It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes.Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem.They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty 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. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some peoples eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in day light, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.45.We dont know that our eyes are of great importance until _.A. we think about our eyes B. we cannot see clearly C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading46.According to the passage, a _ is more likely to be nearsighted.A.tailor B. doctor C. guard D.painter47. People who are farsighted _ .A.cannot do a lot of close work without glassesB.can only see things that are very close to their eyesC.have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arms lengthD.have the same problem as the nearsighted people48.To see a small thing at night, it is better to look _ .A.with wide open eyes B.with half shut or narrowed eyesC.straight at it D.in a slightly different directionCLuggageWe ask you to keep a medium-sized suitcase per person, but a small holdall can also be taken onto the coach.SeatsRequests for particular seats can be made on most coach breaks (巴士旅游) when booking, but since seats are booked on a first come, first serve basic, early booking is advisable.

The man pretended not to notice it, but the whisper and laughter began to get to him. He looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked, “This?”With that the young men all began to laugh out loud.

Im grateful for my wifes breasts, and her health.”“Uh, huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?” “No. Its too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now” Shaken and ashamed, the young guy said, “Oh, Im so sorry, mister.” “So, in my daughters memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. And here.” With this, he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon. The young guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked,？”53.
