(2019·浙江·台州市黄岩中学一模)Snowblind--it’s a frightening word. Thankfully, it’s a condition that is totally preventable.
Snow blindness is a painful, temporary loss of vision due to overexposure to the sun's UV rays. Essentially, snow blindness is caused by a sunburned eye.
___6___Though it is commonly called snow blindness, the condition can (and often does) occur in the absence of snow.
The terms "snowblind" and "snow blindness" have become popular because snow is highly reflective of ultraviolet radiation. ___7___Also, skiing, mountain climbing and snowboarding usually take place at relatively high altitudes, where the sun's UV rays are bined, these factors can double your risk of getting sunburned eyes, compared with being outdoors at lower altitudes in the summertime.
___8___Television journalist Anderson Cooper experienced snow-free snow blindness first-hand a few years ago when he spent a couple hours on a boat in Portugal without sunglasses and ended up "blind for 36 hours," according to his report of the incident.
Not only can you become snowblind without snow-- it can happen without sunlight, too! ___9___For example, sun lamps can cause temporary "snow" blindness if proper eye protection is not used.

Passage 3
(2018·安徽巢湖·一模)Any woman can be strong. I don t just mean strong in mental aspect. ___11___ You may think that strong women are born, not made. You may be thinking of Olympic weightlifters lifting dozens of kilos over their heads, or of bodybuilders posing.
___12___ It is a requirement for everyday life. Strength is what you need if you carry your luggage. You need to be strong to pick your child up off the floor. And, most of all-especially as you get older-you need strength simply to stand up without falling over.
As we age, we progressively lose muscle mass, which can make us weaker.___13___ We might have trouble going up and down steps, picking up something heavy, even standing up from a seat. But while ageing is unavoidable, building muscle through strength training is meaningful.
A programme that is becoming more and more commonly used is Starting Strength. The basic Starting Strength programme consists of four different lifts. Trainees learn these lifts step by step.___14___ Three times a week they perform three of the lifts. If they are successful in a period, they then add 2.25kg in the next period.

G.However you feel about your body, you can become the strongest version of yourself.

___22___. That's because you’ll carry them out without thinking about it. Examples of these daily habits might be washing your hands before eating a meal. Once someone forms a new habit, soon it turns into a full-blown custom.
Forbes India offers a couple of simple tricks for going all the way with your resolution. ___23___ It could help you track your progress.That's because it will keep you paying attention to whether or not you're going on with your efforts.

If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention.

I often hear grown-up people say, “I could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, although I wished to do so,” and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

Dangers will arise in any career, but presence of mind will often conquer the worst of them.___29___
If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. Life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, it smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return. Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it.
___30___I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand straight and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy.
