An organization,Eye Care 4 Kids,is bringing much-needed eye care to poor kids.It provides free eye examinations for kids from poor families.Founded by Joseph Carbone in 2001,the organization has helped around 100,000 children in Utah and Nevada.
Now,Cecil Swyers,a biomedical engineer who was once a poor child himself,is bringing the charity’s services to poor students in Arizona,so that vision impairment（视力受损）doesn’t stand in the way of their education.

Kendall Ciesemier is the founder of charity Kids Caring 4 Kids, an organization she created after seeing a show on the difficult situation of AIDS orphans (孤儿) in Africa. Ciesemier was inspired to try to change the lives of those affected by AIDS and to encourage other children to do the same. She tells us of the power her personal story has in showing others they too can make a difference.
You saw Oprah’s show on AIDS orphans when you were 11 — do you remember how you felt?
When I saw the show I was shocked. I had never heard of AIDS before and was concerned that kids were growing up without parents and no one had troubled to ask for my help.
I wanted to create a place for kids to get involved and a place where their small contributions would be valued and celebrated. I also felt that I needed to take immediate action myself. I found an orphan sponsorship (赞助) program online and an eight-year-old girl from Mauritania who needed my help. I started there and Kids Caring 4 Kids grew from that experience.
How has your own illness inspired you to help others?
Growing up with a rare liver (肝脏) disease made me feel different, which I think attracted me to others who were different and those struggling with something. I knew how I felt and I wanted to help reduce that feeling in someone else. I always wanted to support people. Growing up with an illness gave me empathy (移情) for others.
How does your own story inspire others?
My own personal story is evidence that people can give from anywhere. I started Kids Caring 4 Kids from a hospital room. I started by helping one person and it snowballed from there. When I share my story, I think that’s what affects people the most — the fact that I started all of this during a time of personal struggle and weakness. If I could do that, then they can do something too.
1.According to the text, Kendall Ciesemier.
A. hosted a show on the situation in Africa
B. was affected by AIDS and a liver disease
C. made an effort to help African AIDS orphans
D. earned lots of money from Kids Caring 4 Kids
2.What made Ciesemier create Kids Caring 4 Kids?
A. Her experience in Africa.
B. Living with a liver disease.
C. Watching Oprah’s show on AIDS orphans.
D. Her work with an orphan sponsorship program.
3.Ciesemier’s own illness .
A. caused her to lose some close friends
B. made her discouraged and less enthusiastic
C. kept her away from those who were different
D. helped her easily understand other patients’ feelings

Probably many of you know the idiom “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”. But do you believe a tooth for an eye? That’s something a little bit different.
This strange exchange is neither a form of retribution(报应) nor an unexpected gift from the Tooth Fairy --- it’s actually a very generous gift from a young Irishman, Robert McNichol, 23, to his formerly blind father, 57-year-old Bob McNichol.
In 2005, Bob McNichol’s sight was destroyed in an accident when his eyes were doused(溅在……上面)with liquid aluminum(铝). Doctors predicted that he would never be able to see again.
But McNichol never liked to take no for an answer: when he heard about a unique operation called Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis, he knew he had to give it a shot, even though the success rate was a mere 65 percent.
In the technique, the eye socket(眼窝) is rebuilt and implanted(植入) with a human tooth and part of the jawbone, to provide support for an artificial cornea(角膜). Luckily for McNichol, Robert was willing to sacrifice one of his teeth to help his father regain his sight.
The technique isn’t simple: McNichol’s first stint on the operating table lasted ten hours, with a five hour follow-up session at a later date. But thanks to his son’s gift, he’s already seeing astonishing results.
“Now I have enough sight for me to get around and I can watch television. I have come out from complete darkness.” he told his friends.
1.Bob McNichol lost his sight ____ .
| A．after he had an operation on his eyes |
| B．because of an accident |
| C．because he met with a serious traffic accident |
| D．when he was 57 years old |
2.The underlined phrase “give it a shot” (in Paragraph 4) probably means “____”.
| A．give it a try | B．make a remark | C．fire a gun | D．kick the ball |
3.The tooth Bobert donated to his father is used to ____ .
| A．make the eye socket look prettier | B．cause his jawbone to function well |
| C．help his father take in more food | D．support the implanted artificial cornea |
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
| A．Father and son | B．A unique eye operation |
| C．A man defeating darkness | D．Blind man sees with aid of son’s tooth |

If you’re wondering when you might get the flu, a new study indicates you should keep an eye on your local weather report.
According to a research published in the Journal of Clinical Virology, if you keep your eye on the weather and watch for the first major dip in the temperature, you can essentially mark your calendar in prediction for an outbreak the flu.
To figure out how the weather and flu outbreak may be connected, researchers analyzed statistics of 20,000 people in an area over three seasons. The number of people who caught the flu was then compared with local weather data.
After each season, the team noticed one consistent finding: The first really cold period with low outdoor temperatures and low humidity (湿度) was always followed by a week of a mass influenza outbreak.
The researchers say that aerosol particles (气溶胶粒子) containing virus and liquid are more able to spread in cold and dry weather. So, in theory, if you sneeze or cough and the surrounding air is very dry, the air will absorb the moisture and the particles containing the virus keep spreading through the air for a longer period of time.
Luckily there are ways to keep off the illness regardless of the weather. Washing your hands, coughing into the crook (弯曲) of your arm and getting vaccine (疫苗) are the best ways to prevent the flu from spreading. People over the age of 65, pregnant women and young children are at the highest risk of developing complications (并发症) related to the virus, according to the CDC.
1.From the first paragraph we can infer that .
A. people may easily fall sick
B. nobody can predict when one gets flu
C. flu is often related to weather changes
D. weather report plays an important part in life
2.How did the researchers draw the conclusion of the study?
A. By analyzing the data
B. By doing questionnaires
C. .By carrying out experiments
D. By making observation
3.Why do people catch the flu easily in cold and dry weather?
A. Cold and dry weather helps the spread of virus
B. The colder it is, the more kinds of flu there are
C. Gold and dry weather can prevent people from doing exercise
D. Low temperature can increase the number of aerosol particles
4.What can we learn about from the last paragraph?
A. The vaccines for flu
B. The main ways to cure flu
C. The most common kind of flu virus
D. The people who are easy to get flu
