are. people who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. everything else seems blurry(=unclear). many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become nearsighted. people who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. they can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arms length. if they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too. other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. they have what is called astigmatism (散光). this, too, can be corrected by glasses. some peoples eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). long ago these people often became blind. now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them. having two good eyes is important for judging distances. each eye sees things from a slightly different angle . to prove this to yourself, look at an object of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. you will find the objects relation to the background and other things around it has changed. the difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. people who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.7. we should take good care of our eyes . a. only when we can see well b. only when we cannot see perfectly c. even if we can see well d. only when we realize how important our eyes are8. when things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably . a. near-sighted b. far-sighted c.

lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods. in reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. a single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometers long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡). the american scientist and statesman, benjamin franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. in the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). this device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning. modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). a flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second. scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. lightning hits the empire state building in new york city 30 to 48 times a year. in the united states alone it kills an average of one person every day. the safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things. with lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry?12. people once thought lightning came from _. a. the sky b. the gods c. the earth d. nature13. according to the passage what do you think

warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer._16_ some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. others burst with anger, and scream and yell. but other people keep their anger inside. they can not or will not express it. this is called repressing anger.for years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more

blood, etc. _17_some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. they believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they

decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. if it is, they say, “_19_ wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”doctors say that a
