The good news is that if we do a few simple things every day, we can maintain (保护) our eyesight and reduce （减少）the risk of ever hurting our eyes.Almost all doctors agree that we can improve and maintain good eyesight by eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. It is especially important for us to eat vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes. Besides, we need to protect our eyes when we spend a lot of time in bright sunlight. The best way to do this is by wearing sunglasses that have 100% UV (紫外线) protection. Whats more, it is necessary to protect our eyes when we work with dangerous chemical (化学物质). For this reason we should always wear goggles in chemistry labs at work or at school. Finally, we should not spend too much time in front of the computer or television screen. That is why doctors advise if we have to use a computer for a long time, we should take a short break every fifteen or thirty minutes.Maintaining good eyesight is important. If we do these few simple things we can protect our eyes and reduce the chances of losing our eyes .As the popular English expression goes, “Its all fun and game, until someone loses an eye” When people say this, they mean that losing an eye is a very terrible thing.73.

It would be a bit adventurous（冒险的）to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasnt a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical (合理的) to use time, not distance, to measure (计量) journeys：the next village is a three-hour ride, for example.In fact, in the earliest maps, people didnt draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that traveling by train wasnt the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design (设计)for the Underground map wasnt very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933,700,000 copies were printed.These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly, using a GPS. Its really difficult to get lost!77. What was drawn in the earliest maps?A. Stars B. Landmarks C. Cities and towns D. Mountains and rivers78. When did road maps come out? A.

Henry Beck designed a new map.B）请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通畅、结构完整、并在答题卷上将其序号涂黑。（每小题2分）You have been thinking about it all week. It kept you awake last night.
