Tailoring is a trade that depends on having a sharp eye. When Abdul was 50, his eyes began to cloud over with cataracts (白内障). A year later he was almost pletely blind. With no social security to fall back on, his wife and children had to somehow earn the money to support the family. However, Abduls luck changed when he was seen by a mobile eye team supported by Sight Savers. They performed a cataract removal operation which restored (恢复) his sight. Abdul is very special to us, because he was the two millionth person whose sight we restored. That was back in 1987. In 1991, Taj Eibi, a mother of two sons, became the three millionth person to receive the gift of sight from Sight Savers at a mobile eye hospital in Pakistan. Now shes running the family home again, working in the fields with her sons and helping at the local primary school. How much did it cost to bring about this miracle (奇迹)? Just 8. Imagine, 8 will give the priceless gift of sight to a blind person. And 16 will restore the sight of two blind people.

The Spring Festival is regarded as the most importantfestival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West.

People thought the sputtering（爆裂）sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been pletely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security，noise and pollution factors into consideration.“In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to （屈从于） public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion.” said Zhou Xing,a folklore researcher.“As people gain more ine and it bees easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy. ”said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house，buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cutting. On New Years Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancing，dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us, ”said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.32. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage？A.
