challenges. They face many forms of discrimination-including beliefs that their condition was caused by
a curse. But one father whose son Brain was born deaf, mute and blind aims to change all that. Joseph
Shiroko started a school four years ago that teaches students who can not hear, speak and who have very
low or no vision a wide range of skills to support themselves.
The baby clothes the students knit (编织) are well known in the local community. And the school has
developed a reputation for its dried smoked meat products.
Brain Resource Center, a boarding school, teaches deaf and blind young Kenyans from across the
country a variety of skills they can use to earn a living.
"We have a number of philosophies that inform what we are doing: accepting these people; loving them;
giving them opportunities." said founder Joseph Shiroko.
Teachers, most of whom are graduates from the school or are themselves physically challenged, work
with students.
Mary Kerubo, 22, has a passion for knitting sweaters, which she plans to continue in her village.
"I feel comfortable here because Sween - my teacher understands me," said Kerubo. "Even if I do not
see well, she always repeats her lessons again and again so that I may understand how to make sweaters.
I know I will make it."
Kerubo's teacher, Sween Lyaka, was among the first graduates of Brain Resource Center four years
ago. She says her students have a lot of unrecognized potential.
Sween says in the future, she plans to purchase four sewing machines that she will use to teach students
and produce and sell sweaters in her home village.
The center also works with students' families to set up projects that will continue after the students
graduate.
Founder Joseph Shiroko's son, Brain, was the inspiration behind Brain Resource Center. The senior
Shiroko says he began the school initially as a project to teach Brain bakery skills. The family later expanded
Brain's training and brought in other young people with similar physical conditions.

Hawking has left much for Chinese to think about.
British physicist Stephen hawking, possible the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein, gave lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing in August.
An illness left him unable to move any part of his body except for three fingers. But his continuing efforts in the field of science have made many young people take him as their idol（偶像）.
His books, such as A Brief History of Time, become bestsellers in Chinese bookstores. “Hawking helps people enlarge their horizons and become interested in science,” said Pan Yunhe, president of Zhejiang University.
Indeed, experts don’t think it likely that Hawking’ s lectures and profound（深奥的） ideas will be easily understood by the average person. But he has certainly sowed the seeds of science among many young people.
And the “Hawking fever” caused by his visit has made people ask: How can China produce more top scientists like Hawking?
“Nurturing（培养）top scientists will take as much work to change society as to educate the scientists themselves,” said Zhang Fan. Zhang has studied in the UK since 1999 and will be a second – year student at Trinity College in October.
In Britain, Zhang said, teachers inspire students to have a general understanding of the subjects they are interested in. And they encourage students to develop new ideas, which helps them to nurture their creativity.
In China, the Department of Education has encouraged schools to provide quality education to develop students’ potential（潜力）.
“I hope teachers will pay more attention to helping us use our imaginations and solve problems on our own,” said Lu Jie, a Junior Three student in Sanfan Middle School in Beijing.

64. In paragraph 4, the underlined word “horizons” means “_________”.
A. one’s knowledge of science B. one’s sight of the subjects

65. From the passage we learn that _______.
A. Hawking’ s books were not popular in China before his visit
B. most schools in China provide quality education to develop students’ potential
C. to nurture top scientists, teachers should solve all the problems for the students
