Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of
your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye
care should be put in the first place.
There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes and aging. Televisions,
computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the
computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while.
Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your
eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your
4
best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they
can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.
Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for
eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you can do eye exercises to protect your
eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good
condition for a long time.
All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep eyes healthy. Being happy all the time can be
helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.

It is said that all dreams serve a purpose(目的). While there is no agreement among scientists about
why we dream, there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have.
One common kind of dream is the repeating dream, in which the same story is repeated again and
again, often for many months or even years. Some believe these are a sign people have a problem in their
life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop. Others think they are a way to help people
remember something very important.
Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare. The pictures and stories in such dreams make
people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams. The
reasons of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes.
Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in
their life.

Memory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. Memory really is
learning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to come when called.
Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a "memory trace(记忆痕)." What makes up this trace is
not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For
example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark.
Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find
out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list,
and then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list
is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another method is called
recognition. Give the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the
items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot
recall. A third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is
asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did
the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much
a person has remembered.
One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists
of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in.
Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For
example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In
humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is
correct is rewarding.
( )51. We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that ___________.
6
A. bad memories may cause rats to fear the dark
B. it is hard to tell what a memory trace consists of
C. chemical substances carry certain memories
D. memory is stored in the brain as a substance
( )52. The way to pick out the items on the first list from the second is known as ________ .
A. recognition
B. recall
C. memorization
D. relearning
( )53. What is considered as a measure of how much one has remembered?
A. The length of the list. B. The type of list items.
C. The time difference of relearning. D. The time difference of brain working.
( )54. A good way to train an animal to do something quickly is to ________.
A. make the action easy B. praise it in words
C. reward it with food D. weaken its motivation
( )55. The following factors are important to memorizing something EXCEPT ________.
A. punishment B. reward
C. interest
D. motivation
