活页作业(二)
Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
After giving a talk at a high school，I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home，but he had expressed
an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great
deal to him，so I agreed.
During the nine－mile drive to his home，I found out
something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症)．When he was born，the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five，and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold－medal power lifter，and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask，“Why me？”He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously，he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future，and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking，I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment，then took it off and handed it back to me. He said，“You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal，I will show it to you. ”
Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before.
Dear Dick，
My mum said I should send you a thank－you letter for the picture you
sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more，but I still smile as much as I can.
I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal，but I know now I will never get to do that. However，I know I’m a cham －pion，and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven，God will give me my medal and when you get there，I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.
Your friend，
Matthew

Eyesight problems are common among all ages and if they
are left untreated，they can cause serious headaches or other
problems. The good news is that most eyesight problems can
easily be sorted out by wearing glasses.
Regular eye tests are important for everyone. Children and teenagers，under the age of 16 and up to the age of 19 for those full－time education，have the right to have eye tests for free in Britain. As the eye test is free，there’s no excuse for not having a regular eye test. Doctors suggest that we should have an eye test about once a year.
Wearing glasses isn’t always regarded as all that cool and teens who suddenly need to wear glasses may find it difficult to accept. If they’ve grown up wearing glasses，then they may be more used to it. However，if your eyes are in poor health，not wearing glasses can put even more pressure on your eyes and could make them even worse.
Thankfully，the days of little choice of glasses frames(框架)for。
