A month after he was born, Billy’s mother, Terri, noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. She took Billy to the hospital, and the doctor said Billy would never be able to see.Although Billy can’t see, he has never let that hold him back or make him different. Billy began teaching himself computer programming by using a screen reader when he was just seven years old. He is a certified Google developer (谷歌认证开发者) now. Google even tried to offer him a job last year when he discovered a problem in one of its systems, but Billy wasn’t old enough.Billy’s dream school would be Stanford University or MIT, where he could get a very good education in computer science. After he leaves school, whether he will go to work at a company like Google or design a software company of his own is still to be decided. However, he says he will definitely (绝对地) do something great.“It’s a sighted world,” Billy said. “You can’t l et anything get in the way of your dreams, and if you do that, you can’t move forward and make your dreams come true.”( ) 1.

Billy is a student of Stanford University(B)Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes.★Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on (关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on theblackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.★Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat (重复说) what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.★Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct (纠正) some mistakes.★Organize. Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one notebook, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.★Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you’ll save time in the coming test.根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。
