任务型阅读练习
一、阅读短文，回答所提出的问题。
My friends and I bought our favourite candies from Mrs Pratchett's Store every day on our way to school. My favourites were Sherbet Suckers and Liquorice Bootlaces.
Thwaites told me I should never eat Liquorice Bootlaces. Thwaites's father was a doctor. He said that it was made from rats' (耗子的) blood. The father told his young son a lot about Liquorice Bootlaces after he found that his son ate it. “Every ratcatcher in the country,” said the father, “takes his rats to the Liquorice Bootlace Factory and they pay him for each rat. Many ratcatchers have become rich by selling rats to the factory.”
“Don't ever eat them,” said the father. “If you eat, you'll get ratitis.”
“What is ratitis, Daddy ” asked young Thwaites.
“It's a very terrible disease (疾病),” said the father.
“I see. But what will happen to me if I catch it ” asked young Thwaites.
“Your teeth will fall out one by one,” answered the father. “And a short tail will grow out of your back. There is no medicine for ratitis. I know. I am a doctor.”
We all enjoyed Thwaites's story. We asked him to tell us this wonderful story many times on our walks to and from school. But any of us didn't stop buying Liquorice Bootlaces except Thwaites.

Samuel was ill.He went to the doctor's.The doctor told him to put out his tongue，and then said，“OK.You can put your tongue back now.There's nothing wrong with you，but I'm afraid you have a problem—you don't take exercise.”
“But doctor，” Samuel said，“I don't think so.”
“Don't tell me what you think，” the doctor said，“I know what you need.I see a lot of people like you.None of them get any exercise.They sit in offices all day and in front of the TV in the evening.You must walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day.”
“Doctor，you don't understand，” Samuel said.“I take enough exercise every day.”
“I don't want to hear any excuse，” the doctor said，“You must find time for exercise.If you don't，you will get fat and have health problems.”
“But I walk every day，” Samuel said.
“Oh，yes，and I know what kind of walking that is.You walk a few meters to the bus stop from your house，a few more meters from the bus stop to your office，and a few more meters from your office to your dining room for lunch and back.That's not a real walk.I'm talking about a walk in the park or by the lake for twenty minutes every day！”
“Would you please listen to me，doctor？” Samuel said，getting a little angry with his doctor.“I'm a postman，” Samuel went on，“and I walk nearly seven hours every day.” For a moment，the doctor kept silent，then he said quietly，“Put out your tongue again，will you？”

The eyes are the windows of our soul (灵魂). However, you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need everyday attention.
Pay more attention to your diet. Have more fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs and milk. It's good for your eyes. Besides, we should take some Vitamins A and B2 regularly (有规律地).
Have a regular sleep. It relaxes the eye muscles (肌肉) and gives them the rest required. Usually you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day, or you will get dark circles under the eyes.
Exercise eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes regularly, which makes the eyeballs watery, and gives them a good wash.
Use your eyes in right ways. Rubbing (摩擦) is harmful to your eyes. For example, if a small thing goes into your eye, don't rub it. Don't read or write in the sun. Too much reading, writing, watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eyes tired, so a good rest is required.
If you always take care of your eyes, they will be very colorful!
