10.A blind dateCan you imagine what life would be like if you couldn't see?At a new exhibition,you can experience the world using your other senses:touch,hearing,smell,taste and sense of balance to‘see'without using your eyes.Learn to understand beauty in a totally new way!Find out what things look like when you are not looking at all!At the Invisible Exhibition,you can learn about the practical aspects of being blind.Try out useful devices that make life easier for visually-impaired people,such as talking clocks,Braille typewriters,and computer screen reading software.Have a go at crossing the road using a walking stick with a sensor.Experience what it is like to do your shopping without seeing what you are buying,or build first impressions of a person based on their voice and tone,not on their appearance.
But there is more to life than practicality!The Exhibition also allows you to explore art:touch sculptures,hear descriptions of paintings and photographs,and listen to music in complete darkness.Experience what it feels like to have dinner in the dark.Spend an evening at the Invisible Restaurant:eat in a relaxed atmosphere,surrounded by the tastes and smells of a delicious meal,and the sounds of good conversation and quiet music.Bring someone on a real blind date-and show them a world they have never‘seen'before.

I taped the picture to our refrigerator,explaining their (45)difficulty to my seven-year-old twins,Brad and Brett,and to three-year-old Meghan."We have so much,and these( 46)poor people now have nothing,"I said."We will (47)share what we have with them."
I sorted through our (48)clothes and (49)encouraged the boys to go through their toys and 50.donate some of their less favorite things.
Brad and Brett (51)placed the toys they had chosen to donate into a box while I filled it with clothes.Meghan walked up with Lucy,her much-loved doll hugged (52)tightly to her chest.She 53.stopped in front of the box that held the (54)toys,gave Lucy a(55)final kiss,and then laid her gently on top of the other toys."Oh,honey,"I said."You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much."
Meghan nodded seriously,eyes glistening(闪光) with held-back (56)tears."Lucy makes me happy,Mommy.Maybe she'll make that other little girl (57)happy,too."
I stared at Meghan for a long moment.I suddenly( 58)realized that true generosity is(59)giving that which you cherish(珍爱) most.I,who had wanted to teach,had been taught.
Without a word,the boys went to their rooms.They came back with their (60)favorite toys and placed them in the box next to Lucy.Swallowing back tears,I pulled all three of them into my arms.
