ten jobs and was fired from ten jobs. he explained to his father. “they wanted me to be at work at 8:00 a. m. and told me to do all sorts of unpleasant things.” “i dont care how you do it,” mr smith

you in the court tomorrow.” when he got outside, johnny told his parents everything. “when you told me to earn some money, i decided to put an advertisement in the newspaper saying, new way to earn money fast! send me $ 5 and ill tell you my secret. when i received the money i wrote back telling people to do as i do.” johnny was fined $ 250 by the court and was ordered to pay all the people

near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. everything else seems unclear. many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. then people who are far-sighted endure 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 then. having two good eyes is important for judging distances. each eye sees things from a slightly different angle（角度）. to prove this to yourself, look at an object out 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. 【小题1】we should take good care of our eyes . a. only when we can see well b. only when we cannot see perfectlyc. only when we are near-sighted or far-sighted d. even if we can see well or perfectly【小题2】when things far away seem unclear, one is probably . a. near-sightedb. far-sighted c. astigmatic d. suffering from cataracts【小题3】the underlined word endure in the third paragraph probably means . a. experience b. imaginec. suffer from d. recover from【小题4】having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for . a. seeing at night b. seeing objects far awayc. looking over a wide area d. judging distances【小题5】people who suffer from astigmatism have . a. one eye bigger than the otherb. eyes that are not exactly the right shapec. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationd. an eye difficult that cannot be corrected by glasses.【答案】【小题1】d【小题2】a【小题3】c【小题4】d【小题5】b【解析】考点：健康类短文阅读 c holiday homes in mallorca

sound better than violins made today. violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the old italian violins. but they arent the same. why are these old italian violins so special? many people think they have an answer. some people think it is the age of the violins. but there is a problem here. not all old violins sound wonderful. only those from cremona are special. so age cannot be the answer. other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. the wood of the violin is very important. it must be from certain kinds of trees. it must not be too young or too old. perhaps the violin makers of cremona knew something special about wood for violins. but the kind of wood may not be so important. it may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. it has to be the right size and shape. the smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. musicians sometimes think that this is the secret of the italians. size and shape may not be the answer either. scientists make new violins that are exactly the same size and shape. but the new violins still do not sound as good as the old one. some scientists think the secret may be the varnish(清漆), which covers the wood of the violin and makes it look shiny. it also helps the sound of the instrument. since no one knows what the italian violin makers used in their varnish, no one can make the same varnish today. there may never be other violins like the violins of cremona. and there are not many of the old violins left. so these old violins are becoming more and more precious.【小题1】what would be the best title for the passage?a. the secrets of cremona violins b. the history of italian violins c. special musical instruments d. how to make the best violins【小题2】the main purpose of the first paragraph is to_. a. list some facts b. raise a questionc. give an opinion d. offer an answer【小题3】what is still unclear about cremona violins according to the writer?a. the shape. b. the size. c. the wood. d. the varnish. 【小题4】which of the following words can best describe cremona violins?a. light. b. shining. c. valuable. d. modern. 【小题5】what can we learn from this passage?a. modern things are always better than ancient ones. b. ancient things are always better than mo
