Many people believe the glare(炫目的光) from snow causes snow-blindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they may have headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness after several hours of snow light.

The United States army has now found out that glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in army in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes often find nothing to focus on(聚集) in a broad space of snow-covered area. So his long fixed look continually moves and jumps backward and forward over the whole landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles(肌肉) ache. As tears continued increasing, they make eyes difficult to see clearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snow-blindness.

Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming(克服) this problem. Scouts(侦察兵) ahead of the army are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men flowing can then see something. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.

1.What is the first paragraph mainly about？

A.The whiteness from snow. B.Snow light and snow blindness.

C.The need for dark glasses. D.Headaches and watering eyes.

2.Snow-blindness can be avoided _____________.

A.by covering the eyeballs with more and more tears

B.by walking ahead and keep looking around

C.by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyes

D.by providing the eyes with something to focus on

3.What is the best title for this passage?

A.Snow-blindness: what it is and whom it influence

B.Snow-blindness: what it is and how nature helps

C.Snow-blindness: how it forms and how to solve it

D.Snow-blindness: how it forms and whom it hurts

4.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A.Solving the problem of snow-blindness is important in army.

B.Snow-blindness was once a big problem but could be cured easily.

C.The glare from snow is considered as the main cause of snow-blindness.

D.Armies around the world pay attention to the problems of snow-blindness.

Many people believe that French people are very different from Americans. This is certainly true where eating habits are concerned (有关的)! According to a report by the World Health Organization (世卫组织), each year French people eat four times, more than Americans. In addition, they eat more vegetables, potatoes, grain and fish. Yet, despite(不管) the fact that they eat larger amounts of these foods, the French take in about the same number of calories each day as Americans. French and American men consume(消耗) about 2,500 calories

each day on average. French and American women take in about 1,600 calories daily.

How can this be? If the French are eating more of certain types of foods, shouldn’t this add up to more calories？And why are so few French people overweight compared to Americans? The answer is that Americans consume 18 times more refined(精制的) sugar than the French, and drink twice as much whole milk!

Although many Americans believe the French end up each meal with gooey ( 胶粘的) desserts, this just isn’t so. Except for special occasions, dessert in a typical French home consists of fresh fruit or cheese. Many American families, on the other hand, like to end their meals with a bowl or two of ice cream or another sweet treat.

1.Name six types of foods that French people eat more of each year than Americans.

_______________________________________________

2.How many calories does the average Frenchman consume each day?

_______________________________________________

3.How much whole milk does the average French person drink compared to the average Americans?

_______________________________________________

4.How much more refined sugar do Americans eat than the French?

_______________________________________________

5.What do French families usually eat for dessert?

Many people from overseas believe that it rains a lot in London, but in fact its rainfall is similar to that in other European cities. Rainfall is evenly (平均地) spread during the year, so　 even in summer a visitor is likely to experience some 　　 weather. In spring and autumn there are likely to be some heavy showers, often followed by sunshine. In winter the rain is usually lighter but may 　 for longer.

In the summer, if there are a few days of particularly hot weather, these are often

　　 by a thunderstorm. It is because the weather can change very quickly that many British people carry a(an)umbrella with them throughout the year, even when it appears to be a

　　 day.

The UK’s weather is strongly influenced by the sea which surrounds Britain and Ireland. The sea warms up and 　　　 more slowly than land, keeping winters relatively warm but also making the summers cooler.

You may be wise to bring 　　 warm to wear in the evenings even during the summer months. Very hot days (over 30 C) are not common, so air conditioning is not as widespread as in warmer countries.

During the winter people will often wear several different layers (层) of clothing. This allows them to keep warm when walking outside, but to 　　 comfortable when inside a heated building.

Some people believe that people from the same country share similar (相似的) characteristics. This is why you might hear someone saying "She is typical(典型的) Australian" or "He is so French". Here are some examples.

French

French people are romantic and outgoing. They have great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.

Chinese

Chinese are friendly and hard-working people. They are polite because they are careful about "saving face" when they are with other people.

Australians

Australians are happy people. They spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.

Germans

Germans are often serious and careful. They are hard workers and do everything carefully. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.

All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet!
