Blind from birth, I have never had the opportunity to see myself and have been completely dependent on the image I create in the eye of the observer. To date, it has not been narcissistic.

There are those who think that since I can’t see, I obviously also cannot hear. Very often people will talk with me at the top of their lungs, pronouncing each word very carefully. Conversely, people will also often whisper, thinking that since my eyes don’t work, my ears don’t either.

For example, when I go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for assistance to the plane, he or she will invariably(总是) pick up the phone, call a ground hostess and whisper: “Hi, Jane, we’ve got a 76 here.”

On the other hand, others know that of course I can hear, but believe that I cant talk. Often, therefore, when my wife and I go out to dinner, a waiter or waitress will ask Kit if “he would like a drink” to which I respond that “indeed he would”.

The toughest misconception(误解) of all is the view that because I can’t see, I can’t work. I was turned down by over forty law firms because of my blindness, even though my qualifications(资格) included a cum laude(以优等成绩毕业者) degree from Harvard College and a good ranking in my Harvard Law school class.

Fortunately, this view of limitation and exclusion is beginning to change...

60. When people talk to the writer, they usually .

A. talk softly    B. talk loudly    C. take pity on him   D. feel worried about him

61. The word “conversely” in the second paragraph means .

A. in an opposite situation      B. contrary to what we know

C. in a noisy place            D. regardless of my misfortune

62. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that the writer .

A. is very old and weak                   B. has many friends in the airport

C. does not like what the ticket agent does    D. appreciates what the ticket agent does

63. It is implied in the last two paragraphs that blind people .

A. are cleverer than others                 B. usually work harder than others

C. should have equal opportunities as others   D. should receive equal pay as others
