not think about our eyes very often. it is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are. people who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. everything else seems blurry. many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. then 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 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 distances as people with two eyes.1. we should take good care of our eyes_. .aonly when we can see wellbonly when we cannot see perfectlyceven if we can see welldonly when we realize how important our eyes are2. when things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably_. . anear-sightedbfar-sightedcastigmaticdsuffering from cataracts3. the underlined word “suffer” in the second paragraph probably means_. aexperiencebimaginecfeel paindare affected with4. having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for_ aseeing at nightbseeing objects far awayclooking over a wide area djudging distancesbyou have probably heard of the mozart effect. its the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by mozart, they will become moreintelligent. a quick internet search reveals(透露) plenty of products to assist you in the task. whatever your age there are cds and books to help you taste the power of mozarts music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.the phrase “the mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. it is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it ,well become more intelligent.the idea took off, with thousands of parents playing mozart to their children, and in 1998 zell miller, the governor of the state of georgia in the us, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget（预算） so that every newborn baby could be sent a cd of classical music. it was not just babies and children who were exposed to mozarts music on purpose, even an italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.ill leave the debate on the impact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to mozart makes people more intelligent? more research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesnt make us more intelligent.5. what can we learn from paragraph 1?a. mozart composed many musical pieces for children.b. children listening to mozart will be more intelligent.c. there are few products on the internet about mozarts music.d. there is little scientific evidence to support mozart effect.6. why did many people believe in the idea of mozart effect?a. because a study described it in the journal nature.b. because mozart himself was a genius.c. because mozarts music is enjoyable.d. because mozarts music makes people relaxed.7. the underlined sentence in paragraph3 suggests that .a. the idea was accepted by many people b. people were strongly against the ideac. mozart played an important part in peoples lifed. the us government helped promote the idea8.what would be the best title for the passage?a. listening to mozart , necessary? b. what music is beneficial?c. what is the mozart effect? d. to be or not to be? c at a meeting, a well-known speaker lifted up a bill of 20 dollars before starting his speechfacing 200 people, he asked,“who wants this 20-dollar bill?”a great many hands were put upthen he continued to say,“i intended to give it to any one of you, but allow me to do a thing before giving it to you”suddenly he crumpled(揉)it into a round massthen he asked,“who wants it?”still some hands were lifted uphe asked again,“well, how could it be if i do it like this?”he threw the bill onto the ground, stepped on it and twisted itas he picked it up, the bill had become not only dirty but wrinkled“who still wants it?”still a few people put up their hands“my dear friends, you have had a meaningful classno matter how i treated this bill, you still want it, because it is worth 20 dollarson your life road, you may be knocked down(击垮)or even broken into pieces by your determination or

forget it”9. how many times did the speaker ask the people whether they wanted the bill? a. once b. twice c. three times d. four times10. the underlined word “wrinkled” in the third paragraph probably means _ abrokenbhaving small lines or folds in itcflatdhaving holes on it11. the speaker did this test in order to _a. tell the audience that one should never lose ones own valueb. tell the audience that god values money mostc. test if some of the audience were extremely interested in moneyd. play a trick on the audience dsince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. brain-computer interface(界面)(bci) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.recently, two researchers, jose milan and michele tavella from the federal polytechnic school in lausanne, switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.in the laboratory, tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. he could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve ceils. these send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. but spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” tavella says. “our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”the researchers designed a special cap for the user. this head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. the computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. the wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. they help the computer react to commands from the brain. prof. milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “the practical possibilities that bci technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. one example is this wheelchair.”he says his team has set two goals. one is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. and the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.12. bci is a technology that can _ . a. help to update computer systems b. link the human brain with computersc. help the disabled to recover d. control a persons thoughts 13. how did tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory? a. by controlling his muscles. b. by talking to the machine. c. by moving his hand. d. by using his mind.14.which of the following shows the path of the signals described in paragraph 5?a. scalpcomputercapwheelchairb. computercapscalpwheelchairc. scalpcapcomputerwheelchaird. capcomputerscalpwheelchair15. which of the following would be the best title for the text?a. switzerland, the bci research centerb. new findings about how the human brain worksc. bci could mean more freedom for the disabledd. robotic vehicles could help to cure brain injuries第二节
