Topic 4　The power of nature (Book 6?Unit 5)Ⅰ.阅读理解A话题词数建议用时电击事故2727分钟(2018·南宁第二次适应性考试)Having experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Francos world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.
