25、If your mother told you to eat carrots so you’d be able to see in the dark, she was right. It turns out that feeding kids carrots is just one of a number of things to keep eyes healthy. Other things include regular eye exams, and sunglasses or hats are also very helpful, experts say.

While eye disease is sometimes hereditary(遗传的), some are still preventable（可预防的）, said Dr. Ron Weber, an Atlanta-based ophthalmologist. For example, nearsightedness, “not only has a genetic(基因的) component but is also influenced by how kids use their eyes during childhood,” he told Reuters Health by phone.

He said that extended close work, such as reading, has long been thought to cause nearsightedness. Recent support has come from a study in which people with a higher level of education were more likely to have nearsightedness, because they spend more time reading or working on computers. Another study showed that children who spend more time outdoors are less likely to become nearsighted.

But these findings don’t mean kids should be stopped from reading or working on the computer. Instead, Weber suggests, make sure a child’s environment is bright enough while they are doing close work. Parents should also help kids get into the habit of holding their reading material at the perfect distance – about 18 to 22 inches, he said. Finally, taking a break every five minutes or so, to let the eyes relax and focus on an object in the distance, will also help.

One of the most important things a parent can do to help head off eye disease and vision problems is to make sure their child gets regular eye exams, beginning early in life. “The majority of vision problems in children are preventable and treatable,” said Dr. Ida Chung.

27、“Everything happens for the best，”my mother said whenever I faced disappointment (失望)．“If you carry on，one day something good will happen．”

Mother was right，as I discovered after graduating (毕业) from college in 1932，I had decided to try for a job in radio，then work my way up to a sports announcer．I hitchhiked (搭便车) to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got turned down every time．In one studio，a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person．“Go out in the sticks and find a small station that’ll give you a chance，”she said．I thumbed home to Dixon，Illinois．

While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon，my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department (部门)．Since Dixon was where I had played high school football，I applied．The job sounded just right for me．But I wasn’t hired．My mother noticed my disappointment．“Everything happens for the best．”Mom reminded me．Dad offered me the car to hunt a job．I tried WOC Radio in Davenport，Iowa．The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter Mac Arthur told me they had already hired an announcer．

As I left his office，I asked aloud，“How can a guy get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”I was waiting for the lift when I heard Mac Arthur calling，“What did you mean about sports? Do you know anything about football?’’ Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to cover an imaginary (想象的) game．Last autumn，my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run．I did a 15-minute build-up to that play, and Peter told me I would cover Saturday’s game! On my way home，I thought of my mother’s words：“If you carry on，one day something good will happen．”

I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I had gotten the job at Montgomery Ward．

C．hired D．offered

28、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

Life is beautiful but many people often lose their chance to live life to the fullest. Everybody has great potentials and abilities, but lots of people fail to use them. Do you know why? That’s because you don’t have passion（热情）or you can’t keep believing in 【1】. Besides, you may lose your way in real life. So how to make your life wonderful and special?

Nothing great was ever achieved 【2】 passion.

People who are full of passion are always able to 【3】 a boring thing into an adventure（冒险）and trouble into opportunity. As poet and author Samuel Ullman once wrote, “Years may wrinkle（使……出现皱纹）the skin, but life without passion wrinkles the soul.”

Keep trying whenever you meet difficulties.

We often hear people say, “Never give up.’’ A person who has a strong will always does his best to go for his aim no matter how many 【4】 he fails. If we always give up too 【5】 we will be less likely to develop new skills. Instead, if we make up our mind to reach our goals, we are sure to develop confidence which can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. As a saying goes, “The time we get the most is usually when we face the 【6】 problem.” So just go on trying until you make it in the end.

Be yourself.

Everyone is born to be different so it is not necessary for us to be the same as others. Don’t care about others’ behaviors which are different from yours 【7】 imitate（模仿）others without thinking. You’d better stop 【8】 to be someone that you’re not. Stay true to yourself and be yourself. You will pay a huge price when you pay too much attention to what others do.
