaday world, amid the haunts of men going about the business of life.
At midnight permanent night would close in on me again. Only when darkness had again descended upon me should I realize how much I had left unseen.

I who am blind can give one hint to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses. Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrors, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could nw your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of floweever smell and taste again. But of all the senses, I am sure that sight must be the most delightful.

1. What sentence structure is used repeatedly
What figure of speech is it
A similar structure is used repeatedly. Namely, “ Use ... as if ... Hear... as if ... Touch... as if ... ”.
It is parallelism(排比修辞).
■ Learning to learn
Parallelism (排比修辞) as a literary device is the use of expressions, clauses or sentences that are similar in their structure. It can make the content more rhythmic (有节奏的), engaging（吸引人的） and easier to remember. It is commonly used in literary works and speeches.
Post-reading

2. How does this technique help to express the
author’s emotions
The use of parallelism in speech or writing allows speakers or writers to maintain a consistency (保持一致性) Moreover, parallelism can be used as a tool for persuasion（劝说的工具).
Post-reading
Now let’s learn how the writer uses parallelism in the passage.
本文中所使用的排比修辞有：
★ 单词平行（Parallel words）：第四段中“... kindness and gentleness and companionship ...”三个名词连用；
★ 短语平行（Parallel phrases）：最后一段中“... the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra ...”名词短语平行；
★ 从句平行（Parallel clauses）：第一段中“Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound”两个分句并列；第四段中“I should like to see the books which have been read to me, and which have revealed to me ...”两个以which引导的定语从句并列；
★ 句子平行（Parallel sentences）：最后一段中“Use your eyes as if ...”、“Hear the music ... as if ...”、“Touch each object ... as if ...”、“Smell the perfume of flowers ... as if ...”多个结构相同的句子排列使用；
★ 段落并列（Parallel paragraphs）：第四、五、六段分别以“On the first day, I should ...”、“On my second day, I should ...”以及“The following morning, I should ...”开头，使用了排比结构。
