TEXT B
When the first white man
arrived in Samoa, they found blind men, who could see well enough to de- scribe
things in detail just by holding their hands over objects. In France, just after
the First World War , Jutes Romaine tested hundreds of blind people and found a
few who could tell the different light and dark. In Italy the neurologist Cesare
Lomrose discovered a blind girl who could "see" with the tip of her nose and the
lobe of her left ear. In 1956 a blind schoolboy in Scotland was taught to
differentiate between colored lights and learned to pick out bright objects
several feet away. In 1960 a medical board examined a girl in Virginia and found
that, even with thick bandages over her eyes, she was able to distinguish
different colors and read short sections of large print.
Rose
Kuleshova can see with her fingers. She is not blind, but because she grew up in
a family of blind people she learned to read Braille to help them and then went
on to teach herself to do other things with her hands. The neurologist Shaefer
made an intensive study with her and found that , securely blindfolded with only
her arms stuck through a screen, she could differentiate among three primary
colors. To test the possibility that the cards reflected heat differently, he
heated some and cooled others without affecting her response to them. He also
found that she could read newsprint and sheet music under glass, so texture was
giving her no clues. Tested by the psychologist Novomcisky, she was able to
identify the color and shape of patches of light projected on to her palm or on
to a screen. In rigidly controlled tests, with a blind- fold and a screen and a
piece of card around her neck so wide that she could not see round it, Rose read
the small print in a newspaper with her elbow. And, in the most convincing
demonstration of all, she repeated these things with someone standing behind her
pressing hard on her eyeballs. Nobody can cheat under this pressure; it is even
difficult to see clearly for minutes after it is released.
Why did Shaefer put the paper under glass
A．To make things as difficult as possible.
B．To stop the reflection of heat.
C．To prevent Rose from feeling the print.
D．To stop her from cheating.
