Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and
other things from leather. Louis liked to help his father in the store even when he was very

small. One day when Louis was 3 years old, he was cutting some leather. Suddenly the knife
slipped and hit him in the eye. He soon became completely blind. When he was 10 years old,
he entered the National Institute for the blind in Paris. One day his class went to visit a special
exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for Louis. It
showed message in code. Armies send messages in secret codes so no one else can read them.
The captain wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper. Louis thought a lot about this
code. Then he decided to write in the same way so the blind could “read” with their fingers. It
is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters. Instead of letters, Louis used a
“cell” of six dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down. So blind people
can read and write even write music by Braille.

VI. Read the passage and choose the best answer:
Last week I made the mistake of visiting the village where I grew up. It was a small, friendly
community with two farms and a number of old cottages round the village green. I realized
very quickly that although in many ways it appears unchanged, in reality hardly anything is
the same. All the pretty cottages are there, of course, and both the picturesque farmhouses.
But none of the inhabitants are country people. All of them are commuters, who leave early
every morning for the nearby town. Neither of the farmhouses is attached to a farm these
days; the land has been sold and is managed by somebody in an office somewhere who has
little interest in the village itself. There are a few new houses, but they have no local
character; you can see the same style anywhere in the country. The whole of the village, in
fact, has been tidied up so much that it has become nothing more than just another suburb.

A. like living in a farmhouse. B. used to live in a cottage.
