When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.

People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, and everything else seems blurry (=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted.

People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in 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. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白內(nèi)障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.

Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.

1.When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably____.

A. near-sighted B. far-sighted

C. astigmatic D. suffering from cataracts

2.The underlined word suffer in the third paragraph probably means_____.

A. experience B. imagine

C. feel pain D. are affected with

3. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for______.

A. seeing at night B. seeing objects far away

C. looking over a wide area D. judging distances

4.People who suffer from astigmatism have______.

A. one eye bigger than the other

B. eyes that are not exactly the right shape

C. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operation

D. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses

Celebrity TV presenter Ju Ping has been a host on China Central Television for 30 years, but her recent experience hosting a charity event was one of the most special moments in her career.

On April 2, World Autism (自閉癥) Day, Ju partnered with Xia Junqi, a 17-year-old autistic teenager, to host a charity gala at the Beijing National Aquatics Center, otherwise known as the Water Cube.

The event was organized by One Foundation, which aims to increase public awareness of autistic people and their needs.

Autism is a neural disorder that can impair sufferers’ communication skills and social interactions. Sufferers have restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior. It affects about 1.6 million people in China, with medical studies suggesting autism may affect one in every 166 children.

Autism has no cure. For many years it went largely undiagnosed in China but early intervention (干預(yù),治療) and continuous education may help to teach the autistic self-help skills and lessen their problematic behavior.

The gala(晚會(huì)) featured autistic children singing, dancing and performing, and was greeted with enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Cai Chunzhu, a celebrity playwright, recalled feeling heartbroken when his son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. He says his family struggled to accept the reality but finally made peace with the diagnoses in the past four years. He says the boy lives in his own world and is trained in an intervention facility. Sun Zhongkai, executive director of the Beijing Stars and Rain Institute for Autism, one of the earliest intervention facilities for autistic children in China, shared with audience his deep sorrow for parents who often broke down with desperation when he told them there was no cure for their autistic children.

Over the years, Chinese society has become more supportive of autistic people and their families, but there are still challenges in terms of getting autistic people employed and looking after them when their parents pass away.

Actor Zhou Xun also called on society to show greater understanding and support toward autistic children and their families.

1.The underlined word “impair” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A. cause B. improve C. increase D. damage

2.Which of the following statements about Autism is FALSE?

A. It is a kind of illness that cannot be cured.

B. Nothing can be done about it.

C. People in China were not well aware of it in the past.

D. A lot of children suffer from it in China.

3.What can we know from Paragraph 7?

A. It is quite difficult for parents to accept that their children have autism.

B. Training in an intervention facility can stop children with autism living in their own world.

C. There is only one intervention facility for autistic children in China.

D. Doctors often break down when they tell parents their children have autism.

4.Where does this text probably come from?

A. A TV interview. B. A medicine magazine.

C. A newspaper. D. A book review.
