D. How to protect your back C Running marathon(馬拉松 ) is hard enough. Doing with eyes closed for miles is more difficult, but that?s exactly what Mike Bruno plans to do during the Pittsburgh Marathon. He?s doing this for his 7yearold daughter, Cassie, who doesn?t like to municate with others and has been blind since birth. “Having a blind daughter clearly has caused me a lot of trouble,” Bruno said. “but it doesn?t? matter. I love my daughter. I hope to get a better understanding of what she does with her daily life. I hope this journey will finally make me a better father to guide Cassie through life.” “When a doctor tells us, ?Your baby is not going to see,? and that?s the most terrible experience we have ever had.” said Bruno. “Sometimes I walk around the house with my eyes closed to see what it?s like for her,” said Cassie?s older sister, Carly, 9. “It?s kind of scary(恐慌的 ). You don?t know where anything is.” But Cassie has fought against difficulties, and her father plans to do the same. “I close my eyes, and I get ready, and then I try running, just to see what it is like for her,” said Mike Bruno. “I want everyone to know it?s OK. It?s OK to ask us questions, but it?s not OK to look at us and point to us with surprise. If you?d like to ask us, we will be happy to tell you our story.” 80.
