Directions：Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph．There is one extra heading which you do not need．

1．________

　　Turning off the monitor and removing the mouse soon makes a web developer aware of the problems that arise when browsing web pages without vision．Speech output is essential(and/or Braille)in order for those who cannot see the text and pictures to be able to access the content．

2．________

　　Screen readers use synthesized(合成的)speech and Braille is provided through a series of pins that move up and down(refreshable)as part of a Braille device which sit alongside a keyboard．Screen readers tell the user about all aspects of the page and all navigational links as well as menu items．

3．________

　　They are verbose(冗长的)and tiring to listen to．A new user may only be able to cope with speeds of around 150 words per minute but an accomplished user has the speed set at around 250-300 words per minute, this is similar to average reading speeds．However, we do not read all that is on a web page and scanning or skipping items is the norm but with a screen reader this is not always possible unless the site has been regularly visited．Too many navigational elements, often repeated on all pages can be very time consuming．

4．________

　　Multimedia is often a problem but for example, if there are accessible MP3 players available, new versions of screen readers will often re-format the web pages to make them readable, and provide separate lists for links and other navigational aids to speed the process．They cope better with frames and tables but only if they are written correctly．

5．________

　　People with weak eyesight may have a restricted field of view, problems with reading small or moving elements, and recognizing text with poor contrast or color choices．They may require screen magnification, better color contrast or glare filters．Screen magnification programs are used to enlarge text and pictures and can also provide focus within a small area with an enlarged cursor or pointer．

Helen Keller

For the first nineteen months of her life, Helen Keller was like other pretty happy babies. Then a sudden illness destroyed her sight and hearing.

The person who changed Helen’s world was her teacher, Anne Sullivan, who entered her life on March 3, 1887. Miss Sullivan had accepted a job, which seemed impossible.

She acted like a young animal, rushing widely around, throwing things, and hitting anyone whom she could reach. Who could believe that such a child could be taught?

But Anne Sullivan was a very special kind of teacher. She had been blind during part of her own childhood and had learned to read Braille, a system of writing that uses raised dots which can be felt by the fingers of a blind person. She had learned to see again after seven operations, but she had never forgotten the experience of being blind.
