問題詳情

In the cooking show “MasterChef,” the audience remember the big smile that lit up Christine Ha’s face every timeshe impressed the judges with her bold flavors—and especially when her three-course meal of Vietnamese comfortfood won the “MasterChef ” title. What casual viewers may not have realized right away is that the amateur cook fromHouston, Texas, is blind. In 2003, Ha was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition that deteriorates the opticnerves and spinal cord. By 2007, Ha had lost most of her vision. But she had regained her love of reading, with helpfrom the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS). “NLS reignited my love forliterature. It was what kept me sane when I went through the challenging treatment,” says Ha. “When I went throughsome of my worst health issues—complete paralysis from my neck down due to spinal inflammation, and completeblindness—all I could do was lie in bed and listen to NLS audio books.” NLS, part of the Library of Congress,oversees a free reading program for U.S. residents and citizens living abroad who are blind, have low vision, or cannothold a book because of a physical disability. NLS patrons may choose from tens of thousands of books and dozens ofmagazines in audio and braille—including dozens of cookbooks. NLS also loans the portable playback equipmentneeded to read its audio books. Computer-savvy patrons may access books online through the NLS Braille and AudioReading Download (BARD) service. Ha, who is pursuing a master of fine arts degree at the University of Houston,always has a book checked out from NLS. Recently she was reading Gail Caldwell’s Let’s Take the Long Way Home inbraille. And she is currently working on her “MasterChef ” cookbook, which is set for a spring 2013 release.
