A
When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes 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 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 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. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors beco me 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 daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
56.We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A. we cannot see clearly
B. we think about our eyes
C. we wear glasses
D. we have to do much reading
57.According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.
A. painter
B. doctor
C. guard
D. tailor
58. who are farsighted ________ .
A.cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
C.have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arms’ length
D. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
59.To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .
A. in a slightly different direction
B.with half shut or narrowed eyes
C.straight at it
D. with wide open eyes
B
As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food．Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes．They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children．But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ effor ts to control the loud noise they make．That can have an impo rtant effect on the children．“In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says．“And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is．”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings．Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention．“Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis．“When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child．” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event．”
60．The writer’s purpose in writing th e text is to ______．
A. show the relationship between parents and children
B．teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
C．report on the findings of a study
D．give information about family problems
61．Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ______．
A．they are busy serving food to their children
B．they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
C．they have to pay more attention to younger children
D.they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
62．By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children ______．
A．have to help their parents to serve dinner
B．find it hard to keep up with other children
C．are often kept away from the dinner table
D．get the least attention from the family
63．Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?
A．Parents should talk to each of their children frequently．
B．It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner．
C．It is important to have the right food for children．
D．Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner

Mrs. White lived in a town of England. Her husband died three years ago and one of her children worked in the capital and the other three lived in another town. Her husband didn’t leave her much money and she had to live a simple life. Sometimes her children went to see her during their holidays, but they stayed with her for only two or three days.
One winter morning the old woman got up early. She was going to buy some food in a shop. And when she came out, she found there was much snow in the street. She had to sweep it
away. And suddenly she found a dying dog at the corner of the house. She picked it up and took it into the house quickly. She put it near the fire and gave it some milk and bread. At first the poor dog ate nothing and that afternoon it drank some milk and three days later it was all right. Now the old woman found it was a beautiful dog. And she liked it very much and took it everywhere she went. A week later she went shopping with her dog. At a bus stop a young man was eating fish and chips. The little dog became very excited at the smell of the man’s lunch and began jumping up at him.

There are hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child．And it’s a good thing, too — kids need this kind of protection and assistance, because they aren’t mature enough to take care of themselves and make careful decisions on their own．But eventually, kids grow up and become teens．It’s totally normal for teens to create their own opinions, thoughts, and values about life; it’s what prepares them for adulthood．But as you change and grow into this new person who makes his or her own decisions, your parents may have a difficult time adjusting themselves to it．
In most families, it’s this adjustment that can cause a lot of f ighting between teens
and parents．Teens get angry because they feel parents don’t respect them and aren’t giving them s pace to do what they like, and parents get angry because they aren’t used to not being in control or they disagree with the teens’ decisions．
It’s easy for feelings to get very hurt when there are conflicts like these．And more complicated issues can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be intent on protecting you and keeping you safe, no matter how old you are．
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions．It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though．In the meantime, concentrate on communicating with your parents as best you can．Sometimes this can feel impossible —like they just don’t see your point of view and never will．But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents, and you may be able to reach a compro mise that makes everyone happy．Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through．
68．Why do parents always want to control their children?
A．They are afraid to lose their children．
B．They want to protect their children．
C．They don’t be lieve the ability of their children．
D．They can’t accept their children are growing．
69．The author suggested that teenagers ________．
A．fight with their parents bravely for their rights
B．obey their parents without any doubt
C．communicate with their parents actively
D．persuade their parents in as many ways as possible
70．It can be inferred from the passage that ________．
A．most parents will give in while fighting with their children
B．the conflict between parents and teenagers can be solved
C．the only way for teens to get freedom is to leave home
D．only few parents do well in facing the growth of their children

Dear Liu Chang,
I have been here for a month till now. Everything here is new to me. There are over 3,000 students and 40 classes with more than 200 teachers and staff in our school. The teachers in our school work very hard. Chinese, maths and English are our compulsory courses. Besides, we have many optional courses to choose from, too. I’m in Class 5, Grade 2.There are ninety students, fifty boys and forty girls in our class. Our English teacher is our head-teacher. She is very kind to us, but she is very strict and serious about her work. We all think that she is a great teacher. I’ll do my best in all my subjects. I hope that you can come to my new school to have a look.
Best wishes
Yours,
Li Hua
