There are 8.8 million blind people in India. In fact, there are 36 million blind people worldwide and a quarter of them are in India; however, many cases of blindness in India are curable. The poor in India have limited access to primary eye healthcare and often do not eat foods rich in micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in maintaining good eye health.

Many people worldwide are not even aware that they may have a vision (视力) problem simply because they do not get their eyes tested every year with a doctor, who tests for the functioning of the eye muscles (肌肉), as well as common diseases like night blindness. This exam is strongly recommended by experts because some changes in vision, which the patient may take longer to notice, can be found easily in this way.

Certain simple changes in diet and lifestyle can ensure better eye health for you. These include drinking plenty-of water, not smoking, and eating brightly color1 ed and leafy fruit and vegetables. Wearing sunglasses protects your eyes from the sun, which damages otherwise healthy eyes. Learn about your family's eye disease history, and be on the lookout for any problem about your vision. Make sure that you see a doctor immediately for early intervention(干预) if you see any of these signs of worsening eye health.

If you or a loved one needs to cure blindness or other eye diseases, turn to a crowdfunding (众筹) platform. A group of eye health caregivers have fundraised with crowdfunding platform ImpactGuru to raise money to perform operations on the eyes of blind women in south Asia. Running an online fundraiser enables both doctors and patients to find a way out of the dark. If you want eye care to develop, start a fundraiser today. 4. Why are there so many blind people in India? A. There is a lack of eye hospitals in India. B. People pay no attention to their eyes at all. C. Poor Indians lack food good for eye health. D. The environment damages their eyes. 5. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 2?

A. Examining your eyes annually. B. Strengthening muscles every day. C. Raising the awareness of physical health. D. Attaching importance to self-examination. 6. Which of the following may do harm to your eyes? A. Smoking a lot. B. Wearing sunglasses.

C. Drinking much water. D. Watching brightly-color1 ed pictures. 7. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph? A. How to start a fundraiser online. B. The importance of raising money. C. The role of crowdfunding in eye care. D. What should bedone to raise money.

When Alex Linwas 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper, which said that people were burying old computers in backyards, throwing TVs into streams, and dumping (丢弃) cell phones in the garbage. This was dangerous because e-waste contains harmful chemicals that can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies and people.

Alex was really worried and decided to make it next project for WIN-the Westerly Innovations Network. Alex and six of his friends had formed this organization to help solve community problems two years before.

But what could they do about this project with e-waste? The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose(处置) of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. Then, they sent out a Survey and found only one in eight know what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it.

Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 9, 500 kilograms of e-waste. The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town. After some research, they’d learned that reusing is the best way to deal with electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient than recycling. So, they began learning to retrofit (翻新) computers themselves and distributed them to students who didn’t have their own. In this way, they could help students in the area and protect the environment at the same time.

For a lasting solution to e-waste, the drop-off center wasn’t enough. Lawswould have to be passed. In 2016, WIN helped push for an e-waste bill in their town, which required companies that manufactured or sold electronics to take back e-waste. The bill clearly forbids the dumping of e-waste. Because of the work of WIN, more and more people, like Alex and his team, are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s harmful garbage.” 8. What was Alex’s worry after he read the article?

A. The littering of e-waste. B. The recycling of plastic. C. The change of environment. D. At 11 p.m. on Monday. 9. What did Alex do to start the project?

A. Set up WIN. B. Collect information.

C. Ask friends for help. D. The overuse of old computer. 10. Which can best describe the way Alex and his team did their work?

A. Traditional. B. Competitive. C. Scientific. D. Convenient. 11. What message does the story convey?

A. There is no end to perfection. B. success comes through failure.

C. Every positive attitude has a reward. D. young people can make a big difference.

In Colombia a group, named WebConserva, is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.

The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia, which is home to many thousands of species of animals and plants. Yet gold mining and coca farming have dealt a blow to its ecosystem. To limit additional development in the San Lucas area, the group helps coffee growers by linking them with processors from around the country.

Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other country except neighboring Brazil. In 2016, the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ending years of civil war. As a result, more land became accessible for use, with deforestation(毁林) coming along. Government information shows that in 2017, almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015.

To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants, which costs about $77,000 dollars a year. WebConserva hopes that, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level, 20,000 hectares of

untouched forest could be protected. In San Lucas, the families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests. In return, they receive $ 250 to $ 300 per 125 kilograms of coffee, an enviable amount there. Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His new coffee plantation(种植园) makes a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt. In this way, he doesn't have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle.

Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will. Now he feels that growing coffee lets him be astewardof the land. \"I'm taking care of the environment, the forest and the animals,\" he said.

12. Why does WebConserva set up the project? A. To help local farmers make money. B. To expand areas of coffee growing. C. To link processors with coffee growers. D. To conserve biodiversity in the Mountains.

13. What happened after Colombia’s civil war was over? A. Colombia helped many needy families. B. Colombia lost lots of areas of forests. C. Colombia started to save damaged forests. D. Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil.

14. Which is probably a function of Barajas's coffee plantation? A. A method of protecting cattle and wildlife. B. A substitute for hunting of wild animals. C. A barrier between man and wild animals. D. A shelter for cattle against human hunters.

15. What does the underlined word \"steward\" mean in the last paragraph? A. Farmer. B. Master. C. Guardian. D. Explorer.

My name is Frank. I was from the north of England, but my father had been offered a better job in London, and our whole family had moved there. I was 12 and, having lost all my old friends, I felt shy and lonely at my new school.

There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Tony was one of the few people who were kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group, and as a result, I started getting to know people. Tony and I become good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters, things that were important to us.

Five years later, Tony and I are still in the same class. But just under a year ago, Tony’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had to move to a much smaller house in order to manage financially. Tony, who had always been very close to his father, changed completely, becoming silent and moody. He had always been a clever, hard-working student but now he seemed to lose all interest in his work. He started losing friends. These days, Tony and I see each other from time to time, but we’re no longer close.

About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the cloakroom, I went inside to get it, and found Tony going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet---and I knew it wasn’t his!

My mouth fell open and I just looked at him.
