根据下面资料,回答题
Steveland Morals is a household name in America. Ask Steveland Morris and he´ 11 tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling. Steveland was born prematurely(过早地,不到期地) and total-ly without sight in 1950s. He became Stevie Wonder--composer, singer, and pianist. The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie is widely acclaimed(喝彩) for his outstanding contributions to the music world.
As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to concentrate on the things that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join in his sighted brothers as many activi-ties as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the usu-ally disabled are so dependent.
Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with differ-ent kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica(口琴) ,and listened to the radio.
Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior church choir(唱诗班) and a lead singer. In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie would play different in-struments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches (走廊) of neighbors´ homes.
One of Stevie´ s sessions was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called The Miracles. Ronnie immediately recognized Stevie´ s talent and took him to audition(试听) for Berry Gordy, the president of Hitsville USA, a large recording company now known as Motown.
Stevie recorded his first smash hit“Fingertips”in l962 at age twelve,and the rest of Stevie’S story is music history.
This passage could be entitled__________.

A.The Music World
B.Stevie Wonder
C.Great Musicians
D.Blind People

参考译文
史蒂维兰特•莫里斯在美国是个家喻户晓的名字。倘若你问史蒂维兰特•莫里斯,他会告诉你,失明并不算是残疾。史蒂维兰特是早产儿,在20世纪50年代就彻底失明了。他后来改名叫做史蒂维•旺德——是作曲家、歌手、钢琴家。获得10项格莱美奖,史蒂维因其对音乐界所作出的突出贡献而广受赞誉。
当史蒂维还是小孩子的时候,就学会了不要为力所不能及的事情困扰,而应该集中精力做自己能做的事情。父母鼓励他尽量同视力正常的哥哥们一块参加活动。他们帮助他训练听力,残障人士只有依赖听觉才能独立生活。
因为声音对史蒂维来说很重要,所以他小小年纪就开始用各种声音做实验。他会同时敲打很多东西,然后用嗓音模仿这些声音。他还经常用声音来娱乐自己,唱歌、敲玩具鼓、吹玩具口琴、听收音机。史蒂维很快就不再玩玩具乐器,而转向真正的乐器。他首先学敲鼓,然后又学会了口琴和钢琴。他加入了教堂的少年唱诗班成为领唱。
晚上和周末时,史蒂维就在邻居家门前的走廊上演奏各种乐器并演唱流行歌曲和布鲁斯曲调。
史蒂维的一段演唱被罗尼•怀特听到了,他是一个叫做“奇迹”的流行乐队的成员。罗尼马上就注意到史蒂维的才华,带他到Hitsville USA总裁倍瑞•格迪那儿去试唱。Hitsville USA那时是一家大型的唱片录制公司,现改名为摩顿。史蒂维在1962年l2岁时录制了第一首热卖单曲“指尖”,而史蒂维剩下的故事已经记载到音乐史中了。
