阅读理解Pushpa hates tears but when she tells of incidents from her childhood, which she spent battling poverty, she can't help feeling overwhelmed. "We used to be able to afford only one meal every day," she says. But as challenging as those early years were, they would lead to her remarkable life as a scribe(抄写员) for people with special needs. Pushpa remembers enjoying a blessedly normal childhood, peppered with "toys, dinners out and movies at the theatre", until around grade 4. But life as she knew it disappeared when an accident left her father disabled. "My mother, who wasn't well-educated, had to work for ₹500 per month." But what hit her hardest was her struggle to continue her education. The memory of her grade 7 teacher refusing to allow her to attend classes over unpaid school fees still hurts. One day in 2007, while travelling with two visually impaired(有缺陷的) college students by bus, she heard them talk about how difficult it was for them to continue their education. "I remembered my own struggle to finish my studies so I seized the opportunity to help them." "I was a little nervous at first because I had passed my grade 10 examination only with a third class," she smiles. "Since then, I've written exams for students who have low IQ, or are blind or visually impaired, or have met with an accident." It is, by no means, an easy task. "I read out the questions slowly and, sometimes, several times, and wait for the student to tell me the answer. I have seen scribes getting irritated(愤怒的) at students and that should not happen." she explains. Over the last 16 years, the young girl who once survived on handouts has come a long way. Connecting with examinees by word of mouth, till date, Pushpa has written 1,086 exams for special-needs test-takers and won the Nari Shakti Puraskar in 2018 for her efforts. "You should be prepared to help the student for those few hours, without expecting anything in return." Pushpa adds. （1） What do we know about Pushpa according to Paragraph 1? A .
