31、ngeles. “I thought he was a volunteer. The first time I talked to him, I asked a question in English, and he answered in Spanish. I thought he was white and Jewish. I never imagined that he would speak Spanish.” Jacob Blitzstein surprised his fellow students all the time. He isnt some stuffy guy, th
32、ough he wears his neat gray beard and conservative(traditional) clothes. Blitzstein is warm and gregarious (enjoys being with others). He likes to hear a good joke-and loves to tell a good story. He is determined, especially when it comes to pursuing his dream. Recently, that dream came true. At a c
33、eremony attended by two of his children and three grandchildren, Blitzstein, 81, graduated from high school After Principal Lanny Nelms handed him the diploma（证书） and announced his age, Blitzstein waved to the audience and cried.

34、chool opened in 1974. Although no records of such things are kept, a Los Angeles district spokesman says Blitzstein is the oldest graduate hes ever heard of. Earning his diploma took 10 years, during which the retired store owner suffered a stroke（中风） and two bouts of pneumonia, had two pacemakers（心

Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see, a new study says, Without the benefits of vision the ears seem to
40、work much better. Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by. Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away. Twenty-three b
41、lind people participated in the study. All had been sightless for at least 20 years. Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11. The rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blindfolds. In one task, volunteers had to pick the direc
42、tion of a sound coming from about 3 meters away. When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well. When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group. The participants who had be
43、en blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later.

Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder when you cant see the cars coming. Still, the rese
44、archers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind after age 16. In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11. The
45、se brain parts didnt show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people. The scientists now want to learn more about the workings of brains of “late-onset” blind people. 53.The recent study shows blind people are better at telling . A the sources of loud sounds B the locations of distant sounds C the direction of sharp sounds D the distance of a sound in front of them 54.Which would be a proper title for the passage?
