Ⅰ. Read and finish the tasks（伟大的成就常常源于面对困难时的坚持不懈和全力以赴。阅读下面的故事，根据要求完成下面的任务）
Louis Braille: Lighting the way for others to read
1.
Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. When he was three years old, he had a terrible accident in his father’s workshop. A sharp tool hurt his eye. The eye got infected, and sadly, the infection
spread to his other eye. By the age of five, Louis couldn’t see at all, he was blind.
2.
Even though he was blind, Louis was a smart and curious boy. He wanted to learn just like other children. At the age of ten, he got a scholarship to a special school for blind children in Paris. There, students learned to read books with large, raised letters, but this way was slow and difficult. Louis knew there had to be a better way. He decided to find it.
When Louis was twelve, a former soldier visited the school. He shared a “night writing” system used by the army— a code of raised dots that allowed soldiers to talk quietly in the dark. Louis was inspired! He spent the next three years simplifying this code and creating his own system using just six dots. This was called Braille. It was much faster and easier to read and write.
