There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.
We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.
Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. They are close to one million nerve fibers(纤维) that connect the eyeball to the brain, so it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.
1.If a child wears appropriate glasses, _______.
A. the structure of his eyes will keep the same as before
B. it is harmful
C. the structure of his eyes will be changed
D. he will lose sight
2.If an adult wears inappropriate glasses, _______.
A. his eyes will be weakened
B. he will suffer a lot from the loss of vision
C. it will make no difference to his eyes
D. the structure of his eyes will be changed
3.With the technology we now have, doctors_____.
A. can transfer certain parts of the eye in a new person
B. can transplant the whole eye in a new person
C. still can’t do eye transplant even certain parts of the eye
D. know almost nothing about eyes
4.The author of the passage tends to _______.
A. explain wearing glasses is no harm to children
B. correct people’s wrong beliefs about eyes
C. explain the importance of protecting our eyes
D. imagine what doctors can do with the eye in the future

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company. This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
1.How much did the lottery winner lose?
A. Two hundred dollars. B. One hundred dollars.
C. Three hundred dollars. D. Four hundred dollars.
2.We may infer that the author believes people should _______.
A. buy lottery tickets
B. make use of half-truths
C. not take anything at face value
D. not trust the Yucky Company
3.What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. final increase B. big advantage
C. large share D. total saving
4.What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?
A. False statements are easy to see through.
B. Advertisements are based on facts.
C. Doctors like to act in advertisements.
D. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.
