2．Most kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read.But it's not that simple for kids who are blind.They read in a different way.Jenny Lee and other braille （盲文）transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots.Blind people can read these dots with their fingers.To know what braille feels like，take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper.Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.
When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet，she wondered if she'd ever be able to read and write them easily.She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam：she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille.Today，Lee works for a publisher.One of her jobs is to change children's books into braille.
To do this，Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code.Next，she looks over the translation several times to make sure it's mistake-free.After that，a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer.Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes.When a book is ready，many copies of it are printed.Afterwards，some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.
Sometimes，going over a story again and again gets tiring.That's when Lee takes a break.Several of Jenny Lee's co-workers，who are blind，use guide dogs.When the animals aren't working，Lee likes spending a few minutes with them.To her，playing with dogs "is always a pick-me-up in the middle of the day".
"I love this mission，" Lee says. "Through my brain power and my fingers，I am putting the dots into some kid's hands."
（1）How does the writer explain what braille feels like？
A．By explaining what braille words look like.
B．By describing how blind people read books.
C．By asking readers to experience it themselves.
D．By giving examples of different braille words.
（2）What was Lee's first reaction to braille？
A．She was excited to get a new skill.
B．She was amazed at the clever idea.
C．She realized she could teach it herself.
D．She believed it would be difficult to learn.
（3）What does the underlined word "pick-me-up" in paragraph 4 most probably mean？
A．A discussion to release work stress.
B．Something to improve one's appetite.
C．Something to help restore one's spirit.
D．A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.
（4）What does Lee think of her job？
A．Profitable and hopeful.
B．Tiring but meaningful.
C．Relaxing and helpful.
D．Boring but challenging.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.7
