24、   Has anyone ever told you that eating carrots will help you see in the dark? This is just one of many incorrect beliefs you may have heard. Below, there are some scientific explanations for three mistakes that people make about their eyes. Let's take a look.

It may be helpful for people who have trouble sensing lights in the dark. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps the eyes to turn light into information for your brain. This allows people to see in darker places. However, eating more carrots won't help you see better. A certain minimum (少量) amount will help, but a large number of carrots will not give you superhuman vision.

If your parents have bad eyesight, will you have bad eyesight, too?

Myopia (近视) can be passed from parents to children. A study by the American Optometric Association found that if both parents are myopic, there's a 33 to 60 percent chance that their child will be. For children who have one parent with myopia, the chance is 23 to 40 percent, and it's down to 6 to 15 percent for kids with non-myopic parents.

So if your eyesight is bad, your children might still have good vision.

Do color blind people see the world in black and white?

Color blindness doesn't usually mean that people see the world like an old movie. There are different levels of color blindness. Some people are only color blind in low light. However, in the most serious form of color blindness, everything is shades of gray.

This is actually connected to how serious the cone cells (视锥细胞) have been damaged. Normally, cone cells contain various kinds of chemicals, which are sensitive to different wavelengths (波长) of light. If a few chemicals are missing, people then can't tell certain colors apart, especially green and red. Another commonly confused pair of colors is yellow and blue. If cone cells do not contain those chemicals, then the most serious form of color blindness occurs.

【1】According to the article, which of the following about eating carrots is true?

A.Eating carrots stops the brain from seeing.

B.Eating carrots doesn't help you see better at all.

C.The more carrots we eat, the better we are going to see in the dark.

D.Eating some carrots is good for our eyes to some degree.

【2】If both parents have myopia, their child's chance of having myopia is   .A.33%—60%   B.40%—67%   C.23%—40%   D.6%—15%

【3】What is the cause of color blindness, according to the text?

A.Watching movies for too long. B.Cone cells not working properly.

25、   Long, long ago, people made fires from lightening (闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn't start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole in a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.

    Years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.

About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fire. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful.

28、 阅读下面短文， 按要求补全表格。(每空限填一词)

It is said that the eyes are “the windows of our soul”. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need taking good care of.

Be careful with your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables as fish, eggs, and milk. Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.

A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes your eyes and gives them enough rest. Sleep not only helps repair the tired body. Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.

You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs full of water and gives them a good wash.

We use our eyes in many wrong ways. Fox example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing it, which is wrong. Rubbing can hurt your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading, watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.

Remember to always take care of God’s most beautiful gift to you. Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.
