八、阅读短文,选择正确的答案。
A
blind man took out a small blackboard and put it near him. It said, “I’m blind. Please help me.” Some people passed by and gave him some coins (硬币). When coins touched the ground, they made a small noise. And the blind man nodded (点头) and said, “Thank you.”
Then, a young woman came up to him. She wiped (擦掉) the words off the man’s blackboard and wrote a new sentence. Guess what? Many people gave the blind man more coins. And the coins made much more noise. He had no time to nod and say “Thank you.”
At last, the woman came back. She stood in front of him without a word. The blind man knew it was her. He asked, “What did you write on my blackboard?” The woman smiled and said, “I didn’t do anything special, but just made your words beautiful. It said, ‘This is a beautiful world. But I can’t see it.’”
