After a terrible car accident, the whole world had been completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years, for he became both blind and deaf. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such a sorrow that he tried several times to put an end to his life.
His wife did her best to tend and comfort him. By and by he finally regained the courage to live on.
On a hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet. Unfortunately he was struck down by a lightning. The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water below the tree. He felt that he was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he didn’t dare to believe that he saw a plough(犁)lying near the wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, she shouted for help. He saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly 10 years.
The news of Robert’s regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread. Many doctors came to prove the truth of the news. Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of lightning; none of them could give convincing reasons,however. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock.
46. What was Edwards doing when he was struck by the lightning?
A. He was taking a walk with a stick near his house.
B. He was hiding from the rain under a tree.

A. Edwards had been blind and deaf for nearly ten years.
B. Edwards woke up with his face in the mud.
C. Doctors held the belief that Edwards was never really blind or deaf.
D. Edwards lost all his senses for about 20 minutes after the lightning had struck him down.
48. What did Edwards see first after being struck down by the lightning?
A. His wife B. The larger tree C. A plough D. The lightning itself
49. How did Edwards get his sight and hearing once more according to the doctor?
A. He regained them from a head injury when he fell from a tree.
B. His wife’s first visit after almost ten years made him so happy that he regained them.
C. The lightning took the feeling from his legs and gave the senses of sight and hearing to his head.
D. The blow that made him blind and deaf was very severe, so it took another severe blow to regain them.
50. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Every coin has two sides B. Regaining the long-lost sight and hearing
C. A splendid thunderstorm D. A thunderstorm in need
