Nearly every girl likes beautiful dresses and sometimes a dress may have a beautiful story behind it. Xiao Yan was born in a small village. When she was 8, she left it to live with her parents in a town. She often used impolite words when she was unhappy. Sometimes she rolled ( 滚动) on the ground. All the people around didn't like her.
Her parents tried to tame ( 驯服) her by beating and kicking, but failed. Finally, they became disappointed ( 失望的) with her.
One day, her neighbour, a woman teacher, gave Xiao Yan a beautiful snowwhite dress. She liked it very much as soon as she saw it. She put on the dress and looked like another person. ' My girl, this is the most beautiful dress, and the girl who wears it will be the most beautiful one in the world, ' the kind neighbour said, touching her head gently. From then on, the girl no longer abused( 辱骂) or hit others, even less rolled on the floor. She became lovely because she believed only the most beautiful girl had the right to wear the most beautiful dress.
In fact, everybody has a beautiful * dress' hidden somewhere in his or her heart. The only thing is that some people don't realize it. Similarly, beauty is a powerful force(力量) that is sometimes not seen by many of us.

We see with our eyes and taste with our tongues (舌头). Ears are for hearing, skin is for feeling and noses are for smelling. Would anyone say that ears can smell, or that tongues can see? Actually, yes. Paul Bach-y-Rita, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin, believes that the senses can be changeable. For example, a tongue can be used for seeing. The brain( 大脑) , as we know, is a complex organ( 复杂的器官) . Even when part of it is hurt, it will try to carry out the same function by sending the function to another area of the brain.
A college student was asked to take part in an experiment. In the experiment, his eyes were covered with a small video camera. The camera was connected to a long plastic line which went into his mouth. A computer would change the video's picture. The picture would travel through the plastic line as an electric current ( 电流) , reaching the electrodes ( 电极板) inside the student's mouth. The scientist would roll a ball towards his right side, left side, or centre, and the student would have to catch it. When the scientist rolled the ball; pain passed over the
student's tongue. From the position( 位置) of the pain on the tongue, the student reached out his hand and caught the ball.
If the brain can see a ball through a camera and a wet tongue, blindness and deafness can be overcome(克服).
( )56. How many senses are talked about in the first paragraph?
A. 4 B. 5 C. 3 D. 2
( )57. What was done with the student's eyes in the experiment ? His eyes were_________.
A. badly hurt B. hit blind by others
C. covered with dark glasses D. covered with a video camera
( )58. In the experiment, a computer was used to_________.
A. change the video's picture B. surf the Internet

③The student felt pain on his tongue.
④The scientist connected the camera to a long plastic line.
a. ①②③④ b. ②①④③ c. ④①③② d.④③①②
