    Many of us don't pay much attention to eye care. Eyes are the window of the mind. We should give a lot of care to our eyes. Natural eye care should be put in the first place.

    There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not eating right kinds of food, genes (基因) and aging(老化). Watching too much TV, using computers for too long and reading too much are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you have to work in front of a computer, you'd better take a break once in a while.

    Some dirt(灰尘)can make your eyes red and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes too. If there is some dirt in your eyes, the best way is to clean your eyes by using clean water. You must also try your 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 eyes from UV rays(紫外线)

    Eating healthy food will be beneficial to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins(维他命)A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to cat food that has these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because they help relax your eyes. If a person often does eye exercises and eats the right kind of food his eyes will probably stay in good condition.

    All above are natural ways of eye care that help us protect our eyes. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.

    (1)、               is the most important way to protect our eyes.
    A、Seeing the doctor B、Natural eye care C、Taking medicine D、Wearing glasses
    (2)、All the following causes can lead to poor eyesight EXCEPT___.
    A、reading for too long B、aging C、genes D、eating right kinds of food

    A、Take in more vitamins. B、Stay away from televisions. C、Do eye exercises. D、Use clean water to clean them.
    (4)、What does the underlined word ""beneficial" in Paragraph 4 mean?
    A、Helpful B、Colorful. C、Impossible D、Valuable.

Choice becomes the tool we use to sculpt(雕塑)our life. The tool doesn't come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility.It is enjoyment

    Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It's the creative power of life. Life is always changing and we have to make lots of choices.We often need to check where we are on our journey.

    In fact, we have to make choices every dayFor example, you decide which stores to shop at and which bus station to go on. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are much more important than deciding where to shop. The more we understand the difference between small and big decisions, the more pleasure we will get.

    Life is like a chess game.All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win but to enjoy the game. Make the best moves you can under the conditions. Then you can enjoy your life.

    A. Why is choice so great?

    B. The pleasure is in the playing.

    C. And our life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them.
    D. But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.

    E. Because making right choices is more important than working hard.

    F.  Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.
    G. How can we make correct choices?
