As more children have got eye trouble, their parents hope to cure the disease by medicine, equipment or by correcting the way children read and sit. But in fact the care given to one s
27、eyes should start with the exercise on one s feet. Three methods on how to protect eyes are as follows: Firstly, don t fasten your shoes too tightly. Try wearing loose socks or walking barefooted at home. When traveling, try wearing cloth shoes so as to make blood circulation(循环 ) easier. Secondly,
28、walking on tiptoes will help improve one s eyesight, and prevent nearsightedness. Figures show that few ballet (芭蕾舞 ) performers are nearsighted. Thirdly, rope skipping also does good to one s eyesight. When skipping the rope, one has to react quickly, which excites the brain as well as the eyes. It
29、 will also help make one grow taller. Besides foot exercises, it is good to pull one s ears. Pulling the ears 20 times is found to be an effective way to reduce the pressure on one s eyes soon. 56 To cure nearsightedness, people dont usually_. （ A） depend on medicine （ B） use equipment （ C） think of
30、 foot exercises （ D） pay attention to correcting the way children read and sit 57 What is the main point the writer is trying to make about the first method? （ A） One should let one s feet be free. （ B） One should protect one s feet to protect one s eyes. （ C） One should protect one s eyes to protec

32、ter think rope skipping also does good to one s eyes? （ A） Skipping the rope helps make one grow taller. （ B） One has to act quickly when skipping the rope. （ C） Skipping the rope can make one s eyes more active. （ D） One s eyes move when one is skipping the rope. 59 There are many different kinds o
33、f peaches (桃 ). One clear difference is the one between clingstone fruit in which the flesh is stuck to the seed inside and freestone that in which the seed floats freely. Customers prefer freestone peaches because they dont want to struggle to get the flesh away from the seed. And thats how it goes
34、 in stone fruit land. Plant breeders(培育者 ) are trying all the time to improve the old favorites. Frequently, the changes are designed to meet the demands of the growers or packers. One very delicious family of peach varieties has nearly disappeared because it forms a small “beak“ at the bottom of th
35、e fruit. That little point is likely to break during packing and shipping, opening the door to spoilage(腐烂 ). This is certainly not to say that the wants of customers are not important. In fact, they drive some of the most important changes. One thing customers like is red lots of red. Peaches used
36、to be prized for golden skin; now people are buying red, regarding it as a sign of ripeness. But red has a hold on people. Theres a story told by those in the stone fruit industry about a marketing experiment. A group of people were given two peaches: one a fairly tasteless red variety, the other a
37、great-tasting gold. Sitting around, tasting and talking about the fruit, the group all agreed that the gold was a much better peach and that was the one they would buy. Then, on the way out the door, they were offered boxes of peaches as a thank-you gift. One held the preferred golden fruit, the oth
38、er the red. To a person, they picked the red fruit to take home. Red sells. 60 What does the word “stone “mean in the text? （ A） The hard seed inside a fruit. （ B） Containers that packers use. （ C） Small rocks found in the fields. （ D） Soft beaks at the bottom of the fruit. 61 Why do plant breeders
39、try hard to improve peaches? （ A） To get better shaped fruit. （ B） To meet the needs of growers. （ C） To make peaches taste better. （ D） To have a better chance for prizes. 62 Why do people like to buy red fruit? （ A） They believe it is ripe. （ B） It sells cheaper than gold. （ C） It is usually more
40、delicious. （ D） They know it is an improved variety. 63 What can we learn about the peach-tasting group in the last paragraph? （ A） They were experts on marketing. （ B） They took home golden peaches. （ C） They agreed about the taste of peaches. （ D） They said they would buy the red peaches. 63 Looki
