《2025年课堂作业武汉出版社九年级英语下册人教版》

Next week, Pushpa Nagaraj will appear for her 720th exam. But she won’t be taking the exam for herself. Since 2007, she has helped hundreds of visually challenged(有视力问题的) students take exams by acting as their scribe(抄写员), reading them the questions and then writing down the answers they give.

When Ms. Nagaraj was growing up in Bangalore, the IT capital of India, her father lost his job after a back injury(受伤). The family suddenly found itself struggling(挣扎). She thought she’d have to drop out of school. Luckily, her mother managed to raise enough money to educate her through high school. Today, she’s a project helper for an IT firm.

One day, as she was helping a few visually damaged children cross the road, it struck her how difficult even everyday tasks could be for them, let alone finishing their education. Ms. Nagaraj wanted to help those children.

“Many of children with sight challenges balk at the thought of writing exams and drop out,” says Ms. Sundararaman, a local educational expert(专家). “And so, their education comes to a sudden stop, midway.” Having a scribe can be the difference between passing and failing.

Over the past 12 years, word about Ms. Nagaraj’s work has spread — so much that she now gets requests from people from all over India. She has also set up a network of volunteers that posts requests through a social media group.

Ms. Nagaraj is keenly aware(意识到) of ongoing challenges, chief of which is that, every once in a while, she has to refuse requests from students to give them the answers during exams. Another challenge is to develop more scribes. Despite these, she is very grateful for having the opportunity to help others. “I have no complaints. Actually, I feel very blessed,” she says.
