(A)
When we can see well, we don’t think about our eyes very often. 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, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s 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 people’s 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.
When night falls, colors become fainter(微弱的) to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you can 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’t 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 daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
26. We don’t 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 reading
27. According to the passage, a ______ is more likely to be nearsighted than the average person.
A. tailor B. doctor C. guard D. driver
28. Those who suffer from cataracts _________.
A. will become blind B. can’t be cured
C. may be cured D. must move to other places
29. People who are farsighted _________.
A. cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
30. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look _________.
A. with wide open eyes B. with half-shut or narrow eyes
C. straight at it D. in a slightly different direction

We choose food to eat every day．We might know some of the reasons for the choices，but food scientist Dr．Brian Wansink has found that we are unaware of 90% of our food decision．Here are some"big ideas"in his research on the hidden power that drives our eating．
Food for thought
In one of the studies，Dr．Wansink made volunteers eat chocolate yogurt in a dark room．He told them the yogurt was with a taste of strawberry even though they were all eating chocolate．Finally，65% of volunteers described the yogurt as having a"nice strawberry flavor!"
The research shows that our imagination has an effect on our taste．If you expect a food to taste good，it will．So take a moment before you eat your unpleasant healthy food to remind yourself that you are eating delicious fish and chips．
Our eyes eat first
How your food looks is just as important as how it tastes．Dr．Wansink gave cakes to three groups of people．The cakes were exactly the same but served in different ways．
①Group one got the cake on a nice plate．
②Group two got the cake on a paper plate．
③Group three got the cake on a piece of paper．
Dr．Wansink then asked the people how much they would pay for each cake．
①Group one who got the cake on a nice plate would pay $1.27．
②Group two who got the cake on a paper plate would pay 76 cents．
③Group three who got the cake on a piece of paper would pay 53 cents．
Take some time to make your healthy food look amazing．Cut your fruit into a flower shape and put your colourful vegetables on nice plates．This works really well for your appetite （胃口）．
Out of sight，out of stomach
Dr．Wansink also found that when people sat at the desk full of snacks，they ate 71% more of snacks a day than those sitting near a clear table．We eat what we see．As a result，put all the unhealthy food in your fridge．
Hide it and make it really hard to get to．The closer bad food is，the more you eat it．

Walter Dean Myers，born on August 12，1937，was an American writer of children's books．He was known for young adult literature （文学） He wrote more than 100 books，including picture books and non﹣fiction．"I care about writing for young people because I remember how much I needed help and guidance at that time in my life，"Myers said in his book．

Myers would first write an outline for every book．He called this prewriting．He imagined what the story would be and wrote down ideas in a notebook．To make sure there's enough action and dialogue for a good story，he thought of 30 scenes．He wrote a short description of each scene in his notebook．
He also cut out pictures of real people and put them on his office walls．He looked at those pictures and came up with ideas．Once he knew what the story would be and who the characters were，he began to write the book．He wrote five pages a day on his computer．
Myers usually worked on three books at a time．When he was not prewriting or writing a book，he might be rewriting something he had already completed．Then he would send the story to his agent （经纪人）．He or she made suggestions for the story．After these final changes were made，the book was published and made its way to bookstores and libraries．By that time，Myers would begin to write his next book．"I want to do the best that I can with my writing．"said Myers．

When you listen to your favorite songs, you probably admire the singer or the musicians you're hearing. Those talented musical performers, however, are only some of the people involved in making the music you enjoy. Most people in the music industry work "behind the scenes", but their roles in the music-making process are very important.
Songwriters
Before you can hear a song, a songwriter must imagine it Some songwriters work alone, but many songwriting teams include someone who writes the song’s words, and another person who writes the music. Pop music legend Elton John’s best-known songs, including Tiny Dancer and Your Song, were written to accompany the words of Bernie Taupin, whose name you might not know.
Arrangers
After a song has been written, music arrangers make it more appealing by deciding which instruments will be used, what speed the song will have, and the song’s pitch. A good arrangement can make a song a “classic” that people will remember and want to hear again and again.
Recording Engineers
Recording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound that you hear. First, they set up the recording studio, the room where the performers play. Next, they use electronic equipment to record the music. Finally, long after the musicians have finished, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the
