___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.
___10___To relieve pain or discomfort from snow blindness, stay indoors and wear sunglasses. Keep your eyes well-moistened with artificial tears. For additional relief, use over-the-counter pain relievers. Be sure to use only pain relievers you know you can take without worry of an allergic reaction. You also may find that placing a cool, dampened washcloth over your closed eyelids is comforting. A．You don't need snow to become snowblind
B．It will likely affect those traveling in snowy conditions
C．To prevent snow blindness on the slopes, wear sunglasses
D．Sometimes it occurs from man-made sources of ultraviolet radiation
E．In fact, snow can reflect over 80 percent of the UV rays that fall upon it

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.

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.

B．I mean simply being able to fight against gravity.

（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.

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.
___10___To relieve pain or discomfort from snow blindness, stay indoors and wear sunglasses. Keep your eyes well-moistened with artificial tears. For additional relief, use over-the-counter pain relievers. Be sure to use only pain relievers you know you can take without worry of an allergic reaction.
